This season of my life, I'm traveling and saying yes to every chance to jet‑set, hop on a train, or chase a new skyline. Staying at the 1 Hotel comes with its perks, and as a proud hotel snob, I have no problem investing in luxury... though this time, I didn't have to. I was invited and I happily accepted. Harriet's Rooftop is in the 1 Hotel and sits right next to the pool, so the crowd is a fun mix of people dressed like they're shooting a campaign and people who clearly just wandered over from their lounge chairs. The place is known for attracting stars, and they delivered; Kevin O'Leary was sitting right in front of me, taking pictures of the view like the rest of us. And honestly, who could blame him? The views are stunning. Service was okay; you have to be escorted up by the hostess if you're not a guest, if you're a guest you have key access; once you're on the roof, it feels like the pool staff is running the show. What didn't make sense was how many empty tables there were while they sat everyone practically elbow‑to‑elbow. Service missed the mark for a place aiming at luxury. In the kind of restaurants I frequent, an empty glass is whisked away with the speed of a magician's trick. Instead, our plates and cups lingered at the table, relaxing right alongside us as if they, too, had paid for the experience. I asked to move upon being seated, and they did accommodate, but they easily could've placed us at the waterfront table since those "reserved" guests never arrived. Still, the food was surprisingly very good, and although there's a per‑person minimum, two drinks and an entrée will get you there without trying. This is not a cheap outing, and the crowd reflects that. Everyone is in designer everything (quiet luxury but if you know, you know), and the wrist game is elite. Not just Rolex; the Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille kings were outside. You go Kings. Harriet's is a vibe...luxury, views, people‑watching, and a sprinkle of celebrity energy. Come dressed, come hungry, and come ready to enjoy the moment. Let's get into it! Frozen Watermelon Margarita - UMMMM yes. A cool, seductive little tease in a glass, smooth, refreshing, and way too easy to get attached to. I was ready for another, but my waitress slipped away like a secret. Jalapeño Margarita - A soft, intentional heat. The kind that warms you slowly, not all at once. Rock Shrimp - Big portion, light spice, and honestly came out like it knew it was fine. Bold, confident, and ready to be admired. Baked Crab Roll - The star. Warm, rich, decadent; the roll that doesn't ask for attention because it naturally commands it. Dumbo Roll - A reliable shrimp tempura moment that hit every note it was supposed to. Oysters - Fresh, briny, and gone before I even realized how much I wanted more. A true blink‑and‑you‑miss‑it situation. Overall, the food was giving chemistry, the drinks were giving "come closer," and the service was giving "I'll circle back eventually." But that Baked Crab Roll? I'd return for that one like it left something on my mind. Lots of hits, a few misses. However, yes to Harriet's every time I'm in Brooklyn! read more

Our organization hosted an event at Harriet's Rooftop Restaurant & Bar at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. During the sales process, I made it abundantly clear that we would only move forward if we could be placed in one of the rooftop spaces with views of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge--not the Liberty space. I was assured this request would be accommodated. Upon arrival, however, we discovered that we had been assigned to the Liberty space, the one area I specifically said would not meet our needs. When I raised the issue, management offered no meaningful solution. A simple request to allow our guests access to a small section for photographs was flatly denied. Rather than attempting to resolve a problem that originated within their own organization, the management team seemed focused on explaining why nothing could be done. Merle, the Director of Banquets and Events, was professional and courteous and made an effort to help, but others in management showed little interest in accommodating a client who had invested significantly in food, beverage, and event space. What made the experience even worse was the complete lack of follow-up. Despite multiple managers being involved that evening, days passed without a single phone call, email, or acknowledgment from anyone in leadership. Only after I sent a detailed email outlining my concerns and copied the area manager did I receive a response from Murat Erbil, the Area Director of Restaurants, Nightlife, and F&B Operations. Unfortunately, his response was dismissive and portrayed the situation as though the team had done everything possible to accommodate us, which was simply not true. At no point did anyone acknowledge the breakdown in communication that led to the issue or take ownership of the fact that reasonable accommodations were available but intentionally denied. I oversee more than 50 events nationwide each year and work with venues across the country. Rarely have I encountered a venue so unwilling to make even the smallest accommodation to address its own mistake. Better communication and a genuine commitment to customer service could have made all the difference. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to Harriet's Rooftop or conducting future business with 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Event planners and organizations looking for a venue should understand that the promises made during the sales process may not reflect the experience they ultimately receive. read more

