Cherae RobinsonAugust 18, 2013Dope view and good people on a Sunday! The living social is shady BUT it's still worth it. Sriracha Wings and Burger are awesome. Tuna tacos - meh. Chocolate banana spring rolls are small but yummy!
Erik CintronJuly 28, 2015A fun spot. Any rooftop is. But right next to queens bridge is an awesome view. The prices are more of their cousin manhattan. The food u can skip. The music is good people are sexy. Valet parking.- @thirstyJuly 8, 2016Just across the East River at the Ravel Hotel in Long Island City, Penthouse808 is a chilled out indoor/outdoor hangout with amazing views of the city skyline and Asian-inspired cocktails and food.
Ben HarloffJuly 3, 2014Had some rain tonight. Manager took care of us. View was incredible!!! Food was great!! Staff was great!! Trumpet player was great!!!!
loran jonakJuly 4, 2017Great view of Manhattan, Roosevelt Island and the Queensboro bridge but most importantly, great sushi and tasty drinks.
Lorena TellezDecember 26, 2013El mejor lugar definitivo/ The best place, so romantic before 11pm and then so cool with good music and drinks!!! The best view
Anna ObrienAugust 24, 2016Stayed in the hotel beneath the restaurant on holiday. Amazing food, 100% recommend. And service was great!
Tasha NicoleJune 24, 2012Get here early if you really want to party because the bouncers clearly think this is a higher level establishment than it is, looking for tips to let you up. Its the Ravel not the W Hotel!
Leo CJune 24, 2016attended my cousins wedding here. awesome view of the city from the rooftop. nice place for a party.
Missmac731November 30, 2013Ambiance is lovely, especially for couples. Smooth rooftop. Happy hour between 5-7. Drinks are worth the happy hour prices but not the full price. Food is cool.
Cooks Serum and Red Swell are great! Also love the rock shrimp tempura and Luau and Skyline rolls.
Edomia zaide BereheJuly 3, 2017Skyline and drinks... try the beer garden, a little more low key then the penthouse.
L BAugust 16, 2014They take their shyt way too seriously here $ 8 beers $14 drinks in the downstairs spot that looks like a garage ...THIS AIN'T MANHATTAN it's long island city...nice roof top and view of the bridge
The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2012As soon as you step out of the elevator, you’ll be greeted with the most wondrous view of the Manhattan skyline (especially at night). The food is so-so, but the drinks are nice and strong.
Mihir Y P BuzzedOctober 7, 2013No cover - drinks are a bit price and tip is included so don't tip additionally... If you got a bike the bouncers are cool they hook you up w/ VIP parking
Stephen LOctober 27, 2016Lobster bake & Clara C Champagne on Wednesday with live jazz around 9pm - fun!
Verna L. HamiltonDecember 21, 2012Amazing views of the city. Absolutely gorgeous (don't leave without the Banana/chocolate spring rolls).
Caitlin E.September 16, 2013Really great place! Great views, good music. Just get there early because the line gets long.
Bee WilliamsNovember 25, 2017This is great place for scenic iconic views of Manhattan! They need a better DJ though, he was playing the worst music that night.
Cheapeats IncOctober 30, 2011Rooftop dining in Long Island City. Off the beaten path but amazing views!!!! Try the Watermelon Martini...DELISH!!!
Jenny AngleOctober 10, 2012Great view, the waitress knew exactly what we should order! She was very honest about the menu. Def would come again! Yum!!!
Ben FischerJuly 26, 2014The sushi platter that says it's for 3/4 people is more like 2-3. My wife and I shared it, finished it comfortably
Village VoiceJanuary 17, 2014Monday nights are the time to go with half off sushi and $5 margaritas.
- Cheapeats IncFebruary 15, 2012Rooftop dining with views of Manhattan. You must try their Watermelon Martini. The perfect summer drink.
JillianDecember 8, 2013I was there last night and the bouncer was so rude. Calling people names and acting superior. Definitely put a damper on on our friends bday celebration.
Drizzy DreaSeptember 21, 2014Nice view. Alcoholic drinks HAVE to be cut with water. I had 2 drinks and 2 shots and felt fine
Pierce PucketteJuly 21, 2013Great place to hangout but drinks are a bit over priced for the area this isn't South Beach!
Jhokania D.October 27, 2015Food is good (skirt steak, coconut curry seafood option), but the portions are very small.

- Tasha NicoleJune 24, 2012I'd come back here to try dinner on a weeknight before I'd ever come to party. DJ 9pm doesn't mix very well, spent most of the night standing around instead of dancing :(
Joe GoldstoneJune 4, 2012Staffed by hookers and with loud, tacky dance music pumped into it on "party nights". Overpriced drinks but the food is more than decent. Best attended during the winter.
