This was the highlight of our meals in NYC. It was easily accessible, vibey as heck with an Amazing atmosphere. We had made a reservation for the rooftop but it was rainy so they put us inside and it was JUST as enjoyable. The shishito peppers were maybe the best I’ve ever had, and the drinks were on point. Our waitress, Lenà, was kind, welcoming, prompt, and helpful. She helped us celebrate my sisters birthday with joy and an abundance of girlhood, and gave suggestions for food that were on point. We didn’t feel like we were “waiting” for our food or drinks at any point, and the price point was easily manageable for the quality we received. Would highly recommend, and ask for Lenà!!

Had a wonderful experience with our server Ellie. She was attentive to our needs and with her personality made us feel very welcomed. You are lucky to have her at the Refinery. The views are fabulous and the ambience is most enjoyable!
Also had a great bartender Tsenam. Very personable and made you feel comfortable being alone at the bar. Great conversation, great personality and cocktails good too.

We walked into the restaurant expecting nothing more than a good meal, but Lucy, our waitress, somehow turned an ordinary dinner into a genuinely memorable experience.
From the moment she came over to our table, Lucy was warm, attentive, and incredibly friendly. She checked in without hovering, made sure we had everything we needed, and somehow always seemed to appear at exactly the right moment. She knew the menu well, gave thoughtful recommendations, and treated us like we were the only table in the restaurant, even though she clearly had plenty of other people to take care of.
Our drinks never sat empty, our food arrived perfectly, and every time Lucy came by, she did it with a smile and a great attitude. More importantly, she made the whole experience feel effortless. We never felt rushed or forgotten, and her personality genuinely made the evening more enjoyable.
By the end of the meal, we realized that Lucy wasn’t just giving us great service, she was the kind of person who makes you leave a restaurant thinking, “Wow, that was a really great experience.”
So, Lucy, if you’re reading this: thank you! You were fantastic, and we hope you know that your kindness, attentiveness, and great energy did not go unnoticed. You absolutely made our night!

I had a wonderful experience at Refinery Rooftop. The drinks were excellent, and the Cobb salad with steak was delicious and perfectly prepared. Lucy made the experience even better with her warm, attentive, and professional service. She made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Great food, great drinks, a beautiful rooftop atmosphere, and exceptional service from Lucy. I’ll definitely be back!

As a native New Yorker who still lives in NYC, I've never been impressed by places that mistake exclusivity for good hospitality.
My husband and I stopped by the Refinery yesterday around 4:00 p.m. It wasn't busy—there were plenty of empty tables outside and ample space at the bar. When we asked the hostess if we could have an outside table for drinks, we were told they were all reserved. I have my doubts about that. There also weren't any bar stools available, so the only option was to stand while having a drink.
In my opinion, this place isn't worth all the hype and certainly doesn't deserve the overall 4.5-star rating reflected in many of the reviews.
Instead, we went next door to Spyglass Bar, where we were immediately seated outside and enjoyed incredible views of the Empire State Building.
As a lifelong New Yorker, I know there are plenty of places in this city where you can enjoy great service and hospitality. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience at the Refinery.
