ONE Dine at One World Observatory

We got the brocollini pasta, warm olives, filet mignon, and mashed potatos. The olives were really good and suprisingly a bit spicy! The pasta was great and the filet was perfectly seasoned. Wouldn't go all the way up the tower just to go back but worth going while at the observatory

Had an amazing lunch experience with a fantastic view. The food was exceptional. I especially loved the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Our server was friendly and attentive. We booked the lunch package for $80 (plus taxes and gratuity). It includes an appetizer, entree and drink plus entry to the observatory.

I already had plans to visit One World Observatory and saw it was restaurant week for the time I was there. I have previously been here for restaurant week during a summer a couple years ago and wanted to try it again. The offer for restaurant week reservations were on the website for One World Observatory. With the purchase price, it includes access to the observatory and as with everything, you need observatory tickets. So, it was nice that it was just all in one where I didn’t have to purchase separate things. It is good to take note of the opening times for One Dine as it opens at 12pm. So plan accordingly if you want to see everything before or after - which doesn’t really matter. Checking in with the host was easy and was seated right away. Menus were given for restaurant week and had a good selection of items. This particular one involved 2 courses. No drinks included, such as alcoholic. Other ones vary as I know there’s some 3 or 4 course ones that include alcohol - price reflects. I started with a New World Fashioned. It was good but slightly too strong. To start, I had the Smoked Salmon Flatbread and it was quite good. Nothing that tasted too fishy or too smoked. It had a good balance of flavor. Extra, I ordered shrimp and it was shrimp - nothing new. For the main, I selected the Pork Belly Linguine. I thoroughly enjoyed it until I started to get tired of it. If that makes sense? Like, I started to lose interest in eating it. At first, it tasted great. But after awhile, I did not enjoy the taste. It was also a lot more spicy than I anticipated - and I usually like mildly spicy foods. For extra, I ordered the Cavatappi Mac N Cheese and it was tremendous. The cheese was super good and the flavor was not overwhelming. The right temperature. Overall, the food isn’t bad. I see mixed reviews saying the food isn’t all that, but, seemingly depends on your tastes and what you order off the menu. As I said before, I’ve been to One Dine in the past and it was excellent. So, returning should mean something. As far as the views go, you get great views of the city. What more could you ask for sitting, eating, and drinking enjoying amazing views from that level. If anything that you don’t come here for the food, come for the drinks. They do have a bar and a wide selection of cocktails and other beverages that will sure make your day enjoyable.

Great place for light fare and wine; even though the menu clearly indicates 18% is added, it would have been helpful to be reminded but wait staff ended up getting 40% tip. They were a bit slow but attentive when able to grab their attention. It was worth the view. Pita was served warm and the truffle fries lived up to the expectation. Chicken was ok. Wine nice and chilled but not very large pours. Wine and apps ended up costing close to $200. Still worth it.

I made dinner reservations to celebrate my anniversary, and I wanted to dine with a magnificent view, so I paid the $400 non refundable fee. When we arrived after traveling more than an hour, we were told that visibility was zero, and we could reschedule. At this point we were here and hungry so we stayed. It would have been wonderful if the restaurant notified us in advance of the zero visibility, so we could have made other arrangements, not when you arrived. The point of going there is the views of the city, the sunset, and the river. Food was good, but with zero visibility, not worth $400.
