   Nice location for an after matinee cocktail during happy hour. The food was fine. Disappointing that there were two small sliders on a plate for $20! But maybe that’s everywhere in Manhattan. Drinks were good and servers were attentive.

   This a cool rooftop bar. The vibes are nice, great view, it’s fun to be at. The drinks were good, nothing special, expensive of course. The food was pretty good too, again nothing really special. We had the meat & cheese board, wings, and ceviche. The service was a little bizarre. They seated us and then we didn’t see anyone for at least 20 minutes. Once they took our drink order they were out of a lot of their speciality cocktails. All our drinks and apps came at the exact same time so the tiny tiny patio table was very overcrowded, it seemed most people around us were having the same experience

   Venue was very aesthetic and nice. The outside couch seating was comfortable and it provided a nice place to sit and catch up. The drinks were very good as well and the waitress was able to recommend something I liked!

    Not impressed - this is not a restaurant as such. Very poor and limited menus…if you only want drinks then maybe it’s okay. But everything is over priced and not that great.

    This wasn’t our 1st time at Castell Rooftop. Overall, it was another good experience. We had the Ceviche, Beef Sliders, Avocado Toast & the Thai Chicken skewers. We drank a Casamigos Margarita & a Mojito. Service is important to me. I have no problem going to and paying a premium price for food & drinks. With that price premium price, the service should be PREMIUM. The service during my visit wasn’t PREMIUM! It was at best a 4 out of 10. Even with that I gave my server a 17% tip. Maybe it was not a good day, but it should not have been at me and wife’s expense!!!

    The restaurant was a great option for lively atmosphere and good vibes. I had a Caesar salad with chicken. It was very good. The weather outside was a torrential downpour, so I was disappointed not to be able to eat outside.

    Only complaint was that service was slow considering you are limited to 1.5 hours on the rooftop. That being said, as a business, the waitstaff should certainly be coming around more frequently in an effort to maximize profit in that time limit.

    What a fun welcome to my first visit to NYC! We knew we would be a bit travel weary and booked at the Castell since we were staying at the AC Marriott. Wonderful ambiance and Kim who took care of our bar order was amazing! Micheal was great with our food order. Delicious flavors. The ricotta and flat bread was incredible. The sliders and potatoes were delicious. The drinks were so good. Definitely try the House G&T and close it out with the nightcap espresso martini. The view is all that you expect from New York. Including a beautiful view of the Empire State Building. Thank you Castell for the warm welcome

    Came to NYC with big expectations, but this rooftop left us disappointed. The drinks were not got at all, except for the Lavender one. The the food items we ordered were very good. The ambiance is nice, but the outside area was closed and no way for us to actually see Times Square or take a picture (really the only reason we came to this spot). I have been to make rooftops and bars, but this was not good at all.
    

    Castell Rooftop LoungeResponded on April 11, 2023Thanks for your review! I'm so sorry you did not find a cocktail that suited your liking! Our bartenders are solid and more than prepared to create anything that you may want so hopefully we can take care of you next time!

    It was ok! It was sold as being a premium, special experience but it was just ok. The rooftop outdoor area was closed for renovations but there was no warning of this on the website or booking. Sadly disappointed in our experience. A good atmosphere sadly missed by the disinterested waiting staff. The special night we imagined was not all it was cracked up to be and was very pricey for what you got.
    

    Castell Rooftop LoungeResponded on April 11, 2023Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. I'm so sorry you were not able view our patio, you are correct we are undergoing renovations. We have placed this notification on our website and Opentable, but I'm sorry you may have missed it and weren't able to fully enjoy the space. We hope you revisit us later this Spring to really take it all in!

    This is highlighted as a great rooftop view. The patio was closed (not disclosed at time of reservation), and there is no view from indoors. In the afternoon it was VERY warm indoors, uncomfortably so. No one approached our table after being seated, so we left, politely declining our table with the hostess on our way out.
    

    Castell Rooftop LoungeResponded on April 11, 2023Hi! Thank you for your review. We're very sorry you were not able to experience the full space. We have done our best to have this patio closure on our website and Opentable at time of booking. Our team does their best to be very attentive but thank you for this feedback as we aim to improve our service.

    I have a reservation for 6:30pm. Happy hour is from 4pm - 6pm, it was loud and crowded on a Wednesday night! The service was great, the food was good, the drinks were strong. But, the level of noise was problematic. The crowd was mostly couples (30s and older) and single women, 20somethings and 30somethings. Castell is a great pick up spot for single men!

    Fantastic location. Beautifully appointed. Great vibe. The view was unobstructed. The staff was attentive and courteous. The drinks and food were delicious. I would have preferred a happy hour option in addition to the regular priced items. I would definitely come back with a few friends or solo before my trip over to NJ.

    We ordered the empanadas and the shrimp and the shrimp smelled like they were kept in a plastic bag under the sun the smell was so bad. The taste was of a rubbery dead fish. We didn’t touch the appetizers besides for eating one of the empanadas before we realized we no longer wanted to dine there. After requesting the check one would have hoped the service staff realized that something was wrong, but they dropped the check without comping anything or even asking if something was wrong. We quickly got another reservation for a restaurant down the street. This was for a birthday celebration also.

    I had the pleasure of coming back to experience Castell rooftop, and I am so happy I did. The first time I came, I hosted an event which didn't go as planned. The event coordinator and GM were extremely receptive and gave me an opportunity to come back and take care of me. With that being said, my second visit was OUTSTANDING. I came with my boyfriend and we ordered a few small plates and drinks. We were given complimentary champagne upon arrival and our server was so attentive. The manager and server both apologized to me profusely. Michael was in charge of serving us last night, and I cannot be more elated with our service. He gave us amazing suggestions on the menu, from food to drinks, and checked on us consistently. I am such a picky person and every single thing he suggested was out of this world (the food and drinks were never the issue here). We had the skewers, empanadas, grilled cheese/tomato soup, tres leches, and the ricotta dip. I am still drooling over that food! The drinks we had consisted of an espresso martini, spicy margarita, and an old fashion. I am so happy I came back, this is a completely different experience from last time. Do I dare say this is my new favorite city spot..
