Amazing views, cocktail prices as high as the buildings you can see. Dinner menu is limited. Better for drinks and snacks than a full meal

Came for brunch. It was excellent. They have an open buffet as well as a menu to order off of. Come on a VERY empty stomach and with company so you can try a bit of everything. Staff was also amazing.

The Bitches say: A+. It’s true what they say–Rainbow Room serves one of the best brunches in the city. While it may be best saved for a special occasion, brunching here is truly an iconic experience. Read more

Rainbow Room is super open with insane 360degree views of the city and stunning interior design. Totally worth its high expenses if you want to celebrate something really special and decadent

The tenderloin was hot and very good but I was tired of pouring my own wine and water. They leave a bottle of water on the table but at $350 total per person we did not expect to serve ourselves water

Came for Sunday brunch, left me speechless. Be warned that the brunch service is 150 plus tax, but is so complete you can either try the buffet or order eggs Benedict. Formal attire is required.

The much-hyped re-opening did not disappoint. The space offers the most incredible view of the city that never sleeps. The staff was incredibly attentive - service rivaled a Danny Meyer restaurant

The Manhattan and the Staten Island cocktails are great with amazing views across the city. Try the Yuzu Spritz too

Oysters Rockefeller were so heavily breaded it was difficult to fine the oyster. We wished they could could have found the wine we ordered so it could have come before the first course. Poor on servic

Go here for the brunch or generally for amazing city views over a meal or cocktails at night time.

Four gras terrine was okay but not a great presentation. Music was so loud it was not possible to talk. It was almost a Latin but it would have been nice to have a few slow numbers.

The view is unbeatable. A classic, rarefied NY experience

Fabulous views of the city, in a splendid room. Check out the chandeliers!

They had a party of 25 last night so our server explained they were stretched to cover it.

The views at this place are out of this world. What living in New York is all about!

Lobster pot pie was so good and full of lobster chunks.

One of my absolute favorite rooms in all of NYC!

service was not up to par with the environment or the prices. I ordered a drink and they forgot a key ingredient. Rather than replacing my drink they brought me the ingredient in a cup.

Pumpkin soup was an amouse bouche.

Drinks are weak and way overpriced. The food is good but nothing to write home about for that price.

Can be, nothing special.

We had been to rainbow room before and loved it. This was not a good night but at their prices every night should be great. Having a big party interfere with other patrons service is not an excuse.
James H.November 24, 2015
Very disappointing evening. Okay food but awful service.
