    Gave me lids so I can walk around because place was packed.

    Had a great time. I went to a SOS party event. Drinks were good. They didn't have my Amaretto but I ordered Vodka cranberry and pineapple and it bwas really good. I, also, ordered fries and sliders which were amazing. They placed the coleslaw inside the burger.

    I came here for a birthday celebration. Our reservation was for 7pm. The restaurant wasn't busy at first. The music was great. A lot of current popular songs from different genres. At around 7:30 there wasn't an empty set in the house, even the bar was occupied. At about 8pm There was a live burlesque show. Which was very entertaining. One thing I can say although the music was loud you could still socialize with your party and not feel like you're screaming when you talk.

    I've been here twice, however, only during the summer and only during the day. They offer a Pulsd brunch special, that is excellent value, if you plan to order more than one drink. Sometimes during brunch, they have special performances from aerialists, as well as an electric violinist. It becomes very loud and lively at this time if you are seated inside. Outside, it can get quite hot, but there is a great breeze. And it's a much quieter, aside from the elevated tracks of the subway when occasionally goes by, so you can have a conversation with people that are eating with, as well as a great view of the city. The food is solid, with decent vegetarian options. They haven't updated their physical menu so some of the drink options listed were not actually available. The only complaint I have is that they refuse to seat you unless your complete party is here, even if the majority of your party is here; for example, if five people out of six have arrived, they will still refuse to see you until the sixth person has arrived. I'll definitely be back; this is a solid option for a medium size group looking to do brunch without planning too for in advance, willing to travel a little bit into Queens, and with light dietary restrictions.

    Went here for a birthday celebration and the food was amazing. Firt off, this place look great and it was great to see everyone dressed up. It felt great to be a part of this setting. The staff provided amazing service as they explained everything that was asked regarding the menu. Even the dancers they had was great and made sure everyone had a great time. Definitely looking forward to coming back here again.

    5/5 "BRANZINO AL CHIPOTLE SH 37: pan seared branzino fillet, truffle garlic mashed potato Lobster Butternut Squash Chowder Sauce with Chile"- This was really good, all layers were equally good: the fish, the mash & the sauce 3/5 "LOBSTER CRISPY RICE S.SH 26 Black Sesame Seeds, Spicy Creamy Fresh Lobster, Soy Wasabi Sauce, Caviar" This was ok, we weren't a fan of the crispy rice, more lobster would be appreciated 4/5 GUACAMOLE 10 * happy hr special price, originally 20 "Fresh Avocado, Cilantro, Chili Serrano * Grilled Pineapple Yuzu"- really good but skimpy topping 3/5 shrimp tacos- recommend eating this 1st, since it's not good when it's cold, but it was decent 5/5 service they even take pics of you for free, you can buy a portrait if you want

    Rooftop Vibes! I've been to Lighthouse on two occasions. First was for dinner, early January so it was 2 degrees outside (didn't enjoy the rooftop vibes). Next I went the beginning of April for a boozy brunch. Perfect weather to take fab pictures outside. The service is always on point. So is the food. This is a very upbeat brunch and dinner scene. If you're looking for a place to have conversation, no music and catch up this isn't the place for you. The music is loud, DJ spinning hits, performers dancing around the room. It's a total vibe!

    Drove up from Maryland for a galentines day with my girls. We decided to end our day with a dinner at the Lighthouse Rooftop. Let me say this ambiance of the resturant is beautiful, the staff is friendly and the entertainment is amazing. However, the food was the low point of the night. Two of the orders were wrong, which they fixed rather quickly. The other two. Bronzino dishes were cold as if they were sitting or made in advance. By the time we got our food it was midnight so the thought of having to wait for them to remake it was beyond anything we handle. They were accommodating by removing from the bill, but that didnt really fix the hunger. We tried to eat it but the cold, but not appetizing. Parking is also very difficult in this area, we found it better off to pay the $30.00 valet fee. P.S you have to pay the fee up front and they were pretty demanding of wanting a tip before even parking your car. Skip dessert. Nothing to write home about

    VIBE CHECK! Food: (5/5) Service: (4/5) Ambiance: (5/5) My experience at Lighthouse Rooftop was lovely as I celebrated my Birthday. Be mindful that while the space gets pretty lively (and a bit crowded during peak hours), the views and overall vibe make it worth it. The food was flavorful and well-presented, and the rooftop setting created the perfect backdrop for a night out. I had the ARROZ CHINO with Steak and Chicken ( really good and flavorful), for the table The Guac with Plantain chips for the table & Lobster Mac both good. and the rest of my party enjoy steak with Potatoes and Salmon with Vegatables. Service was friendly and attentive, though slightly slower once it got busier. Overall, I'd highly recommend it for date night, a celebratory dinner, or just catching up with friends over good food and great views. I'll definitely be back!

    This place is really nice, we came here for dinner and our server was outstanding and accommodating if the picky eaters in our group. The tables can be a little bit uncomfortable bc it's couches so if someone is going to the bathroom everyone has to get up to let them out but the food was delicious and the ambiance was nice. They played some good music while we were eating and then when we were finishing some girls came out to dance and do a show which was really captivating. Everything we ate was also good: we had the chicken one with sauce and one with sauce on the side, with white rice and asparagus, the steak, the crispy lobster rice, the steak tacos, all was delicious! Highly recommend them, I can't wait to come back in the summer so we can sit outside!

