High Bar New York — Restaurant in New York

My guest and I kindly asked DJ JON QUICK to play 1 (one) song on the night of July 2, 2019. He said "ok I was actually going to play that song next". However, 10 songs later he never played the song. It was special request because we celebrating a birthday on a Tuesday and purchased 6+ champagne bottles. The song we requested was "Club Goin up on a Tuesday". We kindly asked him once again because we've been waiting. He refused and instead shouted out on the microphone... NO SPECIAL REQUEST GO HOME TO PLAY YOUR OWN MUSIC. Wow! that was super RUDE! He was only catering to his own friend requests that were directly in front of him. DJ JON QUICK does not deserve to work at the HI BAR for not respecting people's time and money at this establishment. A DJ is required to provide an enjoyable music service for everyone not just his friends. And if he had a little too much to drink this night. He should be reprimanded for drinking while on duty. His own friends even came over to us to apologized for his behavior- that says a lot of Mr. Jon Quick. HI BAR you will continue to lose high end clientele with this DJ Jon Quick. He's a drunk rude DJ and doesn't deserve a position in a...

I'd give 0-stars if that was possible, since I didn't actually get to eat here, but I suppose a 1-star review will have to do since I did have some interaction with staff.

For my first dinner date with my, now, partner I wanted to do something special. He had mentioned that he's never dined at a rooftop locale (and neither had I) so I booked a table for 2 and headed off to surprise him.

Surprise indeed! They booked the rooftop for a private event, but never emailed/texted existing reservations to inform them. Instead I arrived and was told there were no reservations. I showed mine to the hostess and she said, "We're not honoring those."

I asked for a manager (maybe I can get a raincheck or something) and was told that he was busy upstairs and that I can go to the hotel lounge if I want. That didn't fit my plans for this special occasion. We did find a gem of a place a little later (check my other reviews).

High Bar set it truly low. Poorly handled. No smile. No attempt to apologize. No communication skills. No second...

I came with a few of my friends on a Sunday evening. We order food which took forever. When the food finally arrived, we were very surprised by the bite size items. Aside from the food being very minimal, the food was semi warm. The mini slider buns were extremely hard and seemed as though the food had been sitting out for some time, which I later learned it was. The only good item was the crab cakes (despite the quantity/sizing for the price). Because the waiter was attending to bottle servicing, she barely gave us attention. One person in my party, asked her for a drink and she responded saying she is only dealing with bottle service, so please go to the bar. Fast forward, as we were closing the bill, we realized the card she asked to hold at the beginning, was missing. She misplaced my card and id. But later found it. To sum this experience up, the service isn’t the greatest and nor is the food. The place is nice. But if you decide to go, eat before or...
