    The drinks were delicious, and it’s a lovely spot to catch the sunset! I would have given it four stars, but their oven was broken and no food was available, which was disappointing since I came to eat and have drinks. Still recommend it for sunset views and tasty cocktails.

    The Top of The Strand has the perfect view of the Empire State Building at any seat. It's a small and intimate setting for a beverage, food menu is tiny but there's options. I strongly recommend the Garden Martini, so freshingly crispy. It's the perfect spot to start the evening, take in the beautiful view, and watch the sunset paint the sky with changing colors!

    Sher was amazing. I came here with my 3 other friends and she gave us a great experience, I can’t wait to come back and see her again! If you don’t book with Sher, then you’re missing out!

    I’ve been visiting Top of the Strand for a few years now and have never left disappointed. Our experience with Sher last night was incredible, and everyone in my party enjoyed every second of it!!! All the drinks were fantastic and the DJ kept the mood elevated. If anything we would come back just for Sher!! 10/10 for service and ambiance.

    We had a reservation and arrived 5 minutes early. There were two people behind the bar and one DJ. No one greeted us and we sat down on a completely empty couch. Finally, a woman came over to us and said we needed a reservation. I told them our name and she left without taking our order. She came back several minutes later and said we had no reservation. She left and ignored us. After some time we decided to leave and showed her our Open Table reservation on the way out. She said it did not show up on her system. The view was nice and the cocktail list was interesting, but the service so bad and rude that I would never go here again.

    We always enjoy going to the Strand where we’re staying at the Marriott in New York City. The service and food are excellent, and the view is to die for.
