View

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) I had dinner at The View while visiting New York City, and it’s definitely worth experiencing at least once. Located right in Times Square, it’s incredibly convenient for tourists, and I was told by several people that it was a must-try restaurant. I booked a sunset dinner, which turned out to be the perfect time. I got to enjoy both the daytime and nighttime views as the restaurant slowly rotates 360 degrees around the city. The rotation is so smooth that you don’t even realize you’re moving, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. Adding to the experience was a live pianist, which made dinner feel even more elegant. The food was excellent. I had the chicken with mashed potatoes, a Caesar salad, and an espresso martini, and everything was delicious. The service was outstanding as well. I wish I could remember my waiter’s name because he truly made the experience even better. The pricing was moderate, especially considering it’s a fine dining restaurant in the heart of Times Square. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is because I expected the views to be a little more impressive. I understand the restaurant is working with its location, but many of the immediate views included satellite dishes, building fixtures, and utility poles. To really appreciate the skyline, you had to look past those obstacles. Coming from the Chicago area, I may be a little spoiled by our unobstructed skyline and panoramic city views, so my expectations were probably higher. Overall, I had a wonderful experience, and I would absolutely go back. Great food, exceptional service, beautiful ambiance, and a unique dining experience that’s well worth trying while you’re in New York City.

The View at the Marriott Marquis was a fantastic night out. Food was genuinely great, the service was on point, and the wine list had way more good options than I expected. The rotating floor is a blast—you get a full lap of the Manhattan skyline over the course of dinner without leaving your seat. Touristy in the best way. Would absolutely go back.

Me and my friend went out to eat, and I must say it was quite the view especially at night was so beautiful 🤩!! The food was very delicious, I love the taste of the crab cake not salty or bitter just right!! We also went up stairs at the lounge and I ordered matcha latte cocktail 🍸 , I am not a strong liquor but that drink was so delicious and kind of sweet!! The waitress were super nice they kept checking on us UwU,Totally recommend coming here10/10 !!! ⭐️ 🌟

The experience of dining on the 48th floor at The View and having the restaurant slowly rotate above New York City is definitely unique and worth experiencing. The views are beautiful, and the rotating dining room is such a fun concept. Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to the experience. One of the main reasons we chose The View was because of the seafood towers and other dishes prominently featured in the photos on billboards, signs, and promotional materials. Once we arrived, we were disappointed to learn that many of those items—including the seafood towers—were no longer available. The advertising really needs to be updated so guests know what to expect before making a reservation. The service was also disappointing and not what we expected from a restaurant at this price point. Dessert was another letdown. Although we were told the desserts were made in-house, the chocolate cake in particular tasted stale and was not enjoyable. The rotating 48th-floor experience and NYC views are absolutely the highlight, but for the price, we expected the food, service, and current menu to match the level of the setting. I would recommend going for the experience and views, but I hope they update their advertising and improve the overall dining experience.

The restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere. The live classical music was excellent, soft, relaxing, and perfect for a romantic evening. The food was 10/10; every bite was delicious, and the drinks were amazing as well. The service was outstanding, the staff was attentive the entire time. The view of the city is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend it for an anniversary date.
