    We had the 5 course seasonal tasting menu. Food was great and service was excellent. The seating by the bar area was really loud but luckily we got a table all the way in the back which was much quieter and better for conversation. Overall we had a great dinner.

    We came in for our anniversary celebration and did the seasonal tasting menu + wine pairing. The food is, of course, exceptionally good but not the innovative plates I was expecting at this price point. For almost every course, the wine was poured a bit too early from when the food arrived which felt disjointed. Finally, the decor didn’t suit my taste at all, the fall rustic style felt a bit dated for nyc. Overall great dining experience at a Michelin star, New York establishment. Good to check off your list at the very least.

    Came here for a birthday dinner and had an amazing experience! Upon entry, the staff were extremely kind and the decor was warm and inviting, decorated to mimic the fall foliage. They had an extensive wine and drinks list, but we opted for cocktails instead. The bar was able to make me a White Negroni that was spot on. The 6-course menu was simple but delicious, and everything was well prepared (a few minor plating issues but easily overlooked). My favorite was the duck; the most tender I’ve had this year and the skin was thin and crispy. We ended the night with the birthday dessert and espressos. Overall great experience, and would certainly come back in a different season to see how the restaurant decor and menu changes. Highly recommend.

    I went to this restaurant to see my best friend who flew in from California. Wanted a special evening to spend time with her and celebrate milestones while enjoying good food and drinks. We did not have a reservation but were seated promptly after arriving in the main dining room. Michael and Kumar were our server. The entire staff was kind and helpful. My friend and I both got the prix fixed seasonal menu where I opted for the morning glory cocktail and she, the wine pairing. Food was served at a comfortable and fluid pace. In total, my friend and I tried 10 dishes. The wines paired with the menu was perfect and explanations were thorough. Food was delicious! By the end of the evening, we were given apple crumble bread as to go goodies. The bread, even after two days, was still flavorful, moist and delicious.

    Pros: Classic NYC institution. Prime people watching — think rich law firm partners bringing in their stiletto-equipped trophy wives. Tavern area feels like prime 90s (in a good nostalgic way). Nice service. Duck meatloaf was delicious and interesting. Cons: Food was a bit boring. Solid but not necessarily excellent. Can feel a bit outdated and stale, especially for the prices you’re paying. Service was incredibly slow the night we went, although our waitress was very nice.

    Great food, cheerful atmosphere and good wines! We dined in the casual part of this restaurant and shared some dishes among the two of us. All food was well prepared and tasty, especially the Tavern Burger, which came with a medium grilled beef patty and a fluffy bun. Even as a smashburger enthusiast, I have to say this is, hands down, a delicious burger! We took advantage of the fine dining wine list, and the selection is really good, and while there are certainly no bargains the overall pricing seems rather friedly. A nice bottle of champagne was the choice for the evening.

    My family and I came here for my brother’s birthday after making a reservation weeks in advance. When you make the reservation, make sure you’re choosing the right menu because the front of the Tavern serves their more casual fare whereas the back rooms host their tasting menu. We had the tasting menu - a 5 course menu. Each course had 2 dishes you could choose from: one that’s meat based and one that’s vegetarian. We also opted for the seafood starter tray which had the best shrimp I’ve ever had. My favorites of the menu were the squid ink pasta with lobster and the sea bass which had an Asian flavor profile that was both delicate and bold in flavor. Delicious! Shout out to Caroline who was a fantastic server that night and made our experience so fun! The place was clean and had a very casual vibe which I loved because I get annoyed by the pretentious vibe of fine dining restaurants. The staff were all professional and friendly. My only issue is that the place is so large and open that if you’re a group of 5 or more and are seated at a large table, the place gets a lot of echo, which makes it hard to have quiet conversations with the whole table. But, it’s great for intimate tables for 2 people who are seated close to each other. I absolutely plan to come back and try the vegetarian options of their tasting menu.

    Creative pairings and amazing service. The beets were amazing and the fingerling potatoes are definitely stand out. Overall a new tradition. I can't express how great the service was. Being a waiter/bartender, I pay attention to the details and they were great.

    Food was incredible and delicious. I loved everything we ordered! The burger is to die for. The tavern is really loud though, you kind of need to scream across your table to have a conversation.

