The Crooked Knife
“I first heard of this place in a New York News paper listing all New York City Restaurants with fireplaces.”
“After dining at The Crooked Knife twice in the past few months, I can say with enough conviction that this Murray Hill pub is really great!”
“The standard chicken pot pie and shepherds pie are still on the menu along with other traditional Irish food.”

Great Mac and cheese and appetizers! We came for happy hour drinks and ordered apps. Their apps are huge and were delicious!! It was $4 beer during happy hour but full price apps. The place is spacious and feels homey, we sat at the bar tho. Next time will come to try their entrees.
The interior felt a bit dingy to me. I was not wowed by my steak salad, the steak was good, just nothing special either. Description was a bit deceiving…it said it had avocado and mango in it, but when it came out, there was a tiny condiment container of guacamole and a tiny container of some not so fresh mango/onion chutney, not what I was expecting. Service was good, but I was very underwhelmed by my lunch here.
Loved the atmosphere of this place. Very old world, cozy, antique style. This place is definitely hard to forget(unless you're at the bar).
Came here with a big group for my cousins bachelorette weekend and it was a perfect brunch spot. It got pretty packed, but the place is very spacious and it's really comfortable. Not too crammed and not too loud. The service was great, our waiter was really cool and friendly. Overall I really liked the vibes here. Brings in a pretty young crowd, plays good music, and is decorated beautifully.
Only weak point about this place is the food isn't anything special. The menu was very basic and I just got one of the omelettes. I forget which one I ordered, but I remember it sounding more amazing than it actually tasted. But, the food wasn't TERRIBLE, just wasn't that great.
Wonderful brunch spot!
Came on a Saturday around noon w/my boyfriend and got 2 seats at the bar.
ATMOSPHERE:
It was a bar setting with a bunch of tables, but it was cozy (but not too cozy). The noise level started out ok but 1.5 hours later (aka peak. Brunching time) it got pretty loud…then again I had been drinking mimosas for an hour and a half so that might have contributed to it 🙂
FOOD:
We did the bottomless brunch which was a great deal ($34 for an entree + 2 hours of unlimited mimosas or bloody Mary's). I got the smoked salmon benedict & he got the cure omelet – both were great & came quickly. The portions were large enough to fill you up but not so big that it's too much to eat. The waitress/bartender was really nice & came by to make sure our carafe was full.
Overall would definitely come back!
Came here for brunch on a Saturday. Don't worry about taking your time here because the staff certainly didn't seem to care. Server was not exactly attentive and the host/hostesses were too absorbed in their own conversation to care about anything. Didn't seem very professional.
I ordered the burger and to my delight, it came out relatively quick (~15 minutes?) BUT it was nothing extraordinary. The buns were drenched in oil and the fries were soggy… I could've probably gotten a more decent burger at Five Guys.
To their credit though, their mimosa was amazing!
This is definitely a cute spot!
Food: Full 3 stars – now don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad food per say, but I've just had much better food elsewhere. Off the $45 pre-fixe (they were out of salad), the mac n' cheese was delicious. I loved the crunchy bit at the top and thought the presentation was cute. My steak was decent (not the best steak ever or anything), but it was a good medium-well piece of meat. I enjoyed it! I thought dessert was disappointing (both of them – forget what I ordered but cheesecake wasn't good at all)
Service: 5 stars – our server was so sweet! Super attentive with the alcohol and made sure we weren't overcharged with everything – also they let us sit anywhere we wanted which I always appreciate if the place is super empty
Drinks: 2 stars- The pre-fixe menu let's you have unlimited drinks for 1.5 hours and the wine was probably the worst thing I've ever tried (and I'm no stranger to cheap wine because that's all we drink at work), but yea both the red and white wine were bad. I wouldn't bother with the champagne, just get the beer – makes me think pre-fixe wasn't worth it at all
Environment: 4 stars – I mean they played Beyonce's new album (yay go BEY!), and the place was very cozy and intimate, perfect for a small gathering with friends or a date. I would come back for a drink here for sure. The bathroom was awful though (it needed a good scrub and I regretted having to use it).
Pretty solid brunch place in Murray Hill. Came here around 10am for brunch, but the place seemed to be completely full with people waiting around 11:30am. Nice decor with comfortable seating (although a bit dark).
Food was good, but no substitutions. I got the Cure Omelette, which was tasty and very filling.
May return if there's no wait 🙂
Ehhhh. I see this place is a brunch spot, which would explain a lot.
I was here for dinner on 7PM Saturday night with a party of 11. There is a good $45 deal including a three course meal and unlimited drinks in a 1.5 hour time limit. We ended up being here for over three hours because of how ridiculously s-l-o-w the food came out. I was expecting to be out of there by 9 but kind of impossible when you just got your entree. I'm not too sure why it took so long considering there were maybe 4 other tables there and most of us ordered the exact same dishes.
The food was okay – nothing special and definitely not worth the wait. For the appetizer, they were out of the soup so we were given the option of Mac n Cheese. It was tasty, not too cheesy and with a nice crunch. The steak was mediocre and I thought the side salad had more flavor. The cheesecake was disappointing.
Our waiter Justin was accommodating to our large and pretty loud party of 11, which is the only reason I'd come back here and give brunch a try. He extended our 1.5 hours to about 2 and also accommodated a side salad instead of fries for my steak.
