| - I'm surprised by all the 1 star reviews. Is it really that awful here? Of course, if I had to pay the bill, I might be pickier, but since work was picking up the bill I'm giving Top of the Rock 4 stars.
Since there were about 20 of us, we had a more edited selection and we made our choices the day before. I had the caesar salad which I thought was really good and enjoyed the parmesan crisps. For my main I went with the NY strip steak. It was a really big piece of meat and well cooked. The mashed potatoes were a little on the chunky side, but hey some people like it that way. The only real disappointment was the dessert. I don't remember the exact description, but I was under the impression that it was going to be some sort of vanilla cake. What came out instead was basically flan and I HATE flan. I was so bummed, I'd been suffering through 8 hours of meeting for my dessert! My coworker was kind enough to offer me some of her chocolate mousse cake and it was so rick that I could only manage a bite (probably a good thing!).
Anyway, I thought the service here was great. It was pretty empty at 7 PM on a Thursday night, so service was very attentive and efficient. The view at sunset is definitely worth 5 stars on its own. It's fairly pricey, so unless you have a generous company picking up the bill, it's probably best for a special occasion.
