    Due to a private event, we were seated in what has to be the B-list section, with nary a view to comfort us. That said, the service was great and our drinks were surprisingly good (for $20+). You want to Insta da gram? Get the Bubble Buddy Martini, which comes with--you guessed it--a big bubble on top of that pretty pink concoction. The Sangria 2 Ways is fruity and refreshing, while the Smoke Break is fumes without the nicotine. Food-wise, they have a pretty limited menu that's nonetheless tasty. I needed fiber, so I got the Mixed Salad, which was surprisingly huge and tasty. Plus, my stomach thanked me for all that healthy kale and cabbage. They did let us tour the actual rooftop at the end of our visit because the private event was winding down. Nice mid-tier views: this isn't the place for sweeping panoramas to backdrop your wedding, but it's a good pre-game spot before tearing it up.

    Very cute Rooftop Bar and Lounge. Inside the Hotel Indigo. Open until 10pm. Staff very nice. They were out of ingredients to make The Flying Car, so I got the same drink as my sister, The Palomita. Drinks were nicely made, light on the spirit but a well tasting drink. We tried the Wagyu Beef Sliders, they were very good. 3 Sliders come with the meal. We walked around the rooftop lounge, which is two floors and very spacious. A good amount of seating available. I would definitely try it again, hopefully I can try my original drink of choice.

    Came here during the winter holidays with a group of coworkers with a dinner reservation. This place is so cramped for a rooftop indoor area. At least they had a very intricate Christmas decoration setup with a fake reindeer and winter backdrop with fake snow. The place is a little hard to find with the entrance around the corner and inside next to a hotel and up the elevator. The sweats for a party of 8 were some random stools and they pushed two tables together pretty adhoc. The burger was not bad, but not great either. Not particularly juicy, but at least there was bacon. The chips with ketchup were actually pretty good. I was just glad that I didn't get the other appetizers because they looked like they were for ants. Someone got raw tuna sushi style tacos that took over 30 minutes to prepare and came out literally as four small hors d'oeuvres. Everyone ordered drinks and someone ordered a fish bowl type drink. Looked like a mini glass gravy pourer shaped like a fish.

    Open until Midnight (unless they decide to close early and mess up your plans)

    We booked a reservation at 11:30p. As we were in our Lyft, on the way from New Jersey, the restaurant calls and says that they are closing early and will not be able to accommodate us after 11p. So why would you ake reservations after 11p? Very disappointing, unprofessional and just careless.

    The view is nice but most rooftops have better. There are 2 levels some indoors and some outdoors. It's bigger than it looks online. It was quiet when we went but it was a Friday on a holiday weekend. The waitress was nice. Halfway through we were informed we had to go to the bar to order instead of asking the waitress which was weird. The place is pricey for the portions. We got the hummus to share which was spicy. The drinks weren't bad. The veggie quesadilla was quite yummy. The chocolate mousse was great. They were out of a few things on the menu. We went somewhere afterwards to get more food and drinks at a cheaper price. I would go back. They took reservations.

    Service is so bad.. ordered drinks and took 30 min to make. Food is what you would expect at a mediocre hotel bar. The inside is very tiny and not that decorated. I've seen this spot in so many reels but starting to think that they might have been sponsored. Huge disappointment. Womp womp.. only 1 more star because they gave us 2 free shots for super delayed drinks.

