We have reserved a place in the parapet and was regularly assigned to us as per reservation. The wonderful view of the Empire State Building. Just he felt the absence of a heating for the outside would have been pleasant. We were for my girlfriend's birthday. I recommend going there.

We went for drinks to see the Empire State Building after dark. Great view but even better was the sunset reflecting on the glass buildings you can see to the right. Drinks were pricey to a guy from Kansas but actually in line with everyone else in NYC. We had front row center seats and the view was amazing.

The views of the Empire State Building are amazing! The bacon wrapped shrimp was also fantastic. Everything else was just ok with the service coming in dead last. Lower your expectations and you’ll be fine. I’d come back to give them another chance to see if the review helps them improve in this area.
