Unfortunatly the cuisine and menu is over rated..... tries to be inovative and creative but cant be compared to others in town..... maybe they should mantain tradition in simple recipes and score better. The view makes you forget about your paladar..... more

I hadn't realized that The Signature Room offered buffet lunches. It was a very nice surprise. They have healthy choices on the buffet table and the service is great. And I can't say enough about the fantastic view of the city. more

A terrific view and a very nice restaurant. The food was excellent and fairly priced; the wine was another matter. The lowest priced glass of wine cost about the same as my entree. Overall, not a problem; when you look at the bill overall, it was less than I anticipated. I would definitely come again. more

If you want a bat’s eye view (birds cannot fly this high), then the restaurant on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building would be just right for you. Upon arrival, it was a little bit like herding cattle around, with assigned lanes of travel and staff maintaining direction and control. It is certainly not a place where you... more

I've always had a great meal at the Signature room - not typical for restaurants that sometimes just get you in the door for the view. This is definitely the exception to that. more

The views were amazing but the buffett was average. The food was hot but rather bland. But this is the way to go if you are considering going to the observation deck. The price for the meal is just a lttle bit more than the observation deck, so it is a good deal. The wait staff was good, I would... more

This was the first time my husband and I ate at the Signature Room at the 95th. Wanted to for years and finally decided to splurge. Entering the restaurant takes you back to a fifties feeling but we liked it and felt it works. The views are amazing as you walk out of the elevator. Staff were very pleasant and... more

Our family of 3 had made lunch reservations at the Signature Room for a Saturday at 1:30. The line for the elevator to arrive on the 95th floor was long. It appeared as if many folks were simply taking the elevator to take a peek at the restaurant and lounge...not to actually eat or drink there. When the doors open... more

We took our niece and daughter for lunch on a busy Saturday in early August. The view was stunning and the wait staff helpful and attentive. However, we all ordered the lunch buffet and couldn't believe how sub-par the offerings were! It tasted like bad hospital food. Bland, "off" tasting salads; fried chicken tenders, flavorless roast beef, bitter bok choy,... more
