    Definitely a good central spot to meet I had a couple of my colleagues who came from all 5 boroughs and The County for a meet a greet. The ambiance was good wish it had little more lighting for pictures. The food was pretty decent and the service was great. There is concern about the elevator it’s a bit too dark. For safety reason they should more light especially as this establishment serves alcohol. Overall is a good place to visit.

    Very disappointed seen videos on TikTok and was expecting pink flowers inside and more space outside. Came whilst visiting New York would have went somewhere else if known not all outside. Also low tables expected to eat brunch on so decided to only order a muffin have one drink and leave.

    They check you in downstairs, but when you get off the elevator and stand in the hallway, no one is there. You wait, ignored by every staff member who passes by. When you try to get their attention, they act like they don’t see you, too busy talking to each other. This goes on for about 20 minutes. Finally, you walk through on your own, noticing that one side has a party while the other side is empty. During that time, I ended up booking a new reservation somewhere else—which, by the way, is not easy on a Sunday night when you’re looking for a specific aesthetic. But I managed to find another rooftop that actually had a real kitchen open. My date and I walked back to the elevator, only to finally be told, “Goodnight,” by a random woman who appeared out of nowhere. I guess she was supposed to check us in initially, but at this point, it didn’t matter anymore.
