"RH is named for the fancy furniture store it’s on top of, and if you’re unfamiliar with Restoration Hardware, it’s worth coming here just to walk around and check out couches that cost as much as cars. The menu isn’t super exciting, but they deliver a perfect burrata with charred peppers and a great ribeye sandwich. There’s no hard liquor here, which should be your first indication this isn’t a typical rooftop party restaurant. (Your second indication is that RH closes at 9pm.) Still, this is a good option for fun group dinners when you want to get dressed up." - neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
"Another Meatpacking restaurant that you don’t have to completely avoid. The indoor dining room at Restoration Hardware looks out onto the rooftop area, and gives you essentially the same view of the East River - just without the sunburn or construction noises. If there’s a wait, you can hang out on some of the expensive furniture with a drink in hand (which honestly doesn’t seem like the best idea, but we don’t make the rules). The people-watching here is as important as the double-smash-patty burger here - people really like to be their fanciest selves and it’s excellent." - hannah albertine
"Here’s something you might not know: RH Rooftop is actually from the same person behind 4 Charles. In terms of atmosphere, it isn’t very similar (it’s a rooftop above a fancy furniture store in the Meatpacking District), but it does have a good burger that’s sort of like a distant, slightly less interesting relative of the one at 4 Charles. Considering this place is walk-in only and much easier to get into, it’s worth checking out. Try it the next time you get a new haircut and need a place with a crowd of people who might notice." - bryan kim
"RH is named for the fancy furniture store it’s on top of, and the dining room has a lot of the same decor as store, with marble surfaces, a chandelier over every table, and big windows looking out over downtown Manhattan. The food is from the people behind Au Cheval, and we’re big fans of the shaved ribeye sandwich on a garlic bread baguette. They allow you to carry your drinks in the store, so you can walk around with a mimosa and try to guess how much it would cost to upgrade your life with a giant distressed mirror." - team infatuation
"Pretty much everything about RH Rooftop, the American restaurant on the top floor of Restoration Hardware in Meatpacking, is over the top. From the five floors of really expensive furniture below, to the chandeliers over every table in the dining room, this isn’t the kind of place you’d bring a $12 bottle of New Zealand sauvignon blanc. So while a $50 corkage fee is pretty steep, this is the kind of place where you should open that magnum of Champagne you got as a gift five years ago. Corkage: $50 per bottle (two bottle maximum)." - matt tervooren
