Twin Tails, a Thai and Vietnamese restaurant on the third floor of 10 Columbus Circle in New York, hosts private dinners, cocktail receptions and corporate celebrations in four separate spaces, from a table for 10 to a semi-private dining room for 60. The whole restaurant can also be bought out.
Seminars and company events
The restaurant is run by the team behind Bad Roman and belongs to the Quality Branded group. Its official site lists private events as a core offer: sit-down dinners, cocktail parties with passed appetizers, and formats in between. Corporate celebrations are named explicitly. The format suits client dinners, team celebrations, department parties and small receptions rather than full-day seminars, since the site describes no meeting equipment or daytime program.
Event menus feature the restaurant's Thai and Vietnamese cooking, specialty cocktails and a few Quality Branded classics. A sample events menu is available on the site, and requests go through an inquiry form or a named events contact.
Rooms and capacities
Twin Tails offers three private event spaces in addition to a semi-private dining room and full restaurant buyouts.
The Kitchen Table sits inside the working kitchen. It seats 10 guests, who pour their own wine and pass dishes while watching the kitchen at work. The room is small and suits birthday dinners, corporate celebrations and personal gatherings. It has views of Central Park and Columbus Circle.
The Salon is a dedicated private room overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park. It has mirrored walls, chrome chandeliers, a vintage fireplace mantel and a pink floor. It holds 24 seated or 30 standing.
The Mirror Room is an oval, standalone bar inside the restaurant with a marble bar top and mirrored panels around the room. It can be used for cocktail events or seated dinners and holds 24 seated or 30 standing, with dedicated bartenders.
The Semi-Private Dining Room is the largest of the group at 60 seated or 60 standing. Rattan screens separate it from the main room, and it looks over Columbus Circle. The site says it works for seated dinners and cocktail receptions, with tailored event packages.
Catering
Food and drink are provided in house. Menus are built around Thai and Vietnamese dishes, with specialty cocktails served alongside. Organisers choose between a seated dinner, passed appetizers or a mix of both.
Larger groups and sister venues
Groups beyond 60 guests can ask about a full restaurant buyout, although the official site gives no figure for it. The same group also takes private events at its sister restaurant Bad Roman. There, the Lazzeri Room holds up to 40 seated or 50 at a reception, and the Piazza Room holds up to 48 seated or 60 at a reception. The two rooms can be combined for larger events.
Getting there
The restaurant is on the third floor of 10 Columbus Circle, on the southwest corner of Central Park in Midtown Manhattan. It serves lunch and dinner daily. Guests arrive by the Columbus Circle subway station, which is next to the building.
