'21' Club
'21' Club Review
Tradition's the thing at this town-house landmark, a former speakeasy that opened in 1929. Toys donated by famous patrons—e.g., John McEnroe's tennis racket or Howard Hughes's model plane—hang from the ceiling. Down below, Chef John Greeley tries to satisfy everyone with standards like the famous '21' burger and Dover sole with brown butter, and more modern dishes, such as smoked Berkshire pork belly with savoy cabbage and green apples, but the food is almost secondary to the restaurant's storied past. Fellas, a jacket is required, but thanks to a more relaxed dress code you can leave your tie at home.

rufkd, from Washington, DC
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.
