Great Place
by alexnewyork
Went there last night for the first time and it was a great place. We went on a Tuesday night the and terrace was not busy so me a my girlfriend got a table right by the edge. I personally feel that Terrace in the Sky is probably one of the most romantic restaurants in NYC. I went with the regular menu and everything was cooked well and the ingredients were awesome. If you plan on going try the calamantra pasta, it had the most unbelievable shrimp. The waiter was very professional and made the experience so much better, gave good recommendations and provided world class service. Definitely would recommend it to any couple.
- Pros: Service, Food, View

Not recommended for restaurant week
by martyna2009
I went there with my husband for restaurant week lunch hoping for the great view people talk about. Turned out the deck was not available and we ended up in an ancient greenhouse overlooking the roofs of Harlem. The food was terrible. It started out okay with appetizers but my entree was absolutely horrible. The fish was undercooked and all tasted like olive brine. After complaining I was offered another meal. I picked risotto which was surprisingly worse. Even the fruit tart was so stale that you were unable to cut it with the fork. All together I didn't eat anything and left hungry short $60. Overall the worst restaurant experience in my life.
- Cons: bad food, atmoshere, decor

Mixed Review as a Wedding Venue
by UptownMom
Hands down, the view is gorgeous. Let me get that out of the way first because it was the big selling point, the wow factor of our wedding, and really made the whole night "magical." BUT, the planning process was nerve racking. They are very laissez faire about details and it becomes hard to pin them down on specifics. For example, I was told that there was a spare apt. in the building underneath (it is the top floor of student housing for Columbia) for the bridal party to change. More like a tiny little room with a bathroom (I had 12 people in my bridal party--7 bridesmaids, my maid of honor/flower girl, 4 hostesses and me) and it was a disaster. Not sure all the hors d'ouevres were ever served. They tried to charge a $4 pp cake cutting fee (which we simply refused to pay) and basically were completely unprepared on the day of. Several things I had asked for were not done, and on the day of the wedding, the event coordinator turned out to be someone I had never met before in my life. The person I had been regularly communicating with was nowhere to be found, and never mentioned anyone else would be there. This, of course, is all from a bride's perspective, one who had carefully planned out all the details of her wedding. To my guests, the venue was nothing short of amazing, so...you may be stressed out, but your guests will be in awe.
- Pros: Beautiful view, indoors and out, good food,
- Cons: A little too lacking in service for such a high price
