Unique spot but drinks were very overpriced on the roof top
Wow, that 6 oz cup of cup of lemonade was totally worth the $14. LOL. NYC…

They lost a star because the guac looks like store bought guac. Needs to make it authentic, or get rid of it.

Had a very odd experience here. I made a reservation a week in advance on resy. An hour before my reservation on the day of I get an email it was cancelled. I tried calling the establishment to which I was immediately hung up on multiple times. When I arrive at the rooftop, I am told by staff that they don’t take reservations and it was a glitch in the system I was able to make one. However, another staff member tells us we can’t get a table because they are fully booked up with reservations. Upon asking further, they have a print out of reservations for the night which my name was on for the original time I booked. Throughout the whole night different staff kept telling us different things, several of them being very rude, and it was overall very odd. Our actual server when we got settled at our table was very great! The rooftop has nice atmosphere so unfortunate they make it so hard to actually get there.
Overall, great place with beautiful views!
A little hard to get here as you need to have a hotel key or get someone from the front desk to swipe you in.
Drinks are limited but simple, which is a good thing. Service a little blunt.

Such a great location. But be warned — they have a ridiculous no-bags-policy.
Views were great, drinks were ok. For the price I'd rather drink at home.

Stopped in catch up with a group of friends. Atmosphere was nice! (lounge area, since it was too cold for rooftop) but drinks were a bit overpriced

READ THIS IF YOU PLAN ON HOSTING AN EVENT HERE: We were promised full, private access to the club room IN A CONTRACT and in writing, and they had members of the public throughout our entire space. The representative there could not have been less helpful in addressing the situation. AVOID. Unprofessional and nasty.

Fun rooftop, great food and drinks, except the Aperol Spritz which wasn't properly dosed.

One of the better spots in Manhattan. Always a great atmosphere. We were lucky enough to get Charlotte as well. Who couldn’t have been more accommodating to me and my family. A breath of fresh air. Highly recommend!

Came here on a Friday afternoon to get some work done, grabbed a seat across from the rooftop bar around 4pm. The bar staff were amazingly friendly and super quick with drinks.
However my low review comes from the way they kicked me out of my table. There were a bunch of people at tables around the rooftop and a part next to me grew from 3 when I arrived to over 8 people. Around 5pm the hostess came over and placed reserved signs on the empty tables. At about 515 she came over to the larger group next to me to inform them that they would be able to take the empty extra table and combine it since they had more people coming and it wasn’t reserved, however they need to close at the bar and order from the waitstaff - a total normal reasonable conversation.
At no point did she stop by my table or let me know that she would need it. Instead at about 530 a waiter (dressed in basketball shorts and a baggy ripped tshirt with a flannel around his waist and glasses) came over stopped in front of my table scoffed and said “the hostess will let you know when you need to leave. We have reservations.”
I fully understand NYC rooftops get busy - especially on one of the last nice Fridays. However his tone was very rude and annoyed as though I was staying past my welcome. There’s many many better ways to let someone know that the restaurant needs their table.
Ultimately put a bad taste in my mouth at the end of a pleasant afternoon.

We were in town for a wedding, and this was the place where they hosted a pre-wedding celebration. The atmosphere was exciting, and regardless of the large crowd, the servers did an amazing job. Everyone had such an amazing and memorable time.
