The Upstairs at 21

I came to the restaurant with a few girlfriends to celebrate my birthday and I had a fantastic time. The service was friendly and the food was spectacular. All the girls loved dessert! The upstairs is very bright and we enjoyed the decor.

Pros: Relaxing atmosphere, attentive service

Pros- Everything tasted good, the waiter was exceptional.
Cons- Reserved a table at " the upstairs at 21", but when I arrived, they seated us downstairs saying the upstairs is not open for the evening. (The downstairs is NOT romantic.) Very expensive for an experience you can have in another restaurant for half the price. Portions were very small.

We were very disappointed.

Pros: Food tasted good, service was great

Cons: Reserved for upstairs and they put us downstairs, crowded seating, not romantic, very pricey for OK food and small portions

We started the evening with a perfect chilled bottle of wine. Then proceed to have one of my all time favorite meals in NY! Since there was a big group of us, I think I had a good chance to taste almost everything on the menu. But a few standouts amongst the rest were the sauteed sweetbreads , jumbo shrimp cocktail , the roasted organic chicken and filet mignon.

It will remain all of my all time favorite places to dine in the city. Amazing food, a decor that's both beautiful yet cozy , amazing service and keeps you wanting to come back for more!

Pros: Food,romantic

My boyfriend and I had a belated Valentine's Day dinner in the Upstairs friday night. The experience was phenomenal. Generally speaking, he is not all that into fine dining but he loved it! We had lump crab meat and black bass which were to die for and the wine was absolutely delicious. The star of the show is the captain Christopher. You could tell that he owned the room and made all of his guests feel as if they were at a friend's house rather than a fancy restaurant in midtown. We went the first time for a romantic spot, but we will go back for the incredible food and excellent service.

Pros: Food, Service, Ambience

Had a business dinner here recently. The upstairs room is beautifully painted and decorated. The staff is very professional and the service was very prompt. Portions are a bit small, but the food was very tasty. Excellent desserts. Pricey, but a must for that special night out or business dinner. Guys, make sure you wear a jacket and tie. Dress code is strictly enforced. '21' is very traditional, but that's what is great about it.

My husband and I wanted to treat ourselves and the 21Club is just that a "treat". Warm atmosphere, great service, delicious food and amazing wine list. I recommend celebrating your next special occassion there or having a nice romantic dinner out. We had a wonderful time.

We had a great time at '21' - the restaurant upstairs was intimate and the service outstanding. We drank and talked for hours in the comfy corner table. The food was amazing and looked beautiful, almost too good to eat!! Almost! If you are looking for romantic atmosphere, great food and warm service - Upstairs at '21' is a must.

Pros: Great Location, Best Service, Wonderful Food Loved Everything

Up there with the best restraints in the world, We had Great service, wonderful wine selection and amazing food.
If you like the finer things in life or just want to impress a friend, this is a romantic professional outfit that will have you smiling all night through.

For anyone who enjoys good food, excellent beverages, superb service, and a refined atmosphere, 21 Club cannot be excelled. 21's managment clearly refuses to compromise any of the standards and methods which have made that establishment the premier eatery for almost 100 years. Bravo 21! I only hope that you continue to set the benchmark for another century.

Pros: Best raw ingredients, Best chefs, Imperial service

Cons: , None, None
