    Instructor Arturo cancelled last minute and on several occasions showed up completely baked and smelling like weed. I asked him if he'd smoked and he said all day today and the last few days. Throughout the lesson he is talking about personal things such as women he's picked up off the street. It's very distracting. As for his teaching style, he's constantly providing instructions even up until the day of the exam, leaving no room for the student to internalize the material. When I ask him to give less instruction, he lashed out. We booked a class the day of the road test, half of which was used to drive on the highway (not tested for the road test). Finally, for the next road test, he decided to not let me use his car which I had been practicing.

    Pass!

    I 100% recommend Revolution Driving School! They have multiple convenient locations for driving lessons. The school can also schedule your road test, and there's a good chance you'll be able to use the same car you practiced in for the test, which is a huge advantage. Communication with the school is primarily done through email or text, which worked well for me. If the phone isn't answered, don't be upset; they will respond to your email promptly. If you're fortunate, your instructor will be Waleed (I took lessons in the Upper East Side). Waleed is very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He provides helpful feedback during lessons. We connected well from my first lesson. The whole driving experience was fun and enjoyable. Right before my road test, Waleed showed me a different technique for parallel parking that finally clicked for me! I used his method, and my parking was spot on an hour later during the test. Forever grateful, Licensed NY Driver, Maria

As a new driver, this driving school definitely boosted my confidence and driving skills. I used to be a really nervous driver but the instructors were really patient in helping me overcome that. I really appreciate how both instructors start out the lesson (whether that is city driving lesson or highway driving lesson) by asking me what I want to work / focus on. If I say I want to practice more parallel parking, they would be sure to incorporate that into the duration of the lesson. I also really appreciate how both instructors provide tips and feedback throughout the lesson or at the end of the lesson to help me improve and become a better driver. Both instructors are really knowledgeable and professional. I've definitely learned a lot from them and can't recommend them enough.

    Extremely Disappointing Experience - Would Not Recommend…read more We spent 15 hours with US One Driving School and unfortunately had a very poor experience. During lessons, the instructor Adrian was often on their phone and gave little to no feedback while my wife was driving. This made it hard for her to actually improve or know what to correct. We later had a different instructor, Bryce, who was great -- attentive, communicative, and professional -- which showed us how big the difference in quality can be between instructors here. As part of the $1200 package we purchased, the school promised a Simulated Road Test Lesson, but my wife never received it. When we raised these concerns and asked that the fees be adjusted given the missing portion of the package and lack of instruction quality, the office refused, simply saying that Adrian had "been teaching for two years." To me, this felt like a breach of contract -- we didn't receive the service that was advertised, and there was no accountability when we brought it up. I strongly do not recommend US One Driving School, especially for anyone looking for consistent instruction or reliable communication. There are better schools out there that actually value their students' time and investment. We would appreciate either: 1. A retest next week that we do not need to pay with a different instructor 2. Otherwise we'd need to contest the payment via credit card

    TLDR: worth it! As…read moresomeone who hasn't lived for a long time here in nyc, I settled on this driving school after looking through the reviews and everything. I'm glad I did because the whole process was efficient and stress-free. I got the road test package which included the 5-hr prelicensing course (MV-278), car rental, road test appointment and 1.5 hr simulated road test driving lesson for $275. I also got an additional 1 hr car lesson because I've never driven before in the US. My driving instructor for both the 1 hr lesson and the simulated road test driving lesson was Zoe. She was amazing because she made me feel comfortable by conversing and helped pinpoint how to fix mistakes I was making. She was very patient as well. Overall, very thankful for her help. Their customer service was also really good because they were easy to contact through both phone calls and email. They also sent out reminders about upcoming lessons/road test appointment. (Passed on first road test)

