    Second time coming here. Views are great. Outdoor seating available. Service is attentive. Food was good and served quickly! Calamari this time around wasn't crunchy but fish and chips were. Would come back.

    Great view of NYC. The service was excellent; we were not rushed, and our food was delivered promptly. We ordered from the small bites menu, and it was the perfect amount of food for a pre-show meal. The cocktails were a very generous pour. A delightful experience, and we will be back.

    We ate there at 8:00 pm, which was after the rush of all the theater-goers. We found the whole experience excellent. Staff were friendly and very attentive. Food was hot, fresh, and tasty. Views were outstanding. Music was festive. We were glad we chose this restaurant for a nice late evening meal.

    The place is exceptional, the food, drinks, and service were all very good, but half the balcony was inaccessible due to filming. To make matters worse, some people filming there changed clothes, leaving them almost naked on the balcony next to the glass walls of my table, not caring that a family with children was there. Such behavior is truly shameful.

    The service was appalling and the food was lukewarm and tasted as if it had been reheated! Very disappointed.

    Disappointed in the food. My son's steak and my chicken were both overcooked.
