    The bartender and waiter ( Martini Bar table) were the best we met in NYC this week. Very friendly, outgoing, interested in us and very appreciative that we had chosen The Dickens. Absolutely would return based on how welcome we felt!

    I ordered the buffalo chicken burger, and it was delicious. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. The place itself is beautiful, with really nice decor, and the music was good. I didn’t like the cheesecake, but that’s probably because it was baked; I prefer the ones prepared differently. It’s just a personal preference. I really recommend this place.
