    The ambiance of the place was gorgeous, waiters are very attentive and the jazz show was amazing. I suggest booking 30 mins before the show as the place does get very busy and if it is a date you might need the room to talk. As it is hard to hear one another with the loud music (which you might want to enjoy anyway). The food was ok definitely now overpriced but the options are limited. The drinks were great but I felt like the bottle was a better bang for the buck if you’re a wine drinker. Would definitely come again for drinks and the show.

    First time at the Berczy and we will be going back. Beautiful space and atmosphere. The live piano is a plus and reminds me of one of our favourite bistros in NY. We had a brunch menu and it was delicious. Our server Nikita was great snd we had a nice chat with Luca. All in all a great time and a nice gem in the neighborhood. Thank you !!
