This is an awesome rooftop with amazing views of the Manhattan Skyline. The food and cocktails delightful and creative. The DJ played a good blend of classic r&b, 90s R&B hits, hiphop, reggae, etc to just make the whole experience RIGHT .

First of all, I like to say that this place looks amazing in the inside and on the outside balcony. The downfall is the food selection compared to lost in Paradise it lacks badly. You will shell out $20 for a bowl of truffle fries and the hummus meal it had the hardest 3 day old pita bread I’ve ever had in my life. The drinks are overpriced for what you get a $21 cup of ice with a half an inch of liquor and $26 for a sip of whiskey. My option is choose the beer for $11. The tip is already included in no matter what they get 20% even if the service is bad and they will not bring The food to the balcony only indoor. This is a great place to go and take your Instagram photos and videos.

This place is so vibey. The lighting, the seating, the picture windows - it all hits you when you walk in.There was a DJ, a bit loud, but we were close to him, and the music was perfect. He hit every song and had a great variety. Definitely helped keep the mood going.We had the duck confit croquettes and the short rib crostinis. The duck croquettes were absolutely delicious but came out at room temperature. We still loved them but wished they were hot and fresh. They were starting to get a bit wet on the bottom from sitting for so long. The short ribs crostinis were fabulous. They are served with a horseradish cream, but I didnt taste any horseradish at all, which is fine by me, but my husband was a bit disappointed as he was looking forward to that sharpness. I thought they were excellent.The drinks are inventive, unique, and skillfully made. They use interesting ingredients and are easy on the eyes. They do not skimp on alcohol. The prices are about $19-25 depending on what you order.The night we were there was a bit rainy but you could still go to the balcony and the view was incredible. Its right on top of the Queensboro Bridge, so you get this wildly majestic view of both sides.We are so pleased to have gone here and would absolutely return. The food and drinks were really great but the view and mood was everything. Its also really close to the cable car, so that was a fun way to get back into the city. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

One of the best rooftops in New York. Amazing views! Usually great service but it’s starting to get bad. Our waiter knew nothing about the menu. We asked what sauce the steak had and he said ‘regular’ sauce. I love this place so I really don’t want it to just become a tourist spot with horrible service. TRAIN YOUR STAFF!

Loved loved loved…. Great beer 🍺 drink 🍹 or wine 🍷 with a view! I ordered the truffle fries they were to die and huge portion I didn’t even get a picture for I’m actually craving them right now, service was on point loved just sitting out in the balcony overlooking the beautiful city and the atmosphere was very elegant of course but also chill and lay back loved the sitting areas even tho it was all taken but the layout is very inviting I wanted to stay longer!

A visit to the Panorama room is a must when visiting Roosevelt island. The views from up here are the best! You can see one end of Roosevelt island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens all from one rooftop. We went here without prior reservations on a weekend afternoon and we were able to get seats outside. We did get cocktails but the drinks and food here are extremely overpriced.

Review 8 (2024-08-07 - Rating: 4)
I recently went to the Panorama Room and had mixed feelings. The view is beautiful, but on a busy Friday evening, it was obstructed by people. Despite reserving a spot via Resy, we were asked to sit and grab drinks, which felt like a waste of time. After waiting for 40 minutes and prompting the host, we were finally told our table was ready. The food was okay, and the drinks were overpriced. While the view is great if you manage to get a good spot, the overall experience left much to be desired.For more pictures and detailed reviews check out my IG: @adventureofourlifetime

Nice rooftop with great views, good for a drink with friends. It has an indoor bar and an outside terrace with some free tables and stools for those booking the standing room option.

Review 10 (2024-05-29 - Rating: 5)
Incredible rooftop bar! You could go up to the bar for free and it wasnt too busy during sunset hours on the weekday. It did seem to get busy as it became night time. But its a beautiful place to see the city and also Roosevelt Island was a nice place to travel to by cable car.

