    Warmly welcomed by your Maitre d’ Inge (if I’m getting her name right), our experience was exceptional. As a note, some of your waiters were a bit too insistent in asking if we wanted more drinks, even after saying no a couple of times and noticeably having some sips remaining in our glasses. However, this would not overshadow the pristine service provided by reception and the unapologetically elegant atmosphere of your establishment.

    We were thoroughly impressed with this rooftop bar in New York City. The entire staff displayed exceptional hospitality, ensuring that we had a wonderful experience. We were never left waiting, and there was a DJ playing a diverse range of music from 5 to 8 pm. The view was simply breathtaking, offering a stunning panoramic view of the city and its vibrant crowd. I highly recommend this place for after-work drinks and will definitely be returning in the future.

    The food was delicious. We had the 1/2 chicken, the Mafaldine pasta and the braised leeks. The restaurant had a nice vibe. It is loud but you can still have a conversation. I found both our waitress and the sommelier helpful, professional. I received a text from the restaurant to let me know that our reserved table might not be ready on time, so I was able to arrive a bit late and not have to stand around waiting for the table to turn over. I will definitely be back.
