Our server was very nice and detail oriented(Adriana). The food was good, I had steak, my wife had blackened salmon(it’s okay not quite special for its price), the fries and burger was good. The cheesecake was good as well. However the sound system(speakee)was directly above our table and it was mad blasting, it competes with our conversation. The view was nice. However due to the christmas lights indoors, it reflects when your peak through the glass window.

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.

My husband and I have been going to La Ripaille for Christmas Eve dinner for a number of years. We had a conflict that night this year, so we decided to go on the Winter Solstice instead so that we didn't skip a year of tradition and it was perfect. The staff are all friendly and professional and they clearly take pride in their work. The owner, Alain, is the ultimate host. He stops by every table, engages his guests in jovial conversation and isn't above clearing plates or getting guests water. He clearly loves his restaurant -- as do we.
