The experience of the observatory is exceptional. What surprised me was the lunch. The menu offered something for everyone. We were surprised that we could order off the menu with no up-charge for steak. The food and premium cocktails were great! We did opt for a family- sized dish of potatoes ( $16- could easily feed 4-6) Given the fact that this take lunch would've cost us this much or more anywhere in the city, we felt that this was spectacular value, and considered a must- see for tourists in NYC read more

One World Observatory Restaurant - Stunning Views, Uneven Dining Experience We dined at One World last night, and while the view was absolutely spectacular -- truly the highlight of the evening -- the overall dining experience didn't quite live up to the price point. The food was okay, but not memorable. The filet mignon, while flavorful, was served lukewarm and undercooked in the center due to its thickness. Thankfully, the fries were excellent and ended up being the unexpected star of the plate. I ordered the branzino, which was decent, but there was something slightly off that I couldn't quite place. Service was friendly but inconsistent. There were a couple of mix-ups with our table's orders, and it seemed like there was some confusion about who ordered what. For a restaurant in such a prestigious location, I expected a bit more polish. That said, the ambiance and panoramic views are undeniably breathtaking -- if you're going for the scenery, it delivers. Just temper your expectations when it comes to the food and service. read more

This is such a cute spot- super cozy and bougie. We ordered mocktails and hummus. It was delish!! Our server provided the most amazing service and went above and beyond. Shoutout to Ilardo M. Thanks for making this experience so wonderful. You are amazing! read more

The fiancé took me here for my birthday dinner this year. You get great food with a great view, but this restaurant is way more casual than I hoped for the occasion. The restaurant is on a balcony over the observatory, so the ambiance feels so casual as you see all the tourists taking photos. It's nice if you happen to grab a meal while visiting the observatory, but not exactly a special occasion type of place. Either way, I did enjoy the food here and their dining experience with prefix was a good deal. For $155 per person, you get 2 drinks, one appetizer, one entree, one dessert, and your ticket to the observatory. For NYC, it's a pretty good deal considering the observatory ticket is $50 and two drinks in NYC is easily $25 each. For drinks, I had the Midtown Margarita while he had The Big Apple. The Margarita was nice and spicy while the Big Apple was a fun and pretty pina colada cocktail. Next, we each had the New World Fashion for a strong Old Fashioned drink. Even if you're not here to eat, I'd recommend grabbing one of these cocktails while enjoying the view. For food, we started off with the Hummus ($17) and Roasted Clams ($24). Both were delicious appetizers and well made. Then I had the Berkshire Pork Chop ($47) and he had the Ribeye ($60). The sauce and flavors were all on point, although the pork chop was a bit on the dry side but the collard greens and parsnip helped. The ribeye was absolutely amazing though, especially the wine jus. We also added a side of Truffle Fries ($20), which was an additional cost from the pre-fix. We were both a bit annoyed though because our waiter told us the sides were $5 each, but shocked to see our bill was $25... some weird miscommunication here. Anyways, we ended our meal with Vanilla Creme Brulee ($20) and Sticky Toffee Pudding ($18). The desserts were delicious and really made me super full. They did add a chocolate birthday decor for our dessert, which was nice though. The entire meal took almost two hours, so I am glad we arrived 45 minutes early to our reservations as advised. We were able to start our meal during day and caught sunset by dessert. Once we left, it was night and we enjoyed the observatory afterwards. Tip: book your reservation for sunset, but be seated an hour before sunset. read more

I came here after a yoga at the observatory with my cousin. If you want to have lunch with an amazing view - that's the place! We both decided to try lobster rolls - and they were delicious! Perfect amount of butter, delicious lobster and coleslaw on top. Service was pleasant. I think it's a good place to enjoy some food or a drink while observing beautiful New York skyline. read more

Dining a thousand feet up in the sky? Yes, please. ONE Dine is an absolute treat--equal parts experience and exceptional cuisine. We started by soaking in the 360-degree views from the One World Observatory, which is already stunning on its own, and then took it to the next level (literally) by heading up to the top floor for drinks and dinner. The food was phenomenal. The burrata was creamy perfection, the whole fish was cooked to impress, and the mac and cheese? Cheesy, rich, and totally comforting. The entire menu was thoughtfully curated and delivered on flavor. The ambience had that perfect mix of chill and upscale--great lighting, modern decor, and an elevated vibe (pun intended). Service was just as impressive--attentive, warm, and never rushed. Best part? It's a full evening wrapped into one: breathtaking views, a stunning setting, and a fine dining experience at a surprisingly affordable price point. Highly recommend for a date night, celebration, or just treating yourself to something unforgettable. read more

