The host was very accommodating - we arrived an hour before our reservations. Sushi was delicious and wait staff were friendly and helpful!

Horrific experience. The host was condescending and beyond unprofessional. His comments were outright rude when asked for a WiFi that was not working he said “I’m not in charge of Apple”. There are two waitresses for the entire place so the food and drinks take a very very long time to come out. The waitress's work very hard and are really nice but unfortunately they just cannot handle the amount of people and the place is very understaffed. We came 25 minutes before our reservation and were seated. Our reservation was for 5:30 and we sat at 4:40. It took a long time to get two glasses of wine and by the time three rolls of sushi came it was approximately 5:30. At 6:08 on the dot the host with a disgusting attitude asked us to leave as he has a next reservation coming at 6:30. We were shocked as we were still waiting for an appetizer we ordered and wine. We said ok then cancel our food which he proceeded to do and gave us a check for 250$ not including the tip. We left the place hungry looking for a restaurant to sit down and eat in and have a glass of wine. The experience was extremely unpleasant and border line degrading. I spoke to the host and he said fine if you want to stay stay but I refuse to spend my money in a place that treats its patrons in such a disgraceful way. I spoke to a manager and am waiting for the response of a general manager. The host is an embarrassment to the bar and we will never ever patron this place again. It is a holiday time and there are a lot of tourists around. I truly hope that people that are not New Yorkers do not judge NY based on this place and the service of the host.

Nice place. Drinks were good but not strong. Waitstaff great. Only issue is we found a live bug in the menu. They do not offer happy hour.

Drinks and atmosphere were wonderful. Our server was very sweet but it did however take 30 minutes to receive our drinks in a mostly empty lounge as we were there right at opening time.
Bar menu isn't great. We had edamame and fries. The fries were like McDonalds fries. Edamame was fine but neither are worth the price. Drinks were well crafted but tiny. Two sips and you need another cocktail. Servers were excellent, space is cool but wouldn't return by choice.
Drinks were fine but overpriced. Atmosphere is cool. Disappointed by the food choices. Overpriced French fries that were basically school cafeteria quality. For the price you pay, I expected more.
Met with a friend for drinks with my 6 years twins they were very accommodating it was around 5:30 pm
I always forget how dark this place is, but they must be doing something right because it was busy on a Tuesday late afternoon.

Great place to enjoy drinks. But for a non alcoholic drink $15 is way too much. Otherwise i do recommend it.

The food (only bar bites available) was delicious, though the selection was very limited. We dined there at 7:30pm on the Thursday after Christmas, and the holiday drink special was already sold out.
Cool vibe big open high arches

Nice spot in the Bryant Park hotel. Met my friend for a drink or two. We had a nice table and were able to have a conversation. Music not too loud and very nice atmosphere. Not quite intimate because it is kind of an open space but still would recommend.

Terrible service. My partner and I sat the bar, were wordlessly served water, and tried making eye contact with the two bartenders standing right in front of us to place an order. After being ignored for 20 minutes, we left. Especially as the only people of color in the bar, this was an extremely disappointing experience.
