Room 207 continuously proves to be an exceptional space — intimate, timeless, warm, and inviting. The drinks, expertly crafted by Sahil and Som, deliver on their promise of re-imagined classics. Their martini is frigid, their margarita is sophisticated, and their highball is downright yummy. What really ties the space together, however, is their impeccable service and genuine hospitality. Dhruva, their maître d’, brings fantastic energy to the room. He’s the first person to greet you at the entrance and ensures you’re comfortable and well taken care of for the entirety of the evening. He’s funny, engaging, and fast. Because of Dhruva and the team, I am always so excited to bring guests into this space. It feels less like a restaurant and more like your best friend’s home. You should definitely come here to be wined and dined by this superb three-man team.

Great drinks, amazing atmosphere, and fantastic, professional staff; a mixologist made me a custom drink and it was so delightful to see how passionate and curious he was about mixology. Not to mention the drink he made me was phenomenal!

Special thanks to the staff for the kind welcome and exceptional hospitality. Everyone was so attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent service. The bartender even made me customized drinks, and I was absolutely amazed! Such a cute and cozy speakeasy with live jazz. I couldn’t try the food this time, but I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Popped by here on a Wednesday around 8 before a concert without a reservation and they were able to seat us. Very cute and intimate place with live jazz. Not too loud when we were there but the place was about half full. Service was great, we ordered dirty martinis and halfway through our drinks they replaced our glasses with fresh cold glasses to keep our martinis chilled as we finished them. Never experience this before in the city! Would recommend but would likely make a reservation.
