    I finally got a reservation after trying for a few years. It was worth the wait. The views are outstanding and the menu is available as pre fixe or à la carte. We went for the chef's prefix with wine pairings as we were able to sample almost everything on offer. The service from the entire staff - from the doorman in the lobby to the team of servers and attendants was phenomenal. It's an expensive experience but views and high quality food are rarely served in the same place in the city.

    Centurion New York is always a 10/10 experience. Whether you're looking for a beautiful setting for a date night, to celebrate a milestone, or to simply make a dazzling first impression, this is the place! If you can score a reservation, drop everything and run there! Get the mussels!

    Centurion has done it again--another delightful dinner with excellent food. The menu of this visit's highlights included the truffle risotto, generously topped with freshly shaved truffles, which was a standout. The burrata paired beautifully with figs, and the prawns were perfectly seasoned. Everything met our expectations in terms of quality and flavor. The sparkling drinks and white wine, however, didn't quite live up to the standard of last season. While the waiter was highly professional and let us sample all the options, the quality and taste weren't as impressive this time, so we opted for cocktails instead. After dinner, we headed to the bar down the hall, overlooking Bryant Park's Winter Village and ice-skating rink. Enjoying the cozy atmosphere with good friends was the perfect way to spend a weekend night. Although the bar officially closed at 1 a.m., in our experience, they're happy to stay open a bit longer for guests. The bartender even created an incredible guava-based cocktail for us and sent over additional rounds on the house--it was truly amazing! We left feeling well cared for and appreciated.

    This is our 2nd visit to this beautiful restaurant/lounge/bar, the service, the decor, the view are truly 10 out of 10, unfortunately that were the good review ends. The food in the fine dining section was not fine at all, it was very disappointing. Ive ordered the ribeye steak and honestly it was one of the worst ribeye steak I've ever had, it was chewy, it was tough and I literally had to take it out of my mouth because it was impossible to eat. The dish that my wife ordered which was some sort of mushroom that looks wired and was not very good. Even the fries which looked promising were not good, zero crunch and completely soft. The desert was ok, the espresso martini was good. We will be back for a drinks and the atmosphere but not for dinner.

    It has a stunning view of both Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. The service was great and the food was great. It only offers prefixed menus at the dining room. The options were $165 for a 3-course or $225 for a 5-course meal. For us the 3-courses were just right, not to mention that the chef offered both pre meal and after meal treats.

    Has a great ambience of exclusivity from the moment you have to check in before getting into the elevator and the ground floor,. Nice darkened hallway that opens up to some amazing views of the city, particularly at night! Service was very attentive despite being busy, and has a very luxurious but professional attitude. Had great expectations of the chef prepared food, which were displayed very artistically, but unfortunately tasted pretty average tobland. Small portions, and a little disappointed that the food wasn't quite as tasty as I would expect for a high-end club. For example, the Wagyu didn't taste any different than a ground sirloin tartar and certainly not high-quality A5 Wagyu. Next time, I may go here for the drinks and maybe an appetizer, but certainly not for fine dining.

    You knew coming here would be pricey. You're here because of your American Express status, and the concierge scored you a reservation. On the 55th floor, you're soaking in the stunning views, including the Chrysler Building. Great photo ops! I came for social drinks and small bites. The cocktails were great, even with the giant ice cube. I ordered the tuna tartare--it was super fresh and delicious. I also had the DB burger, which was solid, but was it worth $35? Definitely not. As for the cheese board, I'd skip it--limited selection and not worth it.

    The view is spectacular. You can see the Chrysler building straight on. The restaurant is well lit and very spacious. They have three bars in the restaurant. The casual, a la carte bar attached to the restaurant. They also have a speakeasy with high end alcohol (read: it was $75 to $85 for ONE cocktail). They also have The Carbon room, which is a separate room that can be rented out for parties. The Carbon room has the best view of the Chrysler building. The service was expected. They were very professional. The food was somewhat of a mismatch compared to the views and the service. I had the Chef's tasting menu and my husband chose the prixe fixe a la carte. Chef's Tasting menu --The foccacia bread was warm and fresh butter tasted amazing. --White asparagus & caviar - no distinguishing flavor. I felt like the caviar was a plug in just to justify the price or conveniently elevate this dish. --Warm hamachi - good flavor, but better at a sushi restaurant --Live norwegian langoustine and uni - teh langoustine was overcooked, uni, again, not that fresh --Dry -aged rib-eye and black truffle - I asked for medium rare and received medium well. For a chef's menu priced at $250, I hope the steak to be cooked correctly. I had to send this back. It returned medium rare, but still flavorless. --Brillat Savarin - Two very thin slices of bread and some brie. Again, some truffle on top to justify the price and elevate this basic dish. --Caramelized Honey Cremeux - This was completely melted. I didn't realize this till I reached the center, which was actual ice cream. Overall, the quality control of the food leaving the kitchen is poor. I will not return, especially since it is difficult to make a reservation and the price is quite high.