Gorgeous ambiance and view, but the service was seriously lacking. So slow and our waitress basically disappeared after taking our order. The food was really good. It also fills up FAST, we got there right when it opened and it became busy very quickly. Love the allergen/dietary indicators on the menu. read more

What are the odds that I show up the day? They're having an Apperal spritz pop-up and a DJ! This place was such a cool vibe. I'm so glad we actually arrived there around 3 o'clock because by 5 o'clock it was packed and you couldn't find a seat anywhere. It's a good little pop in if you're walking around Dumbo and wanna have a few drinks or get a good view of the city, but please type it correctly because again it can't get really really packed up there and make sure you go into the right entrance. There are a few ways to get up to the top. I will definitely be back. Thanks for the free drink drinks! read more

Harriet's Rooftop - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Here to leave an honest review. Not sure what people expect at a popular Premier located rooftop bar... but no matter the city LA, Miami, Vegas those spaces are never going to give you white glove service unless you are spending top dollar, so people should manage their expectations. I recently went back a week ago for above 10. Yes, it was very crowded but still a very enjoyable event. People should try not to make bartenders' lives harder than they already are dealing with a bunch of drunk people on a Saturday evening. I think management here is great though. I brought my Mom for 4th of July and one of the managers was so kind he really helped us out a lot. It was really appreciated. I don't know his name..Ron, Rich or Reg something like that not sure but he was super nice. The service at Barbuto was great. One carribean to another, thank you whoever you are, it was really appreciated! Sometimes the kindness of strangers, especially on one of the busiest nights of the year, has a lasting impact. -Dominique read more

Harriet's Rooftop - Fireworks on the 4th - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First date at Harriets. This gentleman was clearly one with taste for the finer things in life. Reservations required to dine , but I imagine exceptions can be made for the right person. (do note minimum spending requirements apply). Our waiter did a fantastic job of checking in while not making us feel rushed. The attentive service was accompanied by helpful recommendations. All of the food well presented and flavorful. Spicy tuna crispy rice where the rice wasn't too crispy and sticking to teeth. Poke bowl well balanced and filling, bao buns not memorable but no complaints. The drinks were on the pricier side but well crafted. Harriets impeccable decor, lighting, service, ambiance and cuisine set the tone for a night to remember. The seating area was backdropped with Manhattan's skyline and the Hudson River which made for a fantastic view. However, that didn't stop them from clearly putting some thought and effort in the decor. Greyscale wood furnishing with cushioned outdoor seats were well organized and spaced for privacy and intimate conversations. The seated dinning area was surrounded by the ambiance of patrons who were present for bar and dance floor vibes(no resy required). This place was packed and active but the closed off seating made it possible to enjoy both worlds. read more

Came here for a rooftop party and was blown away by how spectacular the view is. The drinks are strong, I ordered a dirty martini and enjoyed it a lot. The bathrooms are communal but the concept is great. They have a lot of different plants all over which is a nice touch. Service is fast & staff is friendly.

If you're looking for one of the most unforgettable rooftop experiences in NYC, Harriet's Rooftop absolutely delivers. I honestly didn't expect to be this blown away, but everything -- from the skyline views to the music -- was beyond perfect. Let's start with the ambiance -- unreal. As soon as you step out of the elevator, it feels like you're walking into a hidden paradise above the city. The lighting is warm and sophisticated, the décor is chic with just the right amount of edge, and the entire rooftop has this electric but relaxed vibe. The views? INSANE. Sweeping, unobstructed shots of the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, and Statue of Liberty -- it's one of those moments where you pause and just soak it in. It's the kind of place that makes you fall in love with the city all over again. And now -- the DJ performance. We came on a Saturday night and honestly, the DJ was phenomenal. Perfect balance of chill house beats early on and then a flawless transition into deeper grooves and throwback remixes as the night went on. The energy was building slowly but intentionally, and by 11PM the entire rooftop was moving. Not in a packed-club kind of way -- but more of a stylish, upscale crowd having the time of their lives kind of way. Service was also on point. Our server was attentive, super friendly, and recommended some killer cocktails. I had a smoky mezcal-based drink that was one of the best cocktails I've had in months. The small bites were elevated and delicious -- especially the tuna tartare and truffle fries. Honestly, Harriet's is more than just a rooftop -- it's an experience. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this spot is a must for anyone who appreciates good music, beautiful design, and next-level views. It's the kind of place where memories are made. Already planning my next visit -- this time with a bigger crew. read more

