   The menu was limited and the prices don't make a good match with the quality of the food.

   Very poor. Got there, the elevator that goes straight to the restaurant was broken. The furniture is ripped off and the room smells. A construction was happening and the drilling was extremely loud. I left before ordering, but I assume the food is okay? The waitress was very cordial and apologized for the bad experience.

   Perfect place to go before a show at Lincoln Center. Not a huge menu to choose from, mostly a tapas like menu, but it satisfied our needs.  set more cocktail party style with a couch and table.

   We grabbed a bite before a show at the Met. We sat on the rooftop area ( closed of course because it’s Winter) and it was a nice ambience. The night was foggy but you can still see the skyline as and lights of the city. Really beautiful. We had fancy cocktails ($21 !) and apps and finger foods. All very good and decent portions. The staff and our waiter were extremely friendly. Our waiter was so nice, very attentive and elegant and smiled all the time. Would definitely come again. Downside is that it’s pricey-hey it’s NYC and it’s directly across from Lincoln Center .

   We were very pleasantly surprised on our first visit to Empire Rooftop. Happy Hour was a surprise hit. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our only issue is that the food was delivered so quickly one after another order, that it got cold before we could eat it all. Service was very good as well. Our server went MIA for a while, but another filled our requests in the interim. All in all a very good experience. We will be back.
