Hosted my birthday dinner here this year and had a delightful time. Although it was just one of my closest friends and I, we had a delicious dinner. For appetizers, we ordered the popcorn shrimp. We each had a cocktail until our entrée arrived. I had the branzino with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My friend had the lamp chops and devoured it. We were the last reservation that night, so it wasn't crowded. We were able to get some great photos of the aesthetic. Unfortunately, the kitchen closed before we were able to place our order for dessert. It was my birthday, and I felt like they could have given us a pass. Especially since dessert is something that you don't cook. I can see myself coming back here for brunch one day but not for dinner unless I'm here for a special occasion. read more

No air conditioner, chicken teriyaki was raw in the middle, music was good but too loud far a large group. This place is for a young crowd. Sweet potato was good, kind staff. cocktails are their specialty. read more

Very cute place and nice views depending where you're sitting. Food is mid :( We ordered the spicy tuna taquitos, truffle fries, French toast and steak and eggs. Spicy tuna I would rate it a 6/10 Truffle fries - 9/10 -- love truffle fries especially crispy French toast - 6/10 -- on the drier end Steak and eggs - 6/10 -- the steak had a lot of fat and not seasoned well but the eggs and fries were good. The server was very attentive and nice. I would give her a 10/10. read more

I had a reservation for Sunday May 3 at 8pm for my birthday dinner. Lighthouse Rooftop cancelled it with zero explanation and no way to rebook since all slots are now gone. I called and left a voicemail -- no response. This restaurant cancelled my birthday plans and left me with nothing. No accountability, no communication, no solution. Would not recommend booking here if you have anything important planned. UPDATE: The business responded but their explanation does not hold up. Their own Resy calendar shows May 10, 17, and 24 all open -- May 3 is the only Sunday blacked out with no closed indicator. If they were truly closed, their booking platform should show it clearly. This was my birthday dinner and I deserved basic transparency. Additionally, they claimed to have attempted to contact me, which is false. I received zero calls, zero texts, and zero emails from them PRIOR to the cancellation. This is an integrity issue! read more

The first time I came here was for a Yelp event! I loved it so much, I brought back several friends. However, we were really disappointed in the service. While waiting for everyone to show up, we grabbed drinks at the bar. The bartender made my cocktail and placed it on someone else's used disgusting napkin. When I tried to point it out, he said I insisted it was mine. When I said no and asked for a new one, they finally gave me another napkin. Anyway, food was just decent. I really did not like that they would not customize some of the menu options. Arroz chino was just meh. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

We came on a Saturday and ended up staying almost five hours because the vibe was that good. The food and drinks were a hit across the board, but the standout for me was the Sunshine cocktail the one with condensed milk. So good and different!

HAD A BLAST ! The ambiance, the servers, everything from this place was AMAZING! I definitely recommend to go, you can celebrate parties or just do their bottomless brunch! I love how spacious and bright it is We went for bottomless brunch and the server was AMAZING, he was very attentive and always asking if we needed anything else! The food was okay, portion wise the appetizer we ordered was a little small but the rest of dishes were great! My only complaint was that I ordered a Bourbon burguer which was spectacular but I ordered it well done and I don't think they remembered that, so I realized it was not well done while eating it, it wasn't bad I just felt that they missed that little detail! But aside from that little thing they were spectacular to us!! Ps: they have shows every now and then so you should follow them on their social media to catch up with that! read more

The place is super cute! the decor is really nice and the lady serving upside down nice touch. The views are superb honestly really great space. The food was pretty delicious, I had the burger and it was juice and had a lot of flavor. The fries were just a tad spicy nothing too crazy which was a great touch. My husband had the steak and eggs I tried it and the steak was also very good, not as good as the burger. Mixed reviews around the table for the steak. The appetizers were actually the highlight when it came to food in my opinion. Now for the not so good... The mimosa were horrible, they were room temperature and my husband and someone else in our group were sick the next day. I did not have any of the mimosas and I was not sick! They also were serving white sangria if you want a sugar rush I would have it, it was horrible!!! The drinks for the brunch were the very worst part of the experience. I ordered old fashioned and they were pretty good, BUT I had to pay separate for them which REALLY sucked because I didn't have any of the other drinks and we had to pay ahead for the pre-fixed menu! Would I recommend yes BUT don't drink the mimosa or white sangria! Lastly the food took forever to arrive, like they were not prepare for the group that reserved ahead of time, and the appetizers were not enough! Think your paying for the view and the food! read more