View is amazing!!! We were able to dine without a reservation. There is a minimum consumption price of $75 but you'll definitely get there. This view costs lol. Nonetheless, I can say it's totally worth it. The staff were all great. I had the purple haze drink x2. I then had the jumbo roll without the tuna. Super delicious and filling. I also had the wagyu sliders cause I was starving. Don't judge; it was only two sliders. Mouthwatering, warm, and flavorful. Overall, great experience. And the summer weather was a nice complement. Check them out. read more

I went to an event at Harriet's Rooftop and had such a great time! The views are absolutely incredible, you can see the city skyline. The atmosphere was lively, the appetizers and drinks were both really good, and the DJ kept the energy going all night. I even got to see Lisa Vanderpump, which made the night extra fun! There's an outside deck area with equally amazing views, and the overall vibe of the venue is elegant but relaxed. It's located inside a beautiful hotel, and there's convenient parking right next to it, which made getting in and out super easy. Definitely a stunning spot for events, drinks, or just enjoying the view. read more

Harriet's Rooftop is on Furman Street in the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bidge that is located in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Harriet's is close to Time Out Market New York as well as other hang-out spots. When I called earlier that day, the individual on the phone mentioned that due to it being the Fall / Winter Season, dinner service tends to end around 6pm. However, there was the option to eat at Harriet's Lounge one floor below the rooftop for later dinner service. It was also mentioned over the phone that we can visit as walk-ins, but if we make a reservation we will have to spend minimum $100 per person. We decided to walk-in & make the decision regarding dining later. Once we got to the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge lobby, we walked around to the elevator & pressed to go up to Harriet's Rooftop on the 11th Floor. When we arrived there, the hostess was present to greet us & she shared that the minimum is $75 person to hang-out and partake of seating on the rooftop. We opted to view the menu on the rooftop as well as in their lounge area on the 10th Floor. Harriet's Rooftop provided a somewhat casual, laid-back atmosphere, although it is surrounded by breathtaking skyline views. Harriet's allows one to see Beautifully lit-up buildings in the distance, & we enjoyed going to Harriet's Rooftop & Lounge w/ last Wednesday's lovely weather. Both the Rooftop & lounge have fabulous seating & bar areas. 4 stars for the beautiful views! Harriet's Lounge Menu includes Edamame, Spicy Tuna, Oysters, Sushi, etc. There is a good selection of spirits. Harriet's Rooftop & the lounge both have friendly staff. Harriet's has clean bathroom facilities. Open Mon. - Thurs. - 2pm - Midnight & FrI. - Sun. - 2pm - 2am Website - www.1hotels.com Instagram - @harrietsbk read more

The rooftop is within a hotel so was a bit confusing when we initially walked in. Took the elevator to the 10th floor and was greeted by a hostess who was able to seat us promptly.

Great spot to go to during warmer weather. I usually like to come here with friend if they are visiting from out of town. Only thing I will say is every time I've been there the staff hasn't been the friendliest. I even had my friend have her birthday here one year and the staff wanted to demote our table and was kinda rude to my friend the whole time. Also all the cups are plastic when they serve you. read more

The staff was rude. The rooftop was very rundown and food was mediocre. Wanted to cancel our reservation after we saw what it looked like and how we were treated just trying to go up the elevator but we're going to be charged a fee. Don't recommend. read more

Harriet's Rooftop is more like a tapas café than a restaurant; its food is very Asian-inspired. They have a wide variety of cocktails. Those that I had were very good and of a generous pour. I also had their oysters, edamame, OKONOMIYAKI FRIES composed of Kewpie Mayo, Ao Nori, Pickled Ginger, Bonito, Green Onions, and several other dishes. But the star of everything is the spectacular of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty; hence my recommendation. read more

was super disappointed in this lounge. The prices are outrageous. One drink is $30!!!! For espresso martini. That I couldn't even drink half of it , it was that bad . A glass of wine also $30!!! What is that!!! And on top of that they included 20% tip in the bill. For what???? They didn't serve my drink to a table or my seat. There was no mixing whatsoever. Why do I pay $12 on top . What THE HELL!!!! Not going back and not recommending this place at all read more

