The sandwiches were not worth $30 apiece, not to mention they charge you per fountain drink. Service left a lot to be desired. The views were the only thing worth it.

I booked this reservation a few days in advance because I had some family visiting from out of town. We booked Refinery as a nice rooftop with a view to go to after my cousin and aunt’s first ever Broadway show. Initially, I was struggling to select between refinery rooftop and RH rooftop. But went with refinery since it was closer to the theater. I regret this!! When we arrived, the hostess could not find my reservation, even though I showed her both the confirmation email and the OpenTable reservation, which I made at least a day or two in advance. It was embarrassing to have family feel like I hadn’t planned for them. When we sat down, my elderly aunt was finding it difficult to cope with the noisy and busy-body children at the table next to us. So perhaps not the most thoughtful table to seat us at. To top it off, my aunt got sick at the end of the night. I suspect it was due to the food, but of course one can never be certain. Needless to say, I would definitely not return, and advise others to avoid as well.

Restaurant could not locate my confirmed Open Table reservation- team member stated it was an ongoing issue and Open Table reservations do not come through to their system. They were able to seat us and besides issue with reservation, brunch was delicious and view was wonderful.

Very disappointing customer service. When we arrived, we were told that our reservation wasn’t in their system. The manager, who was quite rude, informed us that we couldn't sit on the patio and offered us seating in the covered area. We asked if we could wait for a patio table, but the same rude and unprofessional manager said it would be almost impossible, as those tables were reserved for guests with reservations (which we had, and I provided proof). After waiting for some time, we decided to leave. Just as we were about to enter the elevator, the hostess came over and said she had managed to get us a table outside. Overall, the experience was poor. The food was decent, but the service was awful. We had to get up several times to ask for assistance. I do not recommend this place. The manager needs to be replaced!

Food, drinks, ambience and all was fantastic. Definitely worth the visit. Service was kinda slow, empty plates remained on the small table and were only removed when the main courses arrived. Water wasnt refilled and took too a little for a waiter to come around. Overall tho its not enough to disparage me or anyone from going, if you are thinking of going. Go

Apparently OpenTable reservations don’t register with the restaurant’s system. We arrived and they had no record of our reservation. The manager said OpenTable doesn’t always communicate with their reservation system. Thankfully he did his best to accommodate us as close to our time as possible. But id be cautious about booking through OpenTable for refinery moving forward.
