This is a pleasant restaurant for a pre-theatre lunch. Proximity to Times Square is its best attribute. The food is good,but the service was extremely slow and not well trained.

Not easy to get to, no near parking. Restasurant is very open, all the way in back of hotel lobby and bar. Food was inadequate, menu limited. Butternut Squash soup tastedike cinnamon flavored water, Salmon dry. The wine list was also very limited. All in all, not a pleasant dining experience, unfortunately.

It was nice to be able to be in a restaurant that was so quiet, especially on a night like Valentine's day. However, it was quiet because nobody was there. The food was alright, but overpriced, and the service was nothing special. Good wine, and a nice view, though. I would only go here for drinks, unless you are specifically seeking a place where there won't be other people.

The food was good but expensive. No Maitre D, no hostess, and few customers. The bar was busy and very noisy, but there was very few customers in the dining room. Lonely. Decor has been allowed to deteriorate. The only reason to eat here has been its location--particularly for the Roundabout's American Airlines theater. Wolfgang's Steak House on 41st should virtually put them out of business if they are not already there.

At ABOVE, I had the best Cuban sandwich I'd ever had! The Restaurant Week menu was wonderful, and the black bean soup on it rivaled my own. There was avocado diced atop the soup, and also crispy pancetta-like croutons. All in all, a very satisfying lunch. Our waiter, Gazi, is a favorite of ours, too.

The write ups we read talked about this spectacular view. When we got there, it was a simple view midway up the hotel. The restaurant is basically the hotel lobby restaurant. Service was okay. The waiters seemed like they were more bothered by our presence. The food was okay. So, nothing really special.