    Amazing experience at Gramercy Tavern. So, it was our first time visiting Gramercy Tavern, and we actually got recommended by several people. It was totally amazing time. The atmosphere was casual but very well operated at the same time. Gramercy Tavern has two parts in the restaurant. ‘The Tavern’ is where you can sit casually around the hole area and order A La Carte, but if you make reservation for the ‘Dining Room’, you’ll get Five course tasting menu which you’ll be seated further inside of the restaurant. Wine listing, cocktail menu was amazing. We started with two Martinis and a cocktail called Fig. All of the course menus were very delicate and well served. It’s not as fancy as other fine dining restaurant, but you can enjoy fancy good food with a casual atmosphere! Highly recommend for people who would like avoid touristic overpriced restaurant!

    If you're craving a great burger and a chill atmosphere, look no further than the tavern. Excellent service, great vibes, and one of the best burgers you can find in NYC. Duck meatloaf was also unique and satiated our meat craving. We indulged ourselves with the chocolate chunk cookie to top our meal off. Definitely can see why the tavern is so iconic.

    Great service, delicious food. We really enjoyed the tavern burger & ricotta donuts. Saying that, it’s not worth the hype. Trying to get a reservation a month in advance is not worth it. The food was good, but not spectacular or mind blowing.

    The attention to detail was amazing. Multiple people interacted with us, and various people brought the food to the table and they automatically knew who had what. Our water was always filled and the people engaged us in conversation. The food was prepared exactly as described and cooked to the temperature as requested. I would highly recommend the place. The drink was exactly what I wanted and I even ordered a second.

    The food here is so delicious! We came for my brother's birthday dinner right after they reopened the indoor seating. Great service, same great restaurant. Will definitely be back.

    Went for dinner at the Tavern as a group of 4. Shared the oysters / beef tartare / farro salad. Oysters and beef tartare were both 5/5, but the farro salad was a little bland and closer to a 3/5 (but it looked gorgeous!) Burger for my main. Classic carnivore style with no veggies, just beef, beef, and more beef. And bacon and cheese. Minetta’s might win by a hair, but this was still awesome, and one of the best in the city (and perhaps the world). Split a cheesecake for dessert. Didn’t last long. Very very yummy. Overall, a quality dining experience, and even with shared apps and desert, the final bill was still only around $70/person (no drinks). Worthy of a dinner stop.

    Service was phenomenal, but I don't expect anything less at Gramercy. I have heard about their excellence of food and service. Went with a group of 5 and was able to try most of the appetizers and desserts. The entree was delightful, didn't know a carrot could be so sweet. Skirt steak was very tender and cooked well. Duck pasta was a surprise and a lot lighter then you would think. Great place to go for groups or date night.

    Fantastic service and ambience. The food was above average but I would have appreciated more spice / peppers. We had the Strozzapreti Duck and hanger steak. The cookies for dessert were to die for.

    Gramercy Tavern - best burger in NYC is just the start. Everything on the menu is on point in terms of ingredients, cooking and flavours. The atmosphere is excellent, relaxed with a nice buzz. Beautiful interior. And amazing service. A special shout out to Erin who made me feel welcomed and appreciated three days in a row :) !!! Thank you

  • 5/5 Abdulla J. 8 months ago on Google
    A favorite in New York. Great American food and beautiful outdoor seating (when the weather is nice). The bar inside is very beautiful and cozy. The restaurant inside has a fine dining ambience and offers a different experience. However, I ate from the casual/bar menu outdoor. The service is still great no matter where you eat. They start by serving you a complementary piece of focaccia at the beginning, which is actually pretty good. Most importantly, this place makes an incredible burger. Very simple, cheese, patty, onion, sesame buns. I liked the potato chips with the sauce that come with it. Good pickles as well. Patty is super juicy and steak-y, and the sharp cheese complements it very well. This is one of New York’s finest burgers. It does cost a lot for a burger, but it’s very enjoyable and I will always come back.

    Great service. First course of cucumber soup was oddly heavy. Liked the vegetables in the soup. Oddly, I had just had a thimble of the soup that was handed out free at the Union Square Farmers’ Market and it tasted lighter. The focaccia was not an ideal bread for a hot summer day. Maybe baguette? The grilled pork shoulder was incredible. The cherry sundae was amazing- vanilla ice cream, fresh cherries in a parfait glass. The only thing is that it had a dry, non sweet cake mixed in that detracted rather than added. Maybe angel food croutons if a cake element is needed?

    We recently held our wedding luncheon in the private room - the whole affair was perfect, could not have asked for anything more. Vashti, Anasua and team were extremely helpful with the planning. Andrea was our lead server during the event, and it was astounding how friendly and on top of everything he and the rest of the team were. Food was phenomenal, several of our guests raved about the skate and the desserts in particular. The floral arrangements the in-house florist provided were beautiful. Highly, highly recommended.

