    We are excited to be partnering with one of NYC’s most popular Broadway shows, Back to the Future! The Musical, for an 80s themed karaoke pop-up installation this winter. Reservations are one hour and 15 minutes, and each guest will receive a complimentary 80s themed cocktail to go with their experience. The karaoke space is shared, so general reservations might be paired with others to enjoy the experience together. Groups of more than 10 people can book private events by emailing MillenniumNYC_Sales@highgate.com. We invite you to sing your hearts out while enjoying breathtaking views of Times Square. Perfect for a night out, group gatherings, corporate parties, or any special event!

    Booked this ‘Rooftop bar’ for some drinks in the evening after dinner (10pm). Showed up to be told as we weren’t ordering food they didn’t have a table for us but we were welcome to sit in the atrium. Nowhere does it mention food needs to be ordered to secure a table. Took our business elsewhere.

    I needed a place for a pre-theater dinner and was able to snag a last-minute reservation here. The music was too loud, there was zero ambience, and the food was not good and overpriced. Would not recommend.

    They need more salad options at Beast and Butterflies. The Caesar salad is not enough and it’s not as healthy as other salad options. They need a garden salad with a balsamic dressing. Please expand the salad options. They need a grilled chicken salad. But the view is fantastic. And the staff is great.

    The location near out theatre and the spectacular view of Times Square are the reasons to dine or have a drink here. The staff was attentive and efficient. The food could be better. The three of us shared guacamole and chips; the chips were not corn chips. One of us enjoyed her Caesar salad with chicken, and the lemonade she chose was good but, I think, not freshly squeezed juice. I had two burger sliders that were nice; I would repeat that if I go again. The third member of the party said he has had better fried calamari. But all worth it for the view.

    Food was very average and wait staff was a little rude. When I ordered my drink and explained to him what I was ordering he told me I don’t know I’m not the bar tender

    Although the restaurant was slightly difficult to find the food, drink and the ambiance were second to none. The staff were very attentive. For us the view from our table helped make this restaurant the best we had visited in New York. Overall an excellent experience
