When we arrived, there weren't any seats outside, so we were offered seats at the bar with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, the counter was dirty, and the bartender, CJ, seemed unwelcoming, possibly because we were older than the usual crowd.

After inquiring about other beers, we ordered a Whistling Swan, a beer, a 'Not a Care in the World,' and two orders of pulled pork sliders. The drinks were okay, but 'Not a Care in the World' was disappointingly light on alcohol. The sliders were underwhelming, with dry cabbage instead of coleslaw, although the pork itself tasted good. Despite the poor service, we ordered another round, but the other bartender (whose name I didn't catch) informed us it would be a while, which it was. Frustrated, we left and went to Margaritaville, where the service was outstanding. This beautiful place deserves much...

A great addition to the NYC Rooftop Bar scene. Great views of lower Hells Kitchen and old New York with the stark contrast of of Hudson Yards and the more modern buildings being erected. Drinks here are light and refreshing (no sugary mixes used here). Food was good (Shishito Peppers and French Fries were both out of this world, while the sliders just missed the spot for us). I will say though, that with a group of 5 at a booth, the table was just a hair too small for drinks and food. Saving best for last, the service was out of this world. Everyone that works here is so nice. They hit the right balance of being attentive to our needs and giving us space to enjoy ourselves. Definitely look forward to...
