Was there on a Monday, sat on table for two on high seats inside. View was amazing. Cocktails were great, and I did not expect much from the food, but it was also good! (Try the beef sliders) Had a great time.

Great rooftop bar with a nice view and great ambiance. The food is limited to small bites, but the cocktails are good. The service is polite, though if you don’t have a table reservation, you’ll likely have to stand by the bar or sit at one of the large high-top tables—where there is no table service, so you’ll need to order at the bar. There is a coat check.

If you’re looking for an experience and to try delicious cocktails - this bar is the one. I can’t wait to go back! We loved the watermelon cocktail, forgot the name. The view is awesome, they have shoot pool and several photo spots where you can get photos with the view without disturbing other guests

I came to Skylark with a couple of friends to enjoy the atmosphere, and this place did not disappoint! Having a reservation is a smart move but not really needed. Once you are upstairs, you get seated and attended to very promptly. I ended up having a couple of drinks and the fried cauliflower. The cauliflower was a bit oily, but the taste was good. The real plus of this place is the outside deck area. If you want to take pictures it was a nice spot but way too many influencer types. I will definitely be coming back again.

The Skylark offers a sophisticated atmosphere with stunning views of Manhattan's iconic skyline. The ambiance is luxurious yet cozy, making it an ideal spot for both intimate gatherings and lively nights out. The cocktails are expertly crafted, and the small plates are both flavorful and well-presented. However, during our visit, we experienced intermittent connectivity issues with the music, resulting in a choppy audio experience that was somewhat uncomfortable. Despite this minor setback, The Skylark remains a top choice for those seeking an upscale rooftop experience in NYC.

The Skylark offers truly stunning views of the Manhattan skyline — absolutely perfect for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or simply treating yourself. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, and the service was consistently attentive and professional. As for pricing, I won’t comment on whether it’s affordable or expensive — that’s always relative. But I will say that some of the appetisers and sides felt noticeably overpriced for the portion and quality delivered. That said, the overall atmosphere and view definitely make it a memorable place to visit. Would recommend for a special evening, especially if you’re after that classic New York City rooftop vibe. Price stated was for 4 drinks and 1 side

Incredible views, service gave us plenty of time to enjoy them. Food was good; mostly paying for the view and th ambiance. Glad we had eaten slightly before as the bites were good, but more appetizers for sure. Drink menu was interesting and fun.

Really nice view and the ambience was also nice, but the service war very poor. The waitress kept urging us to leave, even though the bar was half empty. The coctails were solid though.

The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere and vibe as well. My review is due to the over price they utilize, I understand that the view is unique and welcoming. But that should not be why the prices are outrageous.

Stunning views, but frustrating service The views from The Skylark rooftop are absolutely breathtaking, offering sweeping panoramas of Midtown Manhattan — easily the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. Despite having a reservation for a birthday party and specifying the importance of rooftop outside seating, we were initially told that no outdoor reservations were available and were offered lounge seating instead. After much discussion, we were finally seated outside — only to notice reserved tables contradicting what staff had told us. Service at the tables is limited — you must order at the bar, and there is very little privacy as people crowd around to take photos, which can feel intrusive during special occasions. The 2 stars reflect the incredible views, but the service, reservation management, and overall experience were frustrating and poorly handled.

Extremely unprofessional and disappointing experience. Attitude and behaviour: completely unacceptable If it were possible to give a negative rating, I would. Last night, we traveled over one hour to visit this bar, for which we had a confirmed reservation. The experience was disappointing from the very first moment. At the entrance, we were asked to present physical IDs, despite the fact that this requirement was never communicated in advance. During our stay in New York, we have visited multiple higher-end venues, and we were never asked for a physical ID in this way. My partner did have an ID, yet the staff member at the entrance stated that it was “not enough”. When I politely asked whether a photo of my passport could be used as an alternative, the response was a flat and rude refusal. At that point, my partner made a lighthearted comment, clearly meant as a joke, asking whether I looked under 18. Instead of responding professionally, the staff member reacted with unnecessary aggression and almost forced us out of the entrance, telling us to leave in a hostile manner. My advice to management: review your staff’s attitude and skills before it starts seriously affecting your reputation and business.

I was genuinely excited when we arrived. The long, dimly lit hallway leading to the elevator created this mysterious, almost theatrical build-up. Unfortunately, that excitement vanished the moment we were seated at what was basically an end table jammed beside the service entrance. Every time a server pushed through the curtains no more than three inches behind my chair I felt a full gust of air. It didn’t even feel like a space meant to hold a dining table. I went back to the host stand and politely asked if we could be moved. They told me the only other options were high-top tables and that the couch-style seating was reserved for larger parties. That made sense to me at the time—there were only two of us, and we were more than happy to take a high-top just to get out of the service doorway. But then we sat there and watched multiple couples—just two people each—being seated on the couch-style section we were told was strictly for larger groups. Meanwhile, we waited another 30–35 minutes with no update and no attempt to move us. Nothing. At that point, we asked for the check and left. The only bright spot was Helen—she was fantastic, warm, and truly the highlight of an otherwise disappointing experience.