    I read all about Danny M. Had big expectations of this place and booked the best dining experience. Let me start with service: impeccable. Wine list? Endless. Loved the atmosphere. The food, however, was OK. Good in fact, nothing wrong, but did not impress. None of the dishes will be memorable to us. The service, certainly will.

    We ordered the pre fix tasting menu in the Dining Room. We opted not for the pairing because that would have been too much alcohol. Not cheap. Good flavor on all food. Funny that my favorite was the bread. Don't be afraid to ask for more.

    Excellent food. The Mushroom Lasagna was the highlight. Very original recipe compared the traditional lasagnas in other restaurants. I was also glad to see all food delivered in non-plastic containers. Great value!

    A New York institution, Gramercy Tavern is in my top five places to eat. I recently visited for the new outdoor dining situation - Gramercy Tavern in the Streets. The menu is a smaller selection for obvious reasons, but still classic. The "must-orders" are the oysters, chicken liver mousse (light and whipped texture), and the bolognese. Tables were spaced well enough apart, sanitizer on each table, and it was a pleasant dining experience in true Gramercy Tavern fashion. Can't wait to return.

    Delicious! We sat in the dining room for the tasting menu ($148/pp). The meal was well balanced and flavorful. While everything was delicious, the dessert course was perhaps my unexpected favorite. Great for a special date night or business dinner

    Gramercy Tavern checks off every box for me. The service, drinks, and food were all very solid. I have no complaints at all, to be honest. From drinks to food items, our waitress was knowledgeable about each menu item. If I had to recommend anything from the menu it would certainly be the oysters and the steak. The cheesecake that I had was good, but it didn’t stand out like the rest of the meal did.

    Burger was our favorite it’s just sooooo juicy! The dessert was a very close second. It was a caramelized cheesecake with mandarin sorbet and it was delicious. I didn’t get the cocktails but they were all delicious. We sat outside and it was such a beautiful night in a lovely neighborhood. Great date night place

    Enjoyed a tasting menu this past Saturday. We were very much looking forward to it after reading reviews and a friend from NY recommended it. We were fortunate to get a reservation when it opened up for our weekend visit to NY. We enjoyed every moment of the experience. The food was delicious of course and the service was impeccable. The staff was very attentive and made some great recommendations. Mike was our main server but we had several other who attended to us. We really enjoy our time there and would definitely go back when we are in the city. Thank you Gramercy Tavern for a lovely evening. We needed it.

    An incredible dining experience! The burger was to die for. Didn’t need any sauce with it as the meat and cheese was so flavorful. The wine and desert (blueberry pie) was great too. Will definitely come again, thanks again for the great experience!

    The service was great, but the food did not live up to the hype in my opinion. The ambiance was great though. I didn't really enjoy my entree, the eggplant. It was sour and the very chewy, hard pieces of skin mixed made me not want to continue eating it. I tried liking it, but I had to get my husband to finish the rest. I had a similar dish recently at a different restaurant which didn't have a Michelin star and it was so much better. I enjoyed the ramp flatbread. The beef tartare was very flavourful. My husband said he enjoyed the duck fat chips the most though. The passion fruit souffle was okay.

    Fresh, Flavorful and Fabulous food but we were disappointed and felt disrespected by the service. Specifically, we had a 2 pm reservation and we were there on time. Yet, they took 25 minutes to seat us. Two groups of people who came after us were seated while we waited. There was hardly any apology from the staff for making us wait that long. Even while dining and ordering, we felt the waiters were a bit cold. We hope that this was because of their disrespect to restaurant week customers and not the color of our skin. The food was delicious and had nice flavor profiles, but we didn't feel like it was an experience we would only get at the Tavern/Michelin star restaurant. Most of the items in the menu are things you can find at most other slightly cheaper upscale American restaurants. The restaurant week deal also ends up only saving you about $15 here at best

    You must have reservations, it was packed. I sat at the bar and it was fantastic. The bar tenders were helpful, nice and accommodating ( food allergies and diet requests were easily figured out and adjusted). The decorations for fall were beautiful. The food was amazing. Great seafood platter and burger. Specialty drinks and desserts topped it off!! Love this place

    Great experience at dinner here for a family celebration. The set course doesn't overwhelm and tasted great ! Dint try the wine pairing though. My favourite in the set course was the steak and the dark chocolate dessert. The cocktails are strong and bar did a great job with it. Service was attentive and friendly, and they paced the course just right. The experience was worth the money I felt.

