The hostess gave us the worst seats in the room even though the place was not full. We indicated we were celebrating a 25th anniversary on our reservation but it was not acknowledged. In addition to the worst seat, we were assigned a waitress that had only been on the job for 2 days, could not answer our questions and did not speak so you could hear here. Food and drinks were good.

we came here after the broadway show, and although a great ambiance, it seemed very all over the place, a) we weren't given flatware for our food selections, a) was randomly asked for a card to open a tab in the middle of the meal, c) never asked for dessert, then we asked about was told "oh the kitchen already called last call", but we were never told.

I celebrated my birthday with my sisters and we absolutely loved the ambience, food, and the staff was amazing. The staff were so friendly, professional, and simply pleasant. It’s a great place to entertain with a small group of ppl for drinks and appetizers. The food is bite size and tasty. Do not expect a full course meal. Enjoyed myself. The view is awesome too!

Expensive, but not much more than comparable venues. Food is excellent but particularly expensive. Cocktails are comparable to other very good venues. Ambience is wonderful, especially because of the tremendous views of Columbus Circle and Central Park. Service was good but actually too fast - servers put down drinks or food and vanished before we could make another request! That was especially peculiar because we were there between 6 and 7:30pm, pre-concert, and the very large space was nearly empty. I would definitely go there again.

A mouse (our mice) running around ended the evening early for me. There was 2 sightings so was not sure if the same mouse or more than one. The ambience is dimly lit - so they were having a party. It was also too dark corridor to bathroom - that I could not find it and asked the host which was the ladies room. Also had a bathroom with attendant with an attitude and understandably hates her job, so she should get another one. It is hard to erase this experience - sadly I do not think I will go back.
