User Reviews for The Upstairs at 21

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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

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

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.

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

Editor's Review

The 21 Club gets personal, with a subdued dining room serving lush, composed dishes to well-heeled foodies.  See the full editorial review.
