Good local spot that's a throwback to old new York. It isn't about contemporary arty food - it's just old skool comfort food in a comfortable cozy environment. Great banquets! Good brunch.

We were seated at a table barely large enough for two, although we had reserved. Tables were so close that both our backs touched the diners behind us. Manager refused to change our table even though more comfortable ones had become available before our main course. The T-bone steak was not as high quality as on our prior visits. Busboy tried twice to clear our table while we were still eating. Nor were we too leislurely, as we were so uncomfortable. We were not offered a dessert menu, which we did not want anyway. They seemed to need our table for a larger group which had entered. Bill arrived with someone else's bar charges. Maybe they treat regulars differently, but, we have no intention of finding out.

Went about a week ago with a friend for our once a year steak get together and we could not be happier. The owner sat just the two of us in booth and given it was a Thursday night we were both pleasently surprised. The steak was well prepared as were our apps. Great room and great service capped off our night.

My wife and I arrived at Knickerbocker at 6:15 on a Wednesday. She ordered pork chops and I ordered a T-bone steak for one. We got our iceberg wedge within 10 minutes, but waited another hour for our main course. Finally, I spoke to the manager about the wait. He said it was coming out, but it took extra time, because the pork chopwas thick. A likely story. Finally when the pork chop came out, it needed to be cooked more. We sent it back. A few minutes later, the pork chop reappeared without the apple compote. We sent it back again. The third try, the compote was ice cold. Another try, and finally we were satisfied. The food was excellent, but the delay and the errors above made the experience less than perfect. Neverthess, we will return and hope that our experience will improve. Ralph Gansell

While Knickerbocker seems cozy and inviting; dont' be fooled. You will leave here unsatisfied and a little angry about your over-priced, yet very mediocre meal. The burger is average, the chicken is dry and the shrimp cocktail tastes like it's been in the fridge too long.

Me and the wife went on the weekend during the day around 11-12 and found it to be very nice and service was great. They make you feel important. food was great and price good for what you get. I will be back.

For a top steak house, this one is a great value because your side dishes are included in the price as well. The steak is amazing, and I frequently bring people here for special occasions. The spinach is particularly amazing, and the potatoes are great too. I've never had even so much as a questionable dish here. The wine they recommended, a half bottle of Chateau Cadillac 2005, was great for the money as well. I like this place a lot.
