    ...almost finished!

    We were looking for a quiet 'rooftop' bar to have a quick drink before the show...and 'stumbled' across The View! What a pleasant surprise to find such a lovely venue in a Marriott! It's worth a visit!!

    My family and I stopped by The View after a Broadway show during a weekend trip to NYC. We just got some light apps and drinks and really enjoyed our time. I was worried it might feel a little gimmicky / too touristy, but the atmosphere was actually great. We walked in after a matinee and got a table for 4 without too much of a wait. Service was a little slow, but our server was friendly and helpful. Prices were a little high, but as to be expected for the area and honestly not as bad as I expected. It was really cool to be able to be able to see the view in all directions, and the floor was moving so slowly you barely noticed. But I did get lost on the way back from the bathroom - my table wasn't where I left it!

    Great revival of a storied spot! Views are still great but no longer the only reason to visit. One of their well executed cocktails is a good start, oyster selection is satisfying and the 18oz dry aged bone in rib-eye is done right.

    The View is definitely a unique NYC experience. The restaurant slowly rotates 360° while you eat, which is a really cool concept but can be a little disorienting at first Lol. Service was on point and the prime rib was easily the star of the show highly recommend it. Right on broadway in Midtown great place to check out if your visiting and need a post/pre show meal

    My sweet hubby took me out on the town in my favorite city in the US, to celebrate my 70th birthday - and our 14th anniversary in March! He's a native New Yorker from Brooklyn, so it's always an adventure when we visit. We experienced a magnificent meal atop the Marriott Marquis Times Square Hotel - in the revolving restaurant, The View! From start to finish, the ambiance, the live piano music, the wait staff - the food - created a memorable night I shall cherish always! There were so many delectable items on the menu, it was hard to decide. We both chose the double-cut American Lamb Chops, flavorful and tender. We paired it with the smooth, elegant and red fruity flavors of the Pinot Noir. The hubby also had the Caesar salad, grilled broccoli and pomme puree. I ordered the creamed spinach and button mushrooms. DELICIOUS!!! The 360-degree view of the New York skyline at night is indescribable! A complete revolution takes about an hour. It was so breathtaking and serene, with the sounds of soft piano playing, muffled conversations, tinkling glasses and ebb and flow of laughter - we were there for two and half revolutions! It was easy to lose track of time - and we never felt rushed! We shall return! I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. Because the 'vibe' as the young people say, is right - and will promote only the most positive outcomes for whatever you have planned! *Special thanks to the wait staff for attending to us with such kindness and generousity. I regret that I have forgotten the names ( should have written them down) - a young man and a young lady - the night of March 21. They were top tier!

    Never went to the previous iteration so I can't comment on how it's changed, but Danny Meyer's USH has taken it over, and I had a great meal here. Called on a Saturday and got a reservation for the same evening. I tried: + Gin martini - excellent + Caesar salad - perfect + Prime rib - excellent + Mashed potatoes - perfect + The view chocolate cake - great + Vanilla ice cream - def recommend with the cake I loved the food, though I could take or leave the rotating restaurant concept (I realize that's the point but lol). Would try the date cake next time.

    48 floors up to the Lounge at The View NY and we had an incredible time. Early for our reservation, we asked to sit at the bar for a drink before dinner. The Lounge has its own menu which includes their signature Katz's Martini and small plates. This was the perfect prelude to dinner which we had in the restaurant just one floor below. Located in the Theater district, the View is known for their rotating views of the NY skyline as they are NYC's only revolving restaurant. That's right -- the floor on the outer circle of the restaurant and the inner part of the building are slowly moving. It was pretty cool to see! Katz's Martini was a nod to Katz's Deli -- Brisket-washed gin with vermouth and pastrami spices, and a pickle. Camila, our server, gave us recommendations as we wanted to try basically everything on the menu. We started with the East Coast Oysters and the Jumbo Lump Blue Crab Cake. For dinner, I had the American Wagyu Picanha and my girlfriend had the Halibut. We split a side of mashed potatoes which were so good that I could've licked the plate. For dessert we went with the Coffee Toffee Date Cake along with an espresso martini and the Whipped and Swirled. Whipped and Swirled was a yummy dessert cocktail with Macallan Scotch, Rum, whipped cream and banana condensed milk. It was dessert in a glass!

