Been here a few times & it was always a great time, but most recently sat at the bar & it was truly a phenomenal experience. Bartender Julian really made the evening - provided incredible service & went out of his way to recommend & create new cocktails for us. Highly recommend!
What a gem this place is. Beautiful atmosphere, amazing service & the food is delicious. I was there with a friend, sitting at the bar & we simply had such a great night. I do not live in the neighborhood but this is worth the drive 👌
If you're on a date, enjoying happy hour after work, or simply don't feel like cooking, Knox is always a reliable choice. The food is consistently excellent, with a seasonal menu that never compromises on flavor or quality. I've been a customer for the last 5-6 years, & I've never had a bad experience or been disappointed. The staff are incredibly friendly, yet professional & the cocktail crafted by real mixologist (great bartender) are outstanding. Bref, just give it a try & I'm sure you'll be back!
It was okay, went twice, 1 year apart, the food was good, the waiters & bartenders were a bit lax, both times I left with the impression that service wasn't the top priority.
Generally speaking, I don't even notice service which means they are doing a good job, I don't know what it is but both times I went someone I was with pointed out the same thing, something was off.
If it was once I wouldn't bother to leave a review, but twice is worth something.
We wandered into Knox looking for a simple meal & drink. The food was complex & beautifully presented. The bar staff Ben & Matt were delightful. We loved the vibe & will be back.
Reservation strongly recommended, they are often full.
Limited, but tasty menu.
For a bar, had some minor apprehensions. Disappointed in the size of the pint glasses, felt like a small beer glass for the price. Also limited in wine by the glass options.
Nice local spot. The food is amazing for a local bar. You have to try their beef tartare & they have the best Brussels sprouts I've ever tried. Also their oysters are amazing. Way cheaper than downtown places.
Nice ambiance, great food, I loved the pasta with oyster mushroom & creamy sauce that was so tasty & fresh. Brisket & fries is also nice but too salty for me. I would suggest to reserve your spot in advance if you want to seat on a standard seat, we didn't , it was a Thursday evening & we had to seat on the bar, as several table was reserved, other than that highly recommended.
Je donne un bon 4 étoiles sur 5 pour ce resto-bar. Belle petite terrasse, excellent service, les frites & la focaccia étaient très bonnes, le plat principal aurait pu être un peu plus élaboré vu les prix, mais très bon aussi. L'ambiance était décontractée. À essayer!
Nice terrasse on a warm summer night. Excellent cocktail on my part, but less so for my friends. Food was definitely not up to par. Brisket was barely edible & salad was drenched in an overly acidic vinaigrette. Gnocchi's texture was completely off & almost tasteless. Over 200$ for 2 people. We were very disappointed as food used to be excellent! Would come back for cocktail & vibe.
