Duvet is the brainchild of owner Sabina Belkin, a passionate young restaurateur and nightlife impresario. Designed by Andres Escobar (Cartier Boutique and Guess? store in Toronto) and Edward Belkin, Duvet features 30 customized "dining beds," soft satin banquettes, frosted glass bars and seven intimate "bedrooms" that are available for the sexiest, most-talked about private parties. Upon entering Duvet, patrons will at once find themselves amazed at the sheer size (over 20,000 square feet) and elegance of the space. Behind the Ice Bar is a striking 8x15-foot aquarium that houses over 100 exotic jellyfish. The main dining room houses 30 very large custom beds. Silky curtains frame the beds and discreetly placed drawers are available to stash shoes and purses. Ladies should be sure not to miss the Friday & Saturday early shows from 9PM-11PM, featuring... HUNKMANIA NYC MALE STRIPPERS.

We came here yesterday for Valentine's Day. This has to be the most beautiful and elegant place in NY. As we walked in, there were people greeting us. The were so curteous and friendly. As we were walking in our jaws dropped. They had beautiful colored lights of red and pink. The beds, tables, bar, and stairs were all decorated with rose petals and candels. It was so romantic. As the hostess sat us the servers came to us right away. We had such wonderful service. We had so many people waiting on us. They also were so extremely friendly. Then came the food. I never tasted such delicious food in my life. It was four courses and each course was better than the other. For the amuse we had this amazing passionfruit ceviche. It was so yummy. Then they gave us sorbet to cleans the pallet. Then for the appetizer we had seared hamachi, which was so fresh. After we had beef tenderloin and the beef was cooked perfectly. For dessert we had lovebed for 2 and chocolate covered strawberries. It was to-die-for. I have not seen such a smooth operation before especially on Valentine's Day. I am a chef and i know how crazy this night could be, but i really give it up to the chef and the place. Duvet really is a four or five star restaurant. I will without a doubt come back for dinner many more times.

Wow, I have never been to such a horrible place. My friends and I decided to go there for NYE-they were selling tickets and said it was going to not be a crowded event. First of all the let the line wrap around the block and for no good reason since all tickets were pre-purchased. Then, when we did get in, there was only one bar for the droves of people that were let into this place. It took over an hour to get a horribly watered down drink. Then they said there was food...where??? Oh, and there were no duvets at Duvet. Just fithly beds that people were jumping on like they were six years old instead of adults. I have been to many places in NYC, this is by far the worst. I will never go back!
Pros: none
Cons: horrible service, overcrowded

Even after reading all the negative reviews, my friends and I went to Duvet for New Years Eve. For the 8 of us, we paid $2400 that included a reserved bed, open bar, "lots of food," and a bottle of champagne and a bottle of vodka. Sounds like a good deal, right? We asked our waitress to bring the bottles of champagne and vodka but she told us that we had to pay gratuity up front (a minimum of $50 per bottle.) We thought it was strange, but we tipped her way over the minimum which was a mistake. After she served us the two bottles (twenty minutes after we asked), we never saw her again. Sadly we had to fight the bar crowd to get more drinks--they even ran out of champagne. On top of that, we got one tiny tray of food that consisted of individual tostitos with salsa. Not exactly what I thought we had paid for.
Nonetheless, we had fun and made the best of it. Towards the end of the night, a few people not from our party were sitting on our reserved bed. A few of them asked to rest their feet for a minute, and we didn't care. Two others sat on our bed for awhile and we kindly asked them to leave because it was our bed and we didn't have much room to spare (we were dancing on the bed.) They got hostile with us and we called security over who did nothing. In fact, security was incredibly rude and disorganized--they literally yelled in my face because I said I wanted to talk to a manager. Basically, our very expensive night ended when one of the uninvited girls scratched and bloodied my friend's face (I am not kidding.)
Moral of the story, don't go there unless you want to pay a lot of money for poor service, trashy patrons, and crappy security. I wish I had heeded the warnings of these reviews. I will not be going back to Duvet. There are plenty of better places in New York where you can get your money's worth.
Pros: The beds are pretty cool
Cons: Terrible service and security; very expensive and not worth the money

