Profile

Despite ostensibly luxurious touches, the impression of sophistication that Terrace in the Sky wishes to exude is not convincing. Gilded chairs, oriental rugs, and a harp merely give the place the look of a dressed up function room. The menu, which tries so hard to emulate opulence merely overreaches. Entrees like venison are showy, befitting an 18th-century banquet more so than an uptown Manhattan restaurant. The most lavish aspect of Terrace in the Sky is the wrap-around view from the 16th floor of the handsome pre-war building, which seems to be the main draw—and considering other elements here, it should be. — Gabriella Gershenson

Last moth I had my wedding at Terrace. The food, view and general ambiance was absolutely phenominal!!! The wedding ended up being well over 120 people. But what really stayed with me, was the amazing service that they provided. My contact with the restaurant was a woman named MIrella, and she was an absolute dream! She walked us through the whole process step by step, and was more than accomidating, easing the intense stress of putting together a wedding. After the wedding all of my guest are still talking about how special and unique the restaurant was.

Tasty

I ate here earlier this year, and yes the view is really great. Fortunately I wasn't paying. It is a tad on the pricey side (I'm sure their rent is enormous.) Having said that, the lump crab appetizer, and salmon entree were pretty good, just not worth what they charged.
