I highly recommend the affogato or, if you're looking for a cocktail, the Ginger Dixie. Cocktails come with nuts and usually fried cheese-stuffed olives, which is the best thing you've never tried.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJanuary 30, 2015GREAT quiet sitdown spot for wine, cocktails in midtown. Amazing bar snacks - esp love the fried olives. Wine is a little pricey but worth it for location and free snacks.
Great snacks that accompany your drinks: mixed nuts, smokehouse almonds, and fried olives. Ask behind the bar for Kendall: she's sharp, fast, and speaks fluent French.
SusumuJune 19, 2017If you can afford the high price tag and enjoy the beautiful decor, then a pricy cup of coffee($8) may be worth it.
Nicholas TangDecember 23, 2017Beautiful location, great fried olives, but everything is way too expensive for what you get. For $20+ per drink I want something amazing.
Alexis HopkinsFebruary 9, 2014Well....everyone is talking about the coffee, but the hot chocolate is amazing! And comes with gourmet marshmallows:)
Brian PonceDecember 5, 2015Don't trust any reviews of Knave or Le Parker Meriden. The unethical GM Sylvie Fayolle gives her own establishment perfect reviews to boost their overall scores.
Wejdan ✨December 16, 2014I love it for afternoon tea. At night it become less favorable because residents of the hotel using it as an entrance.
Lisa EDecember 19, 2016Free appetizer to share with the purchase of 2 alcoholic beverages for Friends of City Center members
Erica van RabenswaayAugust 22, 2011Great place to chat with friends. The ceiling is amazing. I love getting mint tea it goes very well with that little cookie that comes with it! :D
Wilson ZhouOctober 21, 20152015-2016 Carnegie Hall Concert Season, one appetizer to share with purchase of two alcoholic beverages for members.
Juston PayneJanuary 7, 2012Lovely and quiet hideaway off 57th. 40' ceilings, grand chandeliers, and baronial furniture make you feel okay about the latte's $6 price tag.
Sam SchillingMarch 17, 2013All coffee is espresso based, italian style. If you're looking for single origin, keep looking.
Jim ParilloJanuary 10, 2012Best kept secrets in New York. Drinks here are delicious, go unrushed, fried olives and amazing ceilings
Chris LJuly 21, 2014Is your date hard to impress? Take them here, and get the hot chocolate. Save yourself a plane ride to Europe.
Michael LaymanDecember 8, 2010try an americano. it's simple yet delicious. it also comes served on a silver tray with a little anise cookie & a terrific atmosphere.
Jihyun OhDecember 7, 2016They forgot part of our order and the coffee was meh, but unclear whether it was bad brewing or so-so product. Interesting vibe and a good place to chat with others.
The Knave Martini is wonderful. Coffee and a nice drink in one!
Sonny DatoySeptember 9, 2014excellent espresso, but this caravaggio painting that's more like a poster board just looks sad and tacky. why even bother?!
ben allenFebruary 15, 2012very good coffee, nice quiet setting for a business meeting in that area of midtown
Brianna DollingerOctober 17, 2010Soy mocha is delicious. Mozzarella and tomato skewers are good too. Nice eclectic music + relaxing atmosphere.
best coffee in midtown but expensive! go with a friend and they can pay
Great coffee. Mocha is OK.. absolutely not the "amazing" beverage people recommended on here.
Petra LynchJanuary 18, 2016Quiet and subdued though cold and overpriced...cheese selection was in though came with crackers not better than wawa quality....
Vicki RainesNovember 25, 2011The Ginger Dixie was great (although overpriced). Fried olives come complimentary!- Heather FlournoyAugust 7, 2010Perfect place to get away from a conference for a few. Beautiful couches, friendly, perfect espresso
Coffee, beer, liquor and comfy seating..all you need for a good evening.
- micchele tottiNovember 1, 2014Nice ambiance but overpriced and quality don't match the price. Walk half a block to Zibetto for the real thing.
- Brian PonceDecember 4, 2015Terrible treatment of loyal customers and Platinum SPG members. Celine the manager is an unprofessional piece of garbage whose word is worthless. What disappointing experience.
