Great spot with spectacular views of Central Park and Midtown. The Host and manager was so sweet and accommodating and set us up. We also received a complimentary glass of Prosecco. We enjoyed our snacks of Charcuterie board and veggie spring rolls and the service was attentive and friendly. They had a DJ and the music adds to the ambience. Mixed crowd but mostly on the young side. Really pretty hotel with clean bathrooms.

Expected more from a place like this. The view was meh, mainly because of the plastic windows that they have, which makes the view blurry. The drinks are too pricey.

A bit pricy but I guess you pay for the view… would extend a food menu a little bit.. But overall great experience and waiter was very nice.

Very beautiful view

Beautiful view! Would be even better if there wasn’t plastic walls for the view, saying that a fine balance between view and warmth. Make sure you have a booking and expect a 90 minute seating. Though they were flexible for us. Great

I've been here several times in different seasons and times of day. We love this place! Upscale, eclectic, great vibe! Fabulous views overlooking Central Park. Being on the 47th floor, I was super happy they had the option of thick clear plastic coverings to help with winds and cold temps! Great evening ambiance!

I've wanted to come here for so long! I just didn't have a reason to because we don't usually hang out in midtown. When our DJ friends announced they were playing here, I was excited for the opportunity to check it out!Settled on the 47th floor, you need to take the elevator to 46th and take the stairs to 47th, it's a cute walkway. As you get to the top, you're greeted by their host/hostesses, I had made reservations and specifically noted to be seated closest to the DJ booth to watch our friends play (I honestly wasn't sure if they would see the note or be able to do it, but I tried). I think they saw the note because the host/hostesses were super accommodating, I'm really appreciative that they were able to get me that table (?) which made for such a better experience than I imagined. It's also probably luck and we got there an earlier hour too.We started at the bar first with a drink while we waited for the table to become available. We didn't have to wait long and got seated next to the DJ booth in the terrace. What I really wanted to see were the beautiful views of Central Park. Of course it was already night, but you can still see the surrounding areas of Central Park South, East and West sides which were still amazing.We only tried a few drinks on their menu (no food as we had dinner before coming, but it looked and smelled good!): Darling Unlimited, The Isadora and Here Comes Trouble, all delicious. I also asked for an Espresso Martini not on the menu but also delicious.Overall we had a great time, more friends and fans of the DJs came later in the night, which made for a fun atmosphere.We will be back when it's lighter out, so we can see the views during the day. Shout out to the wonderful staff!(See Photos section for pictures)

During my recent visit , I witnessed an unsettling scene involving a man who initially seemed like a security guard but later turned out to be the manager . I witnessed an uncomfortable scene where the manager was demeaning towards a server , he was extremely agitated and clearly frustrated and vigorously touching his face all while he yelled at this server this expereince was to public and a little to close for my comfort .

I came here with a friend to get drinks on a Wednesday night. The view, which overlooks Central Park, is incredible. If you can stand paying through the nose for food/drinks and the incredibly loud music, then I'd recommend coming here.

If you're disabled or have trouble going up and down stairs, consider another venue. Wonderful, roof-top, (covered and heated during winter months) ambiance for a drink or two and conversation with your closes friends. Drinks were amazing and the food, while a bit pricey, were really good. Great place before heading out to the NYC nightlife or after dinner drinks.

We booked a reservation for 11pm and as soon as we were seated, we were told there are no cocktails available as the bar is closed. It would have been great to be notified of this prior to being seated, especially since a credit card is required to reserve your seating. Our party felt rushed out with minimal service and one drink was not received. I will not return here again
