My friends and I go to the Knickerbocker annually at Christmastime--it is our tradition for several years now. We go there because we know the food, the service and the ambiance will also be consistently excellent. I also love that it's still old-school New York in style and ambiance. Also great job with the soundproofing as you can actually have a conversation without shouting. I highly recommend the Snowball to finish off your meal. A+++++

Wonderful experience! Was able to get in a little before our reservation and everything was delicious! Only thing for the great live music- a little lower on volume. No one was able to have a conversation

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!
