- The New YorkerSeptember 16, 2013"The menu has a post-Rainbow Room retro eye and a modern sensibility: there are six champagne cocktails, and a soulful King’s Old-Fashioned is rounded out with a wet walnut." Read more
Heather LanghamApril 4, 2013This place is a must see! Amazing food and wonderful staff!! Chef Joe knows how to serve it up! Occasional live music creates a relaxing and romantic environment! Did I mention the amazing view?!
Ms HeleneJanuary 9, 2013Nice place to stop by if in the area. Views over Columbus Circle. Charcuterie and cheese platters were both inspired with variety and strong flavors. Cocktails around $12+. Great service.- New York PostSeptember 1, 2014Berkshire pork belly proved to be a braised belly and suckling-pig hybrid, the lush meat wallowed in fat confit-style and reposing under skin ultra-crisp from a turn in the oven.

BlackBook MagazineNovember 27, 2012As in Time Warner Center, and as in the center of that. A cool hundred wine choices and the cocktail list runs equally encyclopedic. Add to that a plate of Snake River wagyu beef sashimi. Live Large. Read more
- Serious EatsNovember 13, 2013While their cocktails might tend toward the pricey side, the view, the live pianist, and the general sophistication of the place all help ease the sticker shock.
- New York PostFebruary 21, 2013Bland-sounding Center Bar is anything but: a stylish refuge serving killer, uptown-classy small plates with live piano. The Moroccan-spiced halibut is a favorite. Read more
Marc SNovember 17, 2019Pretty nice bar for a shopping center. Well-made cocktails and, occasionally, a pianist.
Chris PattiApril 29, 2014The rosemary infused Gin and Tonic is excellent, and the bar snacks are a nice mix :)
Maria NardoneMay 19, 2013Tim, the mixologist, is a gem. Ask him for a recommendation or to create one if his own signature creations!
Miss SiaJanuary 5, 2013Joshua is a great and attentive bartender. Always an interesting mix at the bar. Go!
Natalia QuinteroApril 6, 2013Come for a drink, stay for the gorgeous view of Columbus circle and Central Park.
Gabriela ZabalúaFebruary 22, 2013Great view to have a drink and charge your phone. Bartender's super friendly.
Peter ElbaorAugust 29, 2014Pictures overstate reality. Definitely avoid (went next door for a better view and vibe)
Angela DayMarch 12, 2017The view is nice if you're close to the window, and the drinks are special but the staff isn't very friendly...
