    Great. Great view of Times Square. Its pricey. But youre totally paying for the view!

  • Review 2 (2024-10-20 - Rating: 5)

    The food isnt great, and the drinks are expensive. But lets be honest, the real reason why you absolutely should come here is the view!Having a couple drinks here is the best way to experience Times Square in a relaxing, relatively quiet way.With the understanding that youre paying a premium to be up and away from the crowds while still close enough to watch them, and take in all of the bright lights, this place is a gem!

  • Review 3 (2023-03-12 - Rating: 4)

    Its a hotel lounge/restaurant (part of Renaissance hotel) and the menu is pretty small, but has decent drinks offering. The food is actually not bad despite the very small number of choices. Burger is ok, salad is fresh, French fries is adequately savory. The pizza is a little disappointing and probably aimed more towards kids. The kettle chips is so-so because the flavor was good but not as crispy as it should be.That being said, the selling point of this place is the location! Its right up facing Times Square and has probably the best view of the New Years ball if you ever decide to watch it in person (which in my personal opinion isnt worth the time and effort after doing it once).Its fun to eat dinner while people watching and seeing all the giant screens in Times Square.

  • Review 4 (2018-01-22 - Rating: 4)

    The view is better than the food and the service can be a bit slow and uncaring. I tried this place twice: at night and during the day. Night is prettier since it looks out on Time Square. The lobster roll is fishy but the grilled cheese and bacon was tasty. Best thing on the menu is 99 cents: the old bay seasoned potato chips. Quite good. Skip dessert, they arent very good.

    I booked a table for 4 for drinks. It was very easy. We arrived and were shown to our table. The views were amazing from the lounge no matter where you were sitting. The only annoying part was the servers coming to the table when you are not even half way through your drink asking do you want another. Very pushy to give you another drink. Nice experience other than that.

  • Review 6 (2019-12-05 - Rating: 4)

    Amazing views of the heart of NY Time Square! Great drinks. Decent food with a selection for anyone. One of a kind menu that featured Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Pizza and NY Style Pretzels. The drinks are just as great as the views!!!

  • Review 7 (2018-03-11 - Rating: 4)

    We had a lovely meal here, its a great location and is priced reasonably given this. I had the cheese and charcuterie main course which was very good although it didnt stand out as being particularly amazing. The service felt a little rushed initially but once wed ordered we felt relaxed and were not rushed out the door after finishing. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant and would return myself!

  • Review 8 (2024-12-05 - Rating: 4)

    Limited menu on both food and drinks. Beers are pricey, $13 for a 12oz bottle, not even served with a glass. Great atmosphere and view of the city. It was relaxing and spacious. Service is mediocre.

  • Review 9 (2019-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible view of Time Square ❣️ I just wish it was opened to the hotel guests as a lounge when the restaurant was closed. Would have been nice to do some work overlooking the glorious chaos that is time square 😁

  • Review 10 (2017-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    You would never know this bar is even here! In the heart of Times Square hidden behind tinted glass a few floors up.The bar has 3 out of 4 sides all glass looking straight over times square.Prices arent even super expensive and are average for a tourist bar in NYC.Its a must see!

  • Review 11 (2024-10-18 - Rating: 4)

    Nice setting & atmosphere. Great view of Times Square and nice place to sit back and watch the world go by. The service was average but you’re not paying top dollar. We ordered a bottle of the Malbec wine and requested a taster first. After the taster we agreed to buy the bottle but it took them a while to bring it, (we had to ask again for the bottle) when the server brought it to the table it appeared that he has never used a corkscrew before and struggled to open it. I also ordered a beer to which he poured a portion into a glass with no care or attention, then processed to slam my glass of foam beer on the table lol. We ordered the cheese board which was ok and the prices are reasonable for the location.

  • Review 12 (2024-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Would like to have the best view of Times Square with a romantic dinner? Or amazing breakfast with a view? This is the place!!

  • Review 13 (2024-04-13 - Rating: 5)

    Always try to stop here for a drink/snack when in NYC. The view of Times Square is outstanding. Otherwise, drinks are decent and its not insanely priced, given the view. You are unlikely to find a better spot to get away from the madness of Times Square but also enjoy the spectacle. The House Made Kettle chips for .99 is quite the steal and the plantains were suprisingly good too.Dont fret the Times Square pricing and stop in here around dusk to enjoy a drink and watch the transition from daytime to evening (still bright as hell) in Times Square!

