20% service charge was added to our bill in addition to the tip we added at the end. We didn’t have a big group so not sure why there was a service charge.

A little small for the amount of people they had in there and then they were playing a weird sitcom on the giant TV above the bar for no reason that kind of broke the vibe. It impeded the view of the Empire State building which was the whole reason we went.

We have reserved a place in the parapet and was regularly assigned to us as per reservation. The wonderful view of the Empire State Building. Just he felt the absence of a heating for the outside would have been pleasant. We were for my girlfriend's birthday. I recommend going there.
