    We enjoyed a wide variety of foods, starting with the spicy edamame with Peruvian corn which was outstanding. The snapper with the chimichurri sauce was a special and was outstanding. We did the sashimi and sushi plates and added on some rolls. We also had the miso black cod, which we would highly recommend.

    Very cool upscale concept. Was decorated beautifully. The food was cooked to perfection. Loved the eggplant I highly recommend. Also ordered a tomahawk steak flavor was so good. One suggestion would be take crispy bits off the tomahawk. It’s presentation would be better. Would definitely return!

    There was a slight delay to opening but once open , we were welcomed with festive cheer, and were guided to seat by the window. The panoramic view of New York City was breathtaking. The service and the food were both amazing and considering that we had purchased a package, we were very surprised that we were able to select from the full menu and found that this was remarkably good value for money. The menu offered a a small but very delicious selection for what I would imagine would suit most people‘s taste. In our case, they very good at accommodating a peanut allergy. We elected to purchase additional sides of vegetables to accompany our meals, and highly recommend the carrots, they were amazing, as were the truffle fries. The Barman was sensational & created delicious cocktails - I enjoyed the Manhatten Mule. The atmosphere in One Dine was very happy and upbeat considering it was Christmas Eve however, for our family, we were also able to use it as a time of reflection. My family and I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy the experience of dining at One Dine at the One World Observatory.