  • Review 14 (2019-09-16 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful lounge! Amazing amazing view! Those wings were on point and hit the spot. Great staff as well.

  • Review 15 (2019-05-18 - Rating: 4)

    Best view of time square hands down. Went here after dinner to grab drinks got an old fashion, and side street. Make sure you make reservations as we had to wait 30mins to get a table but it was well worth it.

  • Review 16 (2023-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent location and such great staff. This was our 3rd time here and all 3 times have been wonderful experience. Food is quite good too and drinks are well made! The only advice to give here is to make sure you reserve your table and not do walk in. It’s a go-to location so it gets packed and you may not have the table or even the view of Times Square. Order a Hemingway and that will start off your memorable night in the city. Our server for this time around was Marlene and she was such a wonderful server and person.

  • Review 17 (2018-06-11 - Rating: 4)

    Awesome views of the city! Food was good, the steak was really flavorful!

  • Review 18 (2018-12-20 - Rating: 4)

    Nice views, cocktails are good, the place itself is very very nice! Definitely recommend

  • Review 19 (2023-07-03 - Rating: 5)

    R Lounge is an amazing place and has an amazing food as well as very friendly staff. Also, on top of all these a spectacular view. You can have a nice gathering while enjoying the time square beauty. Highly recommended!

  • Review 20 (2020-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    I fully expected the food at this place to be average at best. I figured due to the location and view, that is essentially what you are paying for. I couldnt have been more wrong. Everything we ordered (about half the menu) was absolutely fantastic. I think if they expanded their shareables just by a few more options, this could be easily one of the best restaurants in Times Square. We will absolutely be heading back to NYC and go here. Fantastic food, drinks were very strong, service was amazing, and you cannot beat the views!

  • Review 21 (2019-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    Love the view!!! You can see Times Square really well!!! The prices are decent. The food is great! Try the pretzel and kettle chips (the chips are .99 and the dip is awesome). For drinks we ordered a dry martini and a Cosmo both really good and reasonable priced. The staff also was very attentive.

  • Review 22 (2022-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    R U kidding??? This is THE place to go if you want THE N Y C and Broadway Experience! Amazing Time Square views! Nice bites to eat & good drinks. Exceptional service. Chic decor. Reservations important. Incredible staff but Jose and Iris made my German family feel like superstars. 1st trip to our city and they said the R Lounge was again...AMAZING! Thanks, Yvette Bass

  • Review 23 (2022-07-12 - Rating: 4)

    As a local, I usually avoid Times Square, but its good to know this place exists. Its called R Lounge since it is in the Renaissance Hotel -- didnt realize this until getting lost trying to find it! Awesome that it is not very crowded, despite its location. Like other people mention the manager of the place is awesome, but individual servers can be inattentive. Got the burger and was happy with my choice.

  • Review 24 (2023-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great views, recommend trying the burger since it was pretty good 🍔

  • Review 25 (2017-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    Had an amazing dinner at the R Lounge! Glenn, Horatio, and Kelly were the BEST!!! The view was spectacular, food was delicious and service was the cherry on top. Everything Kelly recommended exceeded my expectations. A family of 5 sat near by and their children were well behaved and enjoyed the view as much as I did. The energy was spectacular. Very affordable and delicious! To Kelly and Horatio thanks for making dining alone not feel so alone. I loved the care and attention you not only gave me but the guest around me.Will definitely be back.Thanks R Lounge for being a great part to my trip first visit to NYC!!!

  • Review 26 (2019-05-25 - Rating: 4)

    Great environment. Awesome view but the best view is not available for most of the tables. Affordable prices for food, drinks are quite expensive and the staff is not friendly.

  • Review 27 (2019-09-01 - Rating: 4)

    Great views and decent food. Staff members were awesome. I would suggest this hotel to anyone.

  • Review 28 (2023-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great venue, great atmosphere with great drinks. Service was brilliant with good views of times square. Great little find and we were lucky to get a table with a view

    Phenomenal view, great drinks, and good service. The food is fine, but not many options.

  • Review 31 (2019-05-30 - Rating: 5)

    1st time Visitor...all I can say is what great food and service!!!. Ms Marlene (our Waitress was awwwweeesome!!! She had great spirit that made you feel welcomed. The burger was one of the best Ive ever had in my life. The icing on the cake was the Cheesecake...omg/wow!!! Im a fan for life. Really enjoyed and would highly recommend for NYC Visitors!

