I visited the Knick on three occasions during a recent vacation.
Breakfast: I ordered the special of the day which was an omelette with cheese and vegetables, a side of breakfast potatoes and toast. The breakfast potatoes were very good, cooked crispy and well seasoned. The omelette was lackluster- bland and a bit watery.
Lunch: Turkey burger with a side Caesar salad. The salad was tiny and very basic, and a bit overdressed. The turkey burger was great, but needed more sauce. The sauce is drizzled on top of the bacon, leaving both sides of the bun dry. It turned out okay since the turkey burger itself was not dry and was pretty flavorful. I did ask for a side of ranch and unfortunately, it was not good. It tasted off somehow, and I didn’t finish it.
Appetizer: I got the crab dip, which was good. Rich and cheesy, but wished there were some bread or other vegetables with it besides just lavosh which can be a little dry against an already rich cheese dip. I still enjoyed it and the crab was noticeable.
Dinner: I opted for the bone in pork chop. This dinner is served with German potato salad, red cabbage with apple, broccolini, and a dab of grainy mustard on the side. Everything on this plate was incredible! The pork chop was everything I want in a chop- thick, crisp on the outside and succulent on the inside. The potato salad was perfect- balancing vinegar and smoky bacon with diced potatoes. The broccolini was cooked perfectly and I devoured every bit. The mustard was somehow addictive..it was sweet and tangy all at once. The red cabbage was a great bite along with a little pork chop and smear of mustard, all in one!
Beverages: I had wine, a mocktail and an NA beer during my visits. Really appreciate the variety of selection and the cocktails I saw being served looked very well made.
Service: the servers were excellent, though the food does take a little longer to come out. But I will say, every one of my meals was hot and fresh- I’d rather wait 20 minutes for my food and it be good quality.
Ambiance: it’s a hotel restaurant so it follows that modern but not too upscale vibe. It is not the most pristine or clean (some little messes on floors near busy traffic areas, sticky feeling menus) but the covered patio overlooking the park and surrounding area is very nice.
I would definitely recommend the Knick for anyone looking to relax and have a tasty hot meal and drink with decent service. Grab a patio spot on a nice day if you can!
