While others work to place the kitchen in the cocktail, we have placed the cocktail in the kitchen. English for “Sous Vide,” our Under Pressure cocktails employ a French cooking method that requires unrelenting patience and precision. Each cocktail spends no less than 135 minutes in a temperature-controlled environment where it undergoes an explicit manipulation of flavors.

Stopped in for drinks and appetizers. View of Empire State Building is awesome. Band playing a bit to loud for such a small space.

Terrible seating. View not as promised. Server was rude and not responsive to us at all. It was very loud and we couldn’t hear each other even think. Seating was not conducive for disability. Seats either to low or odd high top stools. Very uncomfortable. As a result we cancelled a future reservation to avoid going back.

Excellent, nice setting looking at an Empire State building. Oscar was an outstanding bartender. The only complaint is that the kitchen closes at 9 p.m.. no snacks or bar food available between 9 PM and midnight.

Beautiful view and ambience. Very poor service. I am pregnant and ordered a non-alcoholic drink. When the waitress brought our drinks, she was not sure which was which. She verified with the bar and this was still wrong, so much to my dismay I had a portion of a tequila drink meant for another guest in our party.

The place is great but this time they said they were out of their regular food. All the had was cheese and onion dip with corn chips. Looks like they went to the grocery store and pit it on a plate. And for this they charged $22.