I went to visit One World Observatory, and found they have One Dine @102 floors with spectacular views of the city. No lines, and I had a leisurely relaxing lunch on a perfect sunny day, with no clouds in the sky. I was going to order a small plate and a drink, but decided on the Pork Chop Cauliflower Purée, Swiss Chard, Marsala Mustard. Delicious! Chocolate Lava cake with Vanilla Gelato and Fruits and Mint. The cake was delicate soft Guinness Stout to drink. Juanissa was my server, nice, friendly. read more

Unparalleled dining experience! We had dinner "on top of the world" (101st floor) after visiting the Observatory, and enjoyed amazing views and beautiful sunset. The city lights at night completed the experience. We arrived early for our reservation and they were able to seat us immediately. Staff was wonderful, and all drinks and food was excellent. As noted, be aware that 18% gratuity is included in the bill. We loved the broccoli fettuccini and spinach lasagna (red sauce was some of the best I've ever tasted). The red sangria, which is my usual drink, (made with ONE red wine) was one of the best I've had! read more

What an incredible vista! The team here was incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient in their service. And off course the view is incredible in every seat even at the bar. While the prices seemed reasonable at first glance, the cost can escalate if you're solely dining in, as you're required to purchase tickets to the observatory. While the food was good, it didn't quite blow me away. I particularly enjoyed the crudo as a starter. One aspect that struck me as odd was the significant variance in portion sizes for the main courses. While it wasn't an issue for us as we opted for family-style dining, the disparity between the octopus and chicken portions was quite remarkable, but our server did warn us of this when ordering. read more

This restaurant was fabulous. The views of New York City from the 101 floor are spectacular. Our hostess made us feel comfortable in our sitting area and even offered to take our photo. Our waiter, Mr Haque, was the best in providing us with a tremendous experience. The food and drinks were great and served to us on time. The restaurant was immaculate, including the decor and the clean restrooms. The general manager, Ms Josephina, was attentive and friendly. Overall, our experience was great.

Beautiful views, as expected, on the top of WTC. Cocktails were pricey at $23, but again, as expected. I enjoyed the Uptown Martini more than my partner's New World Fashion. We sat by the bar as we came here after work and didn't think to make a reservation for a table by the windows. Nonetheless, we were able to capture the beautiful sunset views from the bar. Service was average, and we had to remind the bartender for some water - this is NYC, you get a glass of New York's finest as soon as you are seated. read more

Food was delicious. Nothing to complain about. Expensive for what we got but the experience and service made it. We sat at the bar because we didn't have reservations but there is honestly not a bad seat in the restaurant with panoramic views of the city. Check your check for the 18% gratuity. I had to add to make it a 20% because I thought our server, Jason, deserved more. He was very kind and I enjoyed watching him pay close attention to detail in every drink he made. We ordered several appetizers for the four of us to share. This was definitely the most expensive meal we had in NYC but it is an "experience"! We all agreed that the wings were the best between all the other dishes we ordered. The baratta was missing some salt. The dish lacked in flavor and well as the flatbread. Something was missing but I could put my finger on it. The cauliflower was also a favorite and one that I would definitely order again. The pork belly was was just OK but felt it was lacking something. All in all, we really enjoyed it and would go back for a drink but might skip the pricey food. read more

California girl on a road trip. We got to the observatory on a very rainy day. The day that some areas of New York got flooded. We decided to wait out the storm and opted to get dinner at this restaurant. The server at the bar was friendly and quick. The food was alright. Nothing special. Definitely pricey but I guess if you get the amazing view it's worth it. Drinks are also very overpriced. read more

Highly recommend the lunch experience. $80 each (included one app, one entree and one cocktail) and admission to the observatory. Large portions, cocktail and food were very good. My husband had the burger, I didn't take a picture but it was very good too! Wait staff was excellent and very personable. All well worth the price. read more

Stopped by for a celebratory drink after spending a few days in NYC for my birthday. I knew I had to treat myself to a beverage with a view. And what a view it is! I was originally seated at the bar and was able to move to the window. It was mid afternoon when I went here, not too busy, which was nice. The staff was friendly and made the experience emoticons. Next time I'm in town, I'll need to check out the food. The dishes were great from what I saw and smelled! I'm glad I ended my trip with a visit to this restaurant. read more

We booked the all day happy hour which is an app and 2 drink experience - comes out with tip as just under $400 for 4 for $100 each including tip. Had the charcuterie and the hamachi. It also includes your ticket to observation deck which you can do before and after. Both very good and good size portions. Had booked for sunset time but it was a cloudy day. Seating at high tops along the windows. Pretty cool deal. Nice to relax and take in the view after crushing day of 911 tour followed by the museum. read more