If you're coming to Harriet's, you're definitely coming for the view. It also might be more enjoyable on a less busy night, but it was crowded when I came on a Saturday night with a large group. We ended up standing around most of the time. For drinks, I had the Harriet's Margarita ($25) which was refreshing. Note that they add an automatic 20% tip to your bill already. Luckily someone told me just as I was about to add on more tip. I always hate places that sneaks in an automatic gratuity without giving you a heads up in hope that you'll be too drunk to realize and tip extra --shaaaady as if the drinks already aren't pricey enough. Nonetheless, come for the view but that's it. read more

Harriet's Rooftop - The view. - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If I could rate this place zero stars I would. Tonight was my anniversary with my fiancé and this place is an absolute shit show. For starters we were their first and 10 other table sat down after us. We ordered our food and drinks. Took about 15 minutes for us to even get our drinks... not even over exaggerating. THEN we ordered our food and were sitting there for an hour waiting for it and the food runner gave our food to the table next to us... literally embarrassing. Anyway I spoke with management and they told me they would not charge us the $150x2 because apparently to sit on their rooftop patio you have to pay atleast 150 minimum per person which is a joke when their menu has 10 items... ANYWAY the bill came out to 290... do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I wouldn't recommend this place to a homeless person. What a joke. You should be ashamed of your establishment. MORE LIKE WE WERE PAYING FOR A VIEW .. NEVER AGAIN WHAT A TERRIBLE PLACE TO DINE AT. Oh and forgot to mention they get their French fries from McDonald's ... absolutely disgusting read more

For $50 more per person, go to the River Cafe next door for fine dining, clear expectations and the same view. Harriet's Rooftop is beautiful, and the service was quite good. But several issues made the overall experience fall short of what the price point suggests. There's a $150 per person minimum, which is fine in theory. However, an automatic gratuity is added to the bill without clear disclosure, even for a party of four. That's not standard practice, as most restaurants only apply this for parties of six or more. At that level of spend, the gratuity should either be built into the minimum or clearly itemized. You're not tipping based on service. You're just being charged. The arrival experience is messy. While there is clear signage separating the restaurant and party lines, the people managing the front door did not enforce it. The result is a crowd of guests funneled through the same entrance, with no regard for who is there for dinner and who is heading to the club. When we walked in, it felt like we were being judged on how we looked. We're in our mid-thirties and were dressed appropriately for dinner, but not for the nightlife scene. No one asked if we had a reservation. If I hadn't volunteered that information, I don't think we would have made it inside. The elevator ride up was also packed and uncomfortable, which didn't help set the tone. We didn't often wait long once checked in, but the host stand is placed right at the entrance to the party section. Dinner guests are forced to stand in a noisy, crowded space among clubgoers with loud music and no clear separation. It's an awkward way to begin what is supposed to be a premium dining experience. The view is clearly one of the main attractions, but the table layout doesn't consistently honor that. Our diamond-shaped table had my partner and me facing a wall for the entire evening, even though we were spending over $300 before tax and tip without clear view access. That was disappointing. I was treating friends, and while I'm glad they got to enjoy the view, the layout felt poorly planned. This could be easily addressed with more thoughtful seating arrangements. The food itself was good and, surprisingly, reasonably priced. In fact, it was so reasonably priced that meeting the minimum spend was harder than expected unless you order a lot of drinks. The menu is focused and not especially large. If your group isn't drinking, you'll likely need to order repeat items to reach the threshold. That was my situation. My friends weren't drinking much that night, and I felt a bit awkward over-ordering just to meet the minimum. Some dishes felt off in terms of how they were described. The Wagyu roll, for example, was mostly rice and vegetables with a few fatty pieces of meat. It did not feel like a premium dish. The Wagyu toast was more aligned with what I expected. The fish was solid across the board. But overall, the menu leans heavy on rice and filler. The drinks were excellent. Each cocktail was $30 to $40, plus tax and a separate gratuity to the person serving them, not the bartender. But they are served in plastic cups. At this price point, that was disappointing. Still, the drinks themselves were strong, well made, and delivered what they promised. Harriet's has a lot going for it, but the logistics and price structure don't match the image it's trying to present. The space is beautiful, but if you're going to charge premium prices, the guest experience needs to be tighter, clearer, and more respectful of what dinner guests are expecting to walk into. read more

We got some light appetizers and cocktails and all were delish. The views alone are worth having one drink here. Good service was also a plus! It's a pricey place so be aware of that before you go. We really enjoyed it though and got some great pictures. read more

