    Brought my son age 17 and daughter age 19 for dinner but was rejected at the door. The minimum age is 21. We were rejected at the door by a really rude guy who seemed more like a security person than restaurant personel. Neither the restaurant website or OpenTable did tell me at any time during my reservation that the minimum age was 21. Bad service.

    The Martini bar is amazing. The endless French fries are such a good incentive to come back!

    The bartender and waiter ( Martini Bar table) were the best we met in NYC this week. Very friendly, outgoing, interested in us and very appreciative that we had chosen The Dickens. Absolutely would return based on how welcome we felt!

    I ordered the buffalo chicken burger, and it was delicious. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. The place itself is beautiful, with really nice decor, and the music was good. I didn’t like the cheesecake, but that’s probably because it was baked; I prefer the ones prepared differently. It’s just a personal preference. I really recommend this place.
