Pro's - nice vibe - good music - service ok - decent view Cons - watered down drinks - food hit n miss - feels chilly even inside - they serve drinks in plastic cups inside - they try to palm your deposit off as...bottle service only but you can actually have any food or drink with it as per purchase rightsMore

I checked the reviews before coming here and was hesitant to book but I’m so glad I didn’t listen because I had a great evening! My partner and I booked the igloo and had a set course with drinks. Our experience was pleasant and the...drink prices were great along with our waiter. The only problem with the igloo is that you can’t really see out of it so it’s not the best for a brilliant skyline. I would definitely come again though!More

The booking for Christmas Day dinner was supposed to be a treat. It was very poorly organised, all the options were in one long line so you were stuck in the line picking up food at the buffet and before you could get to the...end it was all cold, no hot option in the dessert section either. For the money we paid it was a disgrace, would have had better food at a fast food resteraunt. Messaged when I got back but heard nothing. Would not recommend at all , it sounded like a great experience on christmas Day whilst on holiday but sadly not.More

Lovely rooftop bar with some good views, a shame the cocktails were in plastic cups , also we were accused of our card transaction not going through for drinks when it actually did, I even showed the transaction had left my bank account , then...asked if we was Greg and the amount was $24 which that wasn’t our amount or name, made us feel uncomfortable with that. We wanted to use cash but was card payment t only, I have given 3 stars for the view but service and attitude is poorMore

Horrible management!! This rooftop has the worst managers i’ve ever encountered. My friends and I were assaulted a few times at this place and the managers didn’t care at all. They lied and said that they kicked out the people when they never did and...once I talked to another manager, she offered a 10% discount instead of a full refund like we deserved. It was so disrespectful.More

Strongly advise to book online early. We paid for the steak and fries option, with salad and dessert for $49. Very good value! Queue to get in was quite long but we skipped it as we had booked. Bit crammed in and had to wait...for 10mins for our table. Could do with more staff at peak times. View was amazing.More

Nice rooftop with a wonderful view of the Empire State. Beer selection wasn’t the biggest but I got a Goose Island IPA for $7. Cocktails are $18 most of them

This place has an amazing view of the Empire State. There were a lot of areas closed off for private parties, making the rest very crowded. Couldn't get a seat. But good for a quick visit for some photos.

Very very rude staff! There are many other nice roof top bars in New York I think this business forgets there are other competitors with good customer service, this establishment doesn’t even provide customer service. Spend your money and take your business elsewhere

We decided to go in our first night in NYC. We made a queue by 20 minutes. We paid 20 bucks for the entrance but it’s included a free drink. The vibes inside was amazing. And the view of NYC night invites to you to...have fun. Also, we ate some snacks but there was a bit expensive for the value. Honestly I didn’t expect all of the ambient in the roof top. Also, two hours after to go inside, we went to the party in the floor of the bar and the music was good. I didn’t expect too dance a Latin music in NYC. For sure, I recommend this place to have fun, enjoy the night by average price in NYC.More

Poor service. All the staff seemed as if they didn’t want to be there. On arrival the security man was abrupt, the waitress that we finally found to aid us with our booking was rude. The bartender was rude and lacked any customer service. (Bald...gentleman) persistently kept saying “what” every time he didn’t understand what we said as he wasn’t paying attention to us in the slightest. Every time he spoke with us he was looking in another direction and didn’t know whether he was speaking to you or not. By the time we sat down we really didn’t want to stay any further. But had to as we had already prepaid for our booking. DONT do that. Food was not too bad, view was average. Barricades are too high with blocking to see anything. Overall very disappointed with our experience.More

TLDR; Spend your money somewhere else, the service is terrible, the food is subpar and the environment is too crowded to actually enjoy. This place is purely focused on handling as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Enjoy one of the many other,...way friendlier places, NY has to offer. -------- We have never had such a terrible experience in any restaurant as we had here. We came to the rooftop to celebrate the 40th anniversary of my parents in-law. The man in charge of security downstairs couldn't have been more rude and impatient, being openly annoyed when you don't have your identification papers ready to present to him the minute you walk up. We had a prefixed dinner and the minute we sat down we already were presented with our salad - consisting of only salad, croutons and some cheese. By the time you order and receive your drinks you're already ready for your main course. 2 of our 4 steaks were overdone. We ordered medium and the steaks we received would make sufficient shoe beds. Initially the waiter said that 'this is how they cook their medium steaks' - which deserves a comedy show on its own. After receiving two new steaks, again one steak was subpar. The waiter asked us if everything was okay and we voiced our discontent. By that time our two other eaters were almost done and we didn't want to wait again as otherwise we would have one person eating by themselves. Our waiter said he did all he could and he was sorry, but he didn't offer us anything to compensate, e.g. discount on the bill, complementary drinks or anything (he never asked us anytime if we wanted any more drinks after the first time). By that time we've had enough and decided to not wait for the dessert and asked the bill. Our waiter also made a remark about the tip being too low - which in hindsight is hysterical but at that time rubbed completely the wrong way. Btw: our neigbours were celebrating an anniversary as well and ordered a $125 cake. The staff came and sang a 'happy birthday song'. It's clear the staff doesn't pay any attention to their guests. They also left after eating 2 bites as clearly the cake didn't live up to the (expensive) expectations.More

It’s a bar so I doubt it. They checked our passports before we were allowed in.

We are 50ish and felt old. Lots of steps if you want outside but a lift to the inside area. I think there would be better places for New Year’s Eve but don’t know the area
