About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

For over 100 years, The Algonquin Hotel has served the world’s most prolific writers and celebrities of the stage and screen. This yearit celebrates the original gathering of New York’s famous wits, authors and critics who in June 1919 organized a first lunch together at the hotel, for what would become known as The Round Table. Their daily lunches lasted for 10 years. The tone they set during these daily meetings set the literary style of the 1920s.

While society columns of the time referred to them as The Algonquin Round Table, they called themselves The Vicious Circle. Most notable members were Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott and Harold Ross, who founded The New Yorker here.

The food isn’t bad and the service is fine but the price is ridiculous. It goes way beyond regularly high hotel prices for food. There is nothing particularly special about the cuisine and even the presentation is lacking. I paid $19 for hummus with pita. $8 for a cup of (stale) coffee. See my picture of the $25 continental breakfast that consisted of a mini muffin, croissant, pastry and little container of fruit. For the same price you can go to an upscale restaurant in NYC and get better food and nicer presentation.

Shabby chic describes the Algonquin's Round Table restaurant, which is really part of the hotel lobby. Table cloths and couches that weren't too low for the tables would have enhanced the ambiance. The staff was attentive and the food was good.
