round tables group dining nyc
Updated: Oct. 31, 2024
You don’t have to be a knight to understand the importance of a good (and very literal) round table. We’ve all been there, dining in a group at a long, rectangular table, and finding ourselves stuck at the end with no conversation in sight. The round table is an equalizer. It’s a conversation piece, literally. At these 19 restaurants, it’s the table you want to sit at when you’re dining with your crew. Trust us.

Moono
Koreatown

At Moono, the details are just as precise, and the food is just as delicious as it is at its predecessor, Michelin-starred JUA. Don’t skip the Pyongyang cold noodle soup, the galbi-jjim, and the beef hot pot. It’s a bit more casually comfortable than JUA, so feel free to settle into those minimal wooden round tables that dot the dining room for the chosen few.
Bangkok Supper Club
Meatpacking District
Yum khai dao (fried duck egg, trout roe, and herbs salad), prawn satay, and beef cheeks massaman from the team behind Fish Cheeks? Don’t mind if we do. Sweeten the pot a little with their cozy round tables that back up to green velvet banquettes and you’re set for an evening to remember.
Pro tip: Wondering how to get into Bangkok Supper Club? We’ve got you covered here.
Chinese Tuxedo
Chinatown
Photo courtesy of Chinese TuxedoMarble round tables dot the opulent dining room over at Chinese Tuxedo, ranging from intimate tables for two and cozy rounds for a group of six, and even a 10-seater right in the center of it all. They’re the perfect backdrop for sharing juicy dumplings, noodles with whole lobster, and Cantonese-style roast duck. Pro tip: Afterward, consider heading downstairs to Peachy’s to grab a drink and gather ’round yet more circular tabletops.
Cozy Royale
Williamsburg
You may as well make a meal that’s bound to be cozy (you don’t name your restaurant that for nothing) even cozier at one of several round tables that dot the dining room here. This spot is best enjoyed with people you feel comfortable eating to your heart’s content in front of: You’ll want to try the hippie salad, burgers, bone marrow with sourdough, and sticky toffee pudding, to name a few.
Le Rock
Midtown
Le Rock boasts some of the sleekest round tables in town. Photo by Gentl + Hyers, courtesy of Le Rock
You can trust the team behind Frenchette with many things, dinner at Le Rock being our favorite. Indulge in live scallops and spiced duck with braised endives, leeks vinaigrette, and many other elevated dishes from our favorite tables in the place – the round ones in the center and corners of the dining room.
Maison Close Restaurant – Soho
Soho
Gild your group in luxury at one of Maison Close’s half-booth round tables. They’re high-backed velvet, with white tablecloths and a view of the rest of the gleaming dining room. Munch on frog legs, potato gnocchi with morels, and, why not, caviar service. You’ve arrived, and you’ve brought your friends.
Bonnie's
Williamsburg

At Bonnie’s, you’ll want to try everything. How can you choose between the chrysanthemum green salad, the shrimp with candied walnuts and Kewpie mayo, the pork floss congee, the char siu “BKRib” … need we go on? At their front-and-center round table, you’ve got one very important addition: a lazy Susan. So, share away, no “pardon my reach” required.
Bar Bête
Carroll Gardens
One of our favorite spots in Carroll Gardens just happens to have a lovely wood-lined booth that ensconces, you guessed it, a big round table. It’s a smaller restaurant overall, so earning this spot feels like a true coup. Enjoy your ricotta gnudi, duck fat potatoes, and yellow cake in style.
Greywind
Hudson Yards
Greywind has a number of round tables for group dining. Photo courtesy Greywind
The round tables here are big, with room for all your closest friends and distant acquaintances. Greywind further solidifies our belief that the only good reason to be caught in Hudson Yards is for a dinner reservation, with their rotisserie half chicken and chiles, diver scallops with bacon and apple, and homemade “cheez-its.”
Gus's
Carroll Gardens
Gus’s gives a taste of old glamour at an unassuming Carroll Gardens spot. It’s tucked away in a fashion that may lead you to believe it’s nothing special but trust us when we say you’d be wrong. The round tables toward the back are half chairs, half booths, perfect for sharing pork porterhouse, green tomato cobbler, and focaccia with ricotta and fig mostarda.
Hwa Yuan Szechuan
Chinatown
We could have filled this list entirely with the city’s wonderful Chinese restaurants, but we showed restraint; as you know, many of them know the value of a good, big, round table. Hwa Yuan’s are for sharing wontons with chili oil, sliced conch, Beijing duck, dry sautéed tangy crispy beef, and Hong Kong-style stir-fried crab. Oh, and those famed sesame noodles, too.
Kokomo Restaurant and Lounge
Williamsburg
Kokomo’s dining room makes you feel like you’re in the Caibbean instead of in Williamsburg. Photo courtesy of Kokomo
Who doesn’t love a party in the Caribbean? At Kokomo, it’s no passport required, with big round tables perfect for sharing their tropical cocktails, oxtail flatbread, island pasta, and fried plantains.
Pasta Louise
Park Slope
This Park Slope pasta restaurant is bright and comfortable, with cheerful service to match. All of the tables are good here, but we’re partial to the large round ones as they make it easier to grab a bite of beef brisket, whipped ricotta, and cacio e pepe from your unsuspecting dinner guests. Keep a lookout for which pasta shape of the day you’ll get when you go.
Rolo's
Ridgewood
One of everything for the table, please. Photo courtesy of Rolo’s
Rolo’s is worth the trip, no matter which borough (or state) you’re coming from. Sink into their retro round table, situated on a raised part of the floor with a near wraparound red banquette. We’re partial to their variety of wood-fired polenta breads, that famed double cheeseburger, and that two-sheet lasagna.
Fairfax
West Village
No matter the season, you’re set for a round table at Fairfax. They’ve got a rare amount of them outside as well as inside, where you can watch the West Village go by to your heart’s content. Go for the Old Bay tots and that much-beloved Bar Sardine burger.
NR
Upper East Side
NR has plenty of Japanese comfort food to share around. Photo courtesy of NR
NR has several lovely round, wooden tables with the chairs to match. This low-lit, 19th-century Japan inspired spot is always cozy, but we like it best when we order pork buns, Wagyu bone marrow ramen, and chicken curry.
Potluck Club
Chinatown
There are a few larger round yellow tables at Potluck Club with our favorite table accompaniment: lazy Susans. Enjoy your jellyfish tiger salad, xo fried rice, and curry tofu without having to worry about spilling on your friends as you reach across their plates.
Blue Willow 夜来湘
Midtown West
Blue Willow has plenty of round dining tables to choose from. Photo courtesy of Blue Willow
Blue Willow’s round tables are perfect and plentiful, with white tablecloths and bright red napkins, and a glass lazy Susan in the center. There’s plenty worth sharing here, but we’d go for the Shanghai shumai, century egg salad, squid and chives, and grandma’s rice noodles, just to start, of course.
Torrisi
Nolita
There’s not a bad seat in the house over at Torrisi. Photo courtesy of Torrisi Bar & Restaurant
The plush banquettes surrounding the round tables in the back of Torrisi’s main dining room are highly covetable for many reasons, the primary one being all the excellent people watching they afford you as you feast on Torrisi’s pitch-perfect renditions of Italian American and New York classics. Pro tip: Do not sleep on the tortellini pomodoro or the tuna with pickled caponata.