Harriet's Rooftop - Espresso martini - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Didn't stay at the 1 Hotel but I think I might next time I'm in the city. The rooftop is clearly the main draw here. With views from the south side of the Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan, take a dip in the rooftop jacuzzi and enjoy the sunset. The music is relaxing but will turn up on you at night with weekly events put on by local promoters. The bar scene is very nice, this is a summer smash locale to hang out with other socialites and mingle with a good crowd. The cocktails are great, borderline mixologists that have imaginative ideas for libations that will keep your tab open. Service was quick, bartenders are attentive. Recommending getting directions from servers to get up to rooftop and bring a coat cause it can get a little windy but totally worth it. read more

I mean, you can't beat the views from this place but the per table minimums to even enter are ridiculous. I'm guessing they have enough through traffic that this works but speaking as a local in Miami- this isn't even required for the one hotel rooftop or entrance there when you have views of Miami Beach. Anyways! I was going to make a reservation but saw there was also an event with tickets for $60. With the $60 tickets, the $150-$175 minimum per person wasn't required so it was a better option, especially for one single person. They also jacked the prices at the door, having $100 entry fee PLUS the minimum per person so if you're in the area and looking to go on a Sunday in the summer, I'd recommend trying another day unless you want to go to a club like setting with bottle service and very young crowd. Don't get me wrong- love house music, DJs, and a day club but this was not the lounge, exclusive feeling I was anticipating. Upon arrival, I made my way to the bar which is small and crowded with hardly any space to squeeze in, order a drink and not get bumped into. I had a $38 espresso martini that was mediocre. The rooftop was smaller than I expected and they had to keep turning the music down with people signaling like there was an issue for noise ordinance. I just don't find the Sunday event to be aligned with their image to be exclusive when it's a packed place operating like a club at 3am. I can't imagine all the hotel patrons paying $1k a night are ecstatic about a daytime club on the rooftop, next to the pool. Overall-- the views take the cake in this place and if it were anything like the pictures with tables to enjoy and a relaxed, upscale lounge setting- I feel it would be much more enjoyable and aligned with the brand which hopefully is the case 6/7 days a week. read more

Beautiful view, unique and tasty drinks, and the staff was super helpful and friendly. I recommend sitting here over the rooftop itself. A few cons: Everything is super overpriced, and they automatically include 20% gratuity on the bill but leave a space for you to add tip, which is unclear and sketchy if you aren't paying attention. read more

Great for the views but the food is lacking and overpriced. Not a lot of good options when it comes to the sushi rolls selection like the Miami location. $50 a glass for just Veuve Clicquot. Wow!!! When the entire bottle at the store is $50. Most restaurants and hotels in New York are charging $25-32 for a glass of Veuve. Not sure how they landed on $50. The crab roll wasn't tasteful. It comes with butter on it. So this was all I tasted; overpowering the crab. The rock shrimp was good. I think there should be a re-do of the menu to match the awesome views of the place. Just come for the basic liquor drinks like Vodka Soda , margarita, etc and the views. Skip out on the food, wine/ Champagne and you will leave happy. Trust me! (Lol) read more

The view from this restaurant is and unbelievable 360 and absolutely gorgeous! The vibe is very modern and chic with the option to sit outside on the roof, in the indoor bar, or at the indoor tables. Get a reservation if you want a table as this place fills up quick, but if you don't mind sitting at the bar it's an easy place to snag a great spot. I'm not sure if I would come here with a large group because the tables were lower and the set up looked uncomfortable for those with dinner reservations, but if you plan to sit at the bar it is a great time. Service was great for the lower level--fast and attentive. For the rooftop bar however there was a long line and the servers were pretty rude and abrupt when we got to the bar to order. The drinks here were incredibly well balanced and yummy and the food here was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the Greenhouse and the Carroll gardens. That said--the drinks and food are also a bit over priced. I got only 2 drinks and 2 apps and the bill was $100. They definitely are charging extra for the view and the touristy area. This is a great spot to show off an amazing view with one drink--but not somewhere I would spend too much time. More of a start to a fun night, than the main event for dinner and to enjoy a long time. I will definitely be back though! read more

