I hear couples talk all the time about how much they wish they could have the food from their favorite restaurant for their reception…

Sometimes that’s a little tough – it might not be large enough for the number of guests you’re inviting…

But, what about hosting a rehearsal dinner there, maybe a bridesmaids luncheon, a shower or even dinner on the town before heading out to your bachelor/ette party?

Earlier this week I had lunch at Jones – one of the restaurants in the Starr Restaurant Organization…

They operate nearly a dozen restaurants in Philadelphia, New York and Atlantic City – many of which offer private or semi private spaces for parties and smaller events…

Jones is known for their comfort food (which I love!)

Try as I may to be good and have a healthy light lunch (they really have some great salads and lighter items)…I kept diverting to the macaroni and cheese (YUMMM) and ended up with they’re Key Lime Pie

Whatever your taste might be they seem to have a cuisine to fit your fancy – Alma De Cuba, Barclay Prime, Buddakan, Continental, El Vez, Morimoto, Tangerine and Pod…to name a few

Kerri in their events department will work with you to find the right space for your party and customize a menu that works for your needs…

I’ve had clients use the roof top deck at Continental Mid Town for an after party on a Sunday night, another who rented out an entire restaurant for their rehearsal dinner on a Thursday and couple who just did a group dinner before heading out on the town…

They’ll absolutely treat you like a Starr!
