Someone here obviously thinks that a decent view justifies everything. The service is short and rather unfriendly. But the drinks are expensive, so expensive that you pay more for your drinks than in other sky bars in the middle of Manhattan. But then you also get the wine in plastic glasses! PLASTIC GLASSES! Who the hell drinks red wine out of plastic glasses? And the waiters charge a 20% tip for all this crap afterwards, without asking of course. So you pay almost 50$ for two mediocre drinks from plastic glasses. Absolutely no recommendation, especially because there are dozens of Sky Bars in the city that are much better!
It's a great place to go on a date business meeting and family dinner.. however they should make better drinks and add more on the menu! But it was a great vibe and beautiful view

We tried the Steak Tacos, Lobster roll, Guacamole and chips, octopus, Lamb chops and the rigatoni carbonara, The prices are on the high level but the quality is exceptional. Great cocktails as well and service was superb.

We saw their Instagram story that vista is starting a ladies night every Thursday so we decided to give it a shot with my girlfriends. We got very impressed ! First drink is on the house for all ladies ! super cool cocktails and fun ambiance, the food is so good here... from the tacos to lobster roll and burgers and yes they even have many main course choices such as filet mignon, lamb chops, delicious Carbonara , salmon and many more ! We cant wait return next Thursdays. Special thank to the new management !

I loved the place, it has a spectacular view and the service is excellent, I spent my birthday dinner very happy, the drinks and food were delicious, the waiters were very patient and pleasant, we were a large group with many requests and they agreed to all of them in a good way I would go back to this place a thousand times and I recommend it 100%.

Let's just say I am appaled, hurt, sad, frustrated and angry. We rented the lounge for my 60th Birthday party. It was a disaster. The room was tight. The manager sat about 10 people in our space making us cramped and tight. Like how could he?? It's like we paid for the entire lounge and he just want to make money at our expense. He should be fired!! My 60th Birthday was ruined because of his mismanagement. I was miserable the whole time. The food was not good, the seating was extremely tight and uncomfortable and I just wanted to drop everything and head home. I was humiliated and ashamed that I invited my family to something like this. I knew I can do better and I should not have chosen this place for a birthday dinner with 34 people. I will be humiliated for the rest of my life with this one. I am ashamed that I invited my loved ones there only to not get the service we paid for. This should not have happened. I am not happy with the Restaurant and management. Looks like all he cares about is making money and fitted 10 people in an already cramped space which ruined my 60th Birthday with Family. I am utterly saddened with the experience and will never set foot in this place again and I advise whoever is reading this not to do a party in the lounge. It was a bait and switch situation.

Completely and utterly disappointed by my mom's 60th birthday at Vista Sky Lounge. My mom was so excited to celebrate her birthday here. The manager, Frank, promised delicious food, a gorgeous view, an open bar, and a private room for our guests. While the food was okay, view and bar were all nice, the room was not private. To begin, the room was smaller than anticipated, but we felt as though we could comfortably dine in private with our family. However, the "private room" was overbooked with an 8 person party taking up 1/3 of the room, from before our event was supposed to begin, until the time it ended. The room became significantly more cramped than it would have been otherwise, and the clear discomfort of the other party put a huge damper on what would have otherwise been a nice event. Not only that, but the only way to access the bathrooms for the restaurant were through our private room, which meant more strangers were squeezing into the already cramped room. The manager, throughout our communications, seemed to be friendly and accommodating. To find out on the day of, with no prior mention, of another party in our private room was disrespectful, unacceptable, and a clear money grab. The food is okay, but the small, overbooked venue and shitty management left my mom and our guests uncomfortable and disappointed on her milestone birthday. Find another venue.
The staff was very friendly but this place focuses much more on catering and events. Plastic wine glasses and paper napkin were given to us. Bathrooms are either in the basement of the hotel 12 stories down or a makeshift hut on the roof. It was very loud due to the larger parties there. If you're looking for an event space it seemed like a decent choice but certainly not a nice night out for dinner.

We visited this awesome rooftop with our girlfriends for a drink just to catch up before we go out to the city, my Lord... this is place is booming so we end up staying here the entire night. Food is great here with a Greek twist and very authentic dishes, their new cocktails are just perfect but what impressed us is the personable and very hospitable service and hospitality from the staff as well from the new GM, ( I don't remember his name but the scar at his chick) which escalated our experience to the next level ! we can wait to return - the ambiance is fun with a European flair made us feel that we are away somewhere in the Greek islands - Thank you
Omg. I know it was a beautiful view of the city. But way way over price. Almost 15 dollars for a beer. Is a bar down the corner. They have beer for 6 or 8 dollars. Don't waste ur money here.
