Restaurants near The Knickerbocker

Really great experience. Great vibe and ambience. The food was fantastic. Perfect sized apps so you’re still hungry for your main. Between the 4 of us we got the Porcini burger, beast burger and both the classic and Connecticut lobster roll. They did not miss. Drinks were on point as well. And, I can’t not mention the service. Attentive without being overbearing. Server was always in close enough to the table to flag down if you needed something. Will definitely be back.

This was our second visit to Tony’s and it was even better this time around. It was only my daughter and I, so we ordered the special Chicken Parmesan with Vodka Sauce and Burrata, and a side of rigatoni with broccoli, garlic and olive oil. It was absolutely delicious! For dessert we had the mini cannolis, which were incredible. Our waiter was fantastic! The restaurant was very pretty all decorated for Christmas. The noise level in the restaurant was “energetic” and it was a little bit hard to hear the music and each other talk. But, overall this was a fabulous experience. Still one of our favorite restaurants! Be sure to make a reservation at least a few days in advance. The place is always hopping!

We’ve eaten at Carmine’s a few times now but we love eating there during this time of year. Carmine’s is the perfect spot for a festive holiday meal! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decorations that set the holiday mood. The service is top-notch—attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Their family-style Italian dishes are absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. So, for being in the heart of NYC, it’s a decent value for our family. Whether it’s a holiday gathering or just a night out, Carmine’s delivers a memorable dining experience

We each had a different entree and all were excellent, as was the wine. Dessert and appetizer were also delicious. Wait service was prompt and courteous. All in all a perfect late afternoon lunch with friends before Christmas.

The table-side martini cart was memorable and definitely worth it! Raymond was absolutely attentive and exemplified top notch service: absolutely attentive
