Had a company team lunch here. Walking in, you get the impression that the food will blow you away; it's located on the 4th floor of a well-hidden hotel, hidden almost as if on purpose. Walking up to the restaurant feels like you're part of an exclusive club, which is cool and all.
But when it comes down to the food, I was let down. I ordered the skirt steak salad, which came with 3 slices of steak on lettuce. Lettuce? The cheapest and least nutritional green? And you didn't even add anything to it, say tomatoes or cheese or dressing? Okay. This dish was not worth $26.
We also ordered the banana Napoleon cake. But it isn't even a cake!!! It's just 3 pieces of thin wafers with bananas and sugar in between them. It's also small (waitress said it would be enough for five people but it wasn't even enough for two) and very awkward to share. It breaks apart as soon as you take a spoon to it. Skip this dessert. In fact, skip this place completely.
Located on the 4th floor of the Knickerbocker hotel, this restaurant is definitely on the fancier and elegant side. We came here for lunch and the menu had a handful of snacks, appetizers, and main courses. We ordered the short rib croquette and brussel sprouts to share and then I ordered the mixed green salad (which was beautiful and yummy, but very standard salad) and the gnocchi. While the gnocchi looked delicious on the menu, in reality, it was too mushy, a bit overcooked, and salty. Pretty disappointing.
I don't know if I'd be back, but this was a fancy restaurant that you should go and try if you work in midtown/times square that makes for a good business lunch spot.
Love the minimalist albeit rich textures and design of the hotel and this is no different.
The spread is gorgeous and so well presented the buffet tempers you to leash your gluttony. I live the little bento style boxes on the table offering samples of baked goods. Carb curbers beware.
The waitstaff is über friendly and escorted me to and from my table with my knee issue it was sooo welcome. I wish I could recall the handsome young mans name… Kudos to him.
The views of this place are gorgeous and the redesign of the interiors of this historical hotel are magnificent bravo to the contrast.
I will return.
This restaurant is not one you stumble across unless you are staying in the Knickerbocker hotel but it was worth finding. It is on the 4th floor and depending where you sit, you can have a very nice view of Times Square. We went there after seeing a movie and were glad we did. The restaurant was almost empty but there was an active bar scene. The cosmopolitan I had was really excellent so can understand why the bar might be popular. The food was also very good. I started with the bosc pear salad that had cheese and pecans and tasted great. The sea scallops were tender and tasted good. The cinnamon cake for desert with walnut ice cream was also very good. It was worth the visit and I would go back again.
