    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.
