    Unfortunately when we got to the place we did not stay. I was very disappointed that on the website they advertised all day Friday happy hour but when we go there that was not the case. I was told it no longer exist. I explained it's false advertisement and that is very disappointing and misleading. It was advertised on the website. When we arrived they seated up in a small area by ourselves and gave us a sushi menu. We did not want a sushi menu. We ended up leaving. I have never been anywhere where the restaurant didn't honor what they have on their website. They didn't have a happy hour. I felt like the place was more concerned about booking events then accommodating guest for the mistake they made. I probably won't go again to this place.

    UNPROFESSIONAL. The place was booked out for a party and no one notified us. Showed up for our reservation - secured with a credit card - only to be turned away. Ruined my friends birthday dinner.

    Hands down the worst experience of all. On Valentine's day we had 2 drinks and walked out as our food we ordered never arrived. This place cannot be called rooftop. There is no view. There is no atmosphere. Despite the manager's effort, that from downstairs moved us upstairs, the night just got worse, the place was cold as it is enclosed only by a flimsy structure. We paid the 2 drinks and left. I should have considered the other poor reviews.

    This place was fabulous. This was my first time in New York and I was trying to find a place for my daughter's 30th birthday. I tried others that wanted me to pay up front. We had an excellent waitress and I wish I had gotten her name. The drinks and food were fabulous. They accommodated our every need, moving us 3 times. We had the place to ourselves at 8 at night just by chance and I recommend it a thousand times over. Just wonderful

    Delicious , quality food options and full bar. Service was a bit slow, maybe do to the layout of the establishment. But the servers were very friendly during our interactions.

    The place seemed very depressing and quiet. The photos were a lot better than the actual place. That said the service was good. Didn’t try the food so cant really comment on the food and the wine was good.
