    This was an amazing experience! My wife and I decided to spend our 4 year anniversary here and they were more than fantastic! From the vibes of the space to the impeccable service, they continued to make us feel like royalty throughout the night! As a surprise for our anniversary they sent to the table a shot glass sprinkler fountain which was a huge highlight of the night! Thank you all so much! We will definitely be coming back!

    Our waitress helps everyone but our table. Had to ask two times for straws. Ask for re fill on soda and never got it. Waitress spent more time talking to one guy who works there than attending tables. Had to eat food in my lap because the table was a small bench table. In order to get high top you needed 5 or more people. Will never go there again

    We were not notified that the crookie is not “in season” until the end of the meal. I pre ordered them 2-3 weeks ago. This would have changed where we ate because most things on this menu have common allergens which is annoying for people with food sensitivities and allergies. My friend’s food came over 30 minutes late after ours. The waitress kept saying it’ll come out in 5 minutes. Two of us had to get up to ask her because she was inattentive. And not being told ahead of time about the 2 crookie reservations along with the fact that I clearly marked on the reservation that we were celebrating two birthdays and nothing was done. Not notifying a party about this inconvenience and further inconveniencing us with inattentive service is wild. We will not be returning here.

    We loved having Easter brunch with you guys! The place is outstanding for the views and the setup is so cool. We were all impressed! The food was so good, and the frozen espresso martini was delish. Paula (hope I spelled this right!) took such great care of us, she was outstanding, THANK YOU! We loved the rooftop and will be back for Easter brunch next year!! Music was awesome as well, such a great vibe....from 11 years old to 82, we all loved dining with you! THANK YOU!

    LOUD. Barely-there service. Drinks in plastic cups. Overpriced (but it’s NYC). Decent tacos.

    They no longer have all the pink Decor and that was why we went. Food was average , service was ok , waitress never came back to check on us and had to flag her down to get our check. You are seated at tables that are coffee table height so you have to bend over to eat your food. Very uncomfortable way to eat. Would skip this now that they no longer have the fun decor as there are way better places for brunch in the city

    Hi Stacey. We appreciate your feedback on our decor and the seating arrangement. You're right — our seasonal pink decor is no longer up, and we understand that may have been a letdown. We hope you'll consider visiting again soon to check out our summer botanical theme and new cocktails!
