Rainbow Room Reviews

Brunch at The Rainbow Room was everything I imagined it would be. It is elegant dining with a spectacular view of New York City. The food is exquisite with a variety of delicious cheeses from all around the world, meats marinated to perfection, fresh fruits and deserts, honey on the honeycomb, exotic juice blends, and of course delightful choices from the menu and bar. The food in and of itself is worth the price, and dining at such a distinctive beautiful place is an ethereal experience. The chairs and table cloths are silver, crystals shine in long windows, the jazz band was exceptional, and the servers clearly like their work and take great pride in their profession. I felt like royalty while dining here and would recommend this extraordinary restaurant for a special occasion or to simply have an unforgettable dining experience. It is easy to see why this glamorous place is so renowned.

Beautiful views make justify the expense. Definitely rarefied air.

Great food with an amazing view. There was live music, and they were quite good. Overall a fantastic experience.

A magical experience! I was impressed with the service we received at the bar and during our dining experience. However, the Bar SixtyFive staff who made arrangements for my party, and particularly Bibi's professionalism and ability to make the night even more special and memorable, exceeded my expectations.

Such a commitment to great customer service is to be commended. You can be sure that I will continue to do business with the Rainbow Room establishment for years to come.

I went for a reception and had some wonderful food. The venue was beautiful.

This is a very elegant place for you and your loved one or significant other to hang out and enjoy the food to drink and definitely the sights of New York City

Booked table to celebrate wife s 40th birthday. The view is breathtaking and the setting is plush. The cocktails were varied and tasty. The whole experience was let down by really poor standard of food, which was grossly overpriced. The More

Perfect place to eat. Great Views all round.

If your looking for a small bite or something bigger your in good hands.

Incredible view, like the top of the rock for the price of a conso. We did not book and so we were given a 20min slot when we arrived to take pictures outside. It was a Wednesday night and the bouncer was not looking too much at our outfits.

Best meal I have ever had with the best view in the city! One of the best moments of my life up here, although the bill was alot I would have paid more for the experience

The food was good but the eating experience around it wasn't great. It felt rushed, would definitely go back for drinks though.

Saw people in there without collared shirts but probably best to wear one to be on the safe side.

There's a 1 drink minimum if you're going up.

Book ahead for a table and you bypass the queue, or at least we did.

Amazing views all round.

This is the most beautiful dining room I've ever seen! It isn't often that I find places worth the hype, but walking out of the elevator on the 65th floor and entering through the french doors of a bright white room with round tables and crisp linens, observing men in white coats polishing crystal stemware made me feel like Anastasia... or Annie! Lol. It was a sensory overload in the best possible way. I arrived during breakfast and neo classical jazz was playing in the background, and it happened to be raining, so the chandeliers seemed to glisten even brighter in contrast to the melancholy blue grey skyline blurred behind raindrops on the panoramic windows. Every texture seems lush. Every detail considered... I can't wait to return for cocktails after 5pm when the bar opens!

Fantastic dining experience. Wonderful staff, great views, overall excellent value. A brunch to remember.

I spent the weekend in New York doing fancy things. This was the best of all. Food was amazing, service was spot on, live band was playing jazzy swing tunes and it was a wonderful ambience. Highly recommended!

Great open spaced bar/dining area at the Top of the Rock. I definitely would recommend going here instead of the observation deck as the price for a drink here is usually less than the ticket price, with the same views. We went in for a drink, however a waiter seated us at a dining table, so we wouldn t have to stand. We were feeling celebratory so had a bottle of champagne which didn t disappoint. This is the perfect place to enjoy champagne, if you can t there, then where? Bathrooms were nicely decorated and clean. It did get very busy as it got later, so I would definitely recommend getting there for opening time or as close to it as possible. We also got to see the sunset by coming around this time.

I was expecting low quality in food but it was particularly good! The cocktails also. The view is priceless!

The view was amazing! The staff was great. We came here to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We made a reservation and arrived early. From the moment we walked in the door everyone treated us as royalty up until we were seated and our server took over. My husband and I do not drink so we ordered water, she seemed to lose interest with us quickly. We waited 15 minutes and she never returned but visited the table next to us several times. We ended up leaving without eating. Or getting our water. Disappointed at the end, but it turned out for the best. We ended up with amazing pictures from their balcony and had an amazing dinner somewhere else.

What a view! Bartenders are very knowledgeable. Good service!

