   Surprisingly good food. Not a huge menu, but what they have is executed very well. Clams were a huge surprise and totally delicious. Cauliflower tempura is perfect and crispy. Ribeye was huge and seared well, but over by one grade - recommend you under order your desired temp. Pork chop was tender and served in a velvety sauce (was it a demi glace?). I didn't prefer the pasta with pork belly, thought it needed more sauce even though it tasted fine as it was. Service was fine but not as attentive as you night want for fine dining. Given the setting, it was ok. The view of course was amazing but do expect lots of tourists with small children speaking loudly. Not a good option for a romantic quiet chat. That having been said, the prix fixe lunch was a pretty good value at $80pp. I think the dinner menu is identical, so at $150pp that's a bit pricey. Go for lunch up to 4om, and save yourself some money, plus you get to watch the sunset, then see the city in both day and night. You can stay as long as you wish after your meal. Remember to arrive at least 15-30 minutes before your reservation since you have to go through several lines, a 1 minute elevator ride, and a 2-minute movie before you actually can get into the restaurant. Go to the west entrance of the building, then head down the escalator to guest services where you get priority tickets to the observatory floor. You also have to go through an airport-style security checkpoint complete with xray and metal detector, so be careful what you're carrying. Overall,, this is definitely an experience i would recommend, even to a long time native New Yorker.

   Ho fatto una sorpresa a mio marito per i nostri 25 sani di matrimonio. Lo staff ci ha fatto trovare una cartolina di auguri al nostro tavolo, è stato un piccolo gesto molto carino che abbiamo apprezzato. Vista spettacolare, ottimo servizio e cibo di alta qualità. Da rifare . Super consigliato !

   Our reservation was 6pm and they give us table 6:35, we were waiting a long and they don’t have any seat to wait. The manager gave us attention and she was very friendly. The food is great and the ambiance is good.

   The ambiance was good, but it could have been great for New Year's Eve. We initially had to wait a bit between courses and for our waiter, and it was not crowded. A manager on duty talked to the two tables in front of us, and the one next to us, but she skipped us and never came over to ask how anything was. Of course, we are African American and the other diners were Caucasian. All in all, the food was delightful. The temperature of the seafood boullanaise should have been hotter, the Creme Brulee' could have been sweeter, and the puff pastry portion of the apple strudel could have been less soggy, but that's just my opinion. Overall, it was a very memorable experience and our waiter was a true gem. I would recommend this experience to others when visiting New York.

   We visited for NYE. Overall the experience was fantastic. The food and the view of NY was amazing! The only down side is the fact it is by the cafe and you can hear all the noise of people walking around downstairs. If it felt more exclusive it would be a 10/10 experience! Would 100% recommend though!

   The view was amazing. Of course, the service was good, the food took a little longer than we expected. Our waiter was very friendly and professional, the manager was nice. Took a picture for us made the moment even more memorable. If you haven’t gone you have to check it out.

   We had to wait over an hour for our main course while tables sat after us received their meals. When we received it, some of it was cold.
