Besides booking the restaurant for a birthday, it was restaurant week. The dinner deal was $60 for a three course meal. 5 out of 6 of us ordered from the restaurant menu. The staff honored the lobster bucatini, because the menu online had it but the paper menu one did not. I was happy the restaurant did that. The bucatini was worth it. It came with a lobster tail on top of the pasta. The steak frites were good, except it had too many frites. The eggplant pantoufle with the sauce was delicious. Salmon was nice and saucy. Scallop ceviche was a cold salad that went well with the chips on the side. I really loved the croquettes! Croquettes were stuffed with goat cheese and the dip is a fancy honey. Bouillabaisse was a nice seafood soup. Overall, food was great and filling. The drinks were just okay. A few of us felt the drinks were watered down. The lychee blossom had a lot of ice and was just refreshing. The World Cup, as well. The drinks could've been better. The waiter, Richard, treated us with 100 percent kindness. He was super polite and attentive to our order. He even assisted in taking our photos at the end of the meal. The staff did not rush us out of there, even though we went a little past closing time.

Our experience with the hostess was positive as our group of eight was looking for a place to eat and drink after the Knicks Championship parade. When we arrived were told they take walk ins but didn't have tables available as they were also busy with the FIFI World Cup. As we stood outside Googling other places close by she came out and said they could move some table groups around to seat us all, but they tables would no be next to each other. We politely declined, but were appreciative of the courtesy and looking out for us. I'll definitely check out this bar for football season because of that.

Went after a broadway show and it's better that way so you don't rush the view or the yummy drinks. It's an "Italian" restaurant but some work needs to be done on that part. For example, please use actual peppericini's when listing it as an ingredient on the menu. LOL. Now, yes, the view is wonderful, the atmosphere is sexy and chill at the same time, and the food isn't bad, BUT I must express how blown away I was by the service we received from our waiter. This person was charismatic, welcoming, full of positive vibes, professional, pleasant conversationist, and MOST importantly knew the true meaning of, and demonstrated, what it is to ensure that the patron is treated with respect, courtesy, and to do all things within his control to keep them happy and wanting to return. I have not seen or experienced this type of service in quite sometime. Grant it, to get respect you must give it, and this was amazing.

My wife and I arrived early and had a short time just to sit and enjoy the incredible view in this incredible area. I helped our party hostess set up the cupcake display and watched the staff work very hard setting up the food of which there was plenty. Sliders, tuna, selection of fried foods, spicy egg roll, chicken skewer, and flat bread pizza. Everything was delicious. What had to be hot was, and the cool foods were perfect. Everyone enjoyed so much that they had to keep bringing out more. It was the perfect spot to sit, stand, and mingle with friends for this festive occasion. This was just a beautiful area to relax and look at our incredible city, a truly special place. KUDOs to the very incredible team here at The Empire Rooftop.

They were fresh, crisp, and considerably more welcome than the usual bowls of stale bar mix that feel as though they were put out during the Coolidge administration. The cocktails are the main attraction, as are the standard Midtown prices. A stay at the Barclay includes a daily destination fee that comes with a $30 food and beverage credit. That sounds generous until you discover that after tax and an automatic 18 percent gratuity, $30 covers precisely one specialty cocktail. Welcome to New York real estate math. The standout drink is the Bee's Knees, mixed with Tanqueray, lemon juice, and Barclay honey. The honey comes directly from the hotel's own rooftop apiary, which is a genuinely clever local touch. Anyone can throw sweetener into a shaker, but keeping hives on a Midtown roof and serving their honey in a twenty-dollar drink downstairs takes a distinct level of Manhattan confidence. It pays off. The drink is bright, well balanced, and smooth. I also tried their Penicillin, constructed with Toki Japanese Whisky, Talisker, lemon, and that same rooftop honey syrup. It was less successful. The ingredients sound impressive on paper and the execution was technically precise, but the flavors simply failed to click. Sometimes a cocktail is made completely correctly and still leaves you wondering why you ordered it. The bartenders ranged from quiet to conversational, but every drink was crafted with care rather than dumped into a glass. The bar itself is comfortable and upscale, matching the classic 1920s grandeur of the Barclay lobby without trying to feel like a high-volume nightclub. If you are staying at the hotel, using your daily credit on the Bee's Knees is an easy call. The drinks are expensive, but in Midtown Manhattan, a cocktail and a small bowl of fresh nuts now count as a minor financial transaction anyway.
