   Poor drinks - too sweet. They didn't have the ingredients for the first drink that I ordered.

   This is not a proper restaurant. It’s more a bar with bar food. Staff were bordering on rude despite us being the only ones there. Cannot recommend despite good location.

   Place was nicely setup and easy to find. Service was very rushed though. We had a reservation for 10, and barely got there, ordered the food and drinks and were told that kitchen was closing and they were calling for last call at 1030. Surprising though as they were still accepting reservations for 11 pm. Server didn’t provide any recommendations on drinks, and the bus boys cleared out plates without asking us if we were finished. We felt rushed and decided to leave after just one drink each (which weren’t the greatest I must add). Was our first rooftop experience in NYC and we think it could have been better.

   The music was way too loud to enjoy anything. We wanted to sit on the roof top and they weren’t seating certain areas despot it not being busy and it wasn’t raining for the first time in days. Not our favorite sport. The music alone on a Sunday night was way too noisy and energetic. Would have liked a quiet option.

   We had a gilt city voucher for brunch, unfortunately they couldn’t fulfill the complete purchase of the voucher because there were several private parties reserved - but we still opted to stay. Most of The scenic seating was reserved, we were seated in front of an exit door, which the staff used to crossover to the other dining area. Our server didn’t have much of a personality and seemed preoccupied, actually most of the staff was stoic. The red sangria was good, but I wouldn’t say delicious; included was also a tapas platter - the food could have been served hotter, the grilled cheese wedges were tasty, the pizza bites tasted like the frozen store bought and were cold, sliders were fair and mini vegetable rolls were tasty and crunchy but fair. Disappointing…

   Terrible service. No one is friendly there. Including the host downstairs is very rude. Booked it a week before but the seat we got was the worst.

    The food was outstanding, and was delicious to the last drop. The service, however, was very poor and we were left alone for more than 30 minutes and our waitress left. Then they couldn't find my tab and it took more than 15 minutes to find.

    Was disappointed with our visit. The service was bad, drinks were watered down as they were served late ... might have been some problem but was not communicated and would have appreciated if they had made fresh drinks and not served us drinks that were kept for 20 minutes.

    Terrible place if a private party has most of it reserved. We were seated outside and the server charged us for casamigos tequila and we were given well. I don’t mind but when asking she lied to my face and stated “we only have patron, casamigos, and 1942. We don’t serve any well or anything else.” And charged me for the $21 ea shots when they were clearly cheap tequila. Walked into the [Full] bar after confronting her and the bar tender said they have well and plenty of others. Not worth the time or stuck up attitude from these servers. Pictures make it look better than expectation. Go to Skylark instead

    Elsie was a great spot for a quicker, but nicer, small dinner/drinks before a show! The aesthetic is gorgeous and it made me feel very fancy.

    Would not come back. Very meh place and would only recommend if you are coming with a large group. First, the hostess could not find our reservation despite us saying and spelling the name repeatedly. When she showed us her computer screen, it was the second name on the list. To be fair, we were 20 minutes late which I do take responsibility for. Second, they seated our party and then 20 minutes later said there was a private party coming so moved us to another table. The drinks were $19 per cocktail and were pretty bad. The penicillin tasted like melted ice water and I don't think there was alcohol or anything else in it like honey or lemon. There weren't really any "rooftop" views despite it being a rooftop bar. The music was decent though and again probably good for a large group trying to go to a lounge. However, there are much better places to go to in NYC for small groups looking for a chill rooftop vibe.

    The restaurant didn’t hold the reservation. They turned me away in the lobby and told everyone else on line that the reservation was no longer valid and try later. Extremely unprofessional.

    We went there on a Saturday evening to celebrate one of our friends bachelorette. We had a great time. Our service was excellent. The drinks were very strong and the food very tasty. We had the white pizza, the guacamole and the pita and hummus. Everything was fresh and very tasty. We had a table reservation for 8 and we celebrated and danced until past midnight. The dj was great as well. Super fun and I’d go back any time. Not crowded to the point where you cannot dance.

    We went to Elsie for my friend’s birthday celebration and we felt that the staff while friendly, were all spread thin across tables and we had to wait more than the normal / average amount of time to get things like plates, a nice drink because ours were dirty with lipstick prints, etc.

    Overly pricey for cocktails. The ambiance isn't spectacular considering its a "rooftop." It's all indoors and one tiny area that is outdoor. DJ was good.

    Had an okay experience got seated outside where they didn’t have any heaters and had a waiter that basically didn’t care abt us. So 3.5/5 would’ve been better if we had better service. Food and drinks were a 4.5/5 recommend the burgers.
