Named for the overgrown railroad trestle it abuts, Highline expands on preconceived notions of Thai cuisine with offbeat fusion fare like foie gras-fritter soup and strip steak with lemongrass-cumin mole. The menu covers more familiar territory, too, from sates to mix-and-match meat curries. And as befits the trendy meatpacking district, there's plenty of style and visual dash, including a three-story waterfall that trickles into the basement lounge. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
My friends and I went to Highline for a Saturday lunch and we were extremely disappointed and left in disgust. The lunch menu offers an appetizer and entree for under $10, which is a seemingly good deal. The appetizers were average, decently portioned, but nothing to brag about. Highline lost me at the entree. Pad thai is one of my all time favorite dishes, but this one left me in utter disgust and was almost inedible. One of my friends, even compared the smell of the pad thai to vomit, while another compared it to wet dog. The majority of my friends left the restaurant with our plates seemingly untouched. Ultimately, the hip, modern ambiance doesn't make up for the worst thai food I've ever had. If you're looking for excellent thai food at the same price that is guaranteed to satisfy, head over to Spice.
I had my birthday dinner there with a few of my friends. We ordered off the pre-fix menu.. We waited 40 minutes for our food, the service was terrible, the portions for 13 peoples were very small and not enough, we had to ask to add more and that took an additional 40 minutes. Afterwards we went downstairs to the Pool Lounge to dance.. the music was the worst I've ever heard.. It was so bad we started laughing. The bouncer was ridiculously rude and ruined our moods. Overall, I had an awful experience and had a terrible birthday dinner.