Review 11 (2024-05-14 - Rating: 5)
The Panorama Room instantly became one of my favorite rooftops in NYC. It has spectacular views of the East River, Manhattan, and Roosevelt Island. To get there, you have to take a 5 minute tram from Manhattan that gives you the best views of the Queensborough bridge. You then have to take a 5 minute walk to the Graduate Hotel and ride the elevator up to the top floor. There is a small wait to ride the escalator because they need to escort you up.The rooftop has a lot of indoor seating but it must be reserved. They serve several specialty cocktails all priced around $20. They also have a limited food menu. Outdoor seating is very limited but most people were standing and taking pictures of the stunning views anyways.I suggest you go on a weeknight because it must be packed on the weekends.

We visited here for cocktails on a gorgeous, sunny day. We didn’t book in advance but I strongly recommend that you do. Very easy to get to if you go over to Roosevelt Island on the gondola.

The view and the drinks were amazing but the food is not that great. After all it was a great experience to see such a beautiful view of New York

Review 14 (2024-02-25 - Rating: 4)
AMAZING atmosphere and view especially from balcony. Drink is strong and pricey as you would expect for the place. Bartender was unfriendly and provided just the bare minimum service. 2 out of 3 drinks we ordered were also wrong. Will come back for the view if in the area but would not go out of our way for it.

Spectacular views of Manhattan combined with well made cocktails. Located on Roosevelt island. Can see both Brooklyn and Manhattan. Definitely a must see for new york visitors.

The rooftop bar is amazing! Entry to the bar is free, and during sunset on a weekday, it wasn’t too crowded. However, as evening turned into night, the place began to fill up. It’s a stunning spot to enjoy city views, and taking the cable car to Roosevelt Island added to the experience.

Review 18 (2024-07-09 - Rating: 4)
Panorama Room on Roosevelt Island is a charming spot with a laid-back vibe thats perfect for a relaxing evening. The moment you walk in, youre greeted by the soothing sounds of jazz, creating a mellow atmosphere thats hard to resist. The quirky bookshelf that wraps around the entire bar adds a unique and cozy touch. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you feel right at home. The drink menu is impressive, featuring a delightful array of flavorful alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.Although I didnt try the food, the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen made it clear that the culinary offerings are something special. The drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, were crafted with care and packed with delicious flavors. However, its worth noting that the prices are on the higher side, but the quality of the experience makes it worthwhile.One slight letdown was the view. I had expected an elevated perspective of the Manhattan skyline, but it wasnt quite as breathtaking as imagined. Despite this, Panorama Bar remains a great spot to unwind. Overall, its a lovely place to enjoy a chilled-out drink and some live jazz. I would definitely pop back in for another visit if I return to Roosevelt Island.

If you want a bar (for date night/groups) with great views of the city, this is a great option. Making a reservation was pretty easy and is recommended.We didn’t get food but the cocktails were great and the service was decent. Gratuity is already included.Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful views! Great drinks for apps and drinks. Try Duality - we had 2 and wanted more! Friendly staff.

Review 22 (2023-03-23 - Rating: 5)
I didn’t have a chance to try food or drinks here, but I was hired as a photographer to capture a secret proposal on their rooftop before the restaurant opened. From a photographer’s perspective, I should say that the view is amazing, like nothing else that I’ve seen before. The lighting is great. Place is really cool

Review 23 (2024-02-16 - Rating: 5)
The food and drinks are fine but the view of the Manhattan skyline is just spectacular 🤩. You should visit and spend some time with some drink or food by the balcony just to take in the views. I would definitely go there again 💯. Also they have like 2-3 non alcoholic drinks 😅.

Review 24 (2022-04-12 - Rating: 4)
This is a really cool spot. We had reservations for a Friday in February after they previously cancelled a prior reservation we had for a private event. I was thrown off but really wanted to try it because Roosevelt island is a great place to visit. The staff was very friendly. I’m glad we had a reservation because the bar was packed. The only reason I took off a star is because these are insane prices. We had 2 tiny drinks each (2 people) and our bill was $100. That is ridiculous. We didn’t try any food. I’d come again honestly because the vibes were cool and the view is great. Take the tram from midtown and it’s only a 5 minute walk. Would recommend

Review 25 (2023-03-27 - Rating: 5)
This was a very nice experience! Great panoramic views, hence the name panorama room. The food and drinks were really good. The service was excellent, and the overall vibe and atmosphere were nice. This is a wonderful spot to bring your out of town guests because it will really give them the New York City experience. This is also a good date spot to meet for a drink and a quick bite. I plan to return, and I highly recommend it to others too!

