Profile

You no longer need to wear a necktie at lunch, and the country-club-classic menu has been slightly modernized. In the winter try the pan-seared foie gras with english peas and black truffles or the crispy black sea bass with champagne sauce. But the tablecloths at this famous Prohibition-era speakeasy are still red and white, toys still hang from the ceiling, Nixon's wine is still in the vaults, and, in spite of the lunchtime dress code, the crowd here doesn't have anything against neckties. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Extra

There's a three course prix-fixe Mon.—Fri. for lunch and Mon.—Sat. for pre-theater dinner. A seven course Tasting Menu is available Mon.—Sat. for dinner. Each summer, the restaurant is closed for three weeks, from mid-August through Labor Day.

Dress Code
Men must wear a jacket at lunch, jacket and tie for dinner, and no jeans or sneakers allowed.

Weddings
The elegant townhouse setting of this famed speakeasy-turned-restaurant will accommodate groups as small as 10 or as large as 800, in rooms ranging from the cozy oak-paneled Club Room (complete with humidor) to the sophisticated Puncheon Room, where the walls are adorned with classic cartoons and sketches. You may choose the chef’s seven-course “Wine Cellar” tasting menu or plan a menu of your own.

We came in during the big snow storm of Feb 26th and found the place delightful. At first we were not appropriately attired but that was a quick fix. First time visitor to NYC and here I was...at the 21 Club. The burgers (aka Sliders) were wonderful: moist and very pink in the middle. Absolutely Delicious! Also cheaper to order them in the Lounge vs. the Bar. The toys on the ceiling of the Bar chronicle the deals made here over the years. We got a tour of the cellar with the 5 ton door with the secret lock, sat at the 20 person boardroom table and viewed private wine stocks of President Nixon to Burgess Meredith. Staff was attentive without hovering. I cannot wait to go back!

took me forever to get on here and write this review. was there at christmas time, 2009 in a party of 4. the history of the restaurant and its prestige is what makes it. the food is good, but not unreal. the service was really good, we had about 12 different guys serving us...all friendly and alert, some may not like that as you dont get that person feeling and youre just another table theyre trying to hurry along, but they were all very nice. it is unique and it is a nice atmosphere, could get annoying hearing the loud suites at the bar converting. its classy and im glad i can say i went there. the value though probably isnt worth it. it is pricey for what you get.
