Just the right place

by Loveasian

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!

by irish41687

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

by stephenNnyc

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

About the spills in Highline?.

by anas3626

About the spills in Highline?. I read few of reviews bellow. Want to share my story. We went to Highline one evening with few friends (4 of us). Had wonderful time. Food was very flavorful. Drinks are amazing. At the end of the evening waiter accidently spilled a bottle of beer on my boyfriend. He was vas apologizing for long time. Than manager showed up right away and told us that all appetizers and my boyfriend?s dinner and his beers (all 5 of them) are on the house. Also offered free desert. (We were stuffed) Manager was very polite?

I?ve been going to highline for years now. Would recommend this place

BEEN HERE OVER 10 TIMES THIS YEAR AND STILL LOVE IT

by rammi125

This place is amazing! Everytime we have a group dinner or if I have a first date this is the place to be. If you're group dinner is over 15 people you have to commit to a 50 dollar bill each, most places that's easy to do, this place you have to work at it. The food is so good and cheap for such a trendy place it's unbelievable. If you try to reserve a group of 15 or more they try to sell you this prix fix menu, don't buy into it...just tell them that you can gaurantee them a 50 dollar per person check. My favorite appetizers are the duck spring rolls. For entree's the pad thai is amazing, the panang curry, and the three mixed nuts entree is great. The portions are huge so if you're in a group one app and one entree is more than enough, esp if you're going out drinking afterwards. That's another great thing is the pool lounge downstairs, so after eating you could just go downstairs and listen to some music and have a few drinks and not have to go anywhere!

If it's a first date and you want to go somewhere nice but not spend too much because you don't know if she's worth it, go here....a bottle of wine, an app, an entree can easily be done in 60 bucks, if you look at the ambience of this place you would think you're bill would be 200 easy.

• Pros: ambience, food, prices, location, friendly service, pool lounge
• Cons: some servers don't speak english, but the waiters all do, no reservations for less than 6

Simply the Best Restaurant in Town!

by meldaking

Hands Down this place is ALWAYS a winner. The staff is exceptional, prompt, and very customer oriented. Teh food is always on point especially the grand noodle...wow! The ginger mojito is beyond exceptional. I have never had a problem at this place. Oh and did I mention the prices! the only thing I hate about writing this review is that it will entice others to go...and I don't want to the place to get too well known. :)

• Pros: Food, Location, Service, Ambiance, PRICES
• Cons: I don't own the place

Sensational

by gioia100

Super cool digs in the Meat Packing District. We had a friend's birthday there, and the staff was very helpful and accomodating. And not so loud that we couldn't ear ourselves talk in the dining room. Not even a Nor'easter stopped us from going to Highline! With a reasonably priced menu, you wouldn't think to find more than standard fare. Not the case at Highline. Their decor is so cool, sleek, and modern. Everything from appetizers to desserts are creative and mouthwatering, some of which I've never seen on any other menu at similar pricing. So good-- we were a party of 11, everyone had something different, and all the dishes were fantastic....not a morsel left behind at dinner. The speciality Mojito was killer. Crisy friend calamari with the ginger avecado dipping sauce is a must have. I'll never dip them into marinara sauce again. The Tamarind mixed nut plate was heavenly. I had the coconut cheesecake....Yummy! I love this place!

• Pros: Easy to find parking in the area on weeknights and weekend afternoons
• Cons: Not many parking garages in the area for weekend nights

Not so great

by conussier

Yes the drinks in this place are good, we went on a Tuesday night, so it wasn't packed but we still waited a really long time for our food, even the appetizers. Speaking of food, I don't know what these people are thinking but the closest this place gets to serving Thai food is having spring rolls and peanut sauce. Plus after that food, my friends and I really did not feel well. Never going back there again.

• Pros: cool bathrooms, the downstairs bar, ambience
• Cons: FOOD
