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. read more

Very cute place and nice views depending where you're sitting. Food is mid :( We ordered the spicy tuna taquitos, truffle fries, French toast and steak and eggs. Spicy tuna I would rate it a 6/10 Truffle fries - 9/10 -- love truffle fries especially crispy French toast - 6/10 -- on the drier end Steak and eggs - 6/10 -- the steak had a lot of fat and not seasoned well but the eggs and fries were good. The server was very attentive and nice. I would give her a 10/10. read more

Views? Incredible Drinks? Pretty solid Location? Convenient from the 7 train Lighthouse is an unusual business in Sunnyside: a rooftop bar/lounge, with Manhattan bottle service aspirations and the kind of glossy, leafy decor that is made for Instagram. It's the perfect place for a 26th birthday party, and the two levels plus great sound system make it feel like you could be at a club in any large American city, along with the requisite fusion small plates. Fun times and really a great big space with, generally, adequate street parking to be found! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more

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 read more

This was by far my most favorite restaurant during my first time visit to NYC! Not only was I sat early for my reservation but the service was superb. Additionally, the food was so good and fresh. And of course the drinks paired our meals well. I loved the aesthetics and they even have themed nights. I highly recommend this place! read more

I wasn't impressed by the food here but I would come back and give it a second try. I came to a birthday dinner . Dinner wasn't served until after 10 due to the size of our party so idk I'm factoring that in to my experience (although it shouldn't be a reason) Ok so item by item. Guac ...yummy Steak tacos were delish. Seasoned well and cooked well. Smoked were not bad. The mash underneath saves it. It was cooked well but seasoning was ehhh Organic chicken was great. Crispy skin that is seasoned well NY steak was lacking for me. No flavor. You know it's bland when you are begging for a steak sauce or a chimichurri. Something . Branzino also not cooked well and seriously lacking flavor. Very fishy taste and not flakey as expected Rice and beans were cool and so was the mash. All the food that came out was luke warm So overall, I would probably come back and try earlier in the day and not come in a large group. My brother said he came for brunch and the chicken and waffles werent great but I'll try for myself. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went her for a friend's birthday during Scorpio Season so this is why there's Halloween decorations. The ambiance and decor was beautiful! The hospitality was amazing as well. This restaurant is on a rooftop so the elevated views are great. I did see that there was a garden area but it was too cold to go out there. The food was okay. I asked for a medium churrasco and it was a little overcooked but it was okay. It had great flavor. The other guests in my party lamb chomps and was also a little overdone. The flavor was amazing regardless. I'll definitely be back if I want a night with great views and vibes read more

terrible service . Rude waiters. Long wait. Will never come back. Wrong food order as well

I was treated to this rooftop lounge with reservations made ahead of time. We arrived early and waited until our designated time, I guess because of the time slot that was chosen and the restrictions on the dining time period. The rooftop had a flow of people coming and leaving. When the seated us in the middle we had a preferred seating position which allowed for a exceptional view and we did not experience any problems with service. The scenery was nice as I was able to glance out of the window from time to time as well as see the staff entering and exiting the room. As far as the limited menu, it was one thing or the other but nothing spectacular. I chose the steak and egg due to familiarity with that particular dish. The highlight of the day was the performances that were orchestrated and underappreciated. It was a belly dancer and gymnastics using a big ring. I felt bad for the performers as no one applauded their efforts to perform for patrons throughout the day. I would say that this place is suitable for special occasions and would be recommending for group settings. read more

My wife and daughter took me here for my birthday weekend celebration. Rain did not stop us!!!! The security was a bit rude as we wer trying to understand Parking but it was a Sunday so the lot was free. From getting off the elevator to the end of ourbmeal everyone were nice and pleasant. The hostess was thee best!! Her personality was what we needed as we are grieving the loss of our daughter while still trying to celebrate my day . Our waitress Stephanie was also great and understood what we needed drink wise and she made them..well!!!! The food was good!!!. OMG...THE PLACE was esthetically beautiful. The vibe was low as not much people were there, as it was early and raining, but it was still really nice. We already planned to come in the summer to enjoy the roof top. We will be back!!! read more

We ordered the shrimp tempura tacos. Well seasoned and tasty. I do recommend. The Burris tacos were good too. I got the fried rice with a sunny side egg and shrimp and scallOps. I enjoyed it and would order again. The chits do steak was beautiful and delicious as was the tostones. Highly recommend. The dessert was ok. Would order the tiramisu again as it's housemade.

I had a reservation for Sunday May 3 at 8pm for my birthday dinner. Lighthouse Rooftop cancelled it with zero explanation and no way to rebook since all slots are now gone. I called and left a voicemail -- no response. This restaurant cancelled my birthday plans and left me with nothing. No accountability, no communication, no solution. Would not recommend booking here if you have anything important planned. UPDATE: The business responded but their explanation does not hold up. Their own Resy calendar shows May 10, 17, and 24 all open -- May 3 is the only Sunday blacked out with no closed indicator. If they were truly closed, their booking platform should show it clearly. This was my birthday dinner and I deserved basic transparency. Additionally, they claimed to have attempted to contact me, which is false. I received zero calls, zero texts, and zero emails from them PRIOR to the cancellation. This is an integrity issue! read more

