    The food was delicious! It came out quick, it was nice and warm, and the service was great. I had the sea bass and my nephew had the stuffed salmon. We both really enjoyed our meals and drinks.

    Celebrating new year’s dinner here. The menu selection was awesome. The staff and hostess were professional and friendly. Got a couple cocktails and were very good. Ordered the Mediterranean Octopus for a starter. It was fresh and delicious with a tad bit spicy. Had a 10oz Creekstone steak which is halal steak that they have. It was cooked as requested. Absolutely delicious. The siide dishes of roasted brussel sprouts however was salty, same as the frites. Somehow they were a little too salty. Also ordered japanese sweet potatoes which absolutely great and flavorful. Finished off with the expresso cream brulè and it was an indulgence. RPM Steak is great upscale dining for special occasions.

    Sofi is in my neighborhood and is always my ‘go to’ restaurant for special occasions. Each and every one of the staff could not be more welcoming and charming. Sevan took impeccable care of our merry group of five. He’s Italian. He said he learned ‘American Italian’ by watching The Sopranos which really made us laugh-an excellent aid to digestion. The food was scrumptious, the wine outstanding, the service spot on. I would eat at Sofi every night if I wouldn’t be as big as a house doing so. Thank for a wonderful evening!

    My partner and I enjoyed a delicious and unhurried meal here last night. Elsa was our server and she helped to make our entire experience memorable. She carefully explained the evening's specials and answered our questions. We started with the calamari. It was a generous portion and quite tasty. However, the real "gem" was the 8 oz filet. We both ordered one and each one was cooked to perfection. While enjoying coffee at the end of the meal we decided to try the mile high chocolate cake. It was outstanding but be warned: the slice is enough for four or five people! If you are looking for a truly relaxing dining experience, then Rosebud Rosetta Italian is your place to go. Be sure to request Elsa too.

    Outside of the fortress process of getting up to the 67th floor, it was excellent service, extremely personable staff, a stunning view amongst the most delicious meal. We got the oysters, lobster bisque was seriously AMAZING, the prime rib with mashed potatoes and mushrooms. All of it was very tasty and the peanut butter espresso martini was an amazing dessert cocktail
