    Ascent lounge was a great experience. We were there in the early evening so it wasn’t crowded. Diana was our server and did a great job. The view is spectacular and the space is beautiful. We will be back.

    Wonderful time at a beautiful lounge. The atmosphere is relaxing, drinks are excellent, and the hostesses are great. Another great night in a great space. Highly recommended if you solo, on a date, adult family or friends or business.

    Everything was wonderful about the restaurant, the staff, and the service. It was just my date that was a jerk. But you guys made the experience good despite that.

    Wonderful time with fantastic hosting by Mila (not sure I’ve spelled properly) but she was amazing, attentive. Once my party grew in size were moved to larger space and under the care of Sarah who also hosted us so well. Ascent is always a great place to chill and vibe with my wife and with friends. It was also really great to see “J” there and now in the management role. We can’t recommend Ascent enough. Give it a try.

    I had a wonderful experience at Ascent Lounge. Their service was quick and the view from the window is beautiful. This is a good place to stop by if you are in the mall at Columbus Circle. I had a nice time sitting and looking out the window while having a cocktail.
