Our waiter AUSTIN was exceptionally helpful. One guest was having a diabetic episode and we had to get food to him immediately. He was most helpful.

Love our meal at strange delight. The room is surprisingly beautiful. The cocktails were very well-made. And the dishes we tried were wonderful. Prices are definitely high, the gin ramos fizz is $10 more than when it was reviewed in August, but I would return. The food, drinks and ambulance were wonderful.

It was a classic spot for a wonderful holiday dinner. The back room is large but decorated beautifully! Glass liquor bottles line the back wall and are lit as if its an art installation, and pictures of famous artists over the decades adorn the walls. Its spacious but not loud and the food was delicious. Everyone had a great meal and the service was impeccable!!!!

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!
