    Highly recommend this for the view, ambience and service. Great bar and self service was also easy. The view at this place is stunning. There are mocktails on the menu too. I was not a big fan of the bourbon sour cocktail but not the bartender's fault there. Got one mocktail and one cocktail. Both drinks came out to be 35$ without tip. I'd love to try the outdoor seating during the warmer weather.

    The views are amazing. I had 2 drinks here. The first one was not good (hibiscus mojito) but the second one was. This is a great spot on a nice day. Great rooftop views with the option to sit outside. There is also a small food menu. If not at a reserved table you have to go to the bar and place your order. Bartender wasn't the friendliest.

    Cute bar with some good views. Service is unfortunately quite slow. Drinks were good. We were able to walk in without a reservation.

    This is a nice roof top bar. Staff are friendly and the place is clean. The tables lean over a bit and it's tilted or leans. Staff were attentive. Drinks were okay. There are so many nice places in New York City that I am not sure if I will recommend. If you're staying at the hotel, it's a nice spot.

    Def a good place for some drinks and some appetizers and don't forget the views whether you are indoor or outdoor seating. I would definitely make sure to book a reservation if you do want outdoor seating though!

    Place was pretty inside but we wanted to sit outside because of the view and also because the AC must have not been working because it was uncomfortable and warm inside. But since they had a private party we had no choice but to sit inside . We ordered tacos and guacamole and chips . The chips never came, but they put them on our bill . The drinks were good , and ambience was nice .

    Wanted to check out the rooftop bar while staying ay the hotel. I didn't have reservations but they ask you if you are a guest at the hotel. When I went on a Friday night, for hotel guests they had either seating inside or standing room outside. I decided to sit inside, and got seated by the windows with views of the Empire State Building. I've been to a few rooftops with views of the Empire State Building and I think this was the best view so far. Inside seating is where you're closest to it, I don't think you can see the same views from the outside patio as it faces the opposite direction. My party who were visiting from out of state were delighted too. Got the mojito and the spicy margarita cocktails. Mojito was light and refreshing, spicy margarita was stronger. Got some guac and chips and the mushroom empanadas. Our server was super nice and got us more guac after we finished our first bowl (it was a tiny bowl of guac and a giant bowl of chips). Food was pretty basic, drinks were good, views were great, I'd say check it out if especially if you're staying at the hotel.

    Ambiance: 5 STARS it's dark and moody with great music playing. The music isn't too loud so you can still have conversations with your table SERVICE: 5 STARS Our server was really friendly and made great recommendations. Drinks came out in a timely manner DRINKS: 5 STARS So many to choose from depending on what type of liquor you're in the mood for. I ended up trying a few. Each one was very delicious. Golden Hour: 5 STARS had both tequila and mezcal with a bit on ginger and honey. Nice balance of Smokey, sweet and acidic. Spicy Mezcal Paloma: 4.5 STARS like a regular Paloma BUT better!! Sonora: 4 STARS The mezcal overpowered this one but it was still very enjoyable! If you have a chance to check it out definitely a good place to catch the sunset and enjoy some delicious cocktails. They also offer food but we had already had dinner for the night.

    The only reason Bar Cima is getting a star or two is the view, which is also just sort of awesome. Nebulez or even the Kitano is better. I can't tell you if the drinks are good because after a half hour of waiting, they still never showed up. They only have a thimble of hummus or eggplant if you want something to nosh on and if you do get the hummus, it's those stone pita things from the store, straight outa the fridge cold. The place feels like it's just too close to Bryant to be good or something. Go to the Elsie nearby if you're in this area and want a rooftop... the views not as good at the Elsie, but the place is big and they have better service. Not a place I need to try again, no reason (although I am bummed they never brought me the Oaxacan old fashion Probably awesome. Trash service, and/or poor management/staffing, I dnno; either way a big fail. Midtown is so much worse off with this waste of good real-estate. I'll be nice now; I enjoyed the music, the place was nice, it's atop the Grayson hotel, and the positive reviews of the place all got better service than we did by far.

    I had a blast at Bar Cima. I came here on a first date. Their service was exceptional they constantly checked up on us to see if we needed anything else. The view of the Empire State Building was fantastic seeing the colors change every couple of minutes. I liked their cocktails and the cheese and mushroom quesadillas. 10/10 rooftop experience. Great location for a date night or drinks with a friend.

    Beautiful lounge space in the rooftop of the Grayson hotel. Great views and vibes. Our group did a walk in and were fortunate to get seated immediately. As the night progressed, the seats filled up quickly. We all enjoyed a cocktail each - from their classic cocktails menu, Cima innovations (originals), and requests. I thoroughly enjoyed my cocktail, the Cima Special. It was a mezcal-based drink. The smokiness paired well with the citrusy, fruity notes from the pineapple and lime and the kick of spice from the chile and tajin. The service was mediocre - only came over to take our orders but never came back to refill our waters. We did have to flag down a waiter/waitress twice to get our bill. Not a huge issue since we were enjoying the drinks, each other's company, and was not in a hurry.

    We were staying at the Grayson Hotel and had some property credit so decided to grab some drinks at Bar Cima. It was raining so we didn't check out the patio but the indoor space was pretty small and the view wasn't so great because our table wasn't by the window. The service was alright but the drink menu was disappointing. I like trying each bar's own crafted cocktails and I usually go for either a gin or a rum base cocktail but most of their drinks were mezcal, tequila, and whiskey base, leaving me with barely any option. When I was checking in at the hotel, the receptionist told me the Bar Cima is known for tequilas but I just found out that it's a tequileria. We didn't like the drinks and the vibe here so we ended up leaving quickly.

    If you love mezcal this is the spot for you! Try their mezcal tasting ! Super cool! Such a vibe here too!

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

That's a good thing to be very strong for that price I'm paying. The spam musubi was also a rip-off. You see two here, but each one costs its own $10, so save your money. Eat somewhere else.

We started off by ordering the Welcome Drink which is a bit if an aperitif and "gets your palette" so to speak. It was light, fruity, and a nice way to start the night. My first drink was the Adulting and they present it with a spritz if irange blossom. It is definitely a sipping drink due to the 14yr Balvenie. My second drink, Omija, was a lighter drink comparatively. The clarified yogurt gave it a bit of sweetness most Yakult drinkers are familiar with. My partner had both the 5th Ave and Iced Latte. Fair warning on the latte as the oat milk topping has a bit of a jelly consistency. It wasnt unpleasant but was a bit if a surprise when we went for an initial sip.

Our waitress was really nice and the service was so quick! First and foremost if I had to describe our brunch in one word it would be FLAVOR! Everything I ate had such a bold flavor to it. I'll start with the side of bacon, this had such a beautiful smoky flavor like it had been smoked all morning and was the perfect level of crisp and melt in your mouth. Next is the chicken and waffles. Normally this is just some chicken fingers on a waffle but not here! This was an actual piece of chicken that was seasoned and cooked with an amazing breading, juicy and delicious! The waffle had the perfect cook with crisp but not cutting your gums up in your mouth and with the butter and syrup it soaked up for a nice bite. Where I think the star was lost for us is on the avocado toast, while it was delicious with the jammy egg, there was too much avocado for the bread and the lime/citrus flavor took away from the natural flavor of the avocado spread. Guava juice with redbull was great and they gave us ice on the side for our drinks which isn't typical at a lot of NY restaurants.

In addition we ordered oysters, chicken nuggets, and wagyu sliders, which we were shortly told they were out of oysters.
