The ambiance was nice. Great view of LIC and Manhattan in the backdrop. Drinks were weak and pricey. Service was slow. We had buffalo wings and they came out cold and soggy. 20% tip was automatically added for a party of 2.

THERE IS NO POINT OF MAKING A RESERVATION ON OPEN TABLE. I made a reservation at 9:00pm for a table for 2 to sit outside. When I arrive they tell me my table is not ready and I'm standing in the doorway for 10mins, before I ask (who I believe was the manager) if I could sit at the bar while we wait for the table. Between my husband and I we went back to the front to ask about our table about 4 times within an hour time span to ask about our table, and every single time they told us that our table was still taken( THATS NOT how reservations work) . After get some drinks we left disappointed. Food looked gross(didn't taste) and the bartender was overworked causing there to be a back log of drinks. So tables were coming up to the bar complaining that they haven't received their drinks. JUST NOT a great EXPERIENCE. not worth the view

made a reservation and was not accommodated. waited sooo long to be seated and then never received any menus or even water for over an hour. Was told we would be moved to the table we requested originally with the view and was ignored and they gave the table to someone else. Got up and just left - no thanks. very cute spot, staff were visibly stressed but what’s the point of making a reservation and asking for credit card info if we can’t even get in. if you have a reservation for a certain time and you’re on time, your table should be available no?

So mid. Expected it to be more spacious, servers seemed like they didnt wanna be there at all. Not a lot of variety of food to choose from, plus pricy for no reason. At least the food was good, but again pretty mid. 4.5/10.

It was okay. The food was decent and the view was alright but the surrounding area was kind of shady to walk through. For the location that it is in, the food and drinks are overpriced. The drinks were pretty to look at but overly sweet and served in plastic ware. Wasn't as nice as we had hoped.

Had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s birthday yesterday. We enjoyed the food, drinks, and desert. The manager was on the floor assisting with the servers and waitress and it was amazing. They attended to us very well and efficiently. I would 10/10 recommend. The view was also very beautiful.

I’m sad to say that this place was a bit of a disappointment. When we went, the outdoor seating area was tented, which wasn’t what we were expecting when we reserved the table for outside. However, they did have an area you could still go to take pictures, which was nice. It took a long time for the server to come by, the food took a long time, and the server seemed to forget about us. We ordered some additional pita bread and it never came. We finally just asked for the check. This was not a place I would come back too. They automatically charged an 18% tip for just the 3 of us, which also seemed weird? And, if you miss or cancel your reservation within 48 hours of the date, they charge you $25 per person. I’m not sure the pictures of the city skyline were worth the experience or price.

Celebrated my girlfriends birthday over the 4/23 weekend Vista Sky Lounge was pretty neat overall top to bottom my only issues is the spacing(however practically everything in NY is tight and congested)I was most unhappy about the %25 gratuity for a 2 person party that I already had made $60 reservation on OpenTable

Did not fulfill the expectations. The pictures shown on the website do not reflect the real ambience of the place. Bathrooms are in need of a major upgrade. The view is only complemented with a fake cellphone filter.

Great food and drinks. I think there could be a slight improvement to your typical restaurant experience. A little decor and palates cups upgrade would help. Food was a great portion and flavor. Coupled with a nice view great value just needs a few adjustments to go from good to great.

Nice views. Had a 9:15 reservation for 7 and they definitely were not prepared for us. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Took a while to take our order a friend had to grab the waiter. I had the lobster pasta which I enjoyed. The truffle fries and wings were also pretty good. They forgot one of my friends side dishes and she had to wait about 15 minutes for it but they made it up by giving us free shots which was nice. I’d return with a smaller crowd and maybe sit by the bar instead.

The views are beautiful. The establishment was nice. Service took a while for everything; to come to our table, drinks and food. The drinks were decent but very pretty. The food was the worse part! The octopus that claim to be sushi grade is clearly frozen and too hard to eat. Our steak taste like it has been refrigerated for way too long the smell was very pungent. Unfortunately I don’t think I’d ever recommend dining here

Paying for the view, because the customer service was not good needs training. The food was not at its best- over salted! Reservations were made for a bday but we had to remind them of that. The utensils and glasses were very dirty, we even had to ask to change a plate. Beautiful place but needs strict management for better service and food.
