The place is really happening and service is great. I do feel like it’s a little overpriced, especially when it comes to the wine list. But, overall a very good spot!

It was our wedding anniversary so we made reservations here because of the reviews we heard and views. Food and service was great. Ropa vieja is one of the best ones my wife had. The chimichurri steak was really good, finished the entire meal. Portion sizes are good. We got champagne on the house which was a nice surprising touch for us. We’ll be back for sure.

Great views of NYC. The food and drinks were spot-on and the service was just right. Someone was always on top of water refills and clearing finished items etc.. Good place to take someone you want to impress.

The overall experience was exceotional. The bathroom attendant was funny, polite, and delightful. I do wish the seats in the space were separated apart a bit. It was hard trying to have a conversation without hearing others or being worried that people are hearing what you are saying. Besides, it was an enjoyable experience.

The food was great but the server wasn't transparent about the drink specials. Not only was the cost never mentioned but it was encouraged that I get a third. When I received my bill, the drinks alone were almost $200. It seems as though this was done deliberately to increase the tip, as 18% gratuity was added automatically. This was my Wife's first Mother's Day and this experience doesn't make us want to rush back. This was not our first time but it was our first time celebrating a holiday. I will think twice about drink specials offered at this establishment.

Place was nice and I expected to be paying a premium for Mothers Day, but charging a 7 dollar Open Table fee on top of the 3 percent for credit card and the 18 percent gratuity is just bad bussiness and abusive. The bill came in at 742.00 for 5 people. That is plain absurd, needless to say I will not be back.

Excellent food, strongly recommend the empanadas and the lamb dish. Service is also excellent our waitress was very attentive, made great recommendations, and was very helpful. Drinks are also very good albeit a pit pricey. I would say value for food is excellent and value for drinks less so but still worth it in my opinion.

I love this restaurant been here many times before, I took my mom for Mother's Day and it was her 1st time there. She loved the atmosphere, the food and service. Our Waiter Brian O was excellent, he was so friendly and helpful explaining dishes to my mom. Also, he was great with my 8 year old nephew when it came to what he would like to eat. The Young lady at the front desk was great too, she was able to seat me where I requested. Great Restaurant as always.... Kelli C.

We asked for seating near the window with view since it was my moms 70th birthday. I confirmed this the day before when they called and they said they are doing the best and we should mostly get it. That did not happen. First there was 15min wait when we reached there and the waitress was not informative with the food and we asked for no churizo in paella with food restrictions with someone on the table but the food had churrizo. We had to ask him to eat something else. The service was poor. They brought candles in desert for other tables but they totally ignored for our table!! That was the last time we are ever going to this place