What a poor choice to visit this spot for New Years Eve. Duvet promised much but delivered very little. To begin, doors were supposed to open at 8pm. My date and I arrived at 745pm hoping to be one of the first to enter but found ourselves waiting until 840pm before they club even opened the doors. For 55 minutes, we watched the club staff arrive at leisure, have Chinese food delivered, set up the lines, figure out their scanning devices and issue conflicting instructions. The staff had little compassion for the 100+ people waiting outside in the cold. Inside, the staff was utterly ill prepared to service the amount of people inside at the bar. There were only 4 bartenders- (1 for each corner of the bar). So the highly touted open bar simply meant that you would get 1 or 2 free drinks. The DJ must have just popped in a cd and pressed continuous play because we heard the same songs again and again. Finally, the club advertised an assortment of foods being offered to the guests. A few staff members came by with some cheap snacks but even that was short lived-lasting no more than an hour or two. In short, it was a waste of time and money and I will forever remember 2007 New Years Eve as a total bust. Thanks to Duvet. Stay away from this place. Stay far, far away.
Pros: Jelly Fish
Cons: Everything else
Posted 01/02/08
New Years was aweful.
1. $140.00 ticket let you wait outside for 30mins in stilletos
2. Too crowded at the bar.
3. No where to sit unless you reserved a bed. If you did want to sit you had to ask permission
4. DJ SUCKED!!! cuts lasted 30secs and he played songs over again every 45mins.
5. When you finally got to sit down on a bed usually it was alcohol soaked. The smell of a wet bed is disgusting.
I mean....it's a club. You get a better DJ and on a less crowded night im pretty sure you can have fun.
Pros: It's a new york hot spot
Cons: crappy dj
Posted 01/01/08
Do yourself a favor and dont use credit or debit card here. Apparently its too dark for ditsy bartenders to see what they are doing. OR they are forging my name and charging things to my account. I ordered 2 whiskey sours, theres a 2 drink minimum for cards (Which came to 24.00 total) When I got home and looked at my bank statement online. They withdrew 2 payments of 100.00!!!! Yo! $200!? Then I decided to look at what they charged me last Friday, and it was 56.00!! I ordered 2 drinks that came out to 26.00. I am never going there again. IF thats how they make their money, they can go to hell. There wasnt even charges for the real amounts anywhere from them. They better find my receipts and reimburse me.
Pros: The atmosphere is cool and the beds are awesome.
Cons: Retards who charged me an extra 200 dollars for my drinks on my debit card.

I've been to this club several times and everytime I have a great time. I love Duvet! It is so big and beautiful. I love that it is white. It makes you feel like you are no in NY and not a typical NY club. The beds are a nice touch. This place definitely stands out from the other clubs. The bathrooms are cool too. I love the jelly fish tank. It is so soothing to watch them. I ca nwatch them all day long.
Pros: ambiance, bathroom, jelly fish tank
Cons: none

I love this place. We came here last night for the Halloween party and it was incredible. The crowd was beautiful. Very high-end people. Everyone was dancing and drinking. It was so packed. There were so many people. The music was great! I really truly love this place. We have been here a few times and everytime have a great time. It is definitely a one-of-a-kind place.
Pros: amtosphere, music, lights, jelly fish tank
Cons: none

We had the best time of our lives. Duvet is the hottest, most beautiful club in NY. I have been to all the best and hottest clubs and never have I seen one like this. I loved it. The music was great, the vibe was awesome, and club is unbelievable. We bought lots of bottles and were on the beds all night. We enjoyed every minute we were in Duvet. I can't wait to come back. For sure this is my spot!!!!!!
Pros: atmosphere, music, ambiance, bathrooms
Cons: none