Review 26 (2023-12-26 - Rating: 4)
I hosted my birthday dinner/party here in December, and Id like to give a big shoutout to the team who took care of me and my group that night. I brought roughly 21 people and the host made sure we were comfortable, even moving our seats when we were feeling tight. The night of staff was so warm and welcoming. The space is stellar, such a beautiful location that has a perfect view of the skyline. The drinks and food were amazing. I would say its not a BIG buffet but great small bite sized portions for chewing on with your drinks. I did do a pre-fixed menu. They even came in and gave me a small cake for my birthday.The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars in stead of a perfect 5 is because no one answers the phone so when I had some pressing questions, I did have to email. However, they were responsive via email closer to my event. I highly recommend for a gathering/party that you want to get quality drinks.

Review 27 (2022-06-11 - Rating: 5)
Exquisite bar and restaurant located on top if the Graduate Hotel on Roosevelt Island. We camped out the bar and enjoyed signature drinks a delicious premium bar food. On a warm Friday night, it was busy but not crowded Great views of the city from a outdoor deck. Accessable via car, subway, tram or NYC ferry. Property was visually stunning. Look forward to going back.

Review 28 (2023-08-22 - Rating: 5)
Great place, they put us at the bar because we didnt have a reservation. the bartenders were attentive and quickly prepared cocktails. Calm atmosphere and beautiful bright place to visit. the cocktails were interesting. The only thing that surprised us was that we were forbidden to take pictures with the camera, and this was very unfriendly, considering that we took pictures on the balcony where there was no one else but us.

Went for Saturday Brunch, views and ambience are impeccable… Food and drinks are decent. Uber or Take the tram over because the valet parking will cost you $50 for up to 4 hours.

The place is smaller than I expected. but the view is awesome. we tried the caviar nachos. was different. the chips were dried bananas. They have non-alcoholic cocktails. We went without an appointment

My wife and I recently visited a rooftop bar with friends, and it was an incredible experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the cocktails were top-notch. We didnt feel the need to eat, but the food looked fantastic. The stunning view added to the overall charm. Highly recommend!

Review 32 (2023-05-12 - Rating: 4)
Cool rooftop bar with amazing views. There’s no seating options outside which is nice but not great if you’re trying to enjoy the view while sitting inside. If you want to be seated make sure you make a reservation beforehand. They have snacks and drinks. Their cocktail menu is good but all three drinks we had weren’t special taste-wise. We had ASCENDING FORMS, MEMORIES OF THE NIGHT and, DANCER AT THE PIGALLE.

Review 33 (2024-04-28 - Rating: 5)
Stunning view of the city! People are casual and people are also dressed up, so it’s very mixed. It’s pricy for drinks, and they add the tip amount on themselves, first place we had been that added on their tip without allowing us to do it. Maybe it’s because they know it’s very touristy and some cultures aren’t so big on tipping, even though we are Scottish, we always tip and tip well. I would have liked the opportunity to decide what I would like to tip as that’s what tipping is about right? As much as it was pricy we didn’t mind as we enjoyed the view and it was a very nice night, we got the tram over which was also cool to do. We would return when we go back to NYC.

Review 34 (2021-10-24 - Rating: 5)
Great addition to the NYC nightlife and rooftop scene!The views are amazing as they provide a different view of NYC, the crowd is beautiful, the drinks are great, and the service is excellent. The drinks are on the pricier side averaging $18-$22, but youre paying more for the ambiance rather than the drinks themselves.It’s a great spot to go with a date if you’re really into them and want to impress them, go with family so they can take in the breathtaking views, or go with friends prior to ending the night somewhere. It’s definitely worth making a reservation so you can have your table be your base while you walk around on the outdoor deck, but you’ll be fine without reservations.

Review 35 (2021-09-27 - Rating: 4)
Would love to give them a 5 but with no dessert and truffle fries that don’t taste like truffle I can’t bring myself to it.Incredible view of the city is worth the visit alone but the tuna Cruda was incredible too.Visit before it gets cold but be aware it’s hard to get a reservation.

