We didn't eat, my reviews is for the drinks, ambiance, and rooftop views. Rooftop view gets 4 stars because there is another place that I consider the best. 4 is still great for a night out and fresh air with that excellent romantic ambiance. The inside decor is gorgeous and classy. There is a notice in the lobby about the dress code, is not for the casual look, call ahead and find you before you showed up to prevent access due to the dressing code. New Year our group was out for the whole night so after 12 am, we had to go ti another spot. I wish we could had stayed here all night. Drinks were excellent in presentation and taste. Absolutely great for every kind of meeting, business, friend, family, or romance.

Different menus all three times I've returned and Same star rating…read more At this point I am begging my friends NOT to have their birthday dinners here. PLEASE! On a positive note, the shrimp is probably the best menu item. Seasoned well and the sauce is great. I'd pass on the elote. It is crusted with seaweed which is just weird to me ...but if you like that then hey. The chips with the guac was a miss this time. The teriyaki chicken was cool The chicken chili fried rice was undercooked. And once again the branzino was an absolute miss. All around not one single person liked it . As far as the sides the sweet plantains were great . The mashed potatoes were terrible. I had to show the manager . There was nothing smooth and creamy about this. I literally cut it with a knife. She said wow ok I see . And gave us complimentary shrimp because of it. The desserts are a hard pass . Cheesecake and molten lava cake and just nothing special . The cheesecake is grainy . You can feel the sugar in your mouth. And the chocolate molten cake is a microwaved something if you want to call it cake . Our server was very responsive to our requests. I just wouldn't willingly come here again. Gave it the good ole three tries and now I can confidently say I'm good off it . Don't need to come back . I've had enough strobe lights and loud music. Shout out to the dancers tho! Bravo PS. The bar is top tier . If they opened the restaurant only for bar service, then I would certainly come in for that. Shout out to the elite bar tenders.

I heard great things about saltenas, so I knew I had to stop by and found the perfect opportunity…read moreone day while I was in the area still feeling slightly hungry. I walked onto this small storefront where they had a squeeze rubber chicken hanging upside down to grab their attention inside (which I thought was funny & ingenious). And it really did work - from personal experience. The staff member came straight away. And I got to ordering my food. I decided to order the BEEF & CHICKEN SALTENAS. The saltenas really are empanadas x soup dumplings collab. It's like they put a hearty stew inside an empanadas looking incasing. It was mostly savory, but had a slight sweet kick. The exterior is well made & crispy. The shell is quite thick that the soup doesn't really soak through and really does hold the soup inside really well. All considering, I only got a few drops of the soup coming out when I ate it for the first time. I also added the green sauce inside and it really did deliver a spicy kick. Overall, I like both options. But I do prefer the beef if I had to choose one to buy. If you don't feel like braving the cold and waiting outside in the cold like I did, I suggest you order ahead.

Unfortunately I'm having to recant my previous 5-star review as I've had TWO bad experiences since…read moreoriginally publishing my review.... The first incident was 3.5 months ago when I ordered food to-go and requested extra Salsa Criolla sauce for my jackfruit sandwich....but got home and discovered NO salsa criolla sauce was given to me at all. This was extremely upsetting as this sauce COMES WITH the sandwich. Without it, it's very dry and not as tasty. Today I decided to give them another chance and ordered via Uber Eats. I included a note on my order, "SALSA CRIOLLA - plz don't forget". The food arrived 15+ minutes after the delivery window (which it's exactly their fault as it's a third party delivery service), however I was dumbfounded when once again I discovered NO salsa criolla sauce in my bag. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?! It's absolutely ridiculous that they completely left out something that COMES WITH my sandwich a second time, especially since I wrote an extra note about it. My receipt shows the phrase "salsa criolla" twice (see my photo), meaning there is no excuse for them to have forgotten it this time. This is so unfortunate, because I truly do love their food! However I can no longer trust them. Note to management: train your staff to double-check orders before sending them out. Your receipts literally list out every single component needed for an order to be complete, so there is absolutely no excuse for incomplete orders to keep being sent out like this.

This is the spot…read more This is the spot for a huge platter of delicious Colombian food, perhaps before you go dance it off at the nearby Knockdown Center. I'm not going to pretend that I am the best person to determine what an authentic Colombian experience is (never had the pleasure of visiting Colombia), but if this isn't it, I can't imagine what they're missing. The staff speaks to you in Spanish exclusively, which made me glad one of my boys is Honduran. The TVs all over the place are playing what appear to be Colombian music videos that were made in the 80s featuring old men and attractive young women. They've got buckets of Colombian beer and frosted mugs so cold that the beer turned to slush around the sides. They've got a platter called the Bandeja la Berraca that consists of rice, beans, steak, plantains, eggs, avocado salad, little corn cakes, blood sausage, other sausage (amazing), and a giant side of chicharron. Eat and drink to you're bursting, while adorable Colombian kids run around the place. And rejoice that you live in NYC, where these things can be had.

My partner and I ordered delivery from here. We tried 3 of the items and decided or experience was…read more3.5/5 stars! (Rounding up) He really enjoyed the queso arepas and sweet plantains! The arepas arrived still hot with melty cheese. While I thought they were a little oily for me, I have yet to meet an arepa that isn't so I can agree these were good. The sweet plantains were a little small portion wise but had good flavor. We also tried the grilled corn and queso. This was reminiscent of esquites but missed the mark for us. The cheese was layered on top, almost difficult to mix in as the steam from the cup sort of started to melt the cheese. It also was missing mayo/crema, any seasoning like Tajín/chili powder and it came with a lemon slice instead of a lime :( I'd be open to trying them again, but really to try their juice. Ideally the blackberry, mango or passion fruit juice.

The food is pretty basic nothing to want to come back to anytime soon and pretty high priced for basic food. The crème brûlée custard very good but no torch to flambé the sugar really ? And it took the waiter lie 5 plus minutes to let me k ow as if she was scared to let me k ow . But I still got it and it wasn't bad . The curry cream sauce didn't taste like curry what's so ever , and the grilled chicken was not grilled it was pan seared only. Steak in the beef stew she said was going to be grilled prior and it was not at all more like steamed beef. Gnocchi was perfect suave ws not bad. Wouldn't come back here anytime soon maybe ever .

If you have the money, it's prob fine. But for a special night and meal out, PASS!
