Best Restaurants for Groups in Tottenville

Odeon is one of my favorite restaurants - my go-to when I want a relaxed, pleasant meal with great food. Tonight I had a lovely French Onion Soup with the perfect amount of carefully toasted cheese, croutons and onions. The broth alone is a worthy, rich appetizer. The macaroni and cheese was the ultimate comfort food for this chilly evening - cheesy without being too thick or too soft - that I paired with a basic but tasty mixed green salad to make me feel healthy. I finished with my favorite dessert - the toffee pudding. It is sweet with just a touch of chewy caramelization on the crust to contrast with the tender center and an accent spoonful of perfect whipped cream. The staff - from the maitre’d to the waitresses to the servers and busboys - are exceptionally kind, efficient and just nice people. Yes, I love Odeon!

My wife and I don't make it out very often but having worked 15 years in the restaurant industry I cherish an incredible dining experience. TLDR: this was it. Lives up the hype. 10/10 would recommend. I don't only focus on the food, but the cocktail program, the servers menu knowledge, how the hostesses greet you, and the focus on ambiance and vibe as much as food. (As a side note, I'm not a snob, I just love this industry.) It's been a very long time since I've said this but I was blown away from start to finish. We showed up about 15 minutes early for our reservation, which for me is on time. At the time of our reservation, we were promptly sat. It took a few minutes to get the initial greeting, but I'll give a bit of leeway here because there wasn't an empty table in the establishment. Upon our servers intro, he grabbed us water and took our drink orders. My wife typically doesn't do cocktails , but the server had an answer for each question my wife had and she was pleasantly surprised by the La Granada Spritz. Not too sweet but still delicious. I did the Cantarito. I typically drink Pacifico, margaritas or tequila on the rocks but I was looking to have fun. Needless to say, I had two! As parents who don't get the chance to "date night" a lot, we knew we were going through all three courses. For apps, we did, street corn, Acapulco style ceviche and corn and roasted cherry tomato Gauc. Each with its own unique flavor profile, each delicious. For dinner we did steak and cheese tacos and barbacoa tacos. My barbacoa tacos were just the right amount of salty and tender. The server was kind enough to let me know the salsa arbol was spicy. Kudos to this call out as I love spicy but that's not everyone. For dessert we did tres leches and a Matador. I was leaning towards this cocktail but our server was quick to recommend it as well which made for an easy decision. The ambiance was fun, energetic and can't recommend this enough.

I hosted my company Christmas dinner at Serenas last night. We all had an amazing time. Everything was great from the moment we walked in. We were greeted by the host and escorted to our table. Our server took our drink order, and all the cocktails were delicious. All the food from the appetizers to entrees to dessert were amazing. The decor in there is beautiful and the atmosphere was super fun. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great food with a great night life vibe

Excellent service first time going there we have a great time 

Met friends for dinner. Food and service were very good. Next time I will go Monday-Wednesday for their dinner specials!!
