Had dinner along with roughly 16 others at Gramercy Tavern last night. Very pretty private room and the staff was attentive and helpful. Food was pretty good, although not transcendent.

re: kayonyc
I've not been a fan of Gramercy Tavern because none of the meals I've ever had there measured up to the hype. I was hoping Michael Anthony's arrival to head up the kitchen would mean that the quality of the cuisine would improve dramatically. I'm disappointed to hear that you thought the food was only "pretty good." But, his own totally new menu will not be rolled out until sometime in January, so maybe there's still hope.

I agree that the New American cuisine at Compass is very good though it isn't in the same rarefied category as Chef Humm's at EMP. Also, very different ambiance from EMP or Barbetta. Not gorgeous, but the contemporary decor is attractive.

I haven't been to Picholine is quite a while, but chef/owner Terrance Brennan's French/Mediterranean cuisine has always been excellent, and they are, of course, known for their cheese program. The restaurant recently re-opened after a complete refurbishment. From the pictures on their website, the decor looks quite sophisticated. Private party info indicates they have a space that can accommodate up to 22 people.

Budget about 4,000, cuisine preferences is a difficult topic because of the guests but I guess I would have to play safe and say Italian, American, maybe Greek but certainly nothing Asian, I would not want it to be too casual because it is actually a wedding dinner, so a little fancy would be nice.

$4000 for 20-25 is a fairly substantial budget ($160-$200pp).
Eleven Madison Park would be a wonderful place for a wedding celebration. Chef Humm's cuisine is sensational, and the space is beautiful. I've never seen the private rooms, which are upstairs, but I've heard they're also beautiful.

I've never been to Barbetta, but they've been in their townhouse location for 100 years, so they must be doing something right. My brother and his wife had an anniversary dinner there not long ago and said the food was very good. From the photos on their website, the private rooms look gorgeous.

If you want to go the American route, Keens has excellent food and unmatchable old New York ambiance, which is carried through in their private rooms. You can see photos on their website.

I need to find a restaurant in Manhattan for a 20-25 people party, but I would like a separate room any suggestions?

Keens has several private rooms all of which have wonderful ambiance. The Lily Langtry would be a perfect fit for your party.