    Easy to get to, elevator up was clean and entrace was clear and sat down for our reservation immediately. The resturant is a Pretty lively spot..great decor and ambiance. Got just in time for the entertainment. However, the music was super loud, too loud for a resturant. Almost clubbish. Our food was a hit and miss. Appetizers was good. The shrimp tacos was fresh and light, the lobster mac and cheese was soo good. My brazino was delicious the mash potatoes it came with was ok and the butternut squash sauce kind of cold. My friend ordered the lamb chops was under seasoned and my other friends lobster tail undercooked. The entertainment was engaging and lasted about 20 mins..everyone enjoyed the show. I would come back for apps and drinks.

    I am actually surprised that it close8at 12 AM for NY that is kind of early! Our group got there late, we stayed till closing time. 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.

    Views are beautiful but this place is not worth the cost. Came here for a birthday brunch and they charged for everything. There is no parking in the area because it's located in a warehouse like area of LIC. Parking was $25. Food is mid and overpriced. We also had to pay $25 per person for entry into the restaurant on top of the food. The best thing about the place was the dj. I would not go back to this place.

    Amazing view all around. Food and drinks were good! Service was quick very attentive.

    Are the shows held every day or certain days only?

    Weekends only

    How is the parking situation ? Coming with 6 girls for drinks and apps do we need reservations?

    There is municipal parking under the train station across the street. I dont remember if they have valet but you shouldnt have hard time for parking. Yes reservations are needed as it gets packed. And make sure the whole party is together when… 

    Is there parking?

    Yes, on 7/20/24 there was valet and street-metered parking.

    Hi is there an age limit ?I would like to take my 16 year old niece for her birthday.

    I found this on their website: "A 21+ age policy is enforced starting at 10 pm each night. All guests must present a valid government-issued ID, such as a valid state ID, passport, or military ID, after 10 pm."

Medium spice was not spicy at all for us. - Duck curry: a bit small on the portions but the curry is magical. Was scraping this plate clean. - Bo luc lac: star dish for sure. Beef melts on your tongue and the marinade is slightly sweet and smoky. - Summer rolls: small portions but the flavor is there. Super refreshing and special bc they pickle the vegetables inside. - Crispy pork belly: reminds me of the crispy pork I had in Vietnam. Really well done, pairs well with the lettuce and herbs. That green sauce is so addicting. - Papaya salad: super refreshing, nice fish sauce. - Crab fried rice: reminds me of the din tai fung fried rice bc of how clean the flavor is. Great dim ambiance for a date or dinner out. Definitely coming back soon.

The pad thai noodles are a big thinner than i've had before but that didn't bother me, it has such great flavor too. I recommend ordering it spicy, it's the perfect heat if you're looking for that kick but don't add it if you can't handle spice. The drunken noodles are not spicy in my opinion but i can handle a bit of heat. Loved the flavor and the noodles had the right texture, could've done without the huge chunks of tomato but great otherwise. The summer rolls were good, hard to mess those up. We also got a free mango salad with the order and that was so fresh and delicious. We just popped in for pick up but the hostess was really nice and attentive as soon as we walked in. It looked to be a nice casual spot, could be good for dinner with friends or date night.

One of those terms is that there is a $25/pp fee for late cancelations or no shows. **Given the rules, I think it would be nice if THEP informs everyone when they book reservations that there is a great likelihood that you will be seated at a communal table.** Upon arrival we were seat when 3 out of the 4 arrived. Yes, we were seated at the communal table, which was off putting initially because we were looking for a more private experience and opportunity to catch up. However, we powered through and made the best of it. Service started off shaky and rushed initially, with incorrect drink orders presented. However once we all settled in things improved. The food was good and the atmosphere was lovely. A few entrée dishes were unavailable and required a little flexibility in the night's taste palate. Overall Thep was enjoyable and I would like to return now that I know what to expect. Just A Note: If a communal table is not ideal I would suggest reaching out directly to the restaurant to see if something can be arranged.

The service was pleasant, friendly, efficient and helpful from the minute we walked in without a reservation. The ambiance and decor was gorgeous and took me out of NYC for a moment. The phenomenal taste of the first sip of the Thai Iced Tea that paired so well with the rest of my meal is the reason behind the first picture I took. For the apps we ordered my favorite- Chicken Curry Puffs and Chicken Satay. The Chicken Curry Puffs were soft and perfectly mashy on the inside and had a perfect crisp to the layered outside. The Chicken Satay was so different here and yet so savory served with this soft garlic bread. The sauces were so fresh, vibrant and distinct and added to both the appetizers. The peanut sauce had crushed peanuts and was such an accompaniment to texture. For the mains, we had the Chicken Pad Thai and the Braised Beef Short Rib in Penang Curry. The Pad Thai was a great standard and tasty with the crisp sprouts and zesty lime. This Braised Beef Short Rib is where it is at! One of their house specialties- the decadent flavors and textures of this dish is something that will be memorable and just the right touch of spice. Lovely bright orange sweet potatoes and beautiful green beans went so well together with the beef and curry. Looking forward to trying more of their menu and not defaulting to my usual. Warmed up Chicken Pad Thai on the pan over the stove today in a little bit of butter, this was as delicious as it was going to get today. I missed one of the most exquisite Thai Iced Teas I've had in a while, it truly set the tone of how great this late lunch was.