Review 36 (2023-04-18 - Rating: 5)
Nice sunset spot! Definitely worth checking while visiting Roosevelt Island.Edit: I went there again for a cocktail with friends. They’re definitely worth the price and they’re sooo beautiful. I chose the sparkly one (don’t remember the name).

Review 37 (2024-05-18 - Rating: 5)
A place that has a wonderful taste of NYC, the drinks are very good, in terms of flavor and speech, the bartenders are very friendly and the music is very good. variety both Latin and English, if you have a car there are not many options to park nearby, but the island has a public parking lot, and it has a free bus, which runs all night that can take you closer to the place, they have food but it is once alone. drink super recommended drinks

I totally loved this place!! It’s so underrated. It has beautiful views of the city. They are incredible. The inside is so chic and pretty I absolutely loved the vibe. It’s very elevated. The service is amazing and everyone is so helpful and friendly. This is a get place for drinks or to go out. They also play really fun music. I would come back again for sure.

Great roof top with amazing Manhattan view. There is a huge balcony with a couple of sofas, so you can get a drink and enjoy the fresh air of East river. Good variety of cocktails. The only thing that we have to keep in mind they close kitchen between 2 pm and 4 pm. So, no food during these hours, however you can order something from raw table like oysters or shrimps. This place is definitely worth visiting!

Gorgeous rooftop bar with awesome views! I love the bridge right there as well! The service was ok… we were served warm champagne (and it was pricey (!), so warm champagne is a no-no…!), which they replaced, but this shouldn’t happen in the first place… it’s highly overpriced but it is indeed worth it! Such a new place! Love the design! Definitely worth a visit!

Nice rooftop lounge to grab cocktails and get a pretty view of NYC! Came here Saturday night with friends—we got a Resy reservation but it wasn’t too crowded when we got there. They have a live DJ and play pretty good music.Drinks were okay—a bit pricey—cocktails start off at $20 a drink and our basic tequila shots were $16 each.Location wise, it’s a bit out of the way if you’re coming from Midtown NYC area.

Review 45 (2022-09-08 - Rating: 5)
So far this is my favorite rooftop in NYC! Been here 3 times and will definitely go back! My favorite cocktail on the picture. Don’t remember name. Something with a gin 🍸 Amazing view of Manhattan and Queens. Nice atmosphere. Not that loud like in many other rooftops.

Hidden gem. the environment feels like an escape from the hustle of the city and spending hours here is not only easy to do but supported by the wait staff. this place has killer views, fun interior decor and generous appetizer portions. highly recommend the pork belly!take the tram between 59/60th in manhattan to get here and it feels like a weekend getaway.

The Panorama room is a gem for tourists and new yorkers alike. The views from the bar and terrace are marvelous. The food and drink prices are on the high end as expected but you will not regret it. The menu is short and focused yet there are several vegetarian options on the menu. Make sure to make a reservation and bring something warm to wear if you plan to be on the terrace. When your are done partying you can always walk off your cocktail along the wonderful Roosevelt island water front.

Roosevelt Island in general is a MUST-visit. This rooftop bar was so stunning & provided gorgeous skyline views. The drinks were all great and the ambiance was fun! Fairly fancy. The only downside was that the staff was a little stand-offish. Overall worth a visit!

*I believe reservations are required, FYI.* I’m thrilled to have this lounge on Roosevelt Island. It’s definitely the nicest place to go on the island, by far. The views are gorgeous and the decor is lucious. There is an outdoor patio to chill out on and enjoy the view, and floor to ceiling windows from inside. My only complaint is hopefully temporary - the food menu is very limited, and currently even smaller than what they plan to offer in the future. They didn’t tell us what wasn’t available, so be sure to ask!

Our server Demi was fabulous - efficient, friendly and didnt hover but was always right there if we needed anything! We ordered the bagel/lox dip, quiche, avocado toast, and sticky bun for dessert along with a bunch of drinks (Panoloma, Happiness is, Duality) which were also delicious. You cant beat the ambiance and views! Highly recommend! Easily accessible by the Tram or East River Ferry.

