    This place is located at the top of the Four Points Hotel on the 29th floor. Once off the elevator you notice all the hanging plants and flowers. The ambiance was great! We notice a host/hostess booth, with no one there. We waited a few minutes, but no one ever came or even looked in our direction, so we asked the bartender if we could sit anywhere, he said yes. It took at least a good 5-8 minutes for the sever to acknowledge us. We finally ordered a drink and lobster tacos. The tacos were good but very tiny. The drink was meh, one and done. Once our other guest arrived we tried the Mac and cheese, again just meh. We would rate the ambiance as a 10, and everything else a 3.

    Came here for brunch on a rainy day, it was pretty empty so I'm sure the vibe is different when it's packed. Menu is very small, food was okay but the drinks were good. I would personally recommend just doing drinks here. Because of how heavy the rain was, there were a few leaks throughout the space which wasn't great for the vibe of an already empty spot. They were also doing construction on the front door which made them turn up the music so it was loud. It might be fun on a warm summer day when it's crowded but any other situation doesn't seem like a good time here.

    Nice little rooftop. No reservations needed for two; we were able to go right in and be seated. I had the coco mango drink and the steak flatbread. The drink was great. But the flatbread, not so much. It was not fresh at all. I can't recommend the food but the vibe was good. We did enjoy the rooftop vibe and the hookah service.

    Highkey Rainforest Rooftop is a low key vibe place on the weekend! Food: the food to me is moderate nothing stood out over the top. It's traditional American style food. The drinks is the hype. There's various specifically I love the Leeche martinis. We had the chicken and steak tacos, the steak and fries, and the sliders with fries. Service: the service was okay. The hookah took a long time. The main course came out before the starters. The taco were really good and the NYC steak strips was well seasoned. Ambiance: the ambiance is really good and vibrant. The various colors and stations to take pictures. The set up is cozy for couples and seats large parties. I give this location a solid 3.89/5.0

    We stopped by for a weekend brunch the place had a vibe of a hookah lounge with couches as the mood of seating and small tables in front. A more relaxed vibe. Food: we had ordered the steak and eggs execution decent. We had gone for the bottomless brunch. The servers were appropriately attentive. I would say this is a best setting for a very relaxed vibe. It was a shame there is new outdoor space. There is a lot of potential to the space could use a little freshening up. Overall solid passable experience. The florals hanging from the ceiling add a nice touch.

    Nice place to grab a drink and take pics. They have a lot of spots with signs and props for photos. We enjoyed beautiful drinks with popsicles and chill vibe. Bartender was nice and made good drinks. Plenty of space and good layout but I didn't get the usual cool rooftop experience/view.

    Came here with the Pulsd deal " $59 For A Bottomless Brunch For Two" and were the only table there on a Sunday at 12:30 pm. Was surprised to find the place empty, the decor very busy, and the cleanliness falling short. This is definitely a place that focuses on nightlife over brunch. Was very close to just having our drinks and leaving since it was paid for, but we ordered the avocado tostadas and it changed everything. They were the best avocado "toasts" I've ever had. I ate the whole thing and I wasn't even hungry. I also liked the 2010's nightclub music that wasn't too loud, could still have conversations. But wasn't happy with the condition of the couches, surfaces, bathrooms, decor. I guess that would be the trade off for the great bottomless deal.

    Escape the city and enter a lush rainforest oasis right in the heart of FiDi -- @highkeyforest is the ultimate rooftop hangout inside Four Points Hotel! We came for the $30 bottomless brunch (Saturday & Sunday, 12-5pm, 90 mins) and stayed for the Gemini Experience -- a cocktail flight featuring margarita, prosecco, and wine, served with a miracle berry tablet that bends your tastebuds! One sip, two flavors. It's wild. Every corner here is IG-worthy -- think jungle vibes, stunning rooftop views, and vibey music all day.

    Very chill and instagrammable rooftop bar! However, there's not really much of a view given this bar is not very high up and there's plastic sheets surrounding 80% of the border. Leafy decorations everywhere with neon, artsy led lights here and there. There's a phone booth in a corner for aesthetic photos. There are QR codes on tables, however, the menu online are wrong and outdated!! Which is really sad because I wanted to try this one drink with fruit boba and gummy worms? We sadly had to amend our order at the bar when we tried to place our drinks. Lychee martini was tasty and felt decently strong (obligatory side note, I am a lightweight). My friend got a banana cocktail and that one was so unique and tasty too! Super interesting that the bartender stuck four twigs of mint into the drink along with the stems. Also... in hindsight, I think we might have ended up paying tip twice because it wasn't clearly stated in the bill! Tell me how else my one drink ended up costing me $30! It was quite nice that we were able to walk in without any reservations. Music wasn't too loud and they had basketball playing on the tv. I could see it a fun place to hangout if it's convenient but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. The menu does offer some large drinks to share, which could be fun for a group!

