I dined here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of cuisine, even on the 'off' night of Sunday. The steak tartare was perfect; fresh, tangy, and well-seasoned. The crab lasagna w/ginger beurre blanc was a great unusual dish, and the beef short ribs were flawless... And to top it off, we had homemade churros, another unusual touch to the menu. I will definitely be returning to sample their other dishes. The service could be slightly more polished, but everyone was friendly and efficient.

I dine regularly in the Village, and I find Knickerbocker's prices reasonable, their steaks as good as any between 14th Street and Houston, their wines-by-the-glass a generous pour, and their wait-staff alrt and accommodating.