Harriet's Rooftop - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This review is for the Polar Ice Lounge on Harriet's rooftop *only*. It's a great idea, but 2/10 for execution. FYI, when my reservation was cancelled due to warm (inclement) weather that presumably melted the ice, they did give me a full refund. I do remember thinking it was surprising that there were so many available reservations for the Polar lounge, but, in hindsight, it makes sense. It is simply not worth it. We ran into a whole gamut of issues: The elevators in the lobby do not go to the floor with the Polar lounge. You have to find a hotel assoc. to operate the elevator for you and until you find someone you're stuck waiting. 1HBB would really benefit from a "call" button. Or, you know, just allow visitors to access non-guest room floors like most hotels do? I was stuck downstairs in the lobby until someone upstairs serendipitously called the elevator to the floor I was trying to reach. Once checked in, we were offered coats to help keep warm--well, one person was because they ran out out of size M by the time of our reservation at 8 PM. Gloves would have been very useful, to go with the (few) coat they lent out. And in fairness, I learned, upon leaving, that they did have gloves to offer, but all were gone by the time of the time of our reservation as well. Once shown to our table, servers stopped by the table intermittently. For reference, there were around 25-30 people on the rooftop while we were there and in terms of space, I would estimate under 25% capacity of the venue. We were given, ~12 tokens to exchange for drinks. There are 5 possible drinks and 4/5 of them are tequila because of some partnership with some tequila brand. If you don't like tequila, you're might be SOL. I ordered was a Mt. Harriet, which tasted like a 7/11 slushee. It was even red! One of my party was showed up very intoxicated (apparently they served her downstairs at Harriet's Lounge despite being visibly drunk). I refused to get her any alcoholic beverages. I asked our server for water. None was ever brought to us. I asked the bartender if he had any water or nonalcoholic drinks, and he said no. Later, he said he had lime soda (an ingredient for one of the cocktails), which was better than nothing. I find it kind of odd and concerning that a bar doesn't serve water. Is that not a safety or liability issue? The actual cocktails are served in "cups" made of ice, which is initially very neat but after a few minutes, I was getting frostbite on my fingers from the cup. So, when I went back for another drink, I asked the bartender if he could pour me a drink in a normal cup. He said he wasn't supplied with any normal cups or glasses to use on the roof. The hors d'oeuvre, which were 6 wafers with crème fraise and caviar, was bad. The actual experience on the rooftop was mid. While the ice furniture is cool to look at (it's illuminated by lights) it's covered in ratty-looking fur throws, which look like they've seen better days but they do insulate you from the ice. But setup of the tables is awkward for six people to comfortably sit around and have a conversation so we all mostly stood. Additional blankets either to drape over ourselves would have made it much more comfortable and actually made us want to stay. Hand warmers would also have been really useful because the weather was 30 degrees out that evening and, again, we're drinking out of cups made of ice. We didn't even end up staying for the entire duration of our reservation. After 30-45 minutes, we were sick of the entire experience and asked if we could move indoors to Harriet's Lounge, but were told that we'd have to wait in line. Your table reservation from Harriet's Rooftop does not transfer to the Lounge, fyi. They also advised us that we couldn't use our leftover drink tokens at the indoor bar. So, we finished our drinks in the lobby and had to shuttle back upstairs to use our last tokens. I will say that the service staff overall is hospitable and friendly. They tried very much to be accommodating when we requested what we needed. Simply they were simply not equipped or supplied to help us through no fault of their own. The staff did come all the way down to the lobby to collect the coat I borrowed (were they afraid I was going to steal it? They already had my ID) and offered to retrieve my coat from coat check as well! The price point for a table reservation for 1-6 people is $435.00, which comes out to roughly $33 per cocktail (which is ~2x what top ranked nyc cocktail bars charge for actually potable cocktails) and a plate of caviar topped crackers. So you can see why I expected more substance. They're not providing anything quality in terms of drinks or food, so I expected them to go above and beyond in the experience, but sadly they just didn't deliver. The view is great, but you don't need to suffer through the Polar lounge to enjoy it, just come back during spring, summer, or fall. read more

Honestly went there for the first time excited to see the view and it's honestly one of a kind. Food was okay though. Definitely over priced for the quality of the food as they just taste like bar food. But the view makes up for it. read more

I am obsessed with this view! There were many rooftops to choose from but this one has surpassed it all! The views are spectacular here! I love the manhattan views from here. The service was not bad. The server took a while to bring us the drinks but overall it was pretty good! Located inside the 1 hotel,the area was excellent. I would highly recommend coming here again! read more