    I mean this place is LEGENDARY. Chef Aretah is a stud, and puts together some amazing dishes. I have never walked away from here less than 1000% satisfied. I can't recommend the burger enough, there's a reason it's a NYC staple. Drinks were excellent, and the energy/vibe in the place was amazing. There's something about walking in here that is so special. The smells and sights, the way the food is presented, the detail by the serving staff and front of house. It's always a unique experience being at Gramercy.

    This was a wonderful experience!! Wonderful food, presentation, service and atmosphere. We had been anticipating our meal here for months. We got the 3 course lunch meal and it was incredible! We also went back to get the burger from the tavern side and it was the BEST BURGER I HAVE EVSR HAD!!! Our anticipation was not misplaced! We will return if we ever make our way back tp NYC.

    Went for Thanksgiving dinner as is one of the best rated american cuisine restaurants currently. The menu was very well curated for Thanksgiving and I was completely surprised on the taste the manage to accomplish for the Turkey dish they were offering. The rest of the dishes were very good but no surprises there for a restaurant of this quality. A bit overpriced in my opinion

  • 5/5 Francisco C. 4 months ago on Google
    I've had this one on the list for a while, and I am glad I finally made it. The pull for me was the American NY style that I was looking for and Gramercy did not disappoint. The burger with duck fat was very tasty! I know it sounds funny to pay $30+ for a burger, but it truly was a delicious burger. One of the best things though, was the drink that I had. Normally I try to sample different things, however the Fall Classic became an instant favorite! You must try the Fall Classic, so simple and crisp, but gives you the right notes and vibes to compliment the NY fall season! Cheers!

    As a person with several food allergies, I was absolutely blown away by the level of care and attention to detail that accompanied our service/meal here. Initially, I only ordered the pork shoulder entree, but the Gramercy Tavern team found out that my friend recently started working for their hospitality group and we received their potato & leek soup starter on the house. Raphael and the wait staff took extra care and effort to acknowledge the ingredients in our respective meals and they gently reassured me that there were no eggs or nuts in my food. And when it came time for dessert, I’d usually just skip it, however, they brought out a delicious vegan cake for me and it was an incredible surprise! This was one of the best dining experiences that I’ve had in NYC and truly the highest compliments to the Gramercy Tavern kitchen and team. Thank you!

    Amazing experience We had the 5 course menu with wine pairing and cheese plate. All the food was amazing and the service was great. I will say the cheese plate didn't seem worth it both in the types of cheese given and the presentation. Other than that we had a great time. As a vegetarian I really appreciated the options for each course.

  • 3/5 Lee-on P. 3 years ago on Google
    Went there for the famous burger. Was supposed to be medium rare, was served more medium well. Got also fries which was a mistake. Everything was more salty than it needed to be. Really muted the excellent bottle of champagne we ordered. Service was good, bit could have been better if they had warned us about how salty everything together would be. Not sure it should be on anyone's must go list.

    The all you can eat in Korean samgyupsal is lit! You can eat whatever you want in there for its lowest price. The meat is so tender and deliciously full of flavor. And it is well marinated. You can also order a soju that really fits the juiciness of the grilled meat. Gonna visit this place again!

    I wanted to bring a friend to a special birthday dinner. Based on all the reviews and research, it seemed Gramercy Tavern was a no brainer. This restaurant did not disappoint. The experience and ambiance were top notch. We chose the prix fixe menus. Each course was unique and beautifully presented. The only criticism is that thst servings are small but that is what you expect for these type of restaurants. Good thing a quick run to McDonald's was planned after dinner as well. Overall, the experience was amazing but not sure I would do it again.

  • 2/5 Jody M. E. 3 years ago on Google
    I got takeout here, and the high expectations I had for food from such a vaunted name were frankly not met. At all. I started with the Everything Under the Sun salad, which consisted of seemingly undercooked barley, a few pieces of an orange squash, zuchini, and eggplant, and three leaves of lettuce. I opened the box to see these ingredients just tossed in part by part, and topped with the lettuce. Really? This seems more like a cheap ofterthought of a salad, and I'm inclined to think a more apt name might be All the Leftovers Under the Sun salad. The campagnelle pasta wasn't bad, but was overly greasy and a tad overdone. After eating the bottom of the box was entirely layered in hardened grease. The dish was topped with parmesan, but not the freshly grated kind either. It's the type of cheese you'd expect to see in an unrefrigerated plastic bottle at Costco or Trader Joe's, or perhaps even at your local dollar slice. Again, really? The three date rugelachs that concluded the meal weren't any better. They had the consistency identical to that of a soggy two day old croissant left in a sealed plastic bag. The granulated sugar that topped them had dissolved into the pastry, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were indeed leftovers from the day before. For the third time in three dishes, really? To top it all off, the hostess had an underlying haughty tone that shown through when I was picking up my food. Maybe it's because I was in a t-shirt and a cap, but when your stand is on the sidewalk and I'm getting takeout, the chances I dress up for your restaurant are nil. Other staff seemed more friendly. Would I get takeout here again? Absolutely not. Would I give them a second shot in person when the full menu comes back around? Perhaps if some money was burning a hole in my pocket.