  • Review 32 (2016-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    After getting very disappointing cocktails while visiting New York, we came to R Lounge as they had good reviews on the internet. Our server Marlene was very fast, efficient and anticipated our needs. We couldnt decide on the cocktails on the menu and she suggested making us something different. In less than a minute she had brought out a great Mai Taiwan and 2 other drinks for my friends. The food was great and brought out quickly and the view of Times Square is too die for. Thank you Ready Lounge for meeting our expectations and making our New York experience awesome.

  • Review 33 (2023-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    10/10… Service, food, the view…all were on point. Great family atmosphere as well. Love staying at this hotel when visiting the city but stayed closer to MSG this time…still had to visit.

  • Review 34 (2017-10-04 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favourite restaurants in New York! It looks out right into the middle of times square from the Renaissance Hotel. Food is great and the view is next level. Its also where they broadcast new years eve live! If only I could one day be at this spot for then!

  • Review 35 (2024-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    Very limited menu, but the food was good and there arent many better views to enjoy a meal.

  • Review 36 (2019-01-04 - Rating: 4)

    Food was great, service was amazing. Our waiter was so nice!Only complaint was the host and manager.Our train was late, so I called ahead and said that weekend would be a few minutes late...no one answered so I had left a voicemail. Upon arrival we were greeting in a very snobby unprofessional manner.This is why RLounge doesnt have 5.

  • Review 37 (2020-02-03 - Rating: 5)

    R Lounge is a hidden gem! I am surprised how a lot of people dont know about this spot! Ill tell you why. Its very hard to distinguish this place while you are walking in the bustling streets of Times Square. The place is elegant/intimate with ample space. Accessible to Transit and their menu and drinks are affordable and good!

  • Review 38 (2021-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    I usually hate going to time square but the R Lounge was amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the food, the drinks, the staff, and the all around vibes and aroma of the place. The view is incredible of time square and the extensive drink menu is to die for!

  • Review 39 (2024-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    It was a great place for a drink and to look at the amazing view, it was easy to get a table on a Saturday night so very impressed!

  • Review 40 (2022-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    First time staying at the Renaissance Hotel and enjoying the R Lounge!Wonderful cocktails & food and the entire staff was fabulous! We look forward to returning!

  • Review 41 (2024-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    WOW!!! Views are to die for. Beautiful Restaurant and Lounge right above time square. Great for before and after shows. Had the Jumbo Pretzel and Chicken Panini straight 🔥

  • Review 42 (2019-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    This is a hidden hero with the best view of Times Square, 5 star food and great service. Plus they even turned us around in under 45 minutes so we could make a show. Definitely a keeper.

  • Review 43 (2022-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    Outstanding Restaurant in Times Squares. 🔥

  • Review 44 (2018-03-08 - Rating: 4)

    Beautiful views... we had a group brunch and the food was good. It is a Pepsi house and Im a coca cola girl so that was disappointing as I never touch Pepsi. All in all beautiful space.

  • Review 45 (2023-04-29 - Rating: 5)

    One word sums up our experience at the R Lounge: INCREDIBLE. Sylvia and her team went out of their way to ensure my daughter’s Sweet 16 celebration was exceptional. The service, food, drinks, and ambience were second to none. I flew my family up from DC to give my daughter an extra-special celebration and Sylvia did not disappoint. They seated us promptly, curated a custom playlist for my daughter based on her faves, and brought out some tasty birthday treats for desert. This is going to be a night my daughter won’t forget, and we’ll be sure to tell our friends in DC how extraordinary we were treated.

  • Review 46 (2022-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    What a fantastic place! I’m so glad I got to stay here and enjoy this place. The view is indescribable you just have to see it for yourself. It’s an amazing photo op of Times Square. Get there super early to be standing in line that way you can get the front window seats which has the best views!!!

  • Review 47 (2022-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    A hidden gem for any trip to NYC!! In such a busy place as Times Square, I was amazed at how spacious and nice this place was! I went 2-3 times and back when I went it was open for lunch but this can make a great dinner spot too! Food and drinks were enjoyed by my whole table, the staff were friendly, and the view of course is incredible! I recommend to anyone going to visit!

  • Review 48 (2015-02-19 - Rating: 5)

    A cozy atmosphere with amazing views of Times Square. The edamame, crab cakes and grilled shrimp on a caesar salad were really good. They have seasonal hot chocolate selections as well.

  • Review 49 (2019-11-19 - Rating: 4)

    Beautiful spot to look out over Times Square. Great drinks and comfy spots to chill. Bartenders can get a bit intense near closing time rushing to get in final orders.

