    Easy seating, wonderful service, and good food. Cost was extremely high for what we ordered, even by NYC standards.

    450 dollars pour un simple buffet alors que c’était vendu pour un dîner du 31 c est une pure arnaque . Nous avons les mêmes buffet pour 20 euros en France avec plus de choix et plus qualitatif. On nous as encore réclamé 40 dollars pour les des soi-disant taxes alors que tout avait déjà été réglé. Je n ai pas pour habitude de faire de mauvais commentaires mais cette offre est a fuir…

    Todo estuvo bien hasta que nos pasaron un complemento de cuenta por impuestos. Se suponía estabas pagando la cena al pre pagarlo en OPEN TABLE. No es la primera vez que reservo y pago una cena de año nuevo pero si la primera vez que nos pasan una cuenta extra al final por un IMPUESTO de $38 USD

    Very disappointed given the amount we paid. First, the food was less than desirable (quality, taste, temperature, etc), and the variety was not great. Would have much preferred a seated dinner with menu to a buffet. Secondly, for that much money dessert was merely a plate of bite size truffles and trinkets and none but one type were edible; fortunately, the wait staff were considerate and brought us extras of those upon request. Third, for that much money, at minimum a glass of champagne should have been included along with drinks and the fact that we had to pay extra for both was off putting. Finally, and worst of all, we were made to sit in what looked like an overflow room off the main buffet/kitchen area and it was just a few tables in a room with no ambience, no view of Times Square, and away from the main sky lounge and the live music/entertainment. Very disappointed overall with this experience.

    Not worth the money. Expensive already for New years, be aware the price does not included the taxes so cost another 90 USD. Includes only one drink, not drinks. Food was average no desert bar, given a few pieces on the table to share so couldn’t choose. Waiters never came back to offer any other drinks

    One of the worst buffets I’ve been to. Other people left without eating anything at all. For $150 per person I expected a much higher level of service and food - especially food. They did give us vouchers for breakfast the next day, which was nice.

    It was quiet when I was there as there were only 2 other guests, so noise level and energy level would probably be higher with more people during busier times. Great staff.
