Profile

Don't be discouraged by the proletarian to-'n'-fro of 42nd Street. A sophisticated and handsomely designed hideaway waits in the twenty-first-floor lobby of the Times Square Hilton, and so the classic Caesar and grilled hanger steak.

The views are far from spectacular. The restaurant was full of tourists and screaming babies. The service was horrible, our water glasses were never filled, nor were we asked if we wanted or needed anything else after we were served. We had to wave frantically to get our check. The food was actually half decent, but I would never go back. Also, expect a marketing spiel on a future stay at the hotel from the counterman when you get off the elevator.

Great Find

Above is a great find in a sea of lights in the Times Square area. A great location for entertaining before the theater or for a romantic meal. The bar was welcoming and friendly. The bartender was accomodating on the switch to our table. The appetizers were exceptional. The main course was delicious and nicely prepared. Above's decor is very warm and is a nice change from the glitzy exterior.
