Corporate dinners often walk a fine line. You want colleagues to relax and talk without the rigid structure of a boardroom, but you also need enough polish to signal that the evening matters. We built The Ivory Peacock with that balance in mind. Our dual level Corporate Dinner venue gives your Chelsea team room to gather around a seated meal while still feeling like they’re part of something less formal than a typical corporate dinner.
How Our Chelsea Venue Design Fosters Connection During Corporate Dinners
Corporate dinners feel more connected at The Ivory Peacock because the venue doesn’t trap your team at their assigned seats. Our four bars, multiple seating areas, and spaces designed for movement give colleagues reasons to arrive early, talk between courses, and linger after dessert.
Our Spaces
The Main Bar gives your team a natural gathering point when they arrive. With its antique chandeliers and Louis XV giltwood mirrors, it seats 60 or holds 100 standing. Colleagues can claim a spot at the velvet seating, order a cocktail, and ease into the evening before sitting down for dinner.
The Emerald Bar, a semi circular marble bar that seats 22, offers a more intimate arrival option. The curtained off space provides privacy without isolation, and the bespoke gin and tonic service becomes an instant conversation starter.
Seated Configurations
We host corporate dinners based on your group size. The Main Floor holds 110 seated, or 140 seated when you combine the Emerald Bar, Main Bar, and The Perches. The velvet seating, historic windows, and architectural details create an atmosphere that feels designed, not temporary.
If your team needs full privacy, Ploume downstairs seats 60. This hidden speakeasy style lounge on our lower level blends sophistication with intimacy. When you book Ploume for a corporate dinner, your team gets a private room that feels exclusive without feeling isolated.
French and Japanese Cuisine
We serve French and Japanese inspired shareable plates and raw bar selections designed to balance bold flavors with comforting familiarity. Our ocean inspired culinary program includes full meal style platters arranged in tiered menu options. The menus are bespoke, built around your team’s preferences and the evening’s timeline.
Everything is designed to complement cocktails, which means the food enhances the conversation rather than overwhelming it. The portions encourage sharing, and the balance between familiar and adventurous gives everyone at the table something to engage with.
What’s Included With Your Corporate Dinner
When you book a corporate dinner at The Ivory Peacock, you’re working with our in house bar for all beverage service. We provide climate controlled spaces, restrooms in multiple locations, and the flexibility to use one bar or all four, depending on your guest count.
We offer tiered food menu options designed to complement cocktail selections, and we can arrange passed hors d’oeuvres for the arrival period. If your team wants the full building, we offer a buyout that gives you access to every space from the Main Bar down to Ploume.
Conclusion
If you’re planning a corporate dinner in Chelsea and want your team to feel genuinely connected rather than just seated together, The Ivory Peacock in NYC offers the space, service, and atmosphere to make that happen. Our four bars, French and Japanese cuisine, and flexible seating give your colleagues room to gather, explore, and engage with each other throughout the evening.