    This place is a definition of IF YOUR WALLS ARE GRASS, THE FOOD AND SERVICE IS ASS. Really was not fond of the food. And the food was not fond of me. I don't normally have bowel movements from eating burgers or sliders. But these at high key rainforest was not it and was cutting me up. Smh. You could tell that the quality of food is very low as a result. And just from looking at it. I should've known. The decor here is sooo cute. This place has so much potential but it falls very short! The prices don't make any sense. What are we paying for...the decorations? Because the service was horrible as there was only one person running the whole floor. She was the hostess, waitress, bottle girl and security. It was crazy but toodles to her work ethic! Everything was rather disorganized. No one knew what they were supposed to be doing or how to do their job efficiently. Not to mention there was no happy hour or specials offered. Nor was anything special done as a result of a birthday. The music was okay. Drinks were decent. But very inconsistent! My drink was weaker than the others at the table. And each one varied in taste. The seats also lacked taste and class. There was no consistency and it looked like the furniture was picked out of someone's man-cave. Eww! The seats were dirty and unappealing! The weathered plastic around the rooftop looked rather ghetto to have views going out towards the east river. Everything seemed cheap including the experience. But definitely not the bill, which was disappointing because the check should've matched that sad grass. Really only enjoyed it for the occasion and because my party was the vibe. Period. NEVER RETURNING. DO NOT COME HERE! Don't let social media fool you!!

    29 Margarita & Lychee Martini

    Ambiance - 10/10 Service - 10/10 Food - 6/10 The food was well seasoned. Good taste but did not meet the expectations. The steak and new potatoes and fries look completely different on Instagram. We ordered medium cooked steak and got well done. The Mac & Cheese looked nothing like it did on their Instagram either. It was lighter in color and seemed to not have the same cheese baked on top. The taste of the fries and Mac was a bit off. It didn't taste as fresh as expected. Overall it was a great vibe. The hookah was very good and they offer a variety of flavors. It's a good place for drinks, photos, and maybe some quick appetizers. Overall I give this place a 7/10.

    29 margarita

    The space itself was giving vibes--super cute and perfect for a birthday dinner aesthetic. I came here with a party of 8 for my friend's celebration, and while the drinks were absolutely top-tier (do not leave without trying the 29 Margarita--it's a 10/10), the food was... a different story. Let's start with the wings--honestly, the only real win of the night. Everything else? Meh at best. Everyone's fries came out cold (mine included), and to make it worse, they kept mixing up our orders. Somehow "Parmesan truffle" turned into "parmesan trouble" because both kinds of fries were just sad and borderline inedible. The host was lovely, but our server clearly didn't want to be there. The energy was off--eye rolls, attitude, and just plain cold. Speaking of cold, my friend's steak? Served cold... twice. We had to send it back to the kitchen like we were on a reality show. Final verdict: Come here for the drinks, the ambiance, and the Instagram pics--but if you're expecting a solid birthday dinner experience? , keep it cute and keep it moving.

    Needs a refresh, place is worn out. How do you not have Sprite/7UP to make a cocktails? The most attentive server was the hookah guy at $50 he was selling hard. Skip it

    The food was really good, the service was amazing. Hookah and music made the vibe real chill. I will for sure come here again.

It delivered on both fronts, but I really was blown away by the wine. The sheer quantity of available wines is really impressive, and the sommelier was able to recommend a rare wine that fit our interests (a fantastic, effervescent, creamy Txakoli that had lovely fruit and minerals). Later, I tried amazing ice cider. The food rundown: -Sesame pizza Bianca: complimentary bread! This was very good and quite sizable. The bottom is entirely encrusted with sesame. -Scallop crudo (rhubarb, shiso): very good and the plating was gorgeous. Meaty scallops with tangy and pungent flavors. -Snowdance chicken (spinach, sherry, thyme): Super tender, crispy-skinned chicken in a savory sherry sauce. -Sea bass (asparagus, hollandaise): I was surprised at how remarkably well this dish worked. The asparagus was so good with the rich, buttery sauce. Definitely a smaller portion, but the chicken was huge so it balanced out. -Potatoes with ramps: Yum. Served hashbrown-style and the ramps were added as little sauce dollops. I loved the space, and by that I mean the ambience and also the literal amount of space we had to ourselves. We got to stretch out in a roomy corner booth. The room featured a lot of exposed brick and grey and utilitarian ceilings, but it manages to be cozy all the same.

We came in on a Friday evening and it was pretty quiet inside. After we were sat down upstairs, it took a long time for our waitress to come to take our order. We got the Butterscotch flip, Getaway driver, and Big trouble. These drinks were not it. Although the prices are okay($19 each), they definitely need some improvement. All three had very strong flavors that were not balanced with the rest of the drink. After we finished our drinks, we waited an especially long time for the waitress to come back, check on us, and give us our bill. It was especially frustrating because we were the only ones in the bar at this point and we could hear them chatting downstairs. Overall, both service and the drinks need improvement. Can't really recommend Split Eights over other cocktail bars around.

Our cocktails were delicious, music was on point, service didn't feel rushed at all. I was feeling adventurous and asked for a boozy gin-based cocktail.. loved it! My friend really enjoyed her drink as well. At $19 per cocktail, it's not the cheapest in the area, but also not the priciest either. Would absolutely recommend Split Eights to anyone looking for craft cocktails in the area.
