21 Club - New York

We were served our appetizers and then told the kitchen had to close for two hours because the health inspector arrived. Very odd. We had a show and couldn’t wait two hours so we left without enough time to get food somewhere else. Took too long for them to let us know and to get our check after that. The host said it happens once a year and they can’t control it, then the waiter said it happens twice a year so it was all very strange. Usually a delicious meal and great service but not this time. Was really looking forward to a special date night celebration that was ruined.

21 is a classic restaurant.....veteran employees serve classic American food. Most people there at lunch were expense account business executives, but nevertheless, its worth your while to go. Try the Baked Alaska for dessert......fantastic.

Best food and service in years. This is a must for any foodie. Ask to sit with John Tello

'21 ' is always such a delight. Great food and exceptional service.

Crab cake and escargots starters very good. Mains quite average. Our experience was let down mostly by the failure of the sommelier and waiting staff to coordinate the arrival of food and wine at same time, meaning the starters had to go back for quite a while. Secondly, there was an unfortunate shower of dust from the overhead display of memorabilia which was quite off-putting when about to eat! Overall, we left feeling we could have have a better evening for the price elsewhere.
