Occasions · Client dinner · Read this first
Don't close the deal here. Celebrate it here.
If your client needs to hear the numbers, book somewhere quiet. We have a live DJ every night we're open, and you'd be shouting contract terms across the guacamole. Once it's signed, this is a good room to be in.

If you're coming anyway
A few things that will make you look like you planned it.
- Warn them it's a party. Better they hear it from you.
- Book 5pm, the earliest table on a weeknight. That's as calm as the room gets.
- Give the cab the address: 605 W 48th St, between 11th and 12th Avenues.
- Casual is fine, so nobody needs to feel underdressed, or over.
- Tables are held for 90 minutes, so it won't run into their next morning.
Order for the table, so nobody has to read a menu under party lights
- Picadera para Dos$38Pork belly, fried cheese and guacamole on one plate, so nobody has to study the menu.
- Trío de Guacamole$38Something to talk about that isn't work.
- Braised Short Ribs$35If someone wants a proper plate.
- Phony Mezcal Negroni$12No alcohol, and your client doesn't have to explain why.
Client dinner questions
Is Cantina Rooftop good for a business dinner?
Not if you need to talk business. It's loud, with a live DJ every night we're open. It works better for a team or a client you're celebrating with.
Do you have a private room?
Don't plan on one. For 9 or more, send a group request and we'll email you within one business day.
What should my guests wear?
Casual is fine. There's no special dress code.