  • Review 50 (2017-04-02 - Rating: 4)

    As a native New Yorker,​ I normally avoid Times Square, but this spot was a bit of an oasis above the tourists with a stunning view of the goings on.Definitely a good place to go if you have to meet folks theyre.

  • Review 51 (2022-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    Great view of time square for breakfast. Food was also good.

  • Review 52 (2019-08-24 - Rating: 4)

    My husband had the ribeye which was served with caulilini (baby cauliflower with green stems and white tips) and yucca fries. He said the steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly and yucca fries were good. The caulilini was under-cooked and inedible so he left those behind.I had the kale and wild mushroom ravioli. It was delicious. It didnt come with the pine nuts as described in the menu but rather did come topped with pea shoots which I enjoyed. The fresh peas, though, were also under-cooked and crunchy and, even though I love peas, I left those on my plate.We each had a cocktail as we were celebrating our anniversary and the drinks were strong and well-made. The atmosphere was moderately low lighting and cozy and the seating was very comfortable.Theres lots to look at as the restaurant hangs directly over Times Square but at billboard height, you will end up watching the same ads over and over again. The best spot to sit is at the back of the restaurant.

  • Review 53 (2018-03-14 - Rating: 5)

    Pretty good food, but with an amazing view of times square! Definitely worth the visit even if just for drinks, which were excellent.

  • Review 54 (2018-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic space! 5 stars for the fantastic views of TIMES SQUARE.If you want a great spot for pictures and pre-show small plates/drinks this is a great spot to check out.Being from the NYC area, and frequent Broadway patron, this is not a spot I have ever visoted before. A friend invited me and so I joined her and some folks who were visiting from out of town.The drinks were wonderful. I had the summer in the city which was a pineapple based rum punch. We shared the hummus plate and the homemade potato chips and then ordered some entrees. I had the chicken panini. Ive had better, but this was good.Id recommend making a reservation. Definitely go for the views and the drinks.

  • Review 56 (2018-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    5 stars for the view alone. I strongly advise you only come here for the drinks (which are fantastic) but the food options are very limited and although good arent that satisfying.

  • Review 57 (2019-12-09 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 58 (2022-05-04 - Rating: 5)

    LOVED this bar!! Most amazing view of Times Square! Great perspective instead of being so high. Managed to get a great table at the front, by the window too! The staff and servers were so friendly and kind. Some of the nicest and most personable I’ve witnessed at all the bars I’ve visited in NYC. Will definitely come back!

  • Review 59 (2022-11-25 - Rating: 4)

    Beautiful Restaurant/Bar…. the only issue is we were only allowed 1 hour and 30 minutes sitting time. Food and drinks were great. Beautiful view if you request Timesquare view during booking but overrall the entire restaurant is nice

  • Review 66 (2024-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    This was my second time at R Lounge. I was very pleased both times. The first time was for my oldest daughters 21st birthday. The house treated us to free cocktails. I dont know if they always do that, but that day they did and we were very grateful.The second time, they could not find our reservation, but accommodated us nevertheless.Its a great place to enjoy the lights of Times Square without being down in the chaos, scammers, and aggressive people handing our pamphlets or trying to charge you to be in a picture.We had two cocktails and two beers, and the total bill (including tip) was $77.50. I felt that was appropriate because youre also paying for the atmosphere, view, and refuge from the chaos.

    Great visit, not crowded at all, given the location. Drinks were tasty and the staff was super friendly!

    We went there to get some lunch near Time Square , you cannot be closer than this thats great. Unfortunately being this close is not cheap.

What makes ot breaks a place for me is the service and this little gem had the best Alex, Rafael and Jose the manager you all made me feel so welcomed and appreciate your great sense of humor.

    Marlene was the single best server my pops and I had on our entire vacation. She had the sense of humour that belongs on a talk show. They kept our drinks full and made us feel like vip guests. Marlene and Sylvia brought a free bday cake. If you want a quality night out next to Times Square make sure you request Marlene’s section! Between Marlene and Sylvia you’ll have the best possible experience you can have. Cheers!Love from Canada!!

    Amazing! Server was the nicest man I ever had the pleasure of encountering. It was my birthday and he was extremely accommodating. His name has slipped my mind but he was Bengali. Super friendly and interactive. The food was also good. Wish there were more options. But the salmon was good. So was the ravioli. You also can’t go wrong with the .99 cent chips. The scenery was also spectacular. Both inside and outside. Very nice ambiance and I had an incredible night!

