"I
recently hosted a party
for some of my girl friends at
the Havana Room and I must say , it was
one of the best Friday nights ever! Our
soiree was a great kick-off for the summer.
The people at Eat, Drink, and Be Merry make
sure you do just that. Eat, Drink, and yes
be quite merry indeed. Each employee is
extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable,
fun, ridiculously nice, and tremendously
accommodating.
This
event wouldn't have been the same or nearly
as fun anywhere else or arranged by anyone
else! Since our event, everyone has been
commenting and requesting another return
to The Havana Room. Perhaps it was the great
music provided by the Mo's Caribbean House
DJ, or the affordable drinks, or the personal
atmosphere. Either way, no one was ready
to end the night and no one can stop talking
about the great time we had!"

"I
WANT TO THANK EVERYONE that
was involved in the planning and implementation
of my husband's 50th surprise party. From
the very first day that I contacted your
group, I felt comfortable in your hands
and confident that this would be a successful
party. You exceeded all my hopes and made
his party a wonderful and extra special
event! All the guests, from as far away
as Florida, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
NY, were impressed with the service, the
food and the room! Thank you so much for
your hard work, for taking the time to answer
all my questions and making Sunday a great
day for all of us!! I will recommend you
to all of my friends!"

"The
party Saturday night was beyond my expectations.
Everything was perfect. The room was great
and accommodated us all very well. The food
was excellent. The staff was as attentive
as they could be, serving us well, and clearing
efficiently.
I
have hosted many parties, and never have
I had one where I could find nothing to
criticize.
You
were always there if I had a question. Please
commend Somer on convincing me that this
would be a perfect place to celebrate my
wife's brithday. We will recommend you and
your company to many people."

just wanted to thank you
for everything. The night was great and
went without a hitch. Your staff was excellent
to work with and the bars were all extremely

you guys without a doubt. Thanks again."

"Thank
you for organizing the best McCormick 80's
Party yet.
It was everything I needed it to be. Eat,
Drink & Be Merry continues to be my
party source because you guys make it all
so easy. The contract process was effortless
for me, and then the staff at the Havana
Room was great. Christine in particular
made the evening a success with her professional
yet fun nature. And we couldn't have asked
for a better bar staff in Tiffany, Bea,
Cory, and my old buddy Jackson. Frankly,
I wish we could do this every week.
But
of course it all comes back to you. I deal
with Eat, Drink & Be Merry, and therefore
Mo's Caribbean, Jake's Dilemma, and the
others because you make it such a great
experience. Who would know that an operation
that organizes such great, throw-down parties
is run so smoothly and professionally? I'm
lucky that I know that.
Needless
to say, I was so happy with the Havana Room
that I'd like to lock it up for next year.
Can we discuss? Beers and cheers to you
and everyone in the operation."

"I
just wanted to thank you
for everything you did in helping us set
up our little surprise engagement party

"On
behalf of Minority Interchange, Inc.,
and myself personally,
I would like to thank all of you for all
your help in planning our After Dark Party
and for making it such an enjoyable evening.
We really enjoyed ourselves and loved the
Havana Room.
The
food was great and plentiful. Everyone ate
to their heart's content. the music situation
worked out just fine once we found someone
to bring us some really cool CD's. The ladies
who served us were great, particularly Somer
and Tiffany, who also seemed to have enjoyed
themselves as much as we did. Rumor is we'll
be doing this once every quarter, so just
keep in mind that this gang may be back
soon!
Again,
thanks to all of you, particularly Mike,
for all your help and patience during the
planning of the party."

"I
was extremely pleased with the service and
professionalism
provided by your staff. I held a surprise
30th birthday party at The Havana Room.
Leyna and her partner, Michael, were amazing
to do business with. Their upbeat personalitlies
and impeccable service allowed for the party
to be a huge success. Leyna, who booked
the party for me, listened to my interests
and steered me in the right direction for
the perfect location and package to meet
my needs. I felt very confident with her
advice and suggestions. Michael, who managed
the party that evening, was absolutely outstanding
to do business with also. He was very attentive,
helpful, and always on hand and visible
in the event that I needed anything
that night. I felt very comfortable
knowing that he was in charge during the
party.
I
will be sure to spread the word even more
about the professional staff and service
provided by
Eat,
Drink & Be Merry. Thank you for everything."

"Thanks
very much for
your efforts in arranging our end of summer
party.
E verything went really well. 'Down the
Hatch' is a great establishment,
hence our arrangements to be there again
this summer. It was a perfect way
to celebrate all that we'd accomplished
as a team and great way to relax.
A s i may have mentioned on the phone when
making the arrangements, our party
was for the staff from summit camp - a camp
in pennsylvania that is
specifically for children with ADD/ADHD
and other learning disabilities.
O ur staff comes from all around the world
to work insane hours with very
challenging children. Having one last gathering
in such an amazing city
(new york is great!!!!) was the perfect
way to say good-bye to one another.
T hanks for making that possible."

"Thank
you for all of your help, cooperation, and

putting up with our 100's of phone calls
as we organized the party! We had a wonderful

"I
want to thank you for helping make my party
a huge success....
You were both professional, supportive,
honest, and a pleasure to work with. Everthing
ran smoothly and it was an added bonus to
having Mike there to help me. Everone is
raving about the place, the open bar, and
how well ran it was. you also made sure
everyone at the bar was there to help including
the manager, bounce, and bartender who were
all extremely helpful and supportive. I
have been recommending you to anyone that
needs help planning a party. I hope to work
with you again soon. If you ever need anything,
feel free to let me know. Thank you again
for all of your help."
