「If I had to become a regular anywhere, this would be my pick. You can tell how impressive this restaurant is by the way they execute American cuisine—which, as you know, is usually my least favorite. But they absolutely nailed it.
I was genuinely so pleased with everything. The farm chicken with the onion rings were standouts. Crispy, perfectly fried. The beef steak sandwich looked incredible, but I was way too full to even take a bite—so I’ll definitely be back and will keep you posted. The beef carpaccio was delicious, and while the mushrooms pasta were slightly salty, the creamy, flavorful sauce paired perfectly with the sweet potato bun. (This is their restaurant week menu!)
And let me just say—the desserts are a must. You have to get the apple pie. It was amazing, especially with the hint of balsamic vinegar and Parmesan—holy moly!! The chocolate cake came with a woodside-flavored ice cream that I had never tried before, and I absolutely fell in love.
The back room is stunning, and the service is easily the kind to deserve 30% tip—attentive, polished, and welcoming. This is also an amazing spot to bring your partner to meet the family!」
「We had lunch at Gramercy Tavern on Sunday with a group of four, seated in the Tavern area rather than the formal dining room. The cocktails were a fantastic start—absolutely 5 out of 5. The staff was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming.
The flatbread was excellent, one of the highlights of the meal. But overall, I was hoping for a bit more from the rest of the food. We tried the burger, pork shoulder, swordfish, tomato salad, and liver mousse. While some dishes were fine, the burger and pork shoulder in particular were disappointing and just didn’t hit the mark. The salad and mousse also felt a little ordinary.
For a place with such a strong reputation—and at this price point—I expected the dishes to shine more. Still, the service and vibe were wonderful, which made the experience enjoyable overall.
If I had to rate it: 5 stars for service and ambiance, but about 3 stars for the food, so overall a solid 3 stars.」
「Excellent dinner from start to finish.
The seasonal menu was thoughtful and well executed, with great balance and high-quality ingredients. The lamb main was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the overall pacing of the meal felt just right. Desserts were refined and not overly sweet. Professional service and a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. Would definitely return.」
「First off; special shout outs to Kamor and Morgan for exceptional service and for an exquisite experience. My daughter brother and I went out for my brothers birthday and had a phenomenal time. Thank you to the whole staff for their fluidity and expertise on every single dish that was presented. We shall return soon」
「Really lovely place to dine! Food is delicious and staff is amazing. Host staff is one of the best in the city! The burger is divine, but don’t miss out on the seasonal pastas either! And you can’t miss the chocolate chip cookie with milk. They have a coat check as well which is really nice.
Would definitely recommend you have a reservation or look for seating at the bar.」
「From start to finish, this was the best dining experience my now wife and I have ever had. We’re on our honeymoon, and having each worked over a decade in hospitality, this being our first Michelin-star experience set the bar impossibly high.Our server Michael was exceptional—warm, personable, and spot-on with both dinner and drink recommendations and suggestions for a perfect nightcap afterward. Luka paired wines beautifully with our mid course and mains, elevating each course effortlessly. Chef Michael even came out to chat with us about the industry and mutual connections back home, and surprised us with a lobster and truffle bite that was nothing short of incredible.Every single dish was sublime. The dirty martini (with pickle brine) was the best we’ve ever had. Even their simple red pepper and cashew starter was just shockingly good, and the seafood platter was absolutely worth it. From the yellowtail to the gnocchi and squid ink caramelle, every course hit. The pork loin and belly and the sirloin were both outstanding. Dessert sealed the night—the cherry chocolate dessert, followed by little chocolates to finish with a hummingbird cake. They even sent us off with something special to enjoy the next morning, which we can’t wait to enjoy.Flawless hospitality, thoughtful touches, and unforgettable food. An experience we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.」
「I’ve been to Gramercy Tavern many times in the past, and it’s usually a wonderful experience. The dining area is always lovely, though this time I was seated in a less attractive section, which was a bit disappointing.
The course menu started strong — the starter was full of flavor and really enjoyable. Unfortunately, the main dishes didn’t quite meet expectations. The pork loin was overcooked and dry, and I ended up switching to the sirloin steak, which also turned out to be quite chewy. It felt like the quality of the meat just wasn’t up to their usual standard.
That said, the overall experience was still great. The service was excellent and truly made up for the food missteps. I’ll definitely be back, but hoping for better luck with the mains next time.」
「I’ve been wanting to try Gramercy Tavern for a while, and it didn’t disappoint. The space is beautiful—big but warm, with a great vibe that makes it feel both lively and welcoming. Service throughout was friendly, personable, and exactly what you’d expect from a restaurant of this caliber. I went with the tasting menu, which was excellent and very seasonal. Each course came with two options, and there were some tough choices to make. The meal started strong with an amuse-bouche of oysters that were outstanding and set high expectations for the rest of the night. The beets I had as a starter were delicious and perfectly in season, and the hay-smoked gnocchi was another standout—rich, earthy, and full of flavor. The lamb was also excellent, though my portion had a bit more bone than I would’ve liked. Dessert brought things full circle with a hazelnut tart in a Concord grape sauce that was both seasonal and beautifully balanced. Overall, an outstanding dinner and a place I’d happily return to!」
