   Overpriced for the quality of food we ordered. I feel like you pay more for the view and ambiance than anything else.

   Came in hungry left starving the food is not good at all and the only thing that is worth to order the (fries) get hard as a rock as soon as you get home. You can go there for the view and drinks other than that don’t do it!

   Overall experience here was great. We were able to sit outdoors on a nice day. Our server seemed less than excited to be serving us, did the bare minimum - no introduction, no review of the menu, just took our orders and brought the check. It’s always nice to find a waiter with a nice balance of checking in, politeness, minimal and appropriate small talk - he wasn’t it. Now on to the food! Get the Greek style chicken with fingerling potatoes - crispy skin, nicely seasoned….so good. The salmon my sister said was under seasoned. Zombie on water was a good drink, the bourbon tea was also not bad. I’d return again for that chicken and the ambiance.

   We sat outside. There is a beautiful view. Very kind servers and staff. We tuna tartare and shrimp for appetizers. Both were good. We had the sea bass and steak for our meals. The steak was over cooked and lacked flavor, the fish was good. Overall, nice time.

   Excellent food, busy Saturday service was sporadic due to volume of people we had a great night and would go back.

   Great date night place. View of NYC Skyline outdoor seating thats covered so it's not windy or chilly but you can open the doors if you want to. Food was amazing. Filet Mignon on point.

    Beyond disappointing! Arrived at 5:45 for our 6:00 reservation and our hostess was one of the only positives of our evening. We were seated right away and she was quite pleasant. Our waiter came to take our order and we ordered two drinks while we perused the menu. When he returned with our drinks, we ordered a dozen oysters while we continued to look over the rest of the menu. We were informed he could NOT place our in pieces and that it had to all be placed at one time. We were befuddled and a bit annoyed but complied. We ordered the oysters, two other apps and two entrees. While only half way thru the oysters, the two hot appetizers appeared. Now, I was really annoyed and I sent them back. Why were we being rushed? The restaurant was more than half empty. When we were finished the apps returned but they were cold. Great, so they took them away but clearly just let them sit somewhere and get cold…what’s the point???? Thankfully our entrees were fine & the banana bread dessert delicious. Also, if you are going to add a service fee to the check, you should inform your guests so that they don’t tip on top of it. Be up front and don’t hide it.

    The outdoor dining is causal (people were wearing shorts), but really not outdoor. The outdoor seating is technically inside located next to the bar with doors that open out allowing the fresh air to enter. The service is good as well as the food, but keep in mind they add 20% gratuity to the check. They have a nice view of NYC.

    The restaurant is beautiful! Windows all around with a great view of the water and the city. Wasn’t really drawn to the main dishes but the appetizers were amazing ! Would recommend getting a couple and sharing or eating as an entree. Service was ok. As an observant person I saw my family and I were not treated as special as the surrounding tables since tables were so close together. Nevertheless the service was still acceptable enough.

    I ordered a cod dish ate two fork fulls and told the waiter it was gross and I didn’t like it so he packed it up and handed it to me. $38 meal went in the garbage I worked at a restaurant for 15 years and this isn’t the standard when someone doesn’t like the dish. The cod was borderline raw

    We booked the restaurant for a lunch with my husband because we wanted to try a nice place with NYC view. The restaurant has a nice review on the Open Table app but I don’t understand why and how!!! Absolutely worst experience ever! Wasted money and time, never again! Food was terrible, expensive, the table unclean and the waiter absolutely unprofessional and rude. The best thing was the service fee 20% on the bill…ridiculous!!! I asked to waive the fee from our bill and the response was it’s holiday and it’s automatically charged instead of “ Why and what was wrong “. Very disappointed!

    2 Salads + 2 appetizer + 1 drink including a non negotiable gratuity charge added of 25% = $150.00. There are better places in the area to get a better value for the cost.

    Food was excellent! View was amazing! We had a rainy/cloudy evening, but this made the skyline interesting and unique. Rainbows and lightning in the sky-can't beat the Show. Service was good but waiter seemed less than enthused when engaging with us. All in all, Monday night, quiet night...GREAT birthday celebration with the Girls.

    This restaurant, highly and perhaps too popular. This has rendered the service poor and HURRIED. The staff, from the valet to the wait, appear to have had limited training in hospitality services. Physical plant of the restaurant has also not been optimally maintained. Signs showing Mother’s Day menu and 2-hour limit per table are placed on multiple entrance walls and fastened with tape, certainly not professional or sophisticated looking. Noise level, excessively high (outdoor seating not possible due to inclement weather) and the enclosed space; could not carry on a peaceful dinner conversation. Saving grace was the good quality of the cocktails and foods.

    Drinks were good and so was the service this time. However, the tuna tartare was not good and a medium filet was served a good medium well. The tuna tartare was like a dip served with fried wonton chips. Do not order that if you are looking for a nice fresh tuna tartare. Also, since when was gratuity automatically included for a table of 2??

    It was my second time here (its been seven years), so I knew the views were awesome and the restaurant itself has a great vibe. Had 8pm reservations this last Saturday night and was seated to left of the bar in these weird tables they must use for dinner then break down to make room around the bar once the dinner rush is over. If youre dining here with anyone elderly, note that the DJ spins on Saturdays and the music is kind of loud. Did not realize that or else we probably would not have come. Was a bit hard to hear one another and not great for anyone semi hard of hearing. We ordered drinks and needed some time to look over the very large menu. We decided on a few appetizers so when we tried to put those in before deciding on entrees, the server would not allow us to put the apps in without knowing the entree order at the same time. Sebastian is his name, and he said the kitchen needs to know everything at once - "thats just the way we work here". After reviewing the menu further, we realized we liked the appetizer options more than the entree options so we opted for a few appetizers for the table to spit- tapas style! The server let us know- well if youre going to do that, you must get AT LEAST 2 appetizers each, also please note its a two hour max at this table. I just checked, and nowhere on the website does it say this 2 appetizer max nonsense- I think the server just made that up on the spot. We said, well if we want 5 appetizers between the 3 of us then want some entrees after the fact -thats not allowed? He said nope- they need to know our entire order at once. We opted for 6 appetizers for the 3 of us to keep within their "rules". Our food came out in under 10 minutes which felt so rushed. Makes me wonder how this food is made. Food was alright, I would say average. Honestly, I was still hungry and would have gladly ordered more food but felt like I was not allowed- at that point I couldn't be bothered to give this place any more of my money/time.
