Psychedelic Mess

absolutely love that it has a great rooftop , kinda hidden gem of the city and I love the food while pricey it makes for a great date night . Plus great rock classics play here in the background!

Anke Remue

I had the special with Foie gras and Brussels sprouts and it was the best burger I ever ate. If I ever come to NY with friends, this is definitely the place I would take them for dinner .

Kiran Kelkar

The burgers are obviously the main attraction at this restaurant , and by far one of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend the Jameson Burger , with the shoot of Jameson. Killer combination!

Josh Berkowitz

I love their burgers . They're pricey , but they are absolutely delicious. They use top quality meat, have delicious fries and dipping sauces , and are generally a fine establishment.

Luis Argueta

Amazing food at the restaurant and very trendy ! You have to try the T-Bone Hamburguer, its delicious! The rooftop is simply awesome, amazing drinks, great music and beautiful views of the city !

Diane Szwaja

I have the Mexican burger which was really delicious. And I shared the truffle fries and the onions rings which were to die for and the dipping sauces were very complimenting. Would go back ????.

The Wall Street Journal

Favorites include the T-bone burger , a blend of strip and sirloin steak flambéed with tequila and topped with truffle aioli . Or try the ribeye sandwich . But whatever you order, prepare to spend a lot. Read more

Luke Bohanna

Fantastic food! Went for the Ribs with Sweet potato fries ! Absolutely mouthwatering. Rooftop bar is great, check it out. Customer service was top notch.

Brigitte Perez

Lobster burger all day. Great fries and dipping sauces . They make milkshakes but sshh it's a secret

Richard Welty

Beer list is short but has some excellent entries. Steak was an excellent cut, well prepared. Price was very good considering Manhatten.

Carlos Souza

Good, casual or not, it is a pleasure go there

scott "sfliny" falcone

Turkey burger was homemade and delicious. A bit pricy but worth it. Restaurant has nice decor and rest room clean .

Sarah Farrell

Rooftop bar has great views , music and staff . A great way to meet friends at the end of a day in NYC.

Caitlin Bergmann

The waitstaff is beyond nice at the bar . Rachel is my favorite. (Her parents raised her right!) Also, try the Rare Fashion. Epic beverage choice.

Gilt City

Hit the rooftop , and try a fried pickle with your bourbon-glazed burger . Toppings are endless--but we recommend caramelized crush walnuts and bleu cheese . And don't forget the truffle-butter steaks .

Jon Gosier

Rare tbone burger ! It's like going to a farm , finding a cow, wrapping it in bacon & cheese , dousing it with tequila , setting it on fire, and ripping flesh from bone. With a side of onion rings .

Jason Crockwell

It has an amazing low key rooftop , burgers are delicious, and service is awesome.

James Shay

Wow what great service we got from Sarah at the upstairs bar . So friendly and accommodating. Rare is lucky to have her on their staff !!

Rachele Rommes

Come in and try our Lin-tini! A refreshing cucumber martini for the bargain price of $5. Great views and amazing drinks while you watch the knick

Jonathan Snook

Had the steak au poivre and it was good. Everything was tasty and cooked well .

Jen14221

The "Paris Swing" martini is a blend of vodka , grapefruit , jalapeño and cilantro . At $14 it's on the spendy side but it's worth it.

Dolce Cuore Event Planning

The Rooftop here is ridiculous! Def a Must See! Year Round. Boasts some of the Best Views in the city ! Stay away from the Strawberry Margarita , DEF get the M&M Burger !

Fran de Paula

Sarah at the upstairs bar rocks! She is knowledgeable , friendly and down to earth. Say "hi" to Sarah if you stop in.

Effie Gumenik

M&M burger with bacon , crispy shallots and cheddar it's where it's at!

Jen Palmer

Great rooftop bar . Had a nice chicken Caesar salad that was tasty.. Oh and the nachos were amazing too!

Lucretia Parker

Artiseanal burger is the bomb! A lot going on (burger , sausage added on top) but it all works together. Onion rings were a different surprise as well .

Monica Hirst

Burgers were AMAZING. Try the Jameson black barrel burger , soooo good. Decor was very nice too.

Michael DiPalma

Check out the roof deck and ask for Bizzle!

Gabrielle Lashley

Delicious Steaks - Definitely go up to the Roof Top , the view is incredible, and a great place for brunch !

Phil Maves

For dessert : Deep fried Oreos , with a side of vanilla & strawberry ice cream . Trust me, you'll have room for it.

Joseph Akbrud

The food is great and the prices are reasonable but keep in mind that this is NOT a sports . Don't expect to catch the game here.

Nancy Watthé

The burgers are very tasty but small and expensive ... Try the fries basket !!!

Carol B.

The mini burger trio is a great option for who doesn't want to eat too much. It comes with a salad and is very tasty!

Emre Aktuna

T bone Burger . And you also have to see rooptop bar

Sam Yoo

Must leave room for #friedoreos!!

Scott Marsden

Misrepresented their brunch offerings. The kitchen closes at 10:30 not the 11:30 booking we made.

DoubleDeuce

This place is specifically geared towards tourists dipping into the City . It's fine to have a night here but never more than one night.

Liz Kellogg

Definitely spend the extra few bucks for the organic burger . It's got great beefy taste.

Mark Durney

Fantastic view from the Roof... Food is not served from Memorial Day to Labor Day, yes, that is bogus.

Priscilla Sohan

Great view of the city with yummy cocktails to boot!

Nicolas Rigaud

The burger is worth trying

Angel Jimenez

Amazing burgers . Bar on the rooftop is worth a visit.

Ramy Eletreby

Great rooftop with a panoramic view of midtown.

Marc Phillips

Felina

The ribeye beef nachos are tasty and big enough for 4 people. (Pic is half after 3 people dug in)

John Nguyen

Vodka Thyme cocktail is the perfect refreshing summer drink .

Sean McAuley

The bucket of random local beers is pretty cool an not on the menu !

Amazing south and north Manhattan views .

First time here since the renovation. Place looks great and Club Gold seats had a good view. In fact, based on the layout, there isn't a bad seat in the house for Knick games. - Jonathan Blenman
