The views were absolutely amazing. Service was outstanding. And food was delicious. Drinks were great too! Definitely would love to come back for another date night. We had a great time celebrating our anniversary here!

The views of New York City are undeniably stunning, but the service left much to be desired. Our server was inattentive—I waited over 30 minutes for a cocktail, didn’t receive silverware until after the food had gone cold, and had to repeatedly flag someone down despite the restaurant not being busy. On the bright side, the oysters were very fresh, and while some appetizers felt a bit mismatched, they were decent. The lamb chops with garlic mashed potatoes were absolutely outstanding. Unfortunately, the short rib polenta was a major letdown—completely lacking in seasoning and flavor. In the end, it feels clear that what you’re really paying for here is the incredible view, rather than the overall dining experience.

This place was absolutely gorgeous. The energy, vibe, ambiance was great. Came at the end of brunch so ordered mimosa flights. They were so good. The food and the view was also amazing. Was really a chill time and the service was definitely A1. The server wasn't doing to much. This place also has outdoor seating but it was just too windy to be outside. The old fashioned tasted just right and grabbed the steak and egg combo, which did not disappoint. I want to come back for dinner and try the dinner menu. Yes, the food varies depending on what time of day you come but I enjoyed the brunch menu. If you can find parking, good luck. I just parked in the paid parking next to it.

We went in for happy hour and we were welcomed by a very kind hostess. Then Imaan attended to us at our table and she was so nice and kind. She was so much fun and treated us like we were family. She made the atmosphere even more relaxing and enjoyable. The food was lovely but her service made the experience so great that we want to come back just to be in her company. She was wonderful.

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Venus, and I can honestly say she is one of the best bartenders I have ever encountered. Her professionalism, warm personality, and top-notch customer service made my time at the bar truly memorable. Venus goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, and her attention to detail in both drinks and hospitality is unmatched. She not only serves with skill, but with genuine care, creating an atmosphere that feels both friendly and refined.

Thank you, Venus, for your kindness, professionalism, and the wonderful experience you provided. You’re truly an asset behind the bar!
