Excellent experience beginning to end. The waitress was kind and attentive, and so was the staff that visited in between. The food and dessert was fresh and tasted amazing. Prices were fair for the size portions that were received. We had a great date night / bday celebration.

Best dining experience I've had in years. Now one of my top 3 restaurants to recommend to out of towners. Not a bad dish, and closing out with complimentary bread pudding was delightful.

We have been to Knickerbocker before, and specifically selected it again for our latest visit to NYC. As usual, the food was great and we especially enjoyed the jazz being played at just the right level for both enjoyment and good conversation. Keep up the good work, Knick!

We came here for a date before going to the NY comedy club for a show. The hostess was very warm and welcoming, the waitress we had was super bubbly and nice. She came to the table often checking if we had water and if we needed anything. At the end she even offered us desert on the house which was amazing and delicious. I had the smoked burger which tasted amazing and my wife had the brick chicken which was so soft and juicy. Overall great experience, lovely staff, tasty food.

Unexpectedly FANTASTIC! Food, Service, ambience and design.. excellent. A new GEM to relax and unwind in- while taking a break from the elegant but frenetic atmosphere of Grand Central terminal. Can't wait to return.
