Atmosphere was wonderful, but there was no air conditioning inside, and it was very hot and uncomfortable!!

A beautiful rooftop space, and the staff was very accommodating in terms of adjusting our group size, taking photos of our group, and providing us with additional water beyond the drinks and food we purchased. A great summer spot!

The theme is very cute here! It was decorated with cherries for summer. It is a cute rooftop with great golden hour sun and nice city views. The lite bites were tasty (we loved the Mac & cheese balls!!! We wish the chicken bites had more than 1 dipping sauce, but they were still good, though a few were a tiny bit too crunchy). The spicy cherry Paloma was delicious!! But the cherry espresso martini tasted like medicine and was very watered down; the foam was gone almost instantly. We sent that drink back. Our waitress was so nice and helpful, but the busboys were very rude - they kept trying to rush us and clear our table even though it was not busy, the rooftop was half empty, so it's not like they needed to clear our table. Also, we genuinely felt very judged for taking photos, even though we were just at our table in the corner. One busboy kept giving us nasty looks, which I've never experienced at a city rooftop bar that is quite literally designed for photo taking. The same busboy made me move my bag off a tiny side table (RIGHT next to my seat) so he could give it to a larger party, but when I looked on the other side of the group, I saw an empty side table that he could have grabbed instead. I definitely would return to check out the next theme & get another Paloma! But now I know how some staff are about photos and service. Also, just be warned, the cherry tunnel you see on Instagram is used to get to and from seats. So, to take pictures there, you might block the staff, so you have to snap quickly when they're not walking around. It's not a side area that you can pose for a ton of pictures to avoid getting in the way, which feels a little silly for a place that heavily advertises all the photo opportunities.

I came during the cherry theme and it was a look for sure! Loved it! Food was good, the fish tacos and the crab slides were delicious but the calamari's were ok, would rate it 5/10. As far as the service they were pretty slow, well at least the waitress I had but overall I would recommend :)

Extra charge on our credit card for some inexplicable reason. So far, no reply from management from my inquiry. Not cool.

Imani

Small tables, raw food, watered down drink, credit card system kept declining everyone's card

Marcia

A wonderful place, with themed decor that inspires photo ops, a beautiful view, and a pleasant atmosphere. When we're in New York, this is one of the places we always return to! We highly recommend it.

The ambiance was perfect for a date. Loved the view and the best of all were the appetizer selections. Everything we ate tasted amazing. We had cheeseballs, coconut shrimp and the beef sliders. Cheers to the chef and the staff that made it a comfortable experience! Will be coming back with my girls next time.

Quite disappointing! I will say the staff provided exceptional service, and the food was decent. However, none of the drinks impressed me. We ordered 4 diff drinks. The benches were extremely uncomfortable; I had to sit on a table just to face my group. Yes, it's a rooftop, but that doesn't mean you can't have fans. It was unbearably hot, and even the staff were fanning themselves with menus. The bathroom was also uncomfortably small.

Opentable Diner

GREAT experience! The setting was really cute and created a great vibe. Amazing prices for a rooftop happy hour in manhattan, and all of the $7 bites were great. Went before Broadway and it was only a short walk away. The service was also spectacular, everyone was very attentive.

Charissa

Great evening out. Everyone was very nice and pleasant from the hostess downstairs to the waitstaff and everyone between. The food and drinks were excellent. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

This rooftop was amazing ! Our service was spectacular and the views were to die for. So happy I booked here despite negative reviews. I will be coming back!

Vanessa

It was super chill nice vibe. I loved the view and the decor. The service was also nice and we really enjoyed happy hour .

Miguel

Happy hour apparently does not apply to all orders, ended up paying much more than expected

Rita

We had a group of 8 people celebrating 4 th of July. We were sitting downstairs due to the rain on the rooftop. Everything was great but the service was extremely slow.
