Editorial Review for Rainbow Room – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
The highlight of the sprawling space is the Rainbow Room itself, a stunning gold- and silver-draped ballroom situated around a slowly revolving dance floor. When couples take to the floor to the music of the 12-piece big band, the effect is magical. The menu features many pastas and steaks, as well as fancy classics like lobster Thermidor, vitello tonato and duckling a l'orange, and trendier favorites including fried calamari and tuna tartare.

Visiting NYC for the second time we dressed up and went to the Rainbow Room. The waiter was ignorant, snobbish and rude. The waiter treated us as if we were more of a problem than paying guests. Drinks were ok but overpriced. The place is supposed to have a dress code, but apparently this code did not apply on the evening we visited the place. Jeans, sneakers, shorts and crocs seemed to be the thing to wear. A BIG disappointment, NOT recommended!!!!!
Pros: View
Cons: Bad service, overpriced

Great experience! Seafood (colossal shrimp!) and the dessert bar were fabulous. Price is high, but worth it for a special occasion. There are many choices, something for all. Harp music and the view added to the experience. We were in the city visiting our daughter and it was a nice treat. Would go again.
Pros: Wide array of foods, all yummy to chose from.
Cons: pricey, do not enforce dress code
