Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge offers a "stunning view" of the Empire State Building and a "whimsical" floral decor that makes it a photo-worthy destination. Guests enjoy the "fun atmosphere" and "delicious drinks," though some note "slow service" and a "limited menu." A great spot for "girls' nights out" and celebratory gatherings!

    Service was HORRIBLE!!! 20 min before we got a glass of water. Asked 3 times and finally someone brought over water . Brought the bill before they even brought the drinks.

    This is one of the most amazing bars I have ever been to the food was amazing. They have many versions of everything while the food is a little bit on the pricier side for the size. The taste is amazing. The ambience is unmatched, and the views are on parallel to none. This was my daughter’s 21st birthday and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. We are definitely going back.

    Me and my friend went here for brunch, the food was amazing and very decently priced. But the service was so bad. Our server forgot what we ordered and it took almost 45 mins to get our food. If the service was better I would come back because the place is beautiful. But the service was just horrible.

    Like the review said before it is hot. I think they should definitely consider getting some fans especially if there’s no umbrella available at your table. But overall, everything was great. Service was great. The food was great. The drinks were great. I went with my four year-old daughter and two year-old nephew and they had a blast up there.

    We had reservations. But the hostess basically never found us a table. She told us to wait at the bar. So we did. We checked few times. She wasn’t interested in getting us a table. We left after an hour went some where else. Super disappointing.

    There was a mix up and our reservation was checked in to by someone three hours before the time, they were able to correct it and find us a table when we arrived. The table seemed to be a last minute placement, it took 20+ minutes for the server to even acknowledge us, and we didn’t get drinks until 30 minutes after being seated. The drinks were good and the ambiance was good, but the service level left us feeling as though we’d wasted our time and money.

    Beautiful venue but the service lacks a little. A couple with a later reservation than ours, was seated before us and we had to wait almost half an hour to be seated. The food was AMAZING and the views more than made up for the mid service.