We had a 5pm reservation and it was packed with drunk people. I think they had unlimited mimosa or something. It is a overpriced place. Food was okay, nothing extraordinary. We ordered a side order of sausage and the server told us that it comes 2pcs in a order and was $10. As you can see in the picture, when the order came it was one piece sausage cut it in half and charged us $10. So, i would say their food was not worth the price. I would not be going back. read more

Come here for the views, definitely. You need to make reservations online, they don't accept it via phone call. You also have to use a credit card to make reservations however they don't use the card on file to charge it once you are done. So my question is why do they need it on file? That is annoying. Also, the brunch menu is limited with COMMON food items that doesn't make it stand out from regular restaurants in Astoria. The drinks were pretty good. The waitress took a while most times to check on our table. I was excited to visit this restaurant because I came here last year for a great Yelp elite event but this time around it was lack luster. I had original ordered a parfet but they didn't have any berries or yogurt so I had to get the French toast. Like I said before, just come for the views and take the pictures you need for IG. read more

Lets talk about this place . I came here last night on a whim . After getting to our table my date forgot something in the car and had to go back downstairs to grab it . I sat at this table for 10-15 mins with NO service at all . I watched who happened to be my waitress parade around me the entire time without even asking me if I wanted water until he came back to the table . As SOON as he returned to the table here Felicity comes "Hi ! Would u like tap , bottled etc" girl I've been here for 10 mins already . That was strike one . 2 . Our orders were simple because we werent too hungry (it was late) we ordered sushi, wings , one entree and drinks. The wings were returned because even asking for well done while ordering they sent soggy slimy wings ... the sushi was cool. Drinks were weak . Felicity came back and asked HIM if he would like to see the dessert menu... and then proceeded to clean up our table by ONLY REMOVING his plates from it . Im completely confused at this point because why arent you removing my dirty plates ? Anyway I said yea lets see it because I AM the person who orders dessert every single time ... She brings the menu and gives it to HIM lmao. I had to ask her to remove my dirty plates and she still refused, literally did NOT remove my plates from The table ... if she didnt move his i wouldnt care but because shes only been catering to him our entire time there I am beyond upset . Lol at this point I didnt even order dessert, get me the helllllll up outta here . Please and thanks . Sad part is I paid for the meal . Yea ME . I dont know if she was crushing on my date or what but her behavior was absolutely uncouth and in then causes me to let everyone know, dont come here with a good looking man because you may need to put hands and feet on the staff ... shes lucky they automatically put the tip on the bill be cause she would've gotten 50 cents ... because she only serviced HALF of our table . Girl u better learn how to acknowledge both parties at the table - Especially when you dont know whos paying the bill . Do better Felicity 1/2 star for quick seating, another 1/2 star for the view . read more

Hubby and I had dinner here recently. The venue is spacious with super high ceilings and intimate setting. Good for date night and they have outdoor seatings with a view in warmer months. We start off with Shrimp Tempura Tacos which was alright. I ordered the Wild Salmon and hubby opted for the Bourbon Burger. The burger was pretty good and juicy, but my salmon was lacking flavor. Overall nice ambience, good cocktails, great service and mediocre fusion flare. read more