We came here the other night on a Saturday and it was sick!!!!!!!! We had so much fun. The dj is great, the place is HOT!!!, and we absolutely loved it. The place is so big and white and clean. It was packed. The "ice bar" is incredible. I have never seen anything like it. The jelly fish tank is so beautiful. It is very soothing and relaxing. Everything is light up in different colors. One area is green, another purple, another red, it's so nice. What i really loved were the bathrooms. They are so cool. They are unisex and there are one-way mirrors that you can see out of, but nobody can see you when your inside. The wine cellar is in the bathroom, sort of. I love this place!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to go back!
Pros: music, decor, atmosphere
Cons: none

Most likely many people had high expectations for this nightclub. I had I great time but not because of the scene or hospitality. Its a club! I danced all night, no one was "stuck up". We did have a bed and did not see a waitress all night, we were getting our own drinks from the bar. The bartender was hot and welcoming (the short one wearing all black, with black hair). Women out numbered the men by 3 or 4 so thats a plus. My only complaint is that they water the drinks down and they are very expensive. Cranberry and vodka = $10, but it taste like cranberry and cranberry. Overall the club scene was hot but i could carless if the manager is nice or not, I dont go to clubs to see whether or not the staff is nice, I go to dance, drink and pick up women. I accomplished all three..
Pros: Alot of women
Cons: expensive drinks, DJ spun the same songs a few times
Posted 08/15/07
We came last Saturday night for the nightclub and we had a BLAST! We got a bed and bought bottles. They had an Ed Hardy Lingerie Fashion Show and it was incredible. The girls were HOT and they had great lingerie give-aways. It was so much fun. The music was great and the place was gorgeous. We for sure are coming back soon!!!
Pros: decor, music, space, beds
Cons: none

Went last night, Friday, for a buddy's birthday party. As all stated, beautiful layout inside with the fishtanks and the beds and the funky bathroom downstairs, but there was no 'energy' in the place. The DJ played a great mix of music... but each song cut lasted 20 seconds!!!! A great song came on, everyone started to dance, the girls got into it, then it changed on us every time! The prices were average, 7 for a beer 12 for a drink... and the funniest thing, the beverage promotion (free t-shirts, etc) going on that night was for Perrier... bottled water in a bar...? Didn't understand that. I would go back only if I had to, not because I'd want to. I think the owners should close shop, regroup, and reopen with a new theme... bring back some new 'energy'.
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: no energy/vibe
Posted 07/14/07
We came here last weekend and the place is HOT! We had so much fun. The decor is absolutely beautful. The staff is very friendly. They have these crazy lights. The bar is stunning. They jelly fish tank is great. We loved every minute of it. There were so many people here and everyone was partying away. We will definitely be back. Better save a bed for us!!!!!!
Pros: decor, music, space, beds

Me and a bunch of my friends went to Duvet on Saturday night. We had such a blast. Now I know why everyone is talking about this club. It is so HOT!!!!! The music was great. The people were hot and the decor was amazing. I have never seen anything like it before and the ice bar is one-of-a-kind. It is the most beautiful thing. We had such a great time. We for sure will be coming back and very soon!!!!!!!!
Pros: EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: none

We had a bunch of friends go to Duvet last night. The atmosphere is unique and sitting on the beds for dinner is an experience. The food is eclectic and the scenery is nice. The service was questionable - we had a waitress that was quite rude and unprofessional. Duvet is a nice place to experience once but we were turned off by our waitress.
Posted 06/03/07
Duvet is a really HOT club. It feels like you are not even in NY. It is so big and white; very refreshing. Its was so packed. The girls were hot and the guys were spending. What a real club is like. The music was great. The DJ played a litte bit of everything. Everyone was dancing, having a good time, drinking; it was so hot. I love Duvet!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: scene, music, ambiance
Cons: none
Posted 05/24/07

