"Splendid Rooftop Bar truly lives up to its name. The views are absolutely stunning—perfect for watching the city glow as the sun goes down—and the vibe is effortlessly cool without feeling pretentious. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, linger, and really enjoy the moment. The pizza was delicious, fresh, and flavorful, easily one of the highlights of the night. And the espresso martini? Smooth, perfectly balanced, and hands down one of the best I’ve had. Whether you’re there for a casual night out or a special occasion, Splendid Rooftop Bar delivers great food, great drinks, and an unbeatable atmosphere. ✨🍕🍸"

"Was there last night for a birthday gathering. We had the WORST experience ever! As a result, we ended our night there early and went to another establishment. Imagine 25+ people closing out a $556 tab at the start of a Monday evening. Imagine how much money was lost due to poor management! We made reservations in advance and still had 1 server that became overwhelmed and nasty. Unacceptable. I understand that splitting checks are not in option there, but the unprofessionalism that we encountered from the waitress was unbelievable! The waitress was literally throwing a tantrum like a child. And the manager needed SEVERAL conversations with multiple people from our party before he intervened. It amazes me how a place with such cute ambiance and NYC prices 😒 could not prioritize customer service. Additionally, the food - literally EVERYTHING we ordered expect the fries were 100% underwhelming. Don’t get me started with the pizza (see attached photo)!"

"Atmosphere was top notch. Sat inside due to the long wait for the outside patio, but there are floor to ceiling windows that display the beautiful view. Drinks were decent, the server Briana, was great! Ordered the fries with aioli dip… Amazing. Parked at a public parking structure behind the hotel, was a short walk. Separate elevator for access to Alto, located on the left hand side across from the hotel elevators."

"The Splendid lives up to its name in every way. The atmosphere is upscale but comfortable, with stunning rooftop views that make it perfect for a night out or a special occasion. The cocktails are expertly crafted and the service is attentive without being overbearing."
