The Rainbow Room is a well-known upscale restaurant on the sixty-fifth floor of the GE Building in Rockefeller Center, Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It first opened on October 3, 1934, and since then has been extensively renovated and expanded. It features a revolving dance floor, a live big band orchestra, and what is generally considered an impressive view of the city. In 1998, control of the restaurant passed to the Italian Cipriani family, which started Harry's Bar in Venice.
As of December 2005, dinner is $200 per person, $100 for children under 12, and is served in three courses, with various choices for what constitutes each. The food is loosely northern Italian, and there are cocktails, wines, liqueurs, cognacs, and other types of drink available for around $12 to $20 per serving.
A brunch buffet is held on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., $80 for adults, $40 for children under 12. During brunch there is live acoustic guitar.
Private events are hosted in several banquet rooms, and for special events and holidays there are celebrations thrown. On New Year's Eve, the caviar, truffles, champagne, and mixed drinks are included with the price of admission, which is $1500 a head, for dinner through to breakfast at sunrise.
The Rainbow Grill is a separate, somewhat less expensive restaurant with an à la carte menu on the same floor of the building. It has its own celebrations for holidays.
There is a dress code for both the Rainbow Room and Grill suggesting that men wear jackets, and disallowing jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts. For special events the jacket will be required, and sometimes a black tie.