So I went to Duvet for dinner tonight and it was such a great experience! I was greated right way by a beautiful hostess and when I walked in the room it was really pretty. Sitting on the beds while eating was really different but fun for a change. the food was the best part about it , everyone was nice!
Pros: GREAT food, attractive staff, decor
Cons: kind of expensive
Posted 04/27/07
It was 10 of us for dinner last night. The service and food were absolutely incredible. We really enjoyed ourselves. The waiters kept on checking on us making sure we were ok. The staff were so unbelievable friendly. The sushi was great. The designs were really great as well. The cocktails were spectacular. It's so nice to see the jelly fish tank. I've never seen anything like it. The bar was gorgeous; really really beautiful. We will defintely be returning to this incredible place.
Pros: food, service, ambiance
Cons: none

Right off the bat me and my friends were greeted by three really pretty girls. They told us we might not get a bed cuz it was crowded, but they were really nice about it and ended up getting us a bed anyways. The food was really good. I ordered the wild mushroom risotto... in one word... amazing. The service was ok, nothing special. They got us our food on time but did not check on us often. The decorations are awesome. Everything looks really trendy, and the bartenders are HOT... Really really hot. Bathrooms are cool, but kinda smell. The two-way mirror on the bathroom stalls is cool but its awkward when you see someone looking at themselves (looks like they are look straight at you) when you are doing your thing. Overall, I would go back to try some more stuff from their menu. We all shared our food, and everything was really good. Props to the chef!
Pros: Great food, nice setting, very attractive staff
Cons: Smelly bathroom
Posted 04/24/07

My boyfriend and I went to Duvet for dinner and planned to meet our friends later when it turned into a night club. What a great idea that was! So we heard all the hype about how awesome the decor was and the rumors are completely true. The atmosphere was incredible and set the mood for a wonderful romantic evening and them turned into a night of fun when our friends arrived. We had a great time and can't wait to experience Duvet's great ambiance again!
Pros: food DECOR music service
Posted 04/14/07

Pros: service, food, decor
Posted 04/14/07
I think it is absolutely hysterically all the haters writing bad reviews. The only reason they write these reviews is because they are so unattracive that they couldn't get in (this is an obvious fact). We came here to celebrate my birthday this past weekend. We were a party of 10 people. We have an amazing time. The food was incredible and delicious. The staff was so friendly and nice. We loved eating on the beds. Afterwards we bought bottles and stayed for the nightclub. The club was hopping. It was crazy packed and everyone was having a great time. The music was hot. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end. We did not have any problems at all. We did not want to leave. We will definitely 1000% be coming back to this hot spot for sure!!!!!!
Pros: food, decor, ambiance, music

I've been clubbing in nyc for 4 years, and I've never seen people treated like such dirt by the staff and bouncers...
Worst club experience I've ever had.
Pros: Decent setup inside. Not too crowded. People are dressed well.
Cons: The staff and bouncers that work at this place have to be the rudest people on Earth.
Posted 03/18/07
Duvet had great decor/atmosphere, however prices were high for a four ounce drink they served. There was a $30 cover that night for those who were anything but caucasian. We have been to many places in NYC that charge EVERYONE in line a cover...but tonight we saw people just walk in after showing their IDs and not asked to pay. If it wasn't so blatant, it wouldn't have mattered.
The great atmosphere and decor do no make up for the lack of respect to shown to people of other nationalities who come to a place like Duvet for a good time.
Pros: Atomsphere
Cons: Napoleon Complex given by a place like this
Posted 03/18/07
Duvet is the most beautiful Restaurant/Club in NY. We came to eat dinner and it was absolutely delicious. The service was superb. We were so happy. After we stayed for the nightclub. We had such a blast. It was packed and we had so much fun. The music was great. There was a very fun and cool vibe. The jelly fish tank was HOT! The lights were crazy. One area was one color and a different are was another color. It was so gorgeous. You can not find a resaurant that is a hot club or a club that is a good restaurant with good food and Duvet definitely is that! I love this place!!!!!!!!!
Pros: food, club, music
Cons: none
Posted 03/09/07
Duvet is an amazing restaurant/lounge!
we went out for dinner and the layout, food and service was awesome. Very beautiful place and friendly staff.
The manager was extremely nice and made sure everything was okey.
Fantastic experience, will go back and highly recommend.
Pros: manager, service

