    Second time I attempted to come here with a reservation and it was closed for a private event & I only found out once I arrived and found a paper on the door saying it was a private event.

We understand how frustrating this is and will be addressing this issue internally to prevent it from happening again. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Sincerely, Stephen

    The restaurant was apparentlly closed for a special event BUT still accepted reservations (from us and many others). We showed up and were turned away at the door. Absolutely unacceptable.

    My friends and I went to The Glass Ceiling Rooftop for brunch on a Sunday. Every staff member we interacted with was kind and welcoming. We ordered the purse drink but they were out of one of the ingredients used to make it - the waiter took the time to walk us through the other options and ensure we were satisfied with what we were ordering instead (just got a different drink in the purse). The atmosphere was fun, with modern pop music playing at the perfect volume. The food was delicious! One of my friends was given the wrong order, but this was promptly dealt with and her meal was free. I would definitely go again - it's a great spot for a fun brunch.

    One of the best features that they advertise is that it’s a glass top ceiling. It is a ceiling that you look through, which is not really clear. The noise volume was high, but the main reason that I have well actually there’s two it is advertised as of a nice place for dinner it does not it is more like something you would get at a bar. We had to send our food back for one of us. The other thing is the restroom which was the worst I’ve ever seen the line was extremely long because it’s two shared restrooms. They were filthy, overflowing with trash, and there was even toilet paper that had been drugged out into the hallway that remained there was staff and walked back-and-forth . With those issues it didn’t really feel like a date night to remember.

    Dined in at Glass Door Rooftop for a girls brunch while visiting NYC for the weekend. The ambiance was lovely! The music was an added surprise and really added to the vibe of the brunch. The creme brûlée French toast was some of the best French toast I’ve ever had!
