   Português Tive uma experiência terrível no Empire Rooftop em NY e preciso compartilhar. Fiz uma reserva com uma semana de antecedência, e o pagamento antecipado foi exigido. Quando cheguei ao local, nos colocaram em uma mesa alta logo na entrada de um bar fechado e informaram que o rooftop estava com um evento privado, ou seja, não teríamos acesso. Agora, me diga: qual é o sentido de reservar um "rooftop" e acabar preso em um bar comum e fechado? A sensação foi de total descaso com o cliente, sem nenhuma tentativa de solucionar a situação ou sequer um aviso prévio. Frustrante e desrespeitoso! English I had a terrible experience at the Empire Rooftop in NY, and I need to share it. I made a reservation a week in advance, and they required prepayment. When I arrived, they seated us at a high table right at the entrance of a closed bar and informed us that the rooftop was hosting a private event, so we wouldn’t have access. Now, tell me: what’s the point of booking a "rooftop" and being stuck in a regular closed bar? It felt like complete disregard for the customer, with no effort to resolve the situation or even provide prior notice. Frustrating and disrespectful!

   While signs of wear and tear are showing in the rooms embarrassingly so, the bar is a gem! Please make time to go the the twelfth floor and enjoy the this gem.

   Lovely spot, lounge vibes. Cocktails delish, food hit (burger sliders, fries, calamari) and miss (garlic shrimp- could have been amazing size of shrimp were big but topped with too much garlic ruined the dish).

We appreciate your feedback on the garlic shrimp, and we’ve discussed the garlic levels with our kitchen team to ensure a more balanced flavor in the future.

   This was the perfect spot for our girls night. The views, the drinks, the food, and Diego. Every bit of it was fantastic. We will be back, and we will be asking for Diego again!
