Although the aesthetic is nice for a nightclub and bottle service is great (shoutout to the bottle girls). The first thing you are greeted with are rude bouncers and desk staff. I would like to specifially mention Peter who was probably the rudest bouncer I have met. Fire him. He puts first impressions for this place in the hole. People will walk away if they are greeted with someone like Peter and spend their money else where.

the worst place to go. Not only because of how excessively expensive is, but also because of the poor treatment of the staff. A waiter pushed me and one of the managers came and literally told me to leave the place. and that we were occupying a table that was worth 800 dollars and if we didn't pay that! on top of the 400 that I had already paid , that I was in the wrong place... that in Queens I could find places according to my finances. it was disgusting !

PHD one of the most beautiful views of NYC. A very charming and Instagramable rooftop. Wonderful services, DJ, food and drinks, lots of beautiful people.

Worst experience so far, we had a reservation, that was a disaster immediately, they lost our reservation info and everything went downhill from there

long story short … RACIST , PREJUDICEattended last weekend with some colleagues. All expenses on the company. They didn’t allow us to pay with our AMEX, as per the manager “ they can only charge 300 on the card because we could possibly call and cancel the pending charges” …. Not spending a penny here ever again & advise others not do so as well . Very unprofessional

I went here for my sister‘s birthday. We arrived, and they had people standing up in the lobby. It was an unfortunate situation because it was cold outside. There were no chairs or offers for people to be seated anywhere. We waited until something became available, even though we had reservations. I will say, however, that they had a very large area that could easily be turned into a sitting area and a coat area for spillover when people are waiting for reservations.The hostess was amiable and very gracious. The aforementioned is beyond our control, and she made every attempt to visit everybody and let them know and keep them updated on the reservation and their status. I’m disappointed because this place is lovely on the inside.As far as the food in the drinks is concerned, the drinks were OK. Some unique names are given to traditional cocktails. I like the spin that they put on the cocktails. However, the food left much to be desired, as well as the service. Overall, I think this place has tremendous potential. Still, I would not recommend it for any special occasion or night when they have something planned for anyone because you may be disappointed.Another thing to note is although I love Reggaeton music, many other patrons may not, and the venue made it very clear who their audience was. Despite the diverse demographic, the music catered to a specific audience. Our tab was about $900, and if we drop that much money in a place, it should at least be inclusive and provide us with a notable and memorable experience.As you can tell, I’m an avid reviewer, taking lots of pictures and videos. I did not have the best experience here, so needless to say. I only have personal photos and videos as we celebrated a birthday to document the occasion, not to review the venue. I hope that they take these comments and concerns into consideration and make adjustments because there is lots of money to be made in relationships to be built if they decide to make a shift.

The view is just out of this world!Drinks are good, bartenders are nice, although I paid different prices for the same drink with different bartenders ( weird)Music is always great. Perfect dance night .Only complaint-the women bathroom is impossible small, and the line never ends.

I had a table reserved at another Tao property and got bumped for a private event. I accepted a table at PHD instead. Lame music. Lame crowd. Quite possibly it picks up late night but for me it was a waste of money and I didn't stay long.

I want to give 0000000 stars but this app requires me to give at least 1. This is a trash establishment. The white bouncer said that they will NOT allow "fat girls". We were 6 black girls, dressed very nicely and they would not allow us in. This is a horrible establishment. It is 2023, we were going out to have a good time just like everyone else but were denied. Establishments that perpetuate these ideas should not be in business! Terrible.

Drinks are worth the money. If you're looking for a decent DJ, this is NOT the place. DJ seems like this is his first time playing. No flow, no style, no build up. Terrible ☹️ how do you go from Bad Bunny to AC/DC on a hard drop with no fade?
