Very pretty place and a lovely luxury for those of us who live in the area. But now I have learned the perils of being polite to employees whom one does not actually know but who are merely familiar friendly faces at an establishment. I have been a customer since 2008 when the Penthouse first reopened. I have happily spent holidays there, eagerly planned birthdays and date nights, hit the dance floor in my younger days and treated myself to meditatively peaceful visits to watch the sunset and savor a spend glass of wine. I have never had an issue and always try my best to be a pleasant client and tip 20%. I have learned the names of many current employees who are wonderful to me; Jessica, Kam, Eddie, Peter, Rod, Conrad, Juan and others. I am friendly in the way that many of us enjoy being friendly with others who are employed as servers in establishments we frequent. Last week, 3 unnamed employees wearing their Huntley attire saw me at an establishment a mere hundred meters from Huntley. They used their familiarity with my name and face to say hello and to sit next to me at a crowded bar. They then used this proximity to steal my belongings when I stepped away. I didn‘t believe it until the police told me what was on the CCTV. To be clear, i did not suspect the employees nor wish to call police- it‘s simply a matter of policy that I can‘t personally view it or learn its contents without a police report. I was totally shocked that these kids would use my good nature to get near my belongings and take them. Then- The managers and GM of the Huntley expressed absolutely no reasonable sentiment of regret-which further shocked me after this total violation. They insisted that these kids were my „friends“ who were guarding my items by taking them. Given that they lied about possessing my items until I threatened legal action 4 days later; how does that make any sense? „Hey, i mailed your car keys to mars for safekeeping“ makes more sense. The items were also damaged and lost, irreplaceable. I could not be more disappointed by this gaslighting and callous regard for a longtime customer. I don‘t know that they have any obligation to care, despite the employees being dressed in their Huntley attire but I was shocked that there was not even any standard issue politeness. People who eat an entire steak and then complain (purposefully to get free steak) that it was cooked badly-are lavished with care and concern and nothing of the sort happened regarding this outrageous breach of decency. I am just so disappointed in the Huntley which I have truly enjoyed over the past 15 years.

1 Service: Service was amazing!! 💯cant ask for any better. Came here for my birthday and they even wrote me a birthday card, which was very nice of them. Server was friendly and everyone in general is nice 2 food Food is good. Ordered steak, clam and linguine, and sea food tower delux. Clam and linguine is great! Highly recommend. Full of flavors! Steak was good but sauce for steak was eh not my type, but overall very nice. Sea food tower was a bit disappointing due to quality, seemed like some of food was just frozen. But the visual of sea food tower was impressive and awesome. 3 atmosphere Its busy and loud during the dinner time. If u r looking for a quiet place, this place is not it. Window seats are very nice, would have been much better to visit here in the morning, but even at night, city view was good. Fyi, tables are kind of close together. But i dont mind it. Overall experience was pleasant and nice. I recommend this place due to great service! :) Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Are there for happy hour and breakfast since staying at the Huntley-exceptional service and beautiful taste well executed food. A little on the pricey size but worth it for the service and views of the city!

My friends and I went to the Penthouse for brunch and it did not disappoint! I tried one of the juices and a breakfast sandwich and really enjoyed them both. The Shakshouka was also very popular with my group. The service, views, and the food were all amazing! Definitely check it out!