I visited on a Saturday night. I recommend making a reservation. It is not absolutely necessary as there are plenty of people that just walk up, but they take you quicker with a reservation. I saw previous reviews of people complaining about having to buy observatory tickets and not knowing when they made reservations - it CLEARLY says it all over the website, as well as open table, or other reservation service you may use. Be prepared to arrive early enough to go through security, and a short presentation in a theatre before making your way to the restaurant because there is no direct route (only reason I am not giving 5 stars) to the restaurant. Once you arrive, the ambiance and views are just simply unbeatable. You quickly forget the few minutes you spent to get up there. The food and drinks were amazing. They definitely surpassed any expectations I had in my mind. I had the Big (pine) Apple which was very good and refreshing. I also tasted the Cinnamon Times Square which was very tasty. Ordered the burrata as an app and it was extremely fresh, and very tasty (can be shared by 2). I ordered the Steak Frites, which was simply incredible. It was cooked to perfection, had good taste, was very tender, and the port demi it was in was soooo tasty, I could have drank a glass of it! I had a taste of the roasted miso cauliflower, which was extremely tasty and delicious (and I am NOT a vegetable guy!). Finished with a glass of champagne, and it is definitely a meal and night to remember. Service was excellent and I will definitely go back in the future. read more

I will start by saying if you are a New Yorker stay far away, if you are from out of town have fun. My wife and I remember Windows On the World, and have very fond memories from that time - this was nothing like that. Don't expect a fine dining experience here. I mean the first thing the host said to me was "do you have a reservation" no problem with that but before I can answer "because we only hold it for 10 minutes". Who does that? I realize expectation is key depending on where you go. I'm not going to go to Dino BBQ in BK and expect Michellen star food or service. If your looking for fine dining don't expect it here you won't find it. We did not stay and ended up leaving and going to Nobu down a few hundred stories and few blocks over. The only reason why I gave this place 1 star is the amazing view. read more

They make you spend 50 usd per person extra to even get into the building to get observatory tickets. YOU NEED TICKETS TO GET INTO THE RESTRUANT!!! and the menu has 2 entrés and they look like bar food and taste like bar food and are way overpriced. And the food was mixed up and it tasted like literal dog poop. The chicken Melanase tasted like a Greek gyro but a horrible one. I would have rather eaten out of a dumpster. Everything was bad and absolutely disgusting. NEVER EVER EVER GO HERE read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food here!!! I was a little nervous because it is a tourist trap, due to the location inside the World Trade Center, but I was very pleased with my meal. I ordered the burger, which came with red onions, lettuce, tomatoes, a sunny side up egg, OWO sauce, bacon, and American cheese, with a side of fries. The meat was great quality, was cooked how I requested, all the flavors blended together well, and the bun was fluffy and fresh. The fries were thin and crispy, and went well with both the pickle on the side (and the extra side of OWO sauce). For a drink I ordered the spicy jalapeño margarita, it had a nice little kick to it. I thought the atmosphere was amazing, we were sat next to a table near the windows (per request), and were able to watch the sunset. I can understand how people would be upset if they came here for the view, and were sat at an inside table with no view (quite a few of those). I appreciate that I was able to use our $15 vouchers (from our priority ticket into WTC) for dinner; not necessarily "just" a cocktail (as previously stated). I would not eat here unless I was already paying to go into the WTC (because a $38 entrance ticket is required), but the food and the views were worth it, atleast once!! The views of NYC at 100 stories up are absolutely stunning. I think after reading most of the poor reviews, they're based on the fact that 1. They did not know you had to pay to get into WTC to get upstairs to the restaurant and/or 2. They did not get a table near a window. read more

Holy...We took the train up from Philly. We did the 9/11 museum tour and part of the "tour" included the One Observation tour/sighting. Legends runs the nice sit down restaurant...wow. Certainly a once in a lifetime bucket list item checked off. The short menu is reflective of the building, simple and beautiful. To get right down to it we each ordered something different with the intention of sharing the flavors. So...New York steak, carrots, roasted chicken and Chinese broccoli, Sea Bream, with pommes frites and mussels. We enjoyed every single bite, passing the sides around the table and negotiating bite trades with each other. Of course you're paying for the experience but the service from Matt the manager on duty and our server Andrea was stellar and much appreciated. We passed on the dessert and rushed towards our soon to depart train, Experiencing at NYC taxi ride during Friday rush hour. Yee Haw Thank you all Foodguy-Martin read more