We had an absolutely terrible experience at this place. They don't care at all about the customers, the bouncers are rude, the bartenders even more rude, and you will get overcharged on everything! The place iteslf is not that great either.
Regular price to get in is $30. If you are on a GUESTLIST that promises Comp admission before a certain time, expect to pay at least $20, as they DO NOT HONOR ANY GUESTLISTS. They basically trick people into thinking that they are going in for free (before 11:30), and then after you wait in line for 20 minutes and get to the door, they tell you that it will be $20 regardless of guestlist status. What's worse is they even made the GIRLS pay $20 each!!! Thats unbelievable! 99% of places will Comp girls for free admission before 12:00. We were on 2 different guestlists promissing free admission for girls, and they refused to honor them both!
Bartenders are the rudest that I've seen. Horrible bar experience. It took the bartender 10 minutes to pour 7 shots for us, then when we asked (very politely) about our drinks, the female bartender came over and YELLED at us and patronized us asking, "Are you guys in a hurry? Do you have a meeting to go to?" Later in the night, after ordering 10 drinks, I asked the bartender to also please give me just a glass of ice water for one of the girls. They told me that they are not allowed to pour a glass of tap water, and that I have to buy an 8 ounce bottle that costs 6 dollars. On top of that, after I closed out my tab ($40 minimum), they charged me another 20% additional gratuity for their horrible service. This place tries very hard to nickel-and-dime you at every chance they get.
The dancefloor wasn't bad, but not great either. At no point in the night did it get crowded enough to set a good mood, and the DJ played a weird mix of tribal/techno/pop that nobody was dancing to.
Overall, we were greatly dissapointed with this place, and we all wished that we went somewhere else.
Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: Terrible Service: Pushy Bouncers, Lying About Guestlists, Overpriced Drinks, Slow Bar, Rude Staff, Nickel-and-Diming.

Went here past friday with some frds for a party. While the decor and vibe of the place aint bad the bartenders here are horrible. Ordered patron shots but they had none?! ordered grey goose instead and got absolut vanilla or something along those lines bc it was sweet as heck. when we confronted the bar girl shes all no its grey goose. aside frm the fact that she didnt pour it in front of us i mean u can obviously smell the sweetness frm the glass. we argued and then got the manager who of course backed up the bar girl and siad it was grey goose. funny how when we asked for other peoples opinion everyone else smelled vanilla frm the glasses. then to top it off they automatically added 20% tip to the bill which we didnt realize so basically they got 20% PLUS the tip we gave them for drks that were wrong. and this was for 2 peoples drks?!!!? wht a waste of money. Another group of frds got a bottle of grey goose was given belvedere orange flavored saying they ran out of goose??? Cmon! With some many clubs and bars out there in NY, dont waste ur time or $ on this one.
Pros: Decor, interesting bathrooms
Cons: Bad management, bad bartenders, slow coatcheck

Wow! after coming to Duvet last weekend we had such a wonderful. I love this place. It is huge, gorgeous, beautiful, and i can keep on going. The vibe was great and the music was great. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. The place was packed. We got bottle service, so it was definitely easier. We were so happy and will definitely will be returning.
Pros: ambiance, music, beautiful atmosphere, bathrooms, jelly fish tank