Ideal place to photograph the New York sky line from the 65th floor of Rockefeller Center either during the day or especially at night, you can have a drink (the prices are not exorbitant, a beer $ 12), the site is refined and has a great atmosphere.

Wonderful evening at the Rainbow Room! The view, the food and drinks and especially the staff made it the most memorable night for our family. Thank you!!!

good place, but service is very bad!!! you have to wait a long time to be served. Very beautiful panoramic view at night. you can try once...

Located literally one floor below the Top of the Rock, the view is similar to that of his upstairs neighbours. Note that you are going to end up paying the same price - cocktails and food with a view have their prices.

still one of my favorites for sunday morning brunch. food quality is incredibly good

The rainbow room was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were treated like royalty. The service was amazing I can't say enough about this place. White Glove service with dinner. food that is out of this world amazing if you're a foodie. Put this on your bucket list for when you go to New York you won't regret it!

Bar 65 is nice. Outside area was closed for the night.

There is always another level but this is right up there on the 65th floor.

Loved this bar amazing cheescake and coffee. Alcohol was pricey though.

I do freelance work there as a lighting Tech for special event. The view of the city skylines are amazing, just the Ballroom and it history just don't get any better.

You must hang out at Bar 65 and enjoy the stunning view of the city. Another gem in my hometown.

Superb. To do at sunset (inquire).
Magic to see Manhattan light up.
Cheaper than the Top of the Rock but only 5 floors down.

Delicious food served beautifully. We had 6 different meals and everyone raved. Excellent desserts as well

Make a reservation and dress to the nines. This is first-class dining with a first-class view.

Booked here for my 40th birthday meal , what a lovely place from the entrance to the actual restaurant. Everybody was so pleasant and helpful . We got a lovey seat in the corner where both of us could see outside . Amazing views of the city . We both had the cheese burger it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Waiters constantly kept your glass filled with water . Even tho the place was busy everything was timed to perfection. I ordered the New York cheesecake it was delicious and very quirky.

Amazing views and food but the service was not the best and took away from the experience.

The view is spectacular, the attention very good, the food delicious. I recommend it

Had drinks here one evening before dinner. The drinks are pricey, but you pay for the unbelievable view of Manhattan looking south from midtown and the feeling like you are living the NYC dream, if only for one drink.

I love G&Ts, so I got the rainbow room classic G&T. It was an great cocktail, almost worth the $21. When you're able, step outside onto the observation deck and enjoy the skyline, especially at sunset. It's a real treat for this to be public in such a world class city.

Views from the bar area desire cloudy weather after impressive. Service is immaculate. Nice environment. Dinner was excellent scallops and agreed steak!

Fantastic place for relax, drinking & enjoy the views

Go to special place to celebrate! Just ask mr. Sheffield

What a great place to enjoy Sunday's brunch. The food is extremely delicious

Beautiful ambiance, great food and cocktails. I definitely recommend the Rainbow room

Exceptional view but a service away from a large restaurant or a quality service
Big disappointment for the home

Actually had drinks and appies at Bar 65. Very nice views of the city all around. Nice drinks, not so expensive but we skipped dinner altogether .

Great views and a fun atmosphere that quiet enough to enjoy the conversation at your table

Excellent! Visited for our anniversary. Fantastic views of Manhattan from the 65th floor. Good food and staff were friendly with just the right level of attention. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wow, food here was weak at best and service was lousy. Ordered risotto, no grated cheese to go with it. Cheese finally comes and none for my partner. Didn't even offer us drinks! Dessert should have been interesting, but just tasted weird. (Called a banana split I believe). Of course the place is member only, so as a business you have access, but you really don't want to bring clients here.

Reasonable priced drinks and staff attentive. If terrace is open great views of Central Park and Empire State Building.

Rainbow Room is the premier bar in Manhattan. Sweeping views and great cocktails.

Great time at the Fashion Industry Awards in the beautiful Rainbow Room

What a view .. !! And the Provencal champagne cocktail .. to die for!

I qish they had taken our reservation so we wouldnt have had to stand up at the bar!!! Beautiful experience!!!

Enjoyed the presidential estate or suite, I think its called anyway I was right by the band one of the most posh seats or tables in the whole place, it was a classic memory for an 18-19 yr old!

Wonderful, the food ,the view and the service and staff. CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK

Gorgeous ambiance. Great food and cocktail options.

The views are amazing. As I said in a previous opinion, the service leaves a lot to be desired. They are given of subiditos and grows. At the beginning I gave them some opportunity, but after last Friday I will not More
