    Lovely view of the Empire State Building, food was yummy, we went at the weekend so I could take my teen girls. They found it very loud. Music was good fun though. Nice vibe. Very low tables to eat at….

    Fun, up-beat environment! The kitchen was closed when the website said it would still be open, so we could not try food.

    The guy running the door outside was very hateful. He was yelling and cussing at staff members and yelling at the customers coming in. This really put a damper on the whole experience. The food was pretty decent. The atmosphere was beautiful but the seating was pretty uncomfortable. Benches and stools. Our waitress was very sweet.

    You’ll need to keep in mind that the place isn’t a top pick for dining. The bar bites are decent, but it is more of a choice for cocktails. The cocktails were outstanding! The seating isn’t ideal with bench seats and coffee tables. I was a bit disappointed with the terrace. People leave their trash behind and the pink statues are not in great shape. The tail of one of the statues has been broken and some of the others have places worn through the paint where people touch them. The shrubs are hilarious and the view from the terrace of the Empire State Building is gorgeous!
