    Katherin C was our waiter. She was so lovely and attentive and made our anniversary dinner so special. But her interactions with other table were just as wonderful as ours. What a wonderful employee you have. The food was outstanding and the venue stunning with all the greenery and lights. Definitely worth a visit. Food was priced very affordably as well.

    Solid destination for Brunch with quick service and large portion sizes. Cocktails are well made and arrive quickly with a lot containing tequila if that’s your thing! Our drinks were served in plastic glasses/tumblers which for us was the difference in 4 or 5 stars. Overall, I’d definitely recommend and plan to go back.

    The Fleur Room is really a very pretty space and the floor to ceiling glass to look at the city is spectacular. We went there for happy hour on Friday and we were very excited about trying all the things in the happy hour menu. However the portions were really very small like two meatballs on a plate small and yes sure it was wagyu beef but still. So if you are like me and going for happy hour be prepared! Other than that the experience was delightful and made for a wonderful date night!

    I had been curious to try Penthouse on Park for some time, and am glad that I finally did. The space is beautiful and has the loveliest views. I sat in the lounge area - it was nice and comfortable. The guacamole tostada and hummus were both delicious. The mini lobster rolls were amazing. And the chocolate chip cookie sandwich was fantastic. My sever Kevin was terrific and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend.