Wow didn't expect this place to be as beautiful as it was . They have inside dining and an outside rooftop with views of the city. The Views, bathroom aesthetics, drinks& food was A1. I'm from the Bronx and I travelled here for a birthday brunch. The staff was very attentive to our needs. I ordered the froze dusse drink I don't remember the name but it was soo. For my entire I ordered French toast, the French toast was very good but it had tooooo much sugar on it . I had a size of bacon with it to try to balance it out but the sugar crystal pieces was still a bit overwhelming. Steak and eggs was good along with the chicken and waffles. I would def come back read more

A cute spot for ambiance but service could've been better. The drinks here are really good. I arrived on a Saturday night to get a good view of the performances only to be seated on the top balcony where it was dark and felt detached from the rest of the restaurant. They get pretty busy on the weekends with a lot of large parties and celebrations. The food was good but had some pitfalls. Our lobster wasn't cooked well and they didn't bring any melted butter with the meal. It was sent back for an exchange. They have people going around taking pics as well. It's a very instagram able spot but very nickel and dime as well. Valet parking parks your car on the free street and charges you 20 bucks . read more

Came here to celebrate my 32nd birthday, and honestly, I wouldn't return unless it was to snap a rooftop photo or support someone else's celebration. First, I do appreciate them pushing my Resy back an hour and adjusting the party size from 20 to 14 the day of--that flexibility was helpful. Now for the rest. Let's talk about the dress code. As the birthday guest, I was almost turned away because of my hat. I was told only certain hats were allowed--specifically berets or fedoras. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was redirected to the front desk and told, "There's a store down the street--you can buy a pick or something." Instead, I bought a $10 beret from the bouncer just to get in. Of course, once I walked in, I immediately saw guests wearing beanies and bucket hats. So either the rule doesn't apply to everyone or someone didn't like my style. Rules are rules, I guess--but consistent enforcement clearly isn't. Then came seating. We were placed outside in direct 92° heat with no umbrellas, no shade, and no explanation. We were the only large party seated in the sun, and no alternative was offered until 20 minutes later, after one of my guests went to the front to advocate for us. Only then were we moved indoors. The bottomless deal was great--no issues there. Everyone at the table enjoyed it. The food was okay. Not terrible, not amazing--just fine. As someone from LA who's been to many "upscale," Instagrammable spots with actually good service and food to match, this one ranks pretty low on my list. Vibe matters, but vibe without hospitality just feels forced. read more

2.5 Rating Here I go being influenced by social media again. I went here for a friend's birthday dinner. And while the atmosphere may be IG worthy I am not sure it is more than that. Between the flower wall, extremely highly ceilings, floor to to ceiling windows, and a out door space with breathtaking city views this is the only reason to come. The waitstaff was friendly, standard nothing above and beyond. The food however was somewhat where I was disappointed. Very much picture worthy but very standard. My steak and potatoes were the same quality of what I get at a local diner. They also provided some sort of entertainment. A flame throwing belly dancer. Not bad at . The cocktails were not to bad. To be mixed they were strong which may not be bad for some people but takes away from it being a curated cocktail. This place is great for the views, IG pics, and maybe even a first date if you want to impress someone. In all fairness maybe the chief was not having a good day. However improving the food would really bum this place up a few stars. read more

I been here a few times for brunch and drinks. This place is stunning, its such a beautiful rooftop and great addition to Sunnyside/LIC area. I was surprised by how great the food here is. The portions are a good size and the bottomless brunch is excellent. I have tried their wings, chicken & waffles, steak and eggs, tacos and guacamole. Everything has really been really good. They do have a DJ during brunch but its not super loud you can't hear yourself talk. I love how from time to time they have dancers come around entertaining the guest. read more

The food, service, and ambiance were delightful! The view was amazing, although we didn't sit outside because it was too cold. The music playlist was enjoyable, and there were belly dancers who performed periodically. For appetizers, we ordered sweet chili wings and shrimp tempura tacos, both of which were delicious! For my main entrée, I chose lamb chops with mashed potatoes, and they were incredible--tender and juicy. My drink, a lychee martini with coconut, was also excellent and definitely worth it! For dessert, we tried lava cake, but I didn't enjoy it as it was too thick. We also ordered flan, which I had never liked in the past, despite trying it from various places. However, I absolutely loved their flan--it was delicious! read more

Hosted my birthday dinner here this year and had a delightful time. Although it was just one of my closest friends and I, we had a delicious dinner. For appetizers, we ordered the popcorn shrimp. We each had a cocktail until our entrée arrived. I had the branzino with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My friend had the lamp chops and devoured it. We were the last reservation that night, so it wasn't crowded. We were able to get some great photos of the aesthetic. Unfortunately, the kitchen closed before we were able to place our order for dessert. It was my birthday, and I felt like they could have given us a pass. Especially since dessert is something that you don't cook. I can see myself coming back here for brunch one day but not for dinner unless I'm here for a special occasion. read more

The first time I came here was for a Yelp event! I loved it so much, I brought back several friends. However, we were really disappointed in the service. While waiting for everyone to show up, we grabbed drinks at the bar. The bartender made my cocktail and placed it on someone else's used disgusting napkin. When I tried to point it out, he said I insisted it was mine. When I said no and asked for a new one, they finally gave me another napkin. Anyway, food was just decent. I really did not like that they would not customize some of the menu options. Arroz chino was just meh. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more