Lowkey one if the best rooftop bars i’ve ever been in the city, the experience and vibes here are so immaculate. The view is something to die for for sure, i’d also really recommend their drinks absolutely flawless with a kick of flavor. I got a virgin drink but either way the drink have me a little boost. The bartenders are overall really nice and chill, and know their way around a drink hut i did face one that didn’t know how to make a strong spicy virgin drink but other than that absolutely would recommend coming here

Spectular views, not-so spectular service. I really wanted to fall in love with this place but there were just so many minor issues. i dont think its reason enough to NOT come, the views are world class, but our experience was as follows:- had to wait for open table despite our reservation- hostess gave us a 1 hour max for our table despite the reservation (we got a medium sized table for just the two of us, so i get that they want to prioritize large groups, but they didnt even give us a choice. bad operations here. luckily the timing worked out for us)- no one came to take our order till i walked to a bartender who was nice enough to come over- the music indoors is waaaay too loud to have conversation without shouting. forget group convos, youre going to have to yell in your friends ear- i could have sworn they just put tap water into the oysters to substitute for oyster juice, it did not taste like anythingother than these, the food was pretty good with big portions. cocktails were ok. i would come back again only to stay outdoors and grab a couple drinks and maybe the fries.

This is one of the very unique rooftops in NYC. It has great views of the Queensboro bridge.The old fashioned is 10/10 and is a must try. Perfect date place. The DJ was super amazing as well.

Great views, food and drink, and service. If you go to Roosevelt Island need to get to the Panorama rooftop bar

The view at night is SPECTACULAR. The music is very loud, but the outside balcony is quieter and has sweeping views of the East River and Manhattan.

The views here are awesome! The food and drinks were pretty good but a bit on the pricey side. It’s a good place to take people visiting from out of town.

From the entrance of the hotel lobby, the elevator, the decoration and the atmosphere are very pleasant, good cocktail menu however they must improve the service, few waiters and they take too long

Beautiful place at night my husband and I went before 4th of July not many people drinks are $50 but its worth it very strong we didnt have a chance to eat because the kitchen close at 9.30pm so it was late this its 10/10

Breathtaking. Music is fun, its more low-key for dancing, but we appreciated our little spot and we had a lot of fun. Drinks are strong.

An amazing place with amazing views, drinks and service! Its just next to the sky tram station of Roosevelt island. I totally suggest it!

Only downside was the cost of the beverages but youre paying for the view which was awesome. So glad RI has this as an option.

Beautiful place. We went to see the island and when we got off the cable car, walking a little you got to know this place. The view is incredible, the atmosphere and the music are very good, which made us have a great time. The only thing to consider is that they have very little variety of beers.

Good birthday package. Beautiful views. Good appetizer and drinks. Pricey but nice for a celebration.Lobster rolls were okay, not mind blowing. The chicken was tasty along with everything else.

Good music, decent food and cocktails. Beautiful view and not hard to find a place at the bar for walk-ins

Review 112 (2023-12-31 - Rating: 5)
Had delish cocktails (thanks, bartender David), the best truffle waffle fries and an amazing view of the Empire and Chrysler Buildings sitting at the bar. The tip was included in the total amount. Panorama is one of the best rooftop bars in the city. It feels like a Himalayan salt lamp that changes colors. It felt fancy without it being snobby. Take the tram to get there for the full Manhattan skyline experience!

The views are unbeatable! Good drinks, I liked the paloma. Food was good too and the portion sizes were surprisingly big.

Dont come here. Its so cool and I want to save it for myself. Highly recommend, especially on slower nights. The view is amazing and the loungey atmosphere and cool lighting makes you want to stay awhile. Skip the cocktail list and just order regular mixed drinks.

Beautiful after work spot... Beautiful views, vibes, music and food... Will definitely go back!!

Panorama room is only for the fantastic views. The drinks are hit or miss & the service is quite slow.

Great view of the city and a very chill rooftop. Make sure you catch a sunset here! The food is great and the cocktail menu also very delicious.

Nice place located on Roosevelt Island, has a beautiful view, variety of drinks and delicious small plates. Unfortunately, the service was not as good as we expected.

