    Beautiful view, …drinks, food is decent. Service was good. The place just needs revamping. Everything looks outdated. The entrance has bus tubs hanging out. Glass was blurry needs windex, bathroom needs cleaning. Sign looks old. It just needs to be refreshed if that makes sense.

    You are paying for the view. Go on a warm night. You can see all of Manhattan. The food was good. Prices were good. The 3 Craft Cocktails we had were all good but were all $18 (plus 20% automatic tip for the whole bill). Had a bottle of Cabernet for $54 (Website menu prices are off) afterwards. We had the Greek spread with pita and Babagonush (Good), Spicy Feta (real good), Tzatziki (watery-send it back), replaced with caviar mousse (fishy). Had the Saganaki (Melted cheese) it was good. Had lamb chops. You get 4 in an order. They were very good. Had the Mushroom Orzoto. That was good. Would go again just for the ambiance.

    My 1st visit was 4/22/23. The view, service, atmosphere was pleasant. I did not have food. Just 2 henny coladas that cost me $46. Vista is a place to relax & chill not to turn up. They had a house music only playing low on the rooftop you could barely hear. The price was not worth the 2 drinks but place & view was nice. Disappointed I wasn't able to dance, have fun & really enjoy myself.

    Had a fabulous time at Vista! The service was very good, better than your average hotel restaurant. We had the hummus, the shrimp tacos and the rigatoni carbonara - everything was delicious! Drinks were killer too. And of course the views. Will definitely be back!

    Not really the best ambiance for a sky lounge. Old equipment, does not have a modern feel and the food was okay. Nothing out of this world just a good view, with an eh vibe and okay food.

    This place is only popular because of the view. Otherwise, it was quite tacky. I order tea and it came in a takeout cup. There were chicken fingers and a chicken wrap on the menu. We had a table for 2, and the staff didn't even bother removing 4 other chairs from our table. Wonderful view for pictures, though! There was even a photographer who took pictures for you (for a fee).

    I made a reservation for Valentine’s Day for a whole experience with 4 course menu in vista ball room. The food was good, service really poor, waitress kept forgetting everything we ask for and marking our table between courses, the ambiance extremely poor. This was supposed to be a romantic dinner with nice music but there was no even music in our side only, half of the room. A manager was refilling other tables with sparkling wine but our table we had to get his attention in order to get some wine as well. They need to improve on their hospitality.

    This was kind of a disappointment but not so much. I'll explain. I had never been to this lounge before and made a reservation for four at 7:15pm. I went by the pictures posted on Google which show an amazing view of the city. When we git there it just looked like we were in a plastic tent with heaters and wires on the walls were visible so it looked shabby. If you go out side there is a nice view but it's not exactly what you'll see when you sit down. The food was "ok" to very good but boring and simple in taste. The portions are way too small for what you pay so we had to order several rounds of "pork chops" which were in fact lamb lollipops and babaganoush with extra pita bread. Very little food. We paid almost $700. The service was excellent, I will say that. But I don't think I'll be making any recommendations.

    The setting is very nice on top of the roof. But the food was very average for the price and I would not go again because it isn’t worth the expensive price.
