Fodor's Review:

It's undeniably exciting to hobnob with celebrities at this town-house landmark, a former speakeasy that opened in 1929. Chef John Greeley tries to satisfy everyone with standards like the famous '21' burger and '21' Caesar salad, and sophisticated modern dishes, such as risotto of squab and wild mushrooms with butternut squash, Parmesan foam, and black truffles. Service is seamless. This is one of few restaurants in Manhattan that requires jacket and tie.

21 not number one

I was here 14 years ago and really nothing has changed, there's still the having a reservation and not being sure they will honor it, the coat check, the constant upselling on side dishes and desserts and mostly, the lackluster service and being charitable, the food is so average, if it weren't for the prix fixe, the place would be empty.

Food: 3.0 Atmosphere: 4.0 Service: 2.0 Value: 3.0 RATING: 3.0
