   Outstanding service, setting, libations & ambiance. Offering a top notch background of the basilica, with a fantastic view of the rest of the city it was great for a final dinner in Budapest before departing. Food stayed true to the nature of Magyar cuisine while still maintaining a modern personalized touch. 10/10 would go again.

   Wonderful experience and best views of the city. Excellent service and food. Largest menu of drinks we have ever seen. Pricey but well worth it.

   The ambiance at the High Note Sky Bar was wonderful, and the wine was absolutely delicious. From the moment we arrived to the time we paid, the service was consistently good—attentive and professional. The view was simply breathtaking and definitely one of the highlights of the experience. The only thing I would have wished for was a better selection of seating options. Overall, a great place to enjoy a special evening in Budapest

   We didn’t have the food here, we came for the cocktails and the view- neither disappointed. The service was fantastic, what a lovely team. The cocktails - we had the signature music based ones were very very good. Top quality cocktails.

   Beautiful location with a stunning backdrop of the clock and rooftop of St Stevens Basillica. Must visit! Attentive staff, and an inventive cocktail menu. The food menu was relatively small, although the selection was very balanced. Would’ve been nice to see another vegetarian main, however the dishes we ordered were perfect. Cooked very well, plated stunningly. Overall a great experience, and we are looking to visit again this week because we enjoyed it so much. Thank you to all at High Note for a lovely evening!

   The setting is undeniably beautiful, but unfortunately, the service was terrible. We waited a long time before anyone came to take our drink order—and that only happened after I started walking toward the bar. While the drinks and olives arrived quickly and were enjoyable, some of the olives were mouldy. The rest of our food didn’t arrive until after we’d asked for the bill, which we were also left waiting a very long time for. There is both a food service charge and a drinks service charge, neither of which felt justified given the overall experience. A disappointing visit, despite the lovely setting.

   Dear Sadie Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing, as this is not the level of service we aim to provide. On the day of your visit, we had nearly 500 guests, which unfortunately put unexpected strain on our operations. However, we recognize that this should not affect the quality of service you receive. To improve, we are implementing staff time management training to ensure smoother service, even during peak times. Additionally, we are reviewing our quality control processes, especially regarding the olives, to prevent similar issues in the future. We sincerely hope you will give us another opportunity to offer the exceptional service and experience we are truly known for. Kind Regards Csaba Palfi Assistant Director of F&B

   It was very nice place with a spectacular view indoors and outdoor I think that was a little bit expensive

   Unfortunately, the waiter brought us the wrong order twice—I suppose he’s not very confident with the English language. The food was good, but the portions were very small considering the price. Moreover, we waited about an hour just for the food, even though the place wasn’t full. Cocktails are also quite expensive, even for something standard like a Negroni. Overall: expensive, long wait, nice location.

   Dear Simone Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the mix-up with your order. One of our new colleagues mistakenly swapped the table numbers, which confused. We will focus on improving communication and training to prevent this in the future. Regarding portion sizes, our bar food offerings are smaller and designed for sharing, not meant to be compared with main course portions. Thank you for understanding this matter. We also acknowledge your concerns about the wait time and pricing. We are reviewing our processes to improve service speed. As for the cocktails, we use high-quality ingredients, which reflect in our pricing, though we understand it may not suit everyone. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards, Csaba Pálfi

    Absolutely amazing experience. With high expectations you often feel disappointed. Not the case this time. Every aspect was a 10 out of 10!
