It was a nice view and the service was great. Prices were a bit high but its expected considering its a nice restaurant. Food was good and drinks were good as well. Overall recommend!

This location has to offer promising views for sure! We did not have any entrees but the appetizer (charcuterie board) was very delicious with fresh fruit, good fresh cheese, lots of options on the board, and TASTY bread! Also, it was served to us very quick which we appreciated. Our waiter was welcoming but we did have to wait a while for our drinks and refills. I'm not sure if it was busy but there were other tables he waited on more than ours. We were walked by a couple of times by waiters with empty cups on our table and not asked if we were interested in anything else. Overall, it was probably just a night that wasn't their best but we would try it again to see if the next experience would a little better.

Incredible views of the valley paired with exquisite food and wine. Service was prompt and courteous and knowledgeable of menu options.

The view and ambience is great but the food and service not so much. I had salmon which was cooked too well and husband had steak which was unseasoned and fatty. The drinks came out warm. But the bread was good. Celebrated my 15th anniversary and the celebration complimentary dessert I saw others posting and helped with my decision to come here is clearly inconsistent. I had to request it and the waiter stated that the caramel was runny so she hadn't been able to write on them all night. So all that was brought out was a thrown together dessert. We spent a good amount of money here and did not feel valued at all. Oh and valet are tip hounds and chunked the keys after withholding them.

Check in was a little slow, and empty windowside tables were left open instead of seating us at a larger table. Drinks were well done, tuna cigars wonderful, tomato mozzarella salad was very good, and sea bass was delicious. Wonderful dessert of mousse cake was on the house for our anniversary. Server, Emma, professional, quick, no-nonsense but friendly, allowed us to enjoy our dinner without a rush. We got a lovely view of a lightning storm once the sun set; no issues with temperature within the restaurant- comfortable with no complaints. Noise was a little louder than I prefer but no trouble conversing at our table. All in all, food and ambiance are consistent with the higher end restaurant that once would expect. It'll be hard to not order the same items on a future visit but I'm sure there's more to be enjoyed.

Top of the Rock was an amazing experience! I celebrated my birthday here, and it was truly unforgettable. The views were breathtaking, and everything was organized so well from start to finish. Nicole really made sure we had the right professional help, which made the visit smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Top of the Rock for anyone visiting it's the perfect place for a special occasion or just to take in some of the best views of the city.

Their food was really good except for one. Their bread board at the beginning is really nice and good. The chicken and doughnut was my favorite of the entire time. Their salmon was well cooked and steak too. But the steak seems to always be a little overcooked. I asked medium rare and it came out med well. My friends ran into the same issues as well so maybe it's just the steak but everything else was rather pleasant. It fills up quickly but the noise level was still rather low.

First of all let me say the view was amazing! The food was delicious and fresh, and the service was very welcoming. The atmosphere made it an enjoyable dining experience—I'll definitely be coming back!

Amazing restaurant. We were there celebrating our sons 21st birthday and they were great. We got the best seat out on the patio with amazing views. The food and drinks were so good. Blueberry pineapple martini was so good. Our server was amazing and very attentive. We will be back for sure.

We were there during the latest dust storm. It was quite a sight to see. The food was excellent.

The ambience and views were absolutely stunning, but the overall dining experience left much to be desired. Service felt inconsistent—the Maitre ‘d came across as dismissive and disinterested, which set the wrong tone at the start. Thankfully, our server Emma was wonderful: attentive, personable, and spot-on with her recommendations. The food, however, didn't live up to the setting. While the sushi cigars impressed in flavor and presentation, the layering made them awkward to eat—one end was dominated by sauce while the other was simply tuna and caviar. The panko-crusted lamb chops were served rare and had to be sent back, taking nearly 20 minutes to be re-served. The miso sea bass, unfortunately, also fell short of expectations. What was most disappointing was the lack of acknowledgment of our anniversary, which had been noted in the reservation. Even a small gesture—whether in table selection or service—would have gone a long way in making the evening feel special. This is a restaurant with extraordinary potential given its location and reputation, but the experience suggested a team resting a bit too comfortably on that perch, rather than striving to deliver the level of care and consistency one expects here.

Everything was great about this restaurant except for the food. Flavors were very good, but my steak was very over cooked. I ordered a medium rare New York for almost $60. What I received was closer to well done. Almost no pink in the middle and very well done further out from the middle. With that said, the view and ambience are both amazing. I would definitely go back, I would just expect a steak of that price to be cooked close to the ordered temp.

We were there for our 30th anniversary, which I'd told them weeks before when I made the reservation. I requested a west facing table to view the sunset while we dined. My request was not honored. We got a nice booth with a north east view. We were by a door that led outside where people were dining in 107 degrees. The door was constantly open and it got quite warm where we were. The restaurant really needs ceiling fans. They kindly acknowledged our anniversary with a plate of different types of mini desserts and fruit. That was nice.If you're going to be spending what you'll be spending, the best time to dine there would be the winter. I'll bet they have portable heaters. They do not have misters.

They didn't let guests know the AC wasn't working properly and it was extremely warm inside the restaurant. It made us not as hungry unfortunately because we were sweating. Our waiter however was amazing and he was extremely attentive. Including the man in charge of refilling our waters. The moment he saw our glasses half full, he came over and filled the water, never spilling a drop!
