About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood 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.

    Matinee Wednesday's in the theater district can jam restaurants around the lunch hour. This quiet setting was perfect for a very civilized lunch prior to seeing a show.

    It is hard to find a restaurant that is elegant, reasonably priced, and quiet. We were having lunch. We did not have to shout and this was matinee day. Servers was cheerful and excellent.

    A New York Classic! The history of the Round Table is well known, stepping back in time when one enters the lobby is a delight.

    Historic spot. Look up the Round Table with Dorthy Parker at the Algonquin hotel.

    In trying to contact hotel dining room to ask questions re dress code or change reservation to a different time turned out to be a horrific experience. Must be true for many people since the 6 of us ate dinner on a Saturday evening 9/15 and the restaurant was rather empty. Poor mgt. on part of Marriott. This hotel & restaurant has history should have been pacted.

    I'm a huge Dorothy Parker fan so it was pretty cool to have breakfast here. The service was outstanding, amazing! The decor was beautiful. The breakfast menu had a lot of variety and the food was great. I will come back next time in NYC.