We had a wonderful experience at One Dine. The restaurant manager called me one the day of my reservation to confirm and provide advices on how/when to arrive. Even though we arrived 30 minutes before our reservation time, we got table right away. We were greeted with a special occasion card. The restaurant has small, well curated food menu, and a huge drinks menu. The food and drinks all were so well prepared. Strawberry Fields ("Lemonade") was good. The Branzino was so delicious, crispy skin, with perfectly soft filet. Rest of the ingredients completed the fish. The Fliet Mignon and Lobster tail was equally a star. The Lobster tail was soft and already cleaned from it's shell. The steak was delicately cooked, very tender. We also got the Lava cake for dessert, again delicious. It was the perfect end to a memorable evening!!!! Because the restaurant requires buying tickets to One world observatory, it discourages me to visit this place more often. Food taste - 5/5 Food prep time - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Price - $$$$$ Restroom - 5/5 Items: Pan Seared Branzio - 5/5 (Excellent) Filet Mignon & Lobster Tail - 5/5 Molten Chocolate Lava Cake - 5/5 (Must try!) read more

The reason I'm giving this two stars is because the food was excellent and tasty, and you can't beat the view. Otherwise, months later, I'm still livid over my experience here. I was in NYC for a job interview in One World Treade Center, and decided to see the observatory and dine before my interview. I bought special tickets through OpenTable when I made the reservation that were supposed to cover the entry of the observatory as well as one entree and one drink for lunch. When the server brought the bill, I was mystified that I was charged full price. When I asked about the OpenTable special, she said, "oh that just means you get $7 off a dessert" or something along those lines. Not only that, the hostess kept asking me if I was okay. I'd travelled from another state, was extremely tired, and nervous about my interview. Way to make me feel strange about dining alone. I left a review on OpenTable and the manager contacted me. I sent her all the proof that I had been way overcharged, and she promised me a free entree, etc. next visit. Well, I contacted her with no response, so here is my review. Avoid this place - it is a scam if you buy the "special tickets." And the service wasn't great. You're better off going to Balthazaar if you want high-end, because the way they treated me is egregious and I haven;t forgotten it. read more

The Observatory/VIP tour was excellent, but the restaurant experience at One Dine was a complete disappointment. Despite arriving 20 minutes early and politely requesting a window seat, we were abruptly cut off and spoken over by Tracy, who was unprofessional and visibly irritated. Her attitude was aggressive and dismissive from the start. Things only got worse when our server, Andrea Lee, showed zero interest in providing basic service--barely speaking, disappearing for long stretches, and making the entire experience feel like a burden. Save your money and skip the restaurant; do the observatory tour and dine elsewhere. On top of that, the menu changes every few months, so don't expect to get what you see on Yelp or OpenTable. Our options were limited and underwhelming. read more

I debated giving One Dine 3 or 4 stars. The view is definitely very nice but you have to pay the observatory fee to order off the a la carte menu. It is also a maze to get to the restaurant. The food and drinks are quite expensive. For 2 mock tails, 2 appetizers and 2 main dishes, it cost over $80 per person (18% gratuity included). With that said, the food was good. I had fried brussel sprouts and the sea bream. The food also took a very long time to come. We were chatting so I'm not certain but probably over 40 minutes. I would recommend trying One Dine if you are already inside to enjoy the view. The service was pretty good as well. read more

Not recommended for your own money but ok to visit if invited. I typically avoid restaurants located on an expensive piece of real estate, i.e., with good views, etc. because food at those places is not good. I came away pleasantly surprised. Food is far better than I expected. That being said, I wouldn't necessarily recommend anyone eating here, while the observatory probably is a worth a visit. I didn't pay my own money to be clear. Why not? The setup and ambiance are surprisingly not up to what you would expect. Food - good fried cauliflower. Good fried chicken. Good steak. Good pasta. Everything was solid. Nothings to fault here. Service - not bad. Not particularly attentive. Ambiance - not as good as you think. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the two story observatory. The second floor is like a tucked in terrace, far removed from the glass outer walls. The restaurant itself is just small section separated by stanchions. read more

We visited the One World Trade Observatory without a reservation, but were able to be accommodated at the bar. The bartender was incredibly kind and accommodating. I recommend buying the more expensive tickets to include "$15 off food or drink" it was worth it. The food was good, and the espresso martinis were delicious, made with real espresso. The view of the city was breathtaking, especially as we caught the sunset, which made for an unforgettable experience. read more

I give this place 3.5 stars. We only ended up here because with the All Inclusive ticket you got immediate entrance to the observatory rather than the Standard ticket which wanted us to wait nearly 90mins before we could enter. $20 difference in ticket price but you get $15 off Drinks. However, with this ticket type I believe they only let you sit at the bar (with your back to the view), the tables are only for regular diners - not the people conned into buying the all inclusive tickets!!! However, it was nice to sit at the bar, cocktails were ok. Service was decent, 18% is automatically added on to all tabs, so they don't work too hard! Would I come again, no. read more
