Editorial Review for Knickerbocker Bar and Grill – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The turn-of-the-century posters, shiny brass railings, wood paneling and a 100-year-old marble bar make visitors half-expect to see bartenders sporting garters and handlebar moustaches. Especially known for its T-bone steaks (served with creamed spinach and mashed potatoes for the relatively affordable price of $39), the restaurant serves a broad menu that includes pasta, ribs, seafood and giant, decadent desserts, like towering hot fudge sundaes or the made-to-order chocolate souffle for two, made with Valhrona Chocolate and served with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

Had dinner there on a Saturday night- with my husband. We ordered the Crispy Rock Shrimp app- which was amazing and big enough for us to split easily (and I'm an eater), the crab cake was just ok- but still good. The wine list good- they had a nice selection on ½ bottles for a decent price. I ordered the Black Angus Burger and it was the best burger I've ever had- it was huge, cooked perfectly, and had a salad basically on top. Also the french fries were really tasty. My husband had the braised short ribs and LOVED them, I didn't taste but the presentation was great and it was a good size portion. This place was comfortable; tables were close but still gave you enough space. No live music when we were there- from 7-9. We even had a drink somewhere else and peaked back in around 10 and still no band. It was kind of a let down since that was one of the reasons we wanted to try Knickerbockers, but all in all I would definitely recommend for a casual but still nice date spot- It's just cozy and good and the service was excellent.
Pros: Great Beef!
Cons: No Live Jazz

This restaurant is one of my favorites. I recommend getting the black angus filet mignon au poivre. Tonight I thought my tastebuds were in heaven. I am considering going for brunch tomorrow, and will probably get my usual crabcakes benedict (to die for). If you're in the neighborhood, I recommend stopping in for one of the nights when there's music (never too loud). If you're making an excursion, I would say you should make a whole romantic date out of it. Go to La Petite Coquette down the block, buy some pretty lingerie, then go to the Knickerbocker and get a meal and some wine which will certainly seal the deal! Go home with leftovers if you have any, and thank me later. Oh- important to know- at the Knickerbocker, you should order the chocolate souffle for two, but make sure to do it at the beginning of the meal, so they can time it properly.
