Needs a Ramsay Makeover
This place is a candidate for Kitchen Nightmares. A bar/restaurant that's not entirely sure of its identity, in one room a poorly lit loud pub, in another room (not completely separated) a well lit dining area that (has nice fireplaces), but looks like it was decorated with every possible trinket in aisle 6 at HomeGoods. The wine list was laughable, $8 for a Merlot that costs aprox. the same amount for the entire bottle. The calamari frozen and very chewy. Main course took a while to come out and was really the most salty, overdone strangely carved chicken I've ever eaten. Mercifully skipped dessert and left, w/ a $90 bill for two. There are some aspects that could make this a serviceable restaurant down the line, but needs a complete revamp...unless it wants to just exist as a "pub", but in the growing world of NYC gastropubs where you can get great food and a great traditional bar, this place is thankfully left behind in the late 90's.

OK
Nice place, wanted a burger. But after quite a while, "rare" came "medium well" and fries mediocre-- frozen. At that point no time to send it back so was stuck. But for $13 what the heck-- wish this nice neighborhood place were better. Pleasant service.

Comfortable and a great time
Went to The Crooked Knife on a recent Saturday night. Had a very nice meal. We were a group of 7 and there was plenty to choose from. Staff was accommodating of our requests. The setting was fun with a vibrant bar scene and good music. Will be visiting again soon.

Yummy!
Yummy! The food is delish, here. It not only has great Irish/English pub food, but the pasta my BFF had was INCREDIBLE. Seafood chowder rocks too. And the place is like, cool….we spotted a couple of hottie’s at a table close by. Totally worth the trip. Can’t wait to try chicken pot pie next time that a friend recommended!

Great gem
I really didn't know what to expect when I slid in here with some friends to get out of the blistering Manhattan wind in the middle of January. What a great surprise. Service was fast and friendly and the food was great. I loved the Shepard's Pie and I had a taste of my friends' entrees as well. The Australian Lamb stew was scrumptious. Such a warm, and delicious experience. The Paella appetizer was great too.

Not a keeper
Kitchy little place - a reprieve for NYers who are accustomed to a bit too much flare, but rrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaallllly......frozen burgers? Wooden plates? Can't wait to see what Mayor Mike's team rates the kitchen with. Given the low quality food, the challenging service (maybe my burger became frozen given the hour wait for food), the novelty of the environment was quickly dismissed. Skip this one.

just ok
I was looking forward to trying this place since it is close to work and received great reviews. The food was just ok, not great. I had the lamb stew, good size portion, tasted fine but didn't excite me in the least. Atmosphere is cozy, not a bad choice if you are in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't go out of my way.
