Amazing View... BUT....

The ONLY redeeming quality about this place is the view/roof. The restaurant, which is about to open is Vegas all the way, so you can imagine the type of people who will be frequenting the place once it opens....

Great View, need to hire more people

After downing about 14 mimosas apiece at brunch on a Sunday afternoon, my two buddies and I headed to this spot. The sign in the lobby leading up to this rooftop bar lists a few of the restrictions on coming...

Rude Service

Wow, I guess I should have read the reviews of 230 Fifth BEFORE going. I have never experienced such rude service in all the years of going out in NYC. When we arrived, all but about 5 tables where reserved,...

IF YOU LIKE IT CHEESY, TACKY AND RUDE

The warm should be celebrated

Great outdoor space. I went the wekeend it opened and could not believe the size. I saw someone mentioned the crowd was off. To be truthful I didn't notice or care. Anyone with a good self esteem wouldn't need...

Needs help!

If Scarface were to open a club, it would look just like this place. Refreshing to see a venue that was motivated to design the most breathtaking space in recent years. The downside is that the crowd looks...
