very snobby service. the first thing the guy did when we walked in was check to see if my husband was wearing a tie and sports jacket, but he did it so rudely; he got right up to him and peered into his coat. also, I didn't like that we had to check coats; I mean, we HAD to. we sat in the bar room, ate 2 appetizers, which were not hot and not tasty, had 2 drinks, which were both disappointing (the margarita was all ice and small and therefore way overpriced at $15) and the bill was over $90. the place was dingy and run down looking.very disppointing

I was a bit shocked by the previous reviews. The place is pricy, however we found the food to be excellent, the service nothing short of spectacular, and the atmosphere great. Contrary to the several previous reviews, this is one of the best restaurants in mid-town.

Went here recently for a special night out and it was honestly an embarassment. Some of the food was actually so unappetizing it was inedible. Unfriendly staff. The best thing I'd say about the place is that there is an interesting history. But you don't need to overpay to know the history!

The 21 Club is the type of place you go for the atmosphere and the type of place you go because it's a NY institution. The food, however, is nothing to write home about. While it's not bad, it's far from good. Mediocre at best and the service left a lot to be desired. Also, you have to know where to sit- they put the "old school" NYers in one section and the tourists in the other.

We went as a part of restaurant week, sat in the famous Bar room and to be honest, we didn't *get it*. The place was decorated with toy cars and trucks on the ceiling. I don't know, I really must have missed the point. Would I go back...no. It was ridiculously overpriced for what we got. I did enjoy the staff in their white jackets and bow ties, though. Also, what restaurant has a Bloomberg terminal in the waiting area? Either way, the food was tasty, the creme brulee was definitely one of my all time favorites, and the service was attentive to the letter. I liked that they seat you side by side and it was quite conducive for a romantic evening out.

i took my gf to 21 club for our christmas dinner, and it was a terrific experience (it being both our first time). we ate in the bar room (which you have to experience), had a three course meal, and sat back and enjoyed ourselves. we had their caesar salad to start which was the best salad ive ever had (no joke, and i hate anything green), the sirloin for the main course, which melted in our mouths, but probably the best part was dessert...u have to go and their italian profiteroles, this dish blew my mind away (dont waste your time with any other desserts). what made the night even better was the exceptional service at 21 club...our captain was philip, and while our section was completely booked, he always stopped and answered all of our questions however, gentlemen please be warned, plse make sure u always hav ur jacket on at all times, they are real sticklers about that but what an amazing night thanks 21

Where else can one get an order or French Fries and 12 clams for under $150 in NYC?
