    Had a great time. I went to a SOS party event. Drinks were good. They didn't have my Amaretto but I ordered Vodka cranberry and pineapple and it bwas really good. I, also, ordered fries and sliders which were amazing. They placed the coleslaw inside the burger.

    I came here for a birthday celebration. Our reservation was for 7pm. The restaurant wasn't busy at first. The music was great. A lot of current popular songs from different genres. At around 7:30 there wasn't an empty set in the house, even the bar was occupied. At about 8pm There was a live burlesque show. Which was very entertaining. One thing I can say although the music was loud you could still socialize with your party and not feel like you're screaming when you talk.

    I've been here twice, however, only during the summer and only during the day. They offer a Pulsd brunch special, that is excellent value, if you plan to order more than one drink. Sometimes during brunch, they have special performances from aerialists, as well as an electric violinist. It becomes very loud and lively at this time if you are seated inside. Outside, it can get quite hot, but there is a great breeze. And it's a much quieter, aside from the elevated tracks of the subway when occasionally goes by, so you can have a conversation with people that are eating with, as well as a great view of the city. The food is solid, with decent vegetarian options. They haven't updated their physical menu so some of the drink options listed were not actually available. The only complaint I have is that they refuse to seat you unless your complete party is here, even if the majority of your party is here; for example, if five people out of six have arrived, they will still refuse to see you until the sixth person has arrived. I'll definitely be back; this is a solid option for a medium size group looking to do brunch without planning too for in advance, willing to travel a little bit into Queens, and with light dietary restrictions.

    Peter was great! Food was amazing lamb & steak perfect! Ambiance was nice and clean.

    Went here for a birthday celebration and the food was amazing. Firt off, this place look great and it was great to see everyone dressed up. It felt great to be a part of this setting. The staff provided amazing service as they explained everything that was asked regarding the menu. Even the dancers they had was great and made sure everyone had a great time. Definitely looking forward to coming back here again.

    5/5 "BRANZINO AL CHIPOTLE SH 37: pan seared branzino fillet, truffle garlic mashed potato Lobster Butternut Squash Chowder Sauce with Chile"- This was really good, all layers were equally good: the fish, the mash & the sauce 3/5 "LOBSTER CRISPY RICE S.SH 26 Black Sesame Seeds, Spicy Creamy Fresh Lobster, Soy Wasabi Sauce, Caviar" This was ok, we weren't a fan of the crispy rice, more lobster would be appreciated 4/5 GUACAMOLE 10 * happy hr special price, originally 20 "Fresh Avocado, Cilantro, Chili Serrano * Grilled Pineapple Yuzu"- really good but skimpy topping 3/5 shrimp tacos- recommend eating this 1st, since it's not good when it's cold, but it was decent 5/5 service they even take pics of you for free, you can buy a portrait if you want

    Rooftop Vibes! I've been to Lighthouse on two occasions. First was for dinner, early January so it was 2 degrees outside (didn't enjoy the rooftop vibes). Next I went the beginning of April for a boozy brunch. Perfect weather to take fab pictures outside. The service is always on point. So is the food. This is a very upbeat brunch and dinner scene. If you're looking for a place to have conversation, no music and catch up this isn't the place for you. The music is loud, DJ spinning hits, performers dancing around the room. It's a total vibe!

    Drove up from Maryland for a galentines day with my girls. We decided to end our day with a dinner at the Lighthouse Rooftop. Let me say this ambiance of the resturant is beautiful, the staff is friendly and the entertainment is amazing. However, the food was the low point of the night. Two of the orders were wrong, which they fixed rather quickly. The other two. Bronzino dishes were cold as if they were sitting or made in advance. By the time we got our food it was midnight so the thought of having to wait for them to remake it was beyond anything we handle. They were accommodating by removing from the bill, but that didnt really fix the hunger. We tried to eat it but the cold, but not appetizing. Parking is also very difficult in this area, we found it better off to pay the $30.00 valet fee. P.S you have to pay the fee up front and they were pretty demanding of wanting a tip before even parking your car. Skip dessert. Nothing to write home about

    VIBE CHECK! Food: (5/5) Service: (4/5) Ambiance: (5/5) My experience at Lighthouse Rooftop was lovely as I celebrated my Birthday. Be mindful that while the space gets pretty lively (and a bit crowded during peak hours), the views and overall vibe make it worth it. The food was flavorful and well-presented, and the rooftop setting created the perfect backdrop for a night out. I had the ARROZ CHINO with Steak and Chicken ( really good and flavorful), for the table The Guac with Plantain chips for the table & Lobster Mac both good. and the rest of my party enjoy steak with Potatoes and Salmon with Vegatables. Service was friendly and attentive, though slightly slower once it got busier. Overall, I'd highly recommend it for date night, a celebratory dinner, or just catching up with friends over good food and great views. I'll definitely be back!

    This place is really nice, we came here for dinner and our server was outstanding and accommodating if the picky eaters in our group. The tables can be a little bit uncomfortable bc it's couches so if someone is going to the bathroom everyone has to get up to let them out but the food was delicious and the ambiance was nice. They played some good music while we were eating and then when we were finishing some girls came out to dance and do a show which was really captivating. Everything we ate was also good: we had the chicken one with sauce and one with sauce on the side, with white rice and asparagus, the steak, the crispy lobster rice, the steak tacos, all was delicious! Highly recommend them, I can't wait to come back in the summer so we can sit outside!