I attended a birthday party here for a girlfriend in a Saturday night. We had a ball! There were about 20 of us and we were seated in the mezz level. The place is gorgeous and the floor to ceiling views are breathtaking. The entertainment was a whole vibe. I'm talking Aerialists and Carnivale and Drummers and live DJ. We were out our seats a lot just jamming. We were a large party so it took a while to get through our service- we were there just over 3 hours. Not once were we bored though. The service was top notch. The food was great. There were items I wouldn't have thought to try (I'm talking to you Legumes) and some that were just fire (wings- need I say more). We had a pre set menu yet extensive so everything was pretty straightforward. I'm already planning the next group outing back read more

We went to Lighthouse Rooftop in Queens Blvd, Sunnyside last night to celebrate my friend's daughter, visiting from out of town. I thought a neighborhood rooftop would make for a nice experience after their long day in the city but quite the opposite. First, we asked for regular water but were brought still water which seemed bubblish and before we could say anything the server cracked it open and poured it. That should've been the first red flag. The real shock came when the bill arrived: a whole list of additional and unexpected charges including service fee for a party of only three, extra for already overpriced drinks and a credit card fee. Really??? For a place that presents itself as "upscale," place that was surprising, even my corner bodega doesn't charge a credit card fee. What made it worse is that none of these extra charges were disclosed. No signs posted anywhere, nothing mentioned by the server, no heads-up when we placed our order or handed over the card . When I asked the manager, his response was simply, "It's on our website." Seriously! I don't know but feels like a violation of basic consumer protection practices. As for their "birthday celebration" experience it was nothing more than a single sparkling candle. Talk about thoughtfulness- felt like a complete ripoff. Not worth it and definitely not a place I'll ever return to. Nothing against the servers, most likely they might just be following house rules and Im sure they understand cause we topped up with additional cash tips but they should know but if this continues they will lose customers. read more

Lighthouse Rooftop - Receipt with hidden charges not disclosed at all at anytime - Asian Fusion Near Me - Long Island City, New York

The venue is very nice. It's an extremely large venue with upstairs and downstairs seating. They can accommodate large parties. There is also outdoor seating which is great for wormer weather. Service is slow. They seemed to have a lot of staff but they don't seem to be zoned appropriately to cover all of the tables. We waited 20 minutes to be greeted and offered water. Entrees came out at a decent pace. When looking for a server to order additional items, it was very difficult. Management did begin to walk around to greet tables in the latter end of the night. I do want to state that our waiter was very kind and helpful when we did get to speak with him. We also had a substantial amount of food remaining from apps and the buser kept trying to remove the dishes. Our entrees were coming out, but we were still working on apps and would have preferred to leave it on the table. Ceviche mixto is just okay. Lamb chops are flavorful. I recommend Branzino I was told was average Popcorn shrimp- nothing special Drinks are good. I would come back for drinks. This is a newer restaurant so I do believe there is potential. It appeared more along the lines of people celebrating birthdays and events here read more

This is my third time here, but I am writing a review because I came with someone different and had a full-blown meal and not for an event. I really wanted to come here and give a solid 5 review, but the service and the timing of the meals were off. I would expect the cerviche to come ahead of the main dish, but somehow it came waayy at the end. The menu did change this time around. For a place that charges gratuity, I would think that service would be impeccable. It was a bit lacking. I've been to other places where service is so great, and they don't charge for tip as I feel it is earned. I guess you're paying for the atmosphere of the rooftop. Also, the bathroom needs a total cleaning and a revamp. Anyways, for the food, I tried different items such as sweet plantains, which was really good. The truffle mash potatoes were impeccable, and I would order this again. The guacamole and chips tasted alright. Nothing that special about it. The champagne pear dessert was very different from any dessert that I had. You can definitely taste the alcohol in it. I'm going back for a baby shower during the afternoon on a weekend. I'll see how the service and food are during lunch, too. read more

Saturday brunch 2 people in April. Too cold for outdoor seating but nice enough to hang out outside after brunch to take in the lovely views and take photos. Brunch is normally 1.5 hours. We loved our waitress and the rest of the staff. They were all friendly and attentive. The food was amazing! And the cocktails. Lobster benedict, Eggs Purgatory for our mains. Red sangria and espresso martini bottomless drinks. I had only been here at night once before. It's so lovely and bright during the day. We definitely want to come back and try more food after seeing food other people ordered. Great music, and at one point someone came out to play an electric violin to the tune of popular songs. Great afternoon, good and ambiance! read more