Such a fun place to get drinks! We went at night and the skyline was beautiful. We made reservations but still had to wait a while before they sat us. Cocktails are normal NYC pricey. Great place to take photos! DJ was pretty loud so be prepared to talk loudly.

Review 121 (2023-05-18 - Rating: 5)
Been here a few times already. Have tried most of their cocktails and they are all good. I love a cocktail with mezcal and they have a few. They are a bit pricey but this place is so pretty it’s worth it. Caviar nachos were delicious. I was not expecting them to be served with plantain chips rather than tortilla chips (that detail was not described on the menu). Food menu is not extensive but works for like to have some drinks. Place is pretty, nice for like to get dressed up, but can also be smart casual. Views are so far my favorite of all rooftops I’ve been to in the city, so my partner and I like to bring guests from out of town here. Will definitely be back.Update: last time I went, the caviar nachos didn’t really have caviar. I politely asked the waitress if they were no longer going to include caviar (my picture has the bigger eggs in it but last time I went it was only the tiny ones that are not really caviar) and she didn’t know what I was talking about and was unwilling to ask anybody in the kitchen. This was a bit disappointing, but hopefully it was just a one time thing.

Best place to hangout, no cover charges. Great drinks ,truffle fries are awesome. Spectacular view of manhattan skyline.

Amazing views of the city. Take the Tram across and take in the city from the top floor. Manager was very pleasant and don’t forget your ID to get in.

Review 124 (2024-05-15 - Rating: 5)
I didnt eat here, but had a few drinks that were pretty good. You definitely come here for the view - probably one of the best views of NYC Ive experienced. Theres a large balcony where youre free to roam and take photos. Take the tram instead of the subway if you can - it was a nice treat.

Review 127 (2023-08-29 - Rating: 5)
Good food along with the amazing views. One dish that stuck out was the lobster roll which tasted amazing! I had some wine and tried a cocktail which was good too. Only thing is that the service was super slow and there is a time limit on the reservation. We eventually had to vacate the table and couldn’t order more entrees. Regardless of that, I would still recommend you check this place out!

Breathtaking view of the Manhattan and Long Island City skyline! Unique and delicious snack food and drinks. Bewutiful admosphere and great music at perfect volume. Friendly staff. The bar area is always available, with seating that is not guaranteed, but to get a table a reservation is almost mandatory. Would love to have my birthday or special occasion hangout here! Cant wait to come back!

Cocktails and wine are really good. Food is mediocre. Just go for the drinks and amazing view and you won’t be disappointed

This place was such a fun experience! We took the sky tram over and only a had a few minute walk to this rooftop bar. We didn’t have reservations so we sat at the bar for a few drinks before going outside. If you get a chance to go here, ask for the bartender Amanda and she will definitely take care of you. The drinks were amazing and she knew a lot about bourbon. Definitely would recommend this place because the views are priceless. If you ask me, I think the bar is better than the table seating but that’s just my opinion.

Ridiculously good views of Manhattan and very easy to reserve a table in advance. Drinks were expensive, but understandable as youre paying for the view which youd struggle to get elsewhere. Didnt receive table service, however, which youd expect in a place like this.

This spot has some excellent views of the city & is a big favorite. I always bring people here who are visiting from out of state and each one has been impressed. I get truffle fries everywhere they are available & these fries always stick out in my memory.

Excellent view during the day. I was wondering how it may be during the night. Perfect for good pictures and a fancy cocktail. Just be prepared to spend a good amount of money. But it doesn’t mean it’s not good. It’s excellent.

Review 139 (2023-11-01 - Rating: 5)
We went for cocktails and the view. Walk in accepted for drinks only, but you will want to arrive for it opening as it gets busy quickly even on a cold evening. Gratuity is automatically added which is to be expected for somewhere like this (Service was good). Although we didnt get food we did we see some others getting the Truffle waffle which looked huge and very tasty.

We went on a weekday and it was not too busy. The place has a wonderful and chill ambiance with comfortable seating and a gorgeous view. Service was amazing and its def a spot u have to check out if u want an amazing rooftop experience in Nyc without the busy noises of the city.
