This review is for the appearance and friendliness...

This review is for the appearance and friendliness if the hotel employees, and primarily the Top of the Rock restaurant.

The hotel itself is classy, with lovely carpeting and apparently an excellent cleaning crew. I frequently see a high influx of visitors there, which is a great sign. Upon visiting, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and were able to answer most of the questions I had.

The Top of the Rock restaurant is... Interesting. I've been to this restaurant 3 times- once many years ago, which turned out terrible. Once 3 months ago, which was also not that great. Finally, I visited on the Fourth of July, and was met with an incredible meal from their new chefs. Their menu morphed a little from 3 months before, with some menu items that I had ordered last time (a bread soup and a side) having disappeared. When I tried them, they were awful, so I'm very happy they're gone.

This time, I enjoyed the view of multiple fireworks shows from a perch above the cityscape. I had an incredible meal, with a beautiful dessert at the end that had a wonderful balance.

So, prospective visitor: it is excellent. If you visited once prior, I urge you to try it again. They have vastly improved and it is wonderful to have such a classy experience so close by.
