    Go for drinks before or after dinner, not really a place to eat or have a conversation in a bigger crowd

    We had a nice experience with great views. Wonderfully crafted cocktail menu and small bites. Seating allows everyone a nice view of the city. We did look around but no curiosities or art details that were in the description were found. We were having a great time until the waitress forced us to close out our bill in the middle of eating without reason, which was awkward and made us feel like we had to leave. Other guests were still arriving and ordering food so we were just confused. Other than that, it was a nice place to try.

    Beautiful location at the top of an historical skyscraper with amazing views. Happy hour was a great value in NYC. Staff were welcoming attentive and did not rush our experience. We were sat unfortunately next to a loud group of young professionals bent on discussing their business loudly with far too many expletives without pause. Otherwise the food and drinks were delicious and we enjoyed our visit.

    The setup was the a major issue, the tables were low to the floor and the seating arrangements were awkward to the say the least. I will say our server was the highlight of the night very attentive. As the food goes it was ok nothing over the top. The French onion slides were great, as well as the lobster Mac and cheese. The steak bites were boring and didn’t have anything remarkable to talk about. The lamb chomps were fine but the sauce was not for me I would recommend getting it on the side so you can gauge if that’s for you or not.
    OpheliaResponded on February 16, 2025
    Hi Stephon, We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you found our server attentive. We're sorry to hear that the setup and seating arrangements didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide comfortable and enjoyable dining experiences for all our guests, and your feedback helps us in that process. We're also glad to hear that you enjoyed our French onion sliders, lobster mac and cheese, and steak bites. However, we regret that the lamb chops and the steak sauce didn't hit the mark for you. Your feedback is valuable to us and we will take it into consideration as we continually strive to improve our offerings.
