Tuffet

I had an absolutely amazing time organizing my 30th birthday party at Tuffet! Alicia, Tyler, and the rest of the staff here were absolutely lovely to work with leading up to and during my event. I reserved the indoor back room along with several plates of food and some sangria pitchers, all of which was perfect to keep the party going for hours. Everyone loved the rest of the drink menu too and the cozy set up in the rest of the bar. I'll definitely be back, and highly recommend Tuffet for hosting events!

Tuffet was the perfect venue for a surprise birthday party! The food and drinks were delicious, and the backyard and private party room were so cute and cozy. There was plenty of space inside and outside for our whole group. The bartenders and staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I also had a great experience working with the owner to plan this event!

*Review by a cheesemonger* Loved it! I was looking for somewhere to replace my prior favourite, Murray's Cheese Bar, after a terribly disappointing experience there ever since they changed locations. This is a great spot and alternative to Murray's! They have a chalkboard of featured cheeses and meats and you can create your own platter. I did four for $27. I do wish they would give a little more cheese but the amount is what I was expecting, knowing how expensive cheese is. Everything tasted great, at least. The bartender/server (she was the only FOH staff on a Tuesday evening and was doing it all) was super friendly and quiete knowledgeable about the products as well. I really enjoyed everything I ordered and the accompaniments (fresh apple, dried fruits, nuts, toasted baguette and a jam) were great as well. Some of the bread was stale or just needed a bit more time in the oven to remove the moisture. Overall, had a really good experience and it was nice and quiet (but not too quiet), on a Tuesday anyway. Nice ambiance, very dark in the restaurant, soft music playing. I only ordered the cheese & meat and a drink so I can't speak to the other food. The seasonal sangria (rosemary rosé) was really delicious too! I'll be coming back next time I visit NYC :)

We used Tuffet as a venue for our wedding welcome party on a Friday night. We started with a partial buy-out for a casual rehearsal dinner and then did a full buy-out for the rest of the night for the rest of our guests. The space is great, everyone loved it. We really enjoyed the food and the people working there were super helpful and our friends and family enjoyed chatting with them. Alicia was very helpful getting the night set up. The venue is so flexible in how they arrange events. Everything was high quality and affordable!

Tuffet was the perfect location for our intimate "modern tropical" wedding in September. We were able to hire outside catering, bring our own cake, and have a DJ. There were some restrictions with the DJ (e.g. could not play past 11p outside), but all the restrictions were reasonable and made clear ahead of time. The backyard is beautiful. The string lights and greenery along the walls made for a very romantic atmosphere. More than anything, I am so grateful to Alicia and her staff for being so organized and on top of their game. Alicia is experienced at hosting events at Tuffet and worked with me and my wedding planner to accommodate our 87 guests for a ceremony, dinner, and dancing. The backyard space was flipped three times for each of those events at the wedding. Alicia helped us figure out seating arrangements, and was very helpful the day of the wedding by organizing and making sure things were running smoothly. Her staff were awesome and the bartenders even pitched in when one of our servers could not make it. Overall, highly recommend Tuffet for a wedding, or any event, really.
