Just the right place

Writing a review isn?t usually my thing, but I have to admit after tonight?s experience it is a must that I announce my satisfaction in regards of my birthday event and recognize their effort in satisfying client?s needs. We had a reservation for 20 then 6 of our friends decided that they couldn?t make it. So I had to tell the host that there are less of us than expected. I was surprised with the respond we got from the staff despise its location in the meatpacking district where everything is all about attitude. We sat at the bar since we had to wait for our friends to arrive and had a round of mojitos. The Mojitos are to die for. Honestly.. those were the best tasting mojitos I had so far No kidding!! The minute we were seated the service were very prompt, the water glass were always filled, trendy yet less stressed atmosphere which were a big plus. I had their simple salad with crispy rice and miso dressing which i am already thinking about again right now. For main i went with the double red fish which was a fillet whole red snapper in a bed of red sauce. AMAZING! After finishing the last course of our meals the adorable manager Don offered to accommodate us in the pool lounge. Music were great, ambiance were just perfect, house music with a little mainstream vocal added just perfected our night. We had a blast, I?m glad that I spent my 30th birthday at Highline. Try it for yourself!!

Great atmosphere and the price is right!

I made a reservation here for a friend's 22nd birthday party. I wanted somewhere that was well decorated and trendy, but was also affordable - Highline was perfect. The staff was accommodating and friendly. I was worried that the food would be just mediocre after reading some of reviews, but I found it to be great! It wasn't anything particularly special (tasted like most Thai food that I've had) but it was certainly tasty, and combined with the restaurant's atmosphere, it was well worth going. The drinks were very tasty and strong! I'm sure I'll be going back..

There is also a cool lounge downstairs that is worth checking out for an after-dinner drink.

• Pros: Decor, Price
• Cons: None

okay food, but not great service

Very trendy, well decorated restaurant. I ordered king oyster mushroom wrapped with something and the noodle inside was so dry hard, the wrapping was tough to chew. The food presentation was good but taste, I'm not quite sure. I love Thai food(lived Thailand for one year) but this place is not recommendable if you are for Thai food. Even worse, waitress chased back to our table for more tips (which wasn't that bad tip) saying that considering the area, MPD, soho, it wasn't enough.

• Pros: trendy modern decoration
• Cons: bad service
