I recently hosted an event at Romantic Event Center, and I cannot praise their team enough! From start to finish, the hard-working staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran flawlessly. Their dedication was evident in every interaction—they were responsive, proactive, and genuinely invested in making our event a success. Everyone was calm, understanding, respectful, and paid great attention to detail. Thank you again!

Yesterday we celebrated my son’s bar mitzvah. We had an incredible experience at “romantic”. The owners addressed every detail and nuance of my vision of the party. They were sensitive and responsive to each and all of my particular ideas and requests. The food was absolutely incredible… Everyone of my guests has written a compliment the next day after the party… From the dumpling soup, roasted duck, lamb to exquisite mussels with hoisin sauce and caviar – top-notch… Tania is an incredible chef. Marina and Roman created a warm and fun atmosphere, in which every guest from child to adult immensely enjoyed themselves. Thank you!

Russian party center, with family-style food service. This place has underdone a refresh and a rebranding to "Romantic" recently. I think the name is a bit unfortunate, as it sounds a bit old timey. But I appreciate the new touches, including a giant video screen and a interior design update. The last time I visited, the food was uniformly excellent, the in-house music guys belted out tunes past 12:45 am when we left.
