Absolutely amazing and unique experience!! The terror igloos are absolutely worth it for the overall value of the experience. Food and drinks were delicious, although service was very slow, and our waiter hardly checked on us at all. Would definitely return!!

A really beautiful and comfortable dining room. It was so easy to have a conversation over dinner, even when the piano , bass and singer were playing it was not loud at all. Nice dinner music and it didnt overpower the ambiance. Triana was an excellent, knowledgeable, smiling and congenial waitstaff. Knew the wines too! I look forward to going back. Its a great rooftop bar and dinner in a lively part of NYC. The food was good, we got the fix prix dinner which came with great wine for and extra $20. A steal!