    I had a great experience at Chambers and can't wait to return to try more of their seasonal menu!…read moreThe restaurant has a lovely ambiance that feels upscale yet inviting and intimate. While I can't comment on the wine list personally, I know they are well-known for their extensive selection. After placing our order, we were delivered the sesame pizza bianca, which is a complimentary starter bread with dinner. The bread was a nice size and light and airy with a perfect crust and a delicious, crusty sesame seed bottom. The prawns were our starter and came three to a dish. They were sizable, though since they are served with the head and tail, there isn't a ton of meat on them. That said, they were flavorful and juicy with a nice sauce and just the right amount of spice that didn't overwhelm the fish. The snowdance chicken was the star of the show! It was incredibly juicy and tender with perfectly prepared skin, so I was happy to learn they keep this on the menu year-round. It was topped with some spinach that was solid, though nothing special. We also ordered a side of mushrooms which came with a creamy sauce and fish roe intended to be mixed at the table. The roe wasn't fishy at all but added a great element of umami to the flavorful, well-textured mushrooms. Overall, the service was very professional, though I thought the pacing could have been improved as the dishes came out a bit slowly. I would also recommend ordering at least two dishes per person, as the three plates we shared between two people felt like just a touch too little food. I'm already looking forward to going back--I'd try the winter chicories salad or the veal sweetbreads next time, but I'm open to exploring everything since the quality is so high. I noticed a side dish listed on their online menu that wasn't actually offered in person, so it might be worth double-checking if you have your heart set on a specific item.

    I was really impressed with all the dishes and can't believe I haven't heard of this place…read moreearlier?! I made reservations after seeing their special hot chocolate on social media and had a wonderful meal! Started off with the hiramasa which was fresh and went deliciously well with the citrus-y and sweet cara cara orange, as well as the aji peppers! The castelfranco chickory salad was fresh, crunchy, slightly creamy and slightly tangy - basically everything you need in an appetizing salad! Their house sesame bread was fluffy and chewy with a good amount of sesame flavor without having too many seeds. For mains, the farfelle was very interesting and tasty! The pasta was al dente and the sauce was addicting! At first I was wondering if it would resemble a nut butter, but it was creamy with very prominent walnut flavors and interesting texture (perhaps from the blended walnut skin component?). The addition of burrata and other cheeses was perfect for a cheese-lover like me. The pork chop was flavorful, well-seasoned, and juicy. The leek and cabbage mixture soaked up all the sauce and I wish there was more! Their special hot chocolate with an espresso martini marshmallow was fire!!!! Hot chocolate was decadent, not too thick, and not too sweet. The toasted marshmallow melted quickly but definitely had coffee and alcohol flavors. The amount per serving doesn't appear a lot but appropriate considering how rich it is. The mascarpone dessert had a great balance of fluffy cream, extremely crispy phyllo, and crunchy nuts with a touch of chocolate and vanilla! For drinks, I was really curious about the bi lemongrass but they ran out. Staff recommended the semiplume, which felt like a beer, tea, and sparkling wine all at once! Loved the floral aroma and bitter tea notes. My partner's cocktails were also well executed. Staff were nice and friendly. We got seats right by the kitchen so staff often checked in with us, including the chef!! Vibes were intimate with the dim lighting and minimalist decor. Definitely want to come back to check out their chicken and other dishes!!

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.

He is the best mixologist in NYC. He danced with lemon slices cutting through pours of clear liquids from heights. He tossed and shook, and was precise and caring. A true artist. David made our night. The only reason I would ever walk back into this place is to sit at the bar and let David mesmerize me. FOOD: Broccoli rabe was fresh, but I needed a steak knife to cut through it. It was very al dente. Not cut properly, which is to cut crosses in the stems. Salad was fresh and crisp, high quality fennel and greens. Lovely. Agnoletti was divine. Home made. Focaccia very good with subtle flavors and just the right crust. Olive oil, good. The front of house staff was lovely, two ladies, and a friendly guy. Super lovely. Treated us like friends. Also the busboys were all gentlemen. I loved them. They brushed crumbs off the table with panache. The only complaint is the waiter was robotic, and issued rule after rule. No smile. EX: It was a freezing night. We wanted to order appetizer's first, and have a chance to look at the menu. He couldn't do that. "I need the whole order." Then one of us wanted to order the pre fixe dinner. "You can't do that. You both have to order it." He was very cold, a robot. To enjoy ourselves, we had to push through the horrible treatment. Too bad for the waiter, when I asked about the special pasta, he butchered the pronunciation, giving me a soft pitch to teach him Italian. I blasted him. C'est la vie.
