So many bad reviews I thought I mite cheer some ppl up
Establishment: Rainbow Room - Cipriani
Location: Rockefeller Center
After reading so many horror stories I thought that it mite be a good idea to let New Yokers know thats its not all hell in NYC, I worked at Rainbow Room at the top of the GE building. Restaurant it self was on 2 floors and I was working on the top floor. The view is beautiful, facing The Empire State building at nite time its just fu#%ing amazing. Managers were very nice (father and son) and very professional matter of fact the whole management team was very nice. I was surprised that senior managers that i didnt even had a chance to meet with knew me by my name. Big kudos to Paul, He is a great guy and everyone else working there including the chef (i kno how chef sometimes can be dickiesh) but he was cool. It was prolly one of the best places i had worked for and cept for 1 dickhead server(no one use to take him seriously anywayz) and another server who thought he was a rockstar everyone else was nice. so dont lose hope cuz there still are some great places to work.

i’ve seen this place ad for staff lots of times…it actually does sound exciting.
are they hiring?
i myself am kind of reeling. i think i’m happy with my job as well. it gets intense for me but i’ve been there a year now with no real scares or drama and after some of the nightmare places i’ve been in the past few years it feels nice.
(waits for distant sound of thunder rumbling…)
I actually forgot to mention all the celebrities you will get to meet, from presidents to jay z and everyone in the middle. Plus, all the expensive steaks you will chow down while working. Just don’t go too far, use common sense and the managers wont mind it at all.
I cooked there for 12 years. Chaotic, hot, anything asked for well done was automatically thrown into a deep fryer, before being finished off in the oven.
Fun Job, met many amazing chef’s.
Anthony Bourdain and I worked together for 3 of those years, and I consider him my mentor.
I actually cried a bit when I( heard it was closing; my best memories of NYC were there.
Cipriani’s, I worked there briefly. They were ok to me, The father and son were the Rose’s, I think. They were ok to me. It was fun at the time.
I know that there was a lawsuit a few years back, I don’t think it got that far though.
Thanks for the good news!!Hope i can get a job in a good place soon:)
