    We sat at the bar because the music was too loud. The bartender was amazing, He served us drinks and food. He explained the menu and suggested the pizza and sliders. The margarita pizza was heavenly. The sliders were fresh and flavorful. While the menu is small, it's clear that its thought out and specific. The vibe is very relaxed with no pressure to order or be kicked out. It's a great place to relax, catch up and admire the bar your surroundings. Spent about two hours and it was totally worth it.

    Great location and atmosphere. If the atrium had windows that could open and more fans, it would make it more comfortable on warm summer evenings!

    Went on Sunday for their bottomless brunch, it was really good. My friend doesn’t drink alcohol and they managed to accommodate her by making mocktails that weren’t on the menu. Overall, it was an amazing experience, would definitely go back.

    Easily one of the worst places I’ve dined at. Upon entering, the hostess was rude and dismissive. On one of only Saturdays that NYC has had nice weather so a moderate brunch crowd should have been anticipated at this establishment, there were 2 waitresses working the entire floor yet we waited 30 minutes before anyone even came over to offer water or take our orders. Then once the food came, because we had a whole half hour of watching other ppl’s food come back and forth to notice, half of the order on my friend’s plate was missing. The cocktails tasted more like mocktails and after the whole experience, we still had to dine at another venue because we didn’t want to order anything further here but we were still hungry. We chose Elsie Rooftop based on an IG influencer suggestion and now I definitely feel like she was paid to say what she said about this place.

    I would give Elsie's Rooftop zero stars if I could. I was informed the evening before that the rooftop had been 'bought out' and our reservations would be changed to the 'penthouse'. Although I was disappointed the weather forecasted rain so I kept the reservation. We arrived, hoping to be seated in a penthouse.....it was more like a dark gym with a few seats in each of four corners. There was a group of people in one corner, otherwise, the huge dark dank room was empty. We sat briefly and after 5 minutes left- our server had never even come over and it was the least attractive commercial space I had ever been in. What a joke!
    Elsie RooftopResponded on June 5, 2025
    We’re truly sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. The change in location due to a rooftop buyout should have still felt special, and it’s clear we missed the mark. We’re reaching out to you privately to follow up and make this right.

    My family and I visited for Mother's Day Brunch and had a wonderful experience. The location is spectacular, the bottomless mimosa brunch was much appreciated. We all enjoyed our meals, my daughter, who never finishes her plate, cleaned her plate of French Toast! The Shakshuka, egg in a hole and sliders were all so tasty. Even the bowl of fruit was plentiful. I would highly recommend the brunch. Thank you for making my Mother's Day wonderful.

    We paid in advanced and once seated we tried to waive someone down for 45 minutes of our 90 minute slot and when we finally got someone she went to the manager to get help who said I don’t care you do what I ask now and walked away. I went and found her myself and said I wanted a refund and left. We were refunded however this was a horrible experience for Mother’s Day.
