New Fine Dining. Stunning, Majestic Venue Eight steps up from the sidewalk on Park Avenue at 50th Street, across the famous Terrace at St. Bartholomew's Church, through the doors into what was the Great Hall of the church's Community House, and now you're inside a transformed, brand new space that includes a raised semi-private gallery dining area. Intricate Byzantine-like decorative stenciling, true to the immense room's original colors, motifs, and craftsmanship, have been painstakingly replicated on the soaring 30-foot ceiling, as well as on the walls, overhanging balcony, and border around the raised dining gallery that is lit by original Great Hall hanging fixtures. Simple, but elegant, 15-foot-high yellow and white stained glass windows remain as beautiful elements of the 86-year old room.