    A great spot to get away from the crowds, have a drink, and get a great view of Times Square.

    Lovely lounge with views of Times Square, Broadway and 7th Ave. Bartenders Akitul and Wadud made the evening a pleasure, drinks were generous and tasty, and they were very engaging to talk to. Cozy & relaxing experience.

  • Review 103 (2020-02-06 - Rating: 4)

    My wife and I stopped in for dinner prior to seeing a Broadway show. Although we had walked past many times we had never gone in. Since it was close to our show, we decided to give it a try. Great decision!! As soon as you step off the elevator, youre greeted with a classy, upscale ambiance. We were greeted and seated right away and our server, Marlene, was there to greet us almost immediately. First, I have to comment on what an amazing server Marlene was! She was very courteous and extremely friendly, and thanked us for coming in. She was extremely attentive and checked on us throughout our meal, many times offering suggestions about what we should try.We ordered the Giant NY-style pretzel. Giant doesnt quite describe how large this appetizer is! It came out piping hot, served with brown mustard and a cheese sauce. DELICIOUS! For our entrees, my wife ordered a burger and I ordered the chicken panini. Both were good choices.Unfortunately, between the Giant pretzel and our meals, we werent able to try any of the desserts. However, based on this visit, we will definitely be back again, and this time well save room for dessert.

    JACKPOT !!! My family only had one day/night in NYCity. I found R Lounge, it sounded too good to be true. We went for dinner. IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER! The views, the table, the staff, the drinks, the server, the food, the price, the decor A++ Really, there could not be a better place to have a cocktail, dinner and enjoy the incredible view of Times Square. Thank You R Lounge!

    We had a really lovely dinner with a great view! Not crowded at all. I do wish the portions were a bit better, but it wasnt insanely expensive so I cant complain too much.

    Absolutely love this place. Elegance is the word that comes to mind. Upon walking into the hotel (Restaurant is located inside hotel) the fragrance is so delightful. Excellent place to make a great 1st impression for a 1st date. Anniversary etc

    The lounge is inside the Renaissance hotel after taking the elevator up to the lobby level. The view of Times square is great from here and its busy but not too crazy. I only had appertizer and the pork wings were great but the grilled calendar was chewy.

  • Review 113 (2019-05-20 - Rating: 4)

    Views are second to none. You go here for that. Food and service are ok, don’t expect much on that front. Hostess and servers are a bit aloof to your needs. We didn’t find them too accommodating in regards to speed of service and sitting arrangements. But like I said, you get some amazing views of Times Square. Go in the evening so you can get the full effect of all the lights. For all places, make sure you book in advance.

    This place is awesome. Great drinks food is on the pricy side but is very good and you cant beat the view! Perfect view of Times Square. In the middle of the action without the cold weather. I was also very lucky to go on a slower weekday night so Im sure that helped too.

    We are currently visiting NYC and I was concerned that we wouldn’t be able to get into the lounge with holiday parties but it wasn’t an issue ! Twice we were able to sit at the $20,000+ “New Years Eve “ tables :) and enjoy the views of time square ! Drinks 🍹 are delicious and priced within reason ! Definitely worth a visit the view is worth way more than the drinks were !

    Nice view of times square. Food and drinks is nothing to rave about but overall a nice experience. You get a very good view of time square. We booked and went so only had to wait 10 to 15 min.

  • Review 123 (2016-09-24 - Rating: 4)

    Awesome view of time square with out all the people. Didnt have much on the menu for food around 11pm on a Friday but had a few fancy options that are always good when youve been drinking. Service was great and friendly.. The price was expected because of the view and the experience..I just hate paying 14 bucks for French fries with gravy on them even though they were really good.

    If you are like me in Manhattan (AKA a tourist who hates being associated with tourists), this place is the greatest. A few floors removed from the hustle and bustle (or, again since its mostly tourists, sometimes lack thereof) below, this lounge boasts wonderful views of the heart of Times Square. Buy an expensive drink and enjoy the view...it does not get old quickly. There are obviously a lot of tourists who frequent this lounge (it is in a hotel, afterall), but that does not detract from the ambiance and people watching.

    Great spot for a quick bite before catching a show. Perfect view over times square. The portobello sliders were surprisingly good. Rightly strong drinks.

    I got lucky and found this place while on our anniversary. Its almost like a hidden little spot because there are no flashy signs or markers to know where this place it. The view if amazing and the food was good. The price wasnt even any more than if you were eating anything else. Very relaxing and beautiful view.
