The atmosphere is repeatedly described as welcoming and stylish, sometimes bustling and a bit loud, with a decor that feels both retro and chic. Value is often cited as good for the quality, including reasonable lunch options, though a few dishes are described as small or overly sauced and some menu items as not perfectly balanced.

In sum, this restaurant is regarded as a standout find with an inventive menu, engaging atmosphere, and dependable hospitality, leaving guests eager to return to try more dishes and explore the wine list.
Delicious food & a warm, aesthetic vibe! The spinach gnocchi (gnocchi verdi) was a standout, YOU MUST ORDER THIS! The gnocchi was so pillowy soft & the sauce was rich with a bit of crunch on top.
The other dishes we got were tasty too (see pics) but did not linger in my mind afterwards as the spinach pasta did. Smores & Cream dessert was good but large in quantity - I'm a lover of dessert but would recommend to share this.
On nous demande de prendre un menu de groupe alors que nous sommes 6 à table, une personne décide de ne pas le prendre. Nous sommes servis (les 5 autres personnes) pour l'équivalent de 4 menus & non 5. Nous avons du partager des assiettes en 3 ce qui n'est vraiment pas idéal. Deux personnes ont fait part de restrictions alimentaires qui n'ont pas été respectées. (Viande dans les plats + fromage.) Personne n'est venu nous demander si cela était à notre goût. Nous n'avons pas voulu faire de vagues (C'était un repas de fête). Un courriel a été envoyé pour garder cela en privé mais aucune réponse. Expérience très décevante.

Le décor est amusant avec les assiettes dépareillées & des bibelots un peu partout. Nous étions assis au bar & le barman nous a bien conseillés sur le menu & la boisson.
Coup de coeur absolu chez Knuckles ❤?
Arrêt spontané pour l'apéro dans ce resto de quartier… & wow, quelle découverte ! Le panzerotti, le tartaeclair à l'omble & le Fool Me Wine nous ont complètement conquis : textures parfaites, saveurs franches, équilibre remarquable.
& que dire du service ? Rare, humain, patient, chaleureux… d'un professionnalisme incroyable. Knuckles, c'est une adresse qui marque. Merci. On reviendra, c'est certain !
Un plaisir sans cesse renouvelé. Le menu est réduit tout en offrant une belle diversité. L'originalité des plats offerts est excellente. Le personnel est dynamique & très agréable.
On se revoit bientôt!

Wonderful experience! The drinks, the food & the service were all top notch. If I had to give one small critique it would be about the signature'knuckles' entree. It's very good but not good enough to be a signature dish. Also it was extremely salty.
Having said that, would def go back to try everything else!
Great find! The food was amazing, the staff was excellent, & the atmosphere was terrific!
On the pricier side, but the best meal we had on our month-long trip.
Always the best experience at Knuckles. Amazing food, exceptional service & a fantastic atmosphere. I also enjoy their superb wine selection. A+ all around.
