The best shore grilled oysters outside of New Orleans I have ever had. The food service everything was incredible. The gumbo and the jambalaya were over the top. Definitely will go back.

OMG, First time at Rooftop and this is now my go to place when we want something with good food and a spectacular view/setting. The flat bread is the best you will ever have anywhere, and everything else was excellent. Draft beer had perfect carbonation. Service was excellent. Did I mention that the cost is totally reasonable, actually let's call it moderate.

We go here for lunch whenever we’re in the area. Westville Hudson location. Food is very fresh and prepared wonderfully. I had broiled salmon with veggie choices and my husband had a market bowl. Both were delicious!

From the time you walk in you receive upscale service. The servers are extremely knowledgeable and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing. The duck lasagna is a must try. The steaks were perfectly cooked and favorable. One of our drinks was not to our liking and without us even saying anything they basically begged us to change it. This is a mistake try restaurant.

    We brought 6 of us for the tasting menu. It was our second visit and won’t be our last. All I can say is SO MUCH FOOD! By the time the main course came we were already full. Great variety, spice and exceptional quality. Wish there was more room - but that’s NYC. Tight quarters. Our waiter (Anthony) was a repeat from our last visit. It seems we always come on his birthday week. He’s terrific.

    A Greenwich Village landmark with delicious, varied and ample Tex Mex food and delicious, varied and ample libations. Service is friendly and efficient and I suspect that the restaurant's Cow Girl interior can't be found anywhere else except for cowgirl country.

    Loved ! Went for my 23rd birthday, arrived 30 minutes late to my reservations but was still able to get seated in about 40 minutes which is generous in my opinion considering how packed it was and how late i arrived. Food was AMAZING the mac & cheese was my favorite, ambiance is really nice, great music, awesome service and really good drinks. A bit pricey but nothing crazy i definitely look forward to going back

    Excellent service -- hostess and waitstaff were friendly, courteous and attentive. Fabulous food -- we came for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp & grits and the french toast. Love the vibe and the decor! Would definitely dine here again.
