Nice bar/restaurant for brunch. We were looking for a quiet place for brunch Christmas week and stumbled upon this establishment. The greeter/waiter, Cameron, was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too! Definitely recommend it and will be back soon!

Adorable igloos on the rooftop with views of the city and Empire State Building. We were originally sat in an igloo in the center and asked to move to one on the outer edge so we had a good view and they kindly accommodated that. Came with a bottle of Vueve. We ordered the Smores which were cute added touch to the experience.

The croutons in the Cesar salad were delicious. Pricing range for the meals was decent. Appetizer price range could have been lower for the amount you got but it is NYC.

I read some negative reviews and almost cancelled our reservation. VERY glad I didn’t. The hotel and restaurant are beautiful, our servers were attentive, food came out fast. We mostly enjoyed the sweet dishes like the Brioche French Toast and the lemon mascarpone pancakes. The gruyer omelet was nothing special. The decorations in the Hotel are beautiful. Would come again! I requested a table with a view because it was my daughter’s bday and we had a great table! Also host said Happy bday to her when we arrived!
