It was our first time at Jupiter, dining as a party of four. The vibe was definitely upscale, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer — very friendly and attentive throughout.
I ordered the ravioli pasta, a Dangerous Summer cocktail, the potato fries as a side, and tiramisu for dessert. The food was delicious across the board, beautifully presented, and everything came out quickly. The portions were smaller than I expected, but the flavors made up for it.
Prices are on the steep side, so I’d keep that in mind, but overall the experience was excellent. I’d recommend Jupiter to anyone looking for great food and service in an upscale setting.

A group of four in our party for lunch on a summer afternoon in the air conditioned dining room with a view of Rockefeller Plaza had a wonderful lunch experience.
Our guest ordered the Caesar Salad with Chicken and said it was the best salad she'd ever had in her life. She's 73!
I had the summer salad for a start and then the linguine and clams and loved every bite.
My husband had Pappardelle pasta and finished it before I blinked.
Service is a little thin, but when the server was present she was excellent. They do run in and out to take care of customers seated outdoors in the ice rink during summer months, so it does keep them busy.
But overall, was a wonderful experience with just the right amount of ambient noise so we felt energized but not unable to hear each other.

Had a wonderful business dinner at this lovely spot! Staff was impeccable and friendly, the food was fresh, tasty and nutritious, and the ambiance amazing; the decor lighting and atmosphere was perfect. The tables are comfortable to eat at, they have a great menu with an array of choices that also were beautifully creative. It’s tough to find a good spot in the area to have a wonderful dinner without all the fuss and I highly recommend Jupiter! Really a gem 💎 in the area, thank you to the team who created a fantastic experience!

We tried booking over the phone and they didn’t have availability for the next couple of hours, but we were able to book through Resy, and they kindly seated us when we arrived. Upon receiving the menus, we were ready to order within 3 minutes, but we waited 15 minutes for our waiter to come back. Upon ordering, appetizer came after another 15 minutes, and the main course 20 minutes after that. I will say, other tables seemed to be served a bit quicker, and the rest of the staff seemed nice.
The restaurant was half-empty, so these delays are frustrating enough, but the portion sizes were ridiculous. I ordered the Tonnarelli (cacio e pepe), and I could capture every noodle in one fork-spin. Only reason this isn’t a one-star is because the taste (6/10) and outdoor seating were fine, though the umbrellas blocked the view. Some friends hated their dishes though. Caeser salad and cheapest pasta plate came out to nearly $65 after tax/gratuity. Perhaps the most disappointing experience of my second NYC trip.

Very attentive and friendly staff.
Cocktails and appetizer ( striped bass crudo) are excellent. Tiramisu is up to par.
Location is amazing considering it is at the Rockefeller rink area!

I visited Jupiter at Rockefeller Center with my wife – right next to the famous statue with the fountain and the ice rink. Unfortunately, the experience was a complete letdown. The waiter was rude and dismissive from the very beginning – clearly the kind of place that thrives on one-time tourist visits and doesn’t care about service.
The food itself was okay – maybe a 6 out of 10, which is acceptable by New York tourist trap standards. But the service was absolutely terrible. We had to ask the waiter multiple times just to get basic attention. No recommendations, no effort – we ordered the burrata and got it plain, without any explanation or sides. I asked for salt and pepper – he never came back, and his attitude was outright arrogant.
Tip? Not earned.
Bottom line: if you value hospitality, decent service, or a pleasant dining experience, avoid Jupiter. There are countless better places in New York – this one is definitely not worth your time or money.

I visited this restaurant in June after attending one of the NBC shows and was still buzzing with excitement. Unfortunately, things started off on a disappointing note. They were taking so long to find our dinner reservation and finally after they found it we were seated at a table right next to the pillar right inside so we felt we were not welcomed while I could see all the tables were empty at the time.
Service was quite slow. We waited a while before anyone came over. We started with the focaccia (a bit too oily for my taste), the zucchini fritti (just average), and the patatine fritte, which were so hard. I'd say you can order it if you have strong teeth.Probably the toughest chips I’ve ever had.
One thing that felt off was being automatically served sparkling water, and even though we didn’t order it. We had to ask the server to cancel it.
The main courses, just pasta and fish, were ok, but nothing special. When I asked for my check, they asked me to go over to the counter as they did not bring the reader or maybe they don't have the portable reader? That was fine. But I noticed a 20% service fee was automatically added to the bill, which, according to the menu, should only apply to parties of six or more, but we were five. That was not what I expected to see on my bill.
Overall, the experience left me with the impression that the staff weren’t very interested in serving us. That said, I’m sure others might have a better experience—it just wasn’t a hit for us.

I had been to the Rockefeller Center rink-level restaurant before Jupiter took over. I was curious how I would like the new place, and I am happy to report it exceeded my expectations! I had an absolutely wonderful hanger steak that was reasonably priced by NYC standards. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy the ambiance. And my waiter was very attentive! It was all good!!!

The food was good quality but all of our food was warm at best. The chicken we added to salads came out as Mediterranean skewers that were burnt and dry, not a good pairing for Cesar salads. Service was terrible, the host was more concerned with discussing her personal life with a friend then greeting me, received silverware with no napkins and took 12 mins to get the,didn’t offer to refresh drinks (even tho they charge), 3 different servers that didn’t communicate to each other. Sitting in the rink is nice but definitely not with the automatic 20% gratuity and poor service.

I REALLY enjoyed my time at Jupiter. I am in love with the aesthetic. Midcentury Modernism meets futuristic vibes. The service was excellent. We started with drinks at the bar and our bartender was incredible. Very kind, really attentive, and made excellent cocktails. I went off menu and asked for the Hugo spritz which was super delicious. After that, we tried incredible appetizers (the burrata and artichokes) both were outstanding. My husband got the grilled fish for his entree and I got the cacio e Pepe. Both were satisfying and high quality. For being in the middle of a tourist trap, the food was exceptional! One critique, I do think for the price point, focaccia bread should be included with the burrata but that’s just me!
