Pretty decent, average everything

by sarahlane15

Went here for brunch/lunch last summer, the hostess was sorta snobby, we were sat at a nice table. The server was friendly and the food was just average and over-priced. Wish we would have checked out the bar scene there. The scenery around is lovely, wish we would have been there around christmas with all the lights and what not.

• Pros: Great people watching, great fresh squeezed juices
• Cons: Food was mediocre

Gone downhill fast...

by schase711

This used to be a great place for happy hour a couple of years ago - the drinks were good and strong and specials were reasonably priced. However, the quality of the drinks and service has steadily declined. The mojitos (which used to be the best anywhere) are horrible - made with some awful fruit mix and no rum, for a higher price. Service is almost non-existent. The management seemed to be trying to drum up business with typical bar gimmicks (girls in bikinis handing out promotional junk), but it just ruined the casual atmosphere. They would be better served to hire a decent, POLITE waitstaff.

It's still nice if you want a convenient outdoor spot or want to show an out-of-towner around, but it's not the quality spot it used to be.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Service & Quality

A Figment of MY Imagination!!!

I must say....the cosmos and mojitos that were premade in jugs earlier that day (or week who knows??) were outstanding!!! I know if I were a tourist visiting NYC I would surely visit the Rink bar and pay 8-10 bucks for the delicious T.G.I Friday's quality drinks. It was equally pleasurable meditating on the phone to instrumental Paula Abdul hits, while waiting on numerous occasions for the oh so attentive management to follow through with simple requests. Who wouldn't enjoy emptying their wallets on overpriced crappy drinks, in a well known establishment, run by a bunch of inexperienced 20somethings?? Is my sarcastic tone oozing out of the moniter?? Good. Mission accomplished.
