T- Bone Steaks and is a favorite among many celebrities including F. Murray Abraham, Chris Noth and Alec Baldwin. Racheal Ray listed us in her "NYC Favorites" and has praised our Shrimp Cocktail, Creamed Spinach, and of course our T- Bone Steaks.The word "Knickerbocker" itself, says "New York". Upon entering, you’ll know you're in the Village. Its wood paneled walls sport rare turn of the century posters and original caricatures by Al Hirschfeld. Large leather booths line the walls and brass rails accent the 100 year old marble bar, where Charles Lindbergh signed his Trans Atlantic contract.We have survived the times by using the freshest ingredients from local markets, and offering good solid value and quality.

We love the holiday vibes at Sessions Restaurant & Bar. Beautifully decorated. Attentive service from the hostess to our waitstaff. We enjoyed our cocktail and food was amazing. We really had a wonderful evening with live music by Najah Lewis and Joshua Strim. Our server, Nick was welcoming and courteous. Thank you for an incredible dining experience!

Food was amazing! Service was also very good and attentive. It is pretty small in there (which is obviously not a foreign concept in NYC) and I know they can only do so much about. While I didn’t mind being placed at the community table, I could see how this would not be welcomed depending on who your neighbors are; can only have so much privacy. I embraced it though! Had a charm with the projector in the back playing the 3 stooges.
