The One Eighty has closed- AP Restaurants has taken its place.
Crafting a pizza pie that is literally, quite actually as good as it looks is no small feat. Pair that with the added altitude of running a pizza oven on the 51st floor, and well, colour us surprised.
Views, we knew, were some of the finest in the city, with a wrap-around view facing south affording a voyeuristic sightline of the city. The One Eighty, owned by catering hero Eatertainment brings together the holy trifecta of dining: stunning views, amazing eats and chuggable libations.
Salads and greens are gorgeous too, the Caesar is the real deal, with hunks of bacon. The kale salad is necessary roughness- dotted with pickled grapes. Sizeable for a meal, or shareable if you’re inclined, salads are known to lead to the next thing, and in this case, it was bringing on the tacos! I’m always weary of a restaurant that does everything: Italian, check. Mexican, yup. But in this case, you gotta just let yourself go- not every meal is to be inspected and scrutinized.
While it’s not the service that will keep you coming back, a Yorkville restaurant with soaring views and a huge bar ain’t a bad bet. I’d consider this place for cocktails with the ladies or brunch with the grandparents. And nothing in between.
