    It's *really* expensive (about $200 per person) and the value for money is the worst I've experienced so far. Definitely not worth it

    Not worth it. Do not go! This place is over priced for no reason. Get good coffee outside and find a nice bench to sit on without going in here and your life will b better for it.

    Todo es excelente!!! La comida, la atención y la vista de Manhattan. Lo mejor es ir al atardecer para ver cómo se van encendiendo las luces de los edificios.

    Единственное, что могу отметить на 5+ это виды, действительно поражают. Но цены дорогущие, интерьер скучный, не вернулась бы сюда. В НЙ есть намного круче, вкуснее и адекватнее места
