Fun dinner at Knickerboacker last night. Great service and noise level is just right! Delicious steak smells came from nearby table, but we are light eaters, so we had the ckicken paillard and one of us had salmon. Both dishes were delicious, warm, and ample. The smoked salmon and potato pancake appetizer was tasty and really prepped the appetite for the main courses. Even the carbonated water had just the right amount of bubbles. We will continure to be regulars at this very comfortable eatery!

Whether you are from NYC or not, you cannot get a more iconic location than GCT. The food is excellent. The service was slow but In their defense they let us sit and talk for 3-1/2 hours. That was awesome and above and beyond, particularly between Thanksgiving and Xmas!