    I had a tremendous experience at Acropolis Driving School! They were so kind, communicative, and,…read moreof course, tremendously talented at teaching someone how to drive! I could not have asked for a better driving school to not only help me obtain my license but to help me to truly KNOW what it means to be a good driver. Right now, I am 32, and I last drove in a car when I was 16, but I never managed to get my license! This year, I decided I would become a licensed driver before the year was out, and Acropolis wanted to see me succeed in this endeavor. From trunk to horn, as it were, my experience at Acropolis was exactly what I hoped it would be. Firstly, the ladies at the front desk are so, so kind. I cannot say it more emphatically! Never will you meet nicer people who want better for you! Lissy, Estephany, and Iralda went out of their way to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and calm! And everyone knows that a good feeling is key to driving well in the car. It really felt like a family helping you to drive. And I so appreciated their enthusiasm and bolstering. They even went out of their way to make some specific arrangements for me in terms of car and lesson schedule when I went to take my road test! They did not have to do this, but it really helped me to feel confident about passing and so they went above and beyond to help accommodate me! And I cannot say thank you enough! Acropolis is also SO organized. It is amazing. They would text me the night before every single lesson and always made sure I knew what my schedule was. If I needed to move classes, they would always accommodate me, and the classes always began and ended exactly on time! When it came to being behind the wheel, Acropolis very smartly kept most of my lessons with one instructor, but sometimes changed the car and teacher to help simulate real driving environments. This method gives you a core guide to learn from in a solid way, but also gives you access to different driving perspectives and tests your abilities to be in a new car with a new person. Acropolis also always has both the goal of making you an excellent driver and the goal of you getting your license in mind. These may sound the same, but they actually require two different skill sets from instructor and student. And both are equally important to seeing you onto the road! Acropolis gave both to me! During my lessons, my two main instructors were Miguel and Marlene. And truly, I cannot say enough about either one of them! Miguel was my instructor for the first half of my lessons. And he was such a calm and solid presence in the car when I was so nervous at first. Crucially, he really wanted to focus on the overall experience of driving. The important outcome in our lessons was not passing one road test necessarily, but that I really knew how to drive. I appreciate so much the core fundamentals of driving that he instilled in me and how at ease he made me behind the wheel. Marlene was then my instructor for the second half of my lessons! Firstly, Marlene is so cool and funny. And she has a knack for breaking down the complex module of driving into easily understood pieces that can be executed. She explained maneuvers to me in a way that I could think about while not in the car and review by myself, which was exactly what I needed. Marlene understands how to slowly evolve a student and how to get them ready for whichever road test they are taking specifically, which is a tremendous kindness. I could not feel more grateful for her instructions. TL;DR: Acropolis Driving School got me my license; what more is there to say!

    I have nothing but good things to say about this driving school. Lissy is a sweet heart and she…read moreworked with my very tight schedule. I ended up taking 15 driving classes.

If you carefully follow and study his instructions, you will be well-prepared. I was extremely nervous throughout the process and honestly did not think I would pass but I did, all thanks to Frank (especially after failing my first road test 10 years ago). The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because my first assigned instructor was very unprofessional and did not take the lesson seriously. At the end of the lesson, he even asked if he could call me, which felt inappropriate and left me with nothing learned. I contacted the receptionist, explained the situation, and asked to be reassigned, which is when I was paired with Frank. While I was grateful for the switch, I do feel the school should have provided me with a makeup lesson since my first one was a complete waste of time. That said, I'm very glad that with only 4 lessons, I was able to absorb enough from Frank to pass my test. I do believe that if I had been given a proper makeup lesson with him, I might have finished with fewer points deducted.

The food was good, the portion sizes weren't big but were just right. The wings are not jumbo and the Truffle fries need to be tweaked, maybe change the recipe or call it fries with Parmesan cheese.

This place is good for a happy hour, lunch, brunch, date, chill spot, etc. The views of the city were great, it's social media friendly with a lot of picture opportunities, they also have jumbo games such as Jenga, Connect Four and Cards.

You can also rent cabanas for larger groups and they have optional packages that can be reserved as well. They have a live DJ, music was great they played a mixture of new music along with older music for the more mature audience like my husband and myself. Everything was great for us, we truly enjoyed the change of atmosphere and crowd. If you are looking for a quiet place to have a conversation, I would not recommend this place. It's very loud, but in a fun way. Some people brought children, I personally would not recommend this unless you don't mind the drinking, yelling and smoking. Our food was good but the menu could have more dining options. I personally feel this place is catered more to people that are looking to have a light meal with plenty of drink options. It's more of a drink and socialize place. Again we LOVED it, because it was a change of scenery for us. The downside is that there is no restroom within the restaurant. You have to walk outside the restaurant to the end of the dock to use the public restrooms which normally has a very long line. This isn't ideal. Overall great experience. We checked out to the tune of a 200+ bill. The alcoholic drinks were pricey rolling in at $86 before taxes for four drinks.