    I only expected good ambience and amazing city views,but was pleasantly surprised that the food turned out to be the highlight!!! For the drinks we ordered Pina colada ( good) and something with beetroot which we loved more. It's been a couple of weeks so I don't remember the names of all the dishes but posting pics hoping it helps Everything we ordered tasted delicious, well cooked and aromatic. Went for Mr's bday for which they provided complimentary chocolate cake. Highly recommend this one! Yes it's expensive, but food and views and the entire experience justifies the $$$$$$$

    This place is one of a kind. Located in One Vanderbilt, the entrance seems like an inconspicuous office building, but there was a nice desk with CENTURION on it. We were guided upstairs to a table with a great view of downtown Manhattan and the Empire State. The Chrysler building was to my left and the rest of Manhattan was right in front of me. The service was playful and cheery. During our meal, they made sure to coordinate the arrival of the dishes and place them on the table simultaneously two at a time. They also routinely gave us new utensils and cleared the table. Our primary server showed us around after our dinner and brought us to the wine room which had a western view of Manhattan. After being astounded by the alcohol prices, we settled on three cocktails: dark and creamy which had a strong coconut flavor and very little alcohol, orchard old fashioned which tasted like a light old fashioned with an apple aftertaste, and the 2-1-2 which tasted like sweet herbal medicine in a good way. The drinks were all pleasant, but with very little alcohol. For the tasting menu, we started with a rendition of an everything lox bagel but it was in a wonton shell. A little lox, a little cream cheese topped with everything seasoning could never go wrong so it was a good palate opener. This was followed by an aged cheddar bite which was also very savory and had an exterior like a pineapple bun. Both of these starters were heavier than I expected, but worked well because this was only a 6 course menu and every dish was small. They also gave baguettes and these small Asiago bagels throughout the meal which topped us off. The honey nut squash soup was very sweet which paired well with the cream and small pickled vegetables and I think this was my favorite dish of the night. This was followed by a warm hamachi which had a diverse texture palate between the soft porridge, crispy bits, and the fish. The ponzu sauce was the highlight of this dish and the rest was not memorable. The langoustine came next and it was good but unremarkable. The orzo was fun to eat and I recall that texture more than the langoustine. The dry aged ribeye came as the main dish and it was a good slice of meat. However, I did not get the chimichurri flavor at all... the sauce just tasted like a jus. I liked the piece of fat? on the side which had an explosion of flavor. As a palate cleanser, they served a raspberry ice cream with raspberry gel and dried raspberry and while delicious, it was very sweet so my palate did not feel very cleansed. Onto the desserts, the walnut raisin bread was soft and the raisins were a nice sweet surprise in the cheese and black truffle combo. This cheese was as light as a brie and made for a great spread. After, we were presented with a hive-looking ice cream which was another highlight for me. I really liked how the kumquat sweetness differed from the honey everywhere else. Finally, they presented us with some petit four options but there was 5 options. The caramel chocolate bit was the best one out of the bunch, followed by the almond cookie, bonbon, gelatin, and I don't even remember the other one. This place was an incredibly unique experience with some of the best service I've ever had, but the food was a little lackluster. I would highly recommend visiting once or going for a corporate event. This all came out to $350.

    Reservations are very hard to come by, only for Black Card members, recently Platinum Card can also make reservations, but you have to call Amex and ask them to help you make a reservation. View: It has a breathtaking view of the New York skyline. Food: This restaurant is run by Daniel Boulud's team, so the food tastes up to Michelin level, the ingredients are fresh, seasonal ingredients are used, and it's good value for money. ‍ Service: The service is very good and makes you feel attentive. Definitely want to go back again, but so hard to book a place ah!

    Centurion New York is on the 55th Floor of One Vanderbilt. A collaboration with Chef Daniel Boulud, the food is what you would expect, excellent. The views are simply among the best in the city. Although just opened, the service is very good. Looking forward to using it on a regular basis. The views are phenomenal.

    Came here for a couple of drinks. Reservation was organized via Amex concierge and it was somewhat seamless. The space is located on the 55th floor of One Vanderbilt. As soon you get off the elevator you should be impressed with the deco of the place, then you keep walking and see how amazing the views are. There are 3 sections here - the bar, a fancy restaurant and a less fancy restaurant (which was still fancy). Cocktails start at $20+. As I only came here for a couple of drinks, I ordered some fries. They were nice enough to serve us fresh warm bread. The butter that came along with it was so good. I wish I could take it home, I later found out it was imported from France. Service was top notch and prompt. Decor down to plates and utensils used were top notch. Views are just breathtaking. Would love to come here as a regular if the reservation process was easier ie. You don't have to call the Amex concierge every time.

    Great experience overall ... with a decent view of the fireworks show.... Drinks were overpriced…read moreand the DJ's music was a bit too over the top. Not the place to bring someone who may forget who they came with lol . The service was mediocre at best.. and there were not enough seats inside to accommodate more of the crowd..

    This place has so much potential it's honestly a little offensive that it's not living up to it…read more Like... you walk in and you feel like something should be happening. The energy is right there, hovering, but it never actually lands. It's giving "almost iconic" but not quite--like a party that never fully starts. And that's what gets me. Because this bar could EASILY be that spot. The kind people plan their week around. Where are the themed nights? Where's the drama? The chaos? Give me a reason to come back on a random Wednesday. Do a city-event tie-in, a holiday takeover, literally anything that makes it feel alive instead of just... existing. Because right now it feels like a missed opportunity wearing a cute outfit. BUT--let's talk about the one thing they absolutely did not fumble: the view. The VIEW??? Insane. Genuinely stunning. The kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence and remember you're in New York and not just spiraling in your own life choices. It's carrying the entire experience on its back, respectfully. So yeah. I'd come back... but mostly for the view and the potential. If they ever decide to actually do something with this space? It could be dangerous (in a good way). Until then, it's vibes... just not fully realized ones.