Went to Duvet last night for a romantic dinner. Things started out nicely...appetizers were tasty and the atmosphere unique. However, as soon as we finished our appetizers, our entrees were brought out. We thought this was strange; like we were being rushed out. I had the bluefin tuna which was delicious. My fiance had the duck which was good, but included pancetta in it (not stated in the menu). I think that bacon is an ingredient that should be noted on the menu since some people do not eat pork. Anyway, we decide to have another drink before dessert. The drinks come, but so does the check. We ignore the check and continue talking and enjoying our drinks when the manager comes over 5 mins later and rudely informs us that we have exceeded their hour and 45 minute time limit and we have to leave. Mind you we have unfinished drinks sitting there and hadn't even ordered our dessert. And people who were there before us were still on the beds. The waitress should have informed us that our time was up when we ordered the drinks, but I guess they wanted that extra money out of us. Needless to say, after the manager's rudeness, we lost our appetite. The place was not that busy so I didn't understand what the issue was except maybe that we were a couple and he wanted to get a bigger group on the bed if they walked in. But we're spending $$$ too and if they are going to treat couples differently then they should have a minimum person requirement for the beds. Also they should have their 1 hour and 45 min policy reiterated when making a reservation. [According to a Duvet employee (who shall remain nameless since I don't want them to be reprimanded), this policy is rarely enforced]. So in short, Duvet has a lot to learn about customer service and should consistently enforce policies whether its 2 people on a bed or 4. To make us feel like we were being kicked out after spending quite a bit of money, left a bad taste in our mouths and we will not be returning.
Pros: Unique ambiance; decent food; bathrooms
Cons: Over-priced; inconsistent policies; rude manager

I took my boyfriend to Duvet for Valentine's Day. The food was absolutely exquisite and the service was truly perfect. We loved every minute of it. I am a food critic and I could not even say one bad thing. The food was brought out in a timely manner and looked beautiful. We had four courses for dinner and each course was better than the other. The servers really paid great attention to us. The chef really knew what he was doing. I could not have picked a more perfect restaurant for Valentine's Day. We will 100% be returning; we still have the taste of all that yummy and delicious food.
Pros: food, service, food, service

I took my girlfriend to Duvet for Valentine's and we had such a great time. They really made it very special for us. They made it so easy for me because i didn't have to plan anything. They had flowers and candles; it was the perfect touch. The food was awesome. We loved every bite we ate. She really loved everything. I am so glad that we came here. Thanks Dvuet for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We came here yesterday for Valentine's Day. This has to be the most beautiful and elegant place in NY. As we walked in, there were people greeting us. The were so curteous and friendly. As we were walking in our jaws dropped. They had beautiful colored lights of red and pink. The beds, tables, bar, and stairs were all decorated with rose petals and candels. It was so romantic. As the hostess sat us the servers came to us right away. We had such wonderful service. We had so many people waiting on us. They also were so extremely friendly. Then came the food. I never tasted such delicious food in my life. It was four courses and each course was better than the other. For the amuse we had this amazing passionfruit ceviche. It was so yummy. Then they gave us sorbet to cleans the pallet. Then for the appetizer we had seared hamachi, which was so fresh. After we had beef tenderloin and the beef was cooked perfectly. For dessert we had lovebed for 2 and chocolate covered strawberries. It was to-die-for. I have not seen such a smooth operation before especially on Valentine's Day. I am a chef and i know how crazy this night could be, but i really give it up to the chef and the place. Duvet really is a four or five star restaurant. I will without a doubt come back for dinner many more times.
Pros: food, service, atmosphere
Cons: none

I just moved to NYC from NJ, and I can confidently say that Duvet is more Jersey than any club in Jersey. After paying the ridiculous cover because a friend in my group insisted on going here on a Sat night, we walked into an area where these short guys wearing sunglasses and wife-beaters were standing on the beds and staring at us. Not a great first impression. Also it was really packed and the music was terrible - a mix of 80s and techno/dance. I would not go here again.

Went here for dinner the other night at around 8pm (Thursday). Place was fairly quiet but there seemed to be a decent bar crowd gathering which dissolved around an hour later. The food was above average, I had the scallop appetizer, duck main and creme brulee dessert. All were very delicious, except, my only qualm was there was too much salt on the vegies. My friend found that as well. It was also slightly uncomfortable trying to consume our food with bent back on the large bed. Very novel but not the easiet thing to do. I wouldve rathered receive a small raised table to set my food on in front of me. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the evening, meal, service, and, people watching. I'm not sure what the place is like when it's packed. Duvet's worth a ganza.
Pros: Unique
