The restaurant was good in general. Our only complaints were with our server. The security, host and everyone else was great. Our server seemed like she hated her life. Avoided our table and ignored when asked for something and sat in the corner and talked to her friend. A smile can go a long way in the service industry.

Everything was beautiful with the exception of the food, The food is very expensive but wasn't that good. Need better selections. The Macaroni Cheese Balls, too much cheese, too gooey. Better dips. Chips and Salsa would be a good selection, Mozzarella stick, crispy and tasty chicken strips. More dessert selectionsctions

The filet mignon skewers were great. I had old fashions and it was tasty. My main issue was the service. It took a while for anyone to take our order and that only happened because we started looking around for a waiter. Only after that were we approached by 3 different waitresses, which we didn’t need at that point. We had to ask for water while eating, waive our waitresses down for drink refills. We paid about $200 and I personally don’t think the quality of the service was worth spending that.

The vibe of this rooftop was really relaxed, even when things got busier towards the 6pm hour. The food however was genuinely mediocre and overpriced. We ordered the burrata pizza (8/10), the thai lettuce beef wraps (5/10), the kale artichoke dip (7/10) and the parmesan french fries (6/10). We also ordered a pitcher of the 'Strawberry Fields' cocktail. Originally the bartender made us a mezcal drink, which both the server and bartender were very polite and sweet about swapping for us (honest mistake). The flower tunnel and decor are very pretty though and make for great pictures.

Not a good rooftop bar. Drinks were mid, felt very watered down and expensive for what we got. Food was too salty. Seemed like a beautiful venue on Instagram, but reality was the archway was just upon entrance. There's some floral decor around the bar overhead and maybe one cabana esque area with flowers, but that was blocked off because of the rain. Service was nonchalant and inattentive. I don't recommend coming here. I guess if you wanted to get a nice Instagram photo, try to go without a reservation and see if you can get a spot at the bar and get your Instagram photo. That way you don't have to deal with putting your credit card on file for a reservation.

Overall, it was a good experience, but the service was a little bit slow. In my opinion, quite overpriced for what you got. Also, when they asked if you wanted water, they didn’t indicate that the water was an expensive bottled water. It was kind of misleading. Other than that, the views were great, and the ambiance was really nice. The flower hallway was beautiful!

We arrive and got seated in an area where there was absolutely no kind of wind, we asked to be relocated and even with being relocated it was absolutely hot no fans we did not get any service till about 20 minutes later. On top of that our bill was incorrect after we paid for it, the hostess realized she made a mistake. This is just a place for photos not a place at all to come at least not in the summer

This place is really cute and the view is stunning. However the hostesses seemed like we were bothering them when we were first seated and the waitress we had barely checked up on us. The food wasn’t bad but the drinks were good despite it being a little expensive. Also- the floor broke! Huge safety hazard and they had to fix it in front of everyone.

The experience here was fairly unwell. The customer service here would have gotten 0 stars if possible. The waitress are continuously trying to clear your table for the following reservation. Also, will hover over you until you pay your tab. Very rushed dinner. The price point makes sense due to rooftop in Manhattan, but not worth it. The drinks were not tasteful, at all. Nothing about this experience was good other then the beautiful view / restaurant decor for pictures .

We enjoyed our night. The food was good but very little food for your money. Our waitress wasn’t super attentive for how slow it was there. The drinks were great and of course the ambience was amazing with city views. Low key crowd and music was perfect. Loved the flower wall for content. Would go back.

Food and drinks were great but we had gone for Happy Hour and when asking our server what drinks were included in the $10 cocktails, we were only told about spritzes, which ended up being $15 each. We were annoyed because spritzes weren’t our first choice but wanted to get the deal, and ended up not getting in anyway. Our server just gave us the wrong information, wait staff needs to have consistent information!

Our experience here today was pretty cool. The staff was very welcoming and polite. We ordered a few dishes to share and everything was tasty. We had the filet mignon skewers, empanadas , parmesan fries Mac and cheese balls and pizza. No complaints .. the drinks were also good. My friend was a little disappointments with the cotton candy drink … but otherwise everything else was good.. very very picturesque .. we were happy about that.
