    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!

    Magic Hour is a really nice rooftop ! I had a great time with my ladies! A great girls night out! Drinks to me were a bit watered down. Definitely wish they had more food options for dinner/late night! But otherwise, music was good, everyone just had a good time!

    Thanks for the feedback, Danyale! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your ladies' night out! We look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable experiences!

    Truly magical! The excitement builds as you ascend to the 18th floor of the Moxy Hotel, and when you step off the elevator, you've been transported to a whimsical and stylish space. Wonderful views of the Empire State Building and other high-rises to enjoy with delicious food and drinks. It was the perfect spot before walking to Madison Square Garden for the Kylie Minogue Tension Tour 2025.

    Made the booking for post show, nowhere did it mention when food stopped serving. We were seated, made our food and drinks order. Five minutes later the server came out to say she didn’t look at the time and the kitchen was closed. Really disappointing service - no comms about menu availability or time limit at booth by or on menu. We had to go to a fast food chain up the street to eat. I had been here before but can’t see me returning or recommending
    Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & LoungeResponded on April 17, 2025
    Thanks for visiting us, Roisin. It's disappointing to hear that our communication about the kitchen hours was not up to par. We understand how frustrating it must have been for you to wait for your food without knowing when it would be served. We appreciate your feedback and will discuss this with our team to ensure it doesn't happen again.
