Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Murray Hill

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!

Everything we had was delish! The dining room’s a little tight, though. I would have liked fewer people seated at the communal table. Until the pre-theater diners left, it was really noisy. Also, it was a very cold night outside and the dining room was a little drafty/chilly. And extra symbols on the menu noting gluten-free options would be helpful. The service was great, tho, and all the food we tried was sensational!

We had a great experience - really enjoyed the omelettes, orange juice, and pancakes.

Fantastic experience! We arrived early and they were able to seat us. I ordered the meatloaf and my husband ordered the vegetarian stew. Both meals were delicious. Service was exceptional and very fast (thank you to our server Devon). I would def recommend and will return.

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!
