    Very cool bar atmosphere with great views of Lincoln Center from rooftop. A little pricey, but it's all about the scene. We shared a tower platter of finger foods and the food was very good.

    Highly recommend The Ivy Room. The service was excellent and we loved when Triana brought us our Smoked Old Fashioneds, still in the box with smoke. What topped off dinner was the incredible voice of JessaV with a jazz trio.

    I didn’t know what to expect when I made a reservation for myself & five of my friends to celebrate my 60th birthday but I was in for the best time. As soon as you walk in you are struck with the elegance of the bar area. Wait staff were very helpful & the view of the East River & Queens was stunning. We were treated incredibly well by our waitress, Elizabeth. The food was amazing & inventive. I would have liked the bar to have more choices, such as I would have loved a kir royale but that wasn’t available. Even though, we had a fabulous time.

    Solid destination for Brunch with quick service and large portion sizes. Cocktails are well made and arrive quickly with a lot containing tequila if that’s your thing! Our drinks were served in plastic glasses/tumblers which for us was the difference in 4 or 5 stars. Overall, I’d definitely recommend and plan to go back.