Lighthouse Rooftop is a beautiful establishment that creates Mexican & Japanese "collabo" influenced dishes. We were there yesterday and enjoyed Belated Birthday Brunch from the later afternoon and decided to stay to enjoy the dj and some of their fabulous guacamole & chips as well as chicken wings during the beginning of dinner service. Lighthouse Rooftop is on East 37th Street in the Long Island City section of Queens. Once you get into the building, you have to walk in the lobby towards the elevator, press to go up to Lighthouse Rooftop and a hostess is there near the elevator who confirms your reservation and another individual seats you at your table. Lighthouse Rooftop is spacious enough yet gives a quaint, cozy vibe. Lighthouse Rooftop provides a lively, comfortable atmosphere and allows you to partake of their being surrounded by gorgeous skyline views. During brunch service, the sun penetrated through their fabulous windows, and it was equally as amazing to view buildings lit up in the distance as the sunset and day tuned into nighttime. There are lounge areas as well as standard table / seating arrangements w/ a mixture of some cloth chairs as well as leather chairs. Brunch - We had French Toast w / cream & berries and sides of chicken sausage. Bottomless options include either the "Espresso Martini, Sangria & Mimosa" 60-minute package ($20) or the "Sangria & Mimosa" 60-minute package ($15). Brunch Entrees vary between the $20 - upper $30 dollar range. The Red Wine Sangrias, White Wine Sangrias & Mimosas were all good, and both the French Toast and sausage tasted light and delicious. The guacamole & chips and chicken wings w/ dipping sauce we had in the early evening were all delicious. Special thanks to Krystal & Nadia. They were professional, friendly, kind, attentive & courteous and made sure that we had a good dining experience. Thanks for putting the birthday candles on the entree to create the nice "birthday french toast"-lol. Manager Lisa is so attentive and kind, went to patrons tables (including our table), and chekced on people to make sure they were having a great time. The bathroom facilities were well-kept and clean. Lighthouse Rooftop also has a cool bar area.

Had to update and knock off a star because while the quality of the food at Lighthouse has remained the same, prices have gone up somewhat. This time my table did the bottomless brunch, and I was shocked by the price! I swear in the past it was $15 for mimosas/sangria, and $20 if you wanted to include espresso martinis. Now it's $40 and $60 respectively! I'm sorry, that's just highway robbery. I will say, they keep them coming and they aren't strict on the time limit. But I came in excited for the espresso martinis.. when I saw the price, I said no way! I'll stick with the lower tier bottomless. $60 on top of the meal/tax/tip is way too much, sorry Lighthouse. read more

Okay so the food was brought out to me cold, tasted great but I wasnt going to wait a long time again to get fed and complain with the amount of wait for the people, which was not so packed when I arrived at 8 pm on a Friday, which isnt terrible. It does get packed here though but the live entertainment was wonderful!! Music was not all that great too, like I couldn't tell if it was a DJ or the playlist, the volime kept rising so made it really hard to hear and speak. If you want to get to know someone, speak outside on the rooftop. The food like said tasted amazing nonetheless and the drinks were definitely spot on. Per person you can average with tip $75-100 and they have street parking available around the area. Its definitely a fun vibe to check out when it is nicer out though. I enjoyed my first time here enough to return and see if my rating changes. Happy Hour vibes are a go too! I believe everyday 5-7 read more

Came here for NYE because I didn't want to travel all the way to the city so when we heard about this rooftop lounge opening up in sunnyside / LIC area -- we thought why not give it a try?! The place itself is very spacious, includes a second floor. Sadly it was cold out, but the rooftop had a beautiful view and I could totally see myself coming over the Summer to enjoy it. The drinks were strong & they passed around some appetizers - the cuisine is "Mexican and Japanese flavor collide" which included octopus, guac, tacos, sushi, etc which were all very fresh & tasty! My favorite part was that they ended up surprising the crowd with a belly dancer. It hit the night off! Looking forward to coming back! read more