    Easy to get to, elevator up was clean and entrace was clear and sat down for our reservation immediately. The resturant is a Pretty lively spot..great decor and ambiance. Got just in time for the entertainment. However, the music was super loud, too loud for a resturant. Almost clubbish. Our food was a hit and miss. Appetizers was good. The shrimp tacos was fresh and light, the lobster mac and cheese was soo good. My brazino was delicious the mash potatoes it came with was ok and the butternut squash sauce kind of cold. My friend ordered the lamb chops was under seasoned and my other friends lobster tail undercooked. The entertainment was engaging and lasted about 20 mins..everyone enjoyed the show. I would come back for apps and drinks.

    I am actually surprised that it close8at 12 AM for NY that is kind of early! Our group got there late, we stayed till closing time. We didn't eat, my reviews is for the drinks, ambiance, and rooftop views. Rooftop view gets 4 stars because there is another place that I consider the best. 4 is still great for a night out and fresh air with that excellent romantic ambiance. The inside decor is gorgeous and classy. There is a notice in the lobby about the dress code, is not for the casual look, call ahead and find you before you showed up to prevent access due to the dressing code. New Year our group was out for the whole night so after 12 am, we had to go ti another spot. I wish we could had stayed here all night. Drinks were excellent in presentation and taste. Absolutely great for every kind of meeting, business, friend, family, or romance.

    Views are beautiful but this place is not worth the cost. Came here for a birthday brunch and they charged for everything. There is no parking in the area because it's located in a warehouse like area of LIC. Parking was $25. Food is mid and overpriced. We also had to pay $25 per person for entry into the restaurant on top of the food. The best thing about the place was the dj. I would not go back to this place.

    How is the parking situation ? Coming with 6 girls for drinks and apps do we need reservations?

    There is municipal parking under the train station across the street. I dont remember if they have valet but you shouldnt have hard time for parking. Yes reservations are needed as it gets packed. And make sure the whole party is together when… 

    Is there parking?

    Yes, on 7/20/24 there was valet and street-metered parking.

    Hi is there an age limit ?I would like to take my 16 year old niece for her birthday.

    I found this on their website: "A 21+ age policy is enforced starting at 10 pm each night. All guests must present a valid government-issued ID, such as a valid state ID, passport, or military ID, after 10 pm."

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr will I eat there again. To think I love Colombian Cusine, but Dulce Vida Latin Bistro is not good at all and definitely not worth the money. I was so pissed we spent $112.00 to eat crappy food in today's shitty economy. Serves me right...should have drove to Queens to eat delicious Colombian food but hubby didn't want to drive! Stay away....not good, if you know you know and I'm a latina!

We ordered tacos with beef and some with pork. They were delicious! The grilled skirt steak was fine if you like your steak well done. For those, like myself, who prefer steak medium rare, it was a disappointment. The chicken entrée in a creamy sauce was a highlight. The mixed green salad was unfortunately mostly iceberg lettuce. The sweet plantains were exceptionally tasty, and despite being fried, they were not too greasy. The black beans were prepared differently than we expected in that they were sort of mashed up and very thick rather than whole beans served in a bit of sauce. Nevertheless they weren't bad. The shrimp ceviche was outstanding! Try Tikal - you'll like it!

The only…read morereason I return is because it's my grandmother's preferred restaurant since she lives nearby. We arrived around 6:20-6:30 p.m. There were plenty of open tables, but we weren't seated until much later. During that time, the male waiter seemed more concerned with other tasks. He was seating a woman whose party of six hadn't yet arrived, going back and forth to the kitchen, handing out receipts, and collecting menus. After all of that, he finally approached us--not to seat us--but to ask, "How long are you going to take?" I replied, "Sir, we're here to eat." He responded that the side tables were for people watching the game. I explained that we were there to dine, as this is a restaurant. Even after we were seated, he avoided our table completely. He took the order of a table that had been seated after us while we continued waiting. About 20 minutes later, a female waitress noticed we had not been helped and took over our table. She was attentive, professional, and the only reason we received service. After placing our order, we waited about an hour for our entrées. The food was also underwhelming. The Papa a la Huancaína came with an excessive amount of sauce and very few potatoes. The Ceviche Mixto lacked the bright citrus flavor that ceviche should have. My grandmother, who is very familiar with Peruvian cuisine, found it bland, and even after taking it home we couldn't improve it. The Bistec Encebollado was slightly too salty for our taste. The beans simply weren't to my liking, though that's a matter of personal preference. Another issue is the dining room layout. The seating is extremely tight, to the point where it feels like you're almost elbow-to-elbow with the tables next to you, making the experience feel cramped. Overall, this visit was disappointing. Between the slow and inattentive service, the long wait for food, the cramped seating, and several disappointing dishes, the experience did not justify the visit. The female waitress deserves recognition for stepping in when we had been overlooked, but unfortunately she couldn't make up for the rest of the experience.
