Un poco ruidoso, pero la comida bastante buena (los pretzel bites y el humus nos encantaron) y el servicio muy atento. Celebrábamos un cumpleaños y nos regalaron un trozo de tarta con su bengala. Buenas vistas al Empire State. Muy recomendable.
Refinery RooftopResponded on March 17, 2025
¡Gracias por tu maravillosa reseña! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste la comida, especialmente los pretzel bites y el hummus, y que el servicio fue atento. Nos encanta que tu celebración de cumpleaños fuera especial y que las vistas al Empire State añadieran un toque único a la experiencia. ¡Esperamos verte de nuevo pronto! Cheers, Stephen
