Recently, we hosted a wedding-rehearsal dinner for 25 in the upstairs dining room. Very cozy, with fireplace, but the room can hold well over 100. Events coordinator Jennifer Lynch was extremely attentive to our wishes and a pleasure to work with. \r

We served a choice of fillet of beef and salmon en croute. Both were excellent, as was the New York -style cheese cake and chocolate mousse pie. Wine, beer and spirits were offered throughout the evening.\r
\r
Although we got started late, due to a horrible rain and wind storm, the staff welcomed us warmly and served with a smile, even when we wrapped up later than the scheduled time.\r

Since the wedding ceremony and reception were nearby, in the Battery Park area, the mood of Moran's provided an appropriate prelude to what was a true New York City event. The downstairs bar was lively, but not rowdy -- emanating the feel of an Irish or English pub. Whether you stage an event upstairs, or stop in for a drink or meal in the downstairs bar area, you'll be well satisfied.\r