The place is really vibrant and great for Friday nights and weekends. They have a live DJ and dancers which were great entertainment. The dancers also played with fire, which was cool to see. The place is really dim, but overall I enjoyed the vibes and ambience the most. I wish they had more vegetarian options in the menu. Sushi can taste better - I wouldn't get it again because it was cold but the Branzino was delicious! Servers are attentive to our group. I would recommend a larger menu as we were limited in our options for dining due to our dietary restrictions. read more

I came here 11/16 to celebrate my boyfriend's s and I birthday. I love the ambiance of this place, dimly lit, huge but still feels intimate. They have two floors and an outside area. We had: Short Ribs Egg Rolls Popcorn Shrimp Lampchops with Crispy Fingerlings Lobster Linguini Cocktails Lit'Chee Sangria Rising Sun Dessert Mixed Mochi The lamb chops were grilled to perfection. It was juicy and flavorful. I highly recommend the Iamb. The linguini was tasty and came with a lot of clams. I really enjoyed my Rising Sun cocktail. They gave us complimentary shots for our birthdays. I loved you can see the Manhattan skyline from the inside and outside of the restaurant. They are starting brunch this weekend and they have DJs Friday-Sunday. I recommend this new spot to everyone.

As a returning customer back here celebrating yet another birthday. Amazing service, decor was pretty festive for Halloween. Food always amazing. And prices were decent given the fact that we split amongst friends which is always a plus. Drinks were delish.. And because we had been rushed to leave our table due to an event, manager was nice enough to get us a round of drinks and a bottle of prosecco. Cant beat that. Will be back again soon.

I had a prix fixe birthday dinner here in June. Overall the views were beautiful, you could directly see the NYC skyline. They also had a show (kind of burlesque vibes) around 9pm which was a nice touch. However, I will say at basically $100 per person, the amount of food they gave to feed 11 people could have been a bit more. It also didn't include any fountain drinks which was unfortunate because some people in my party didn't drink and we had to pay additional out of pocket costs. The food was tasty however which was a plus. I would definitely return but wouldn't necessarily recommend the prix fixe option for larger birthday parties. read more

I came to Light House Rooftop for Sunday Brunch. For food We ordered the ceviche taquitos which came with three mini tacos filled with red snapper and I felt like it was portioned well. The textures worked and the flavor was there I wish there was more spice I didn't taste the Serrano. We also ordered the popcorn shrimp which was good. For entrees/big plates we ordered the lobster Benedict and taco dorado. I liked my taco dorado it reminded me of a Mexican samosa. The drinks: we ordered the mimosa tower which were strong. It comes with five flavors but I'm sure you can request to have a tower of just one flavor if you'd like. The atmosphere: very chic upscale. I liked it. Floor ceiling windows marble inspired tables. Leather menu covers and a variety of plant life. Service: Our server Jean was very hospitable. Friendly and attentive shout outs to him. My overall experience 3.5 stars. There is a lot of potential for this establishment. The brunch menu was limited but I have an interest in coming back for drinks and to see what dinner has to offer. read more

This place really fooled us with the view -- it's jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Unfortunately, that's where the magic ends. Once you're done staring at the skyline, you'll have plenty of time to keep staring... at your empty glass. The service? Practically non-existent. We waited so long for our drinks I started wondering if they were distilling the liquor on-site. The staff floated around like they were doing us a favor by being there, and actually getting anyone's attention felt like trying to flag down a cab in a blackout. And the food? Meh. Overpriced, under-seasoned, and just flat-out forgettable. It gave "hotel lobby restaurant," but without the convenience or competence. In short: incredible view, but if you're hungry and hoping for decent service, you'd be better off packing a sandwich and taking it to a rooftop park. read more
