by Whitley Chaviano on We were reluctant to do bottle service here because of all the bad reviews. We went ahead and booked a table in their balcony area. It was great. You get to look down at people dancing on the massive dance floor and more importantly watch the dj from above. I love it in this area. Service was just good. We then booked a table for Halloween in what was their old smoke room. It was beautiful in there and our server was very sweet, but I felt like we weren't a part of the party in there. All in all I would definitely recommend Ruby Skye for bottle service.
by Danette Pouge on I wish this place clarified itself as a NIGHTCLUB, and not a place to sit and eat. Had I known this little fact, I would have simply skipped this establishment, and not wasted my time. But the sign DOES say 'mexican grill', and lo and behold, that was what i was craving at the minute. we walk in, while showing id's to a huge bouncer (maybe that should have been warning sign #1), as we walked in.... we saw that there was only ONE table full, with the party just finishing up their food. we turn to the bouncer to ask where we can sit (since there were no waitresses present)... he grunts something incoherent and check his texts..... sigh. we sit. wait. wait. wait. i make eye contact with a female that, more likely then not works there, and she looks the other way. we went up to the bar to try to get someone's attention. negative on that one too. after ten minutes of waiting, and NON EXISTENT SERVICE, we bounced this joint. seriously. what a waste of my goddamn time. if you still serve food, make SURE to have some kind of wait staff around to take care your customers.
by Karen B. on The Frying Pan deserves 5 stars on pretty much any early evening or afternoon. It has stunning views of the Hudson, it's a perfect little date spot to sip cocktails and watch the sun set, and it's just plain fun to sit on a boat in the water on a beautiful day. And-- it's kind of an adult playground if you like climbing up and down ladders, over bridges and taking in some breathtaking views from up top. You may even be inclined to shout something like, "I'm the king of the world!!" and still feel good about yourself. The Frying Pan deserves -2 stars for Saturday night fever dance party. What holds the possibiltiy of a stunning sophisticated evening on the water is COMPLETELY ruined by the meatmarket atmosphere and mind-numbing house music they've decided to blare across the hudson. I came here for my birthday and was so disappointed-- almost embarrassed that my friends would think I'd choose such an awful place to have a celebration. Never again on a weekend night.
