    The food gets a 1 but the ambiance gets a 5 so a 3 it is! We arrived and were told we need reservations even though most of the tables were empty. We were told we could sit at the bar which is indoors but semi open air as the bar area is open on both sides. We walked through the bar area (nice) to another outdoor seating area that looked identical to the reserved section. This area was almost completely empty so we sat down and ordered a grilled cheese and fries ($18!) which arrived quickly. The food was presented in a cardboard take out container with plastic cutlery. No water was offered and despite the waiter(?) hovering nearby staring at us, he never came over to ask if we needed anything (like water). The grilled cheese was utterly forgettable and the fries were sparse and below par. Like some of the other reviews say, go for drinks and the views (which are great, even in the unreserved section); don’t spend your money on food. You can do much better elsewhere.

    Unfortunately very mediocre. I booked a private cabin for my partners birthday ($50 to reserve, does not go towards your bill). Unfortunately the cabin we received (A4) was freezing and had no view. We were told that the cabins were first come, first served, despite having paid for reservations and showed up early...you're just SOL if all the good ones are taken, dump your $50 down the drain because you might as well have stayed home. Needless to say, it wasn't the intimate romantic setting I had hoped for. Instead, we spent our time cuddling trying to stay warm, waiting for the the unfortunately mediocre food. To stay warm we ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup (over $30 + tip + cabin reservation). When the food finally arrived, we were disappointed. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Worst of all, the service was bad as well! The server didn't bring us water and didn't respond to our call button. Maybe this place would be nicer when it's warmer, or if you luck out with a better seat, or maybe in the day time. But our experience was pretty awful.

    $$$$$$$. Food was lukewarm at best. Not worth the money. $60 pitcher was practically non-alcoholic not worth the money. One entree came out before all the rest and BEFORE the "appetizers." Not worth the money. Had a reservation and they had to "find us a table." Ambiance was nice enough. So much waste of plastic! The water bottles came with plastic cups. The pitcher came with 6 plastic cups. Each time they brought food they brought plastic utensils. Edit 12.13.21. Elated they switched to biodegradable plates/ napkins and bamboo utensils! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Winter huts were amazing. Food still as above. Individual drink 🍸 actually tasted as though there was alcohol.

    Christmas Eve dinner experience with a private cabin. We were greeted warmly and sat quickly. It was comfortable seating for our party of 5. They recommended we put all the orders on one ticket - so we did that. The drinks came quickly after we ordered. The food was good! It came out to us warm and flavorful. All the dinner ware and cups are disposable. The view is great. Sunset and then night time skyline views. It is not cheap and not a fine dining experience. It was perfect for my out of town parents - they loved the whole thing. We gave great memories and pictures for our Christmas Eve 2021.

    The ambiance is amazing. We arrived on time checked in, showed our vaccination cards and were assigned a cabin almost immediately. The cabin we were assigned (A7) had no heat. It was 22 degrees. We told our attendant and she promptly found a new cabin that was well heated. The view was truly spectacular. We brought along our 6 year old and he was so excited that he could see the Statue of Liberty. We scan the QR code on the table, ordered from our phone and paid at the same time. We looked up the menu prior to coming so it helped us with deciding. The attendant didn't know much about the menu when asked how food items were prepared or whether they were sweet/spicy. Menu options are very limited, so is the alcohol. However, we viewed the menu prior to coming so we knew what to expect. Our attendant recommended ordering then taking a stroll for the view. That was a great suggestion as our food came as soon as we took a walk around the rooftop. It is 90 minute for each reservation but they weren't strict with the time limit (which was good for us). Overall the experience was good. Would definitely go back. The best thing on the menu is the Buttermilk Fried Chicken - trust me!! We ordered quite a few things from the menu and really liked the fried chicken. It was so good we ordered a second one. I love the concept (perfect for the current COVID world) but I would recommend a BYOB in addition to their alcohol offerings. It is was way too limited. I had the rum punch, it was a small can, but was good. No kids menu if you're bringing a little one. My recommendations are more variety in the food and alcohol selections and BYOB would be a great addition to this concept. Overall great rooftop experience!

    What a great experience! We were greeted quickly and warmly. We were shown to our cabin and it was perfect. Cozy, simple and comfy, a "fireplace" and music piped in as well. Using Q code made ordering a breeze. New York prices, but you are dining in New York and you are getting so much more than just a meal. Totally worth it. You can order at your pace, and your food and drinks are delivered quickly. It was so nice to be able to leave your cabin, walk around the rooftop and take in the fantastic view and then go back for a bit more food and drink. The reservation was a surprise for my husband's birthday and he loved it! We are from out of state, but will be back again. Thanks to the team at the Greens Rooftop at Pier 17. You all are the best!

    I went to The Greens in November of 2020 for a friends birthday and loved their winter setup. We had our private greenhouse which was a decent size for a group of 6 women with all their winter coats 😃. It was a warmish night so we were totally fine with just the small heater. The food we had was good, served in takeout containers. We got the fondue to share and I got the pasta dish which was a very good potion. The drinks were expensive but they actually were basically 2 servings so that made it a more reasonable price. While I thought the food was good, I think the draw is more the ambiance and you wouldn’t really be coming because the food is great. I would recommend making sure everyone gets their on time. We had a few who were late and it put a time pressure on eating quickly given you only have 90 minutes. The staff were really nice and quick with bringing the food out. I Highly recommend for a cute winter gathering!

    This was aesthetically pleasing. The takeout containers are hideous! My good ending up being so dry because that container sucked up all my sauce! I rang the button for assistance so many times and NO ONE CAME! It looked beautiful and on a snowy night, it was so perfect, however I don’t know if I’ll ever return. Other than some cute pics, there was nothing more for me

    Nice Rooftop, good for private meetings or a date. This is NYC in the winter so it is cold. They did a good job of making it warm in these booths. I enjoyed the food but bec the kitchen isn't in the same place as the rooftop, the plating is in plastic covered paper plates. The food temp was still warm however. The best part of this restaurant is the ambience.