    Beautiful time

    Score would have been higher but the server was not the brightest even after instructing her what we needed. Other than that the place was beautiful and I would love to come back here again. Gorgeous atmosphere that should be experienced at least once. Prost!

    Since the View re-opened I have wanted to give it a shot and with my husband's birthday coming up, I figured it was the perfect spot for a special dinner and it was even better than expected. You're greeted warmly at the host stand on the 3rd floor and escorted to the elevator where you're whisked to the 48th floor. We were greeted by the hosts in the restaurant and quickly escorted to our table which had a cool view of the W Hotel to start. Service was great across the board. Our server was professional, courteous and did a great job recognizing the birthday celebration. We started with a cocktail for me (Marquee Old Fashioned- outstanding) and a mocktail for Alp. We were served some delicious focaccia and then we received our appetizers of crispy fried artichokes and shrimp cocktail. The artichokes were a tad overdone but they were still light, crispy and delicious. We loved the shrimp. I had the ribeye with a side of fries and Alp had filet with mashed potatoes. My steak was delicious....tender and flavorful and the fries were great. Alp loved the filet and the potatoes. We did our best not to eat all of our steaks because we wanted to save room for the decadent chocolate cake we'd seen. That cake was outstanding and came with a caramel sauce that was good but it would have been just as delicious without it. We also ordered a Whipped And Swirled, which was like a boozy Magnolia Bakery banana pudding. That could have been its own dessert! Oh, and I haven't mentioned the namesake view! I absolutely loved the 360 degree view as we eat. It was really neat to view the skyline from so many perspectives (although when you're facing the New Jersey side, there's not much to see because there's a big piece of the building blocking the view for about 10 minutes, but honestly, are you going to miss seeing Weehawken???) We were there for about an hour and 45 minutes and almost made it back to where we started. I really enjoyed this and thought it was a perfect spot for a special dinner. It ain't cheap (with tip, our dinner was over $400) but if you deserve a special treat, this is a great place.

    Not a bad place to eat in New York. The view wasn't the best but the sunset made it nice. My husband ordered the ribeye medium and it came to us well done. They cooked a new one and it came back about the same which was annoying. My prime rib had an absurd amount of fat on it but flavor was good. We also ordered the broccoli (not pictured) and it wasn't great at all. Customer service was really good though.

    This is what you come for
    Lillian G.

    It was amazing!! The views from sunset into evening were beautifully New York. There are 2 areas... one for drinks and light appetizers or tapas and one for a full dinner. Make sure you are making reservations for the experience you desire because they are different bookings. We did drinks then went to dinner and it was seemless. My only complaint is that the drink menu is not consistent between the bars. The drink I fell in love with at the upper View area was not on the menu for dinner... our server understood and made it happen for us which made the experience even better! Definitely a must do if you are at the Marriott

    Lamb Chops
    Andrew L.

    First time at The View and had a great experience. We had the Prime Rib, Lamb Chops and Picanha (yes, a lot of meat!) for our entrees and not a miss - they were all excellent. The Brussels Sprouts and Fries for sides were also very good. The Chocolate Cake and Panna Cotta provided a nice finish to the meal. The revolving restaurant and festive decor added to the experience as did our server Lea who was very helpful and friendly.

    Everyone should try a revolving restaurant sometime and this one is a good place to start. The view is excellent. It is basically a steakhouse in the sky. We started with the tuna carpaccio and, not to slight the entrees, it was the highlight. Fresh raw tuna pounded thin with a fruity olive oil, capers, a few slices of onion for texture-really excellent. I had the double cut lamb chops, medium rare, and they were both beautiful and tasty. The portion was very satisfying even for a very hungry person like myself. My companion had the picanha steak and gave me a few bites - it was well seasoned, properly cooked medium rare and wonderfully beefy. The service was friendly and timely. Of course the atmosphere is the main thing and it does not disappoint. Pro tip - the sides are not huge like I'm used to at steakhouses, where they are certainly to share. Here, the sides, though pricy, are sized for one. We shared the mashed potatoes and they were excellent but had I known the portion size, I would have ordered another side. For a gimmicky restaurant, the food and service are on point. As a New Yorker I can say it is worth a visit even if you live here.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.
