    Good to experience once. Super expensive, so only go for a drink - not the whole night.

    Expensive! Bad Service! But still worth the view! Tip: you don't necessarily have to buy something to enjoy the view!

    Staff seemed rude at first, but it must be tourist burnout. We started chatting them up, and they got personable.

    While the Observatory on the 97th floor is a popular spot, you'll have an even more memorable experience lounging, cocktail in hand, overlooking the same skyline. Read more

    Views are incredible, but don't go on a crowded day. Service is poor - they are likely understaffed.

    I agree with the other comments of the rude service. They had plenty of window tables and the host refused to allow us to be at the window. We ignored the rude service and enjoyed the night.

    Total tourist trap. No dress code, no exclusivity, no view, no service, expensive as hell. Not the experience you’re looking for.
