We went there for the rooftop experience and it is pretty - completely empty on a Sat at 1PM. High tops w modern backless chairs very uncomfortable but there are regular side tables. Our waitress was very nice and attentive- well, we were her only customers. The menu was very limited - mostly sliders and pizza. Extremely disappointing. We didn't have the pizza. It was very expensive, mostly due to the drinks. I do think management can improve the food very easily. I would return knowing what I know now but for a drink and the rooftop and during warmer weather.

This was my first time coming to this location,. Parking off street was easy to find so I opted out for the Valet. Upon arrival the host seated us and almost immediately my server Cara was pleasant and after hearing it was my first time she gave me the option to sit outside even though our reservations were for an indoor event. Ordered martinis ,draft beer, the sliders and fries . The aioli was so good I had to get extra to put on my burgers! Everything was prompt, correct and Cara was very attentive . Will be coming back with friends for drinks and the ambience. Definitely good vibes and that's speaking from a foodie and person in the business. Great job guys

The view was beautiful. Sadly the service was very slow and we had to ask multiple times for even the most basic amenities. A knife for example.

Hostess and staff were not synchronous, staff questioned us 3x for seating when they are the ones that sat us, do not recommend unless you want a view.

Atmosphere and aesthetics were great. Good drinks. Attentive staff however, room for improvement on food offering as well as execution. The pizza was slightly undercooked , Cesar salad was good . Sliders and fries were standard.

We were unfortunately not able to dine here. After being seated, we waited over 10 minutes without any staff greeting us, providing water on a hot day, or even acknowledging our table. We eventually walked out. Disappointing experience, especially since we were looking forward to trying the restaurant.

It was a perfect day to sit on the roof in the sun. Many seating options to choose from (high tops, bench seating, low chairs around cocktail tables, etc.) We shared the bruschetta and it was really tasty.

Felicia

Our server was awesome! Very helpful, precise with the food/drink description! She was also attentive to us during our stay!

Had a great time here and my experience was different from the majority 3 star reviews. Our waitress was awesome and attentive, it also seemed that everyone else’s table was quickly waited on by other staff as well. The views were 10/10 with a cozy vibe chilling on couch tables around the perimeter of the outside sitting deck. Food was the quality you’d find at any other sports bar like place, it’s good, not great and not bad just good. We’ll be going back again for sure!

Beautiful rooftop bar with nice ambience. Make reservations - the inside is very loud and does not have the view or ambience of the outside bar. Fabulous views of moon and NYC skyline

Terrible, Snotty, and elitist. They had ample reservations on open table but since we only wanted a drink I was considerate and didn't make a dinner reservation. FYI At 7 pm they no longer accept open table reservations for sat eve probably to avoid people telling them they have so many reservations available- it would ruin their self important selective process of whom they deem worthy of sitting on their outdoor deck. Showed up to an empty restaurant both inside and on the rooftop deck and was told there was an hour and a half wait to sit outside. Mind you no one was waiting. They simply pick and choose who they deem worthy of being allowed on their rooftop deck. Shame on you! We instead went to Faubourg and sat in their cocktail area outdoors and it was lovely! (fyi no reservation needed). Save yourself the trouble of being discriminated against and go to Faubourg!
Update: much appreciation to the food and beverage manager Vince for reaching out and making it right. we had a lovely night on their rooftop patio. Drinks were fantastic, which is what we had originally wanted to go for… food was subpar, like typical bar food. Worth going for drinks, but make a reservation!

The views are breathtaking, and the staff is incredibly friendly and courteous. A special shoutout to Tori, who made our evening truly memorable. The pizza rosa and fries are simply spectacular! Thank you, Splendid Rooftop, we'll definitely be back! :)
