   The venue is quite beautiful and sophisticated but we were disappointed to learn that they have now transitioned to all plastic cups for the outdoor seating areas. Truly ruined the ambience.

   Pleasant view even in the rain but overpriced food and uncomfortable seating for a meal.

   I came here because I am a huge Gossip Girl fan, but the experience was incredible whether or not you are into the show. The view is great, drinks are awesome.

    They ran out of two different drinks that I ordered. I first ordered an Aperol Spritz. When it came it didn't taste like a Aperol Spritz. The waitress took it back to the bar and then informed me that they ran out and substituted Campari. They should have told me vs me having to taste it and send it back. I also tried to order the Watermelon cooler and they ran out of that as well. The Lincoln Center side of the rooftop was not open when we arrived so we had to sit on the Broadway side. This side is not as pleasant as the Lincoln Center side.

    Solo dining at a rooftop bar, for a quick bite and drink. I was sat in a weird space with no views or ambiance, but the food and my drink were very good. The service was great - friendly staff. Overall, a medium experience, extremely disappointed by the lack of rooftop vibes I expect from an establishment such as this. Reservations were needed to go up, although the space was quite empty at 7pm.

    The ambiance was good. However, we (my husband and I, celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary) waited very long for service. We had to flagged the waiter several times for service. I however, would like to recognize that there was only one waiter taking orders for the entire section of the rooftop were were on. The manager was also apologetic for the service we've received. For that reason, I will come back.

    Can’t comment on the food but what we saw looked amazing! Loved being on the rooftop terrance. Drinks were amazing, service was great. Atmosphere and ambience was fabulous. Loved it. Only down side is you have to book to go up as walk-ins for groups of 5 apparently few and far between.

    Service was great but the quality of the drinks was really poor. We wanted to sent back both drinks but only sent back one cause the other one was durable. Even the table next to us sent back 2. Overall it was not bad but definitely room for improvement.

    Made the reservation for outside and after 20 minutes of being there they moved us inside. Took 30 minutes to get our drinks and when we got them they were bad and had to be remade. Never got the water we asked for several times. I’ve come here plenty of times and never had an issue but tonight was not great.

    Drinks were not great, the view is amazing, the service is very poor wr had to wait to get the check like 30 min cuz we finished our drinks and unfortunately nobody got back to our table to ask if we wanted something else so we had to go look for the waiter and even then it took like 30 min to get him. I was so excited to go but really dissatisfied with the experience

    I booked this to celebrate my birthday and chose outdoor seating so a few friends and I could enjoy the rooftop. We were given indoor seating and I was told the app should not still be showing the choice for indoor or outdoor seating. I was disappointed since I only chose this for the rooftop to celebrate my birthday. If I knew I was going to be inside I would have chosen to go somewhere else. Drinks were good but very weak. Food was good but not worth the price. Overall it was okay.

    Service was slow given that it was not packed. At one stage it looked they had only one server servicing the entire indoor area.