    Among the best burgers in town, which is saying a lot for NY. Their tasting menu is also notable, especially the vegetable dishes. Great, casual atmosphere

    I haven’t dined inside Gramercy in almost two years because of the pandemic. I was reminded yesterday why it’s still my favorite restaurant in NYC. Ambiance, service, food - all were impeccable - just as I remember. Being back felt like an old friend inviting me over for a meal after a long time away. Gramercy is the only restaurant in NYC that has earned the right to be pretentious, yet is completely grounded and unpretentious. Thank you for continuing to bring me and countless others joy. (Pictured: shrimp brioche with ginger swizzle, grilled summer squash with Spanish clarete, blueberry beignets and lemon cream with cappuccino).

    The food was good, went there for lunch during covid in summer. We wanted a indoor table coz that was a hot day but the AC was just freezing cold in there so we had to move out side. Might come back for dinner coz they seemed to have different room for lunch and dinner and I was told that the dinner vibe is better.

    Our table of 4 did the tasting menu and it was the best decision of our trip. The food was amazing and did not disappoint. The extremely friendly staff made it a great experience for us! Thank you!

    I had dinner at the bar. Service was just okay. The food was excellent though and chic interior. It would be nice if the menu was larger though.

    (12/19/2021) A LOVELY experience every time we visit. We have been visiting Gramercy Tavern for the past 20 years and they never disappoint. From grabbing a glass of wine at the bar or chowing down on Roasted Oysters and Beef Tartare, the ambience and the service is second to none! It's always a MUST VISIT when we fly in from Seattle, and we typically visit more than once during our time in town. We already can't wait to return !!

    Celebrated our anniversary here last night. Food was really good, good portions and really tasty. The staff were really friendly throughout. It's not a place for a quiet meal, especially in The Tavern where you're sat close to the bar - but once we adjusted to the noise it have a great atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Navah F. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a truly special meal and the staff were attentive and mindful of our conversation cadence. I started off with a C and T cocktail which was A+ for a gin lover. It also wasn't too strong or overpowering to get in the way of the wine pairing. The entire tasting menus was really special but the absolute standout was the duck. Best duck I've ever had and a strong finisher protein. The dessert was refreshing and left me feeling satisfied without sugar overload. I'd plan to come hungry and indulge in the tasting menu + wine pairing. While they have a la carte, the composition of the meal was so perfectly balanced you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to go for it. 100% recommend ❤

    Back for the first time in a long time. Still great ingredients, execution, and flavors. It may not be as inventive as other places, but the quality is still up there. Every dish was well prepared, and the service was great.

  • 5/5 Thanya J. 1 year ago on Google
    Gramercy Tavern is perfect. Unbelievably excellent service and food! Plus, it is a Hospitality Included restaurant. The servers are super friendly and attentive. The tasting menu is the best. The desserts are simply sublime. We tried 3 , 2 and 1 Michelin star restaurants on this NYC in 2 years. Gramercy Tavern takes the crown hands down! Its the best even compared to other Michelin 1 or 2 stars in the world that we have tried. We are in love with this restaurant! Fully deserved it’s Michelin star rating ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

    We got in for my friend's birthday. The ambience is really well curated and iconic. The drinks were fabulous and the service at the bar was great. Everyone was happy with their meals. The vegetarian mushroom dish was a little salty and not very exciting. Understandable since this is more of a meat centric restaurant. Definitely worth a try if you can get a coveted reservation.

  • 5/5 Darren 1 year ago on Google
    A 10 out of 10. This Michelin starred restaurant is a must go to. Impeccable service, beautiful food with incredible flavours, and a dining room is stunning. The floral arrangements are at the wow level. One of the most memorable meals we've had in years. Well worth the experience and cost. :)

  • 5/5 Ginny H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a delicious, lovely, celebratory time at Gramercy Tavern for our 20th anniversary yesterday. Our server Erick was delightful, and the entire crew was so attentive. The menu is always changing, but I must recommend the duck meatloaf and black bass, which actually was a sub for the skate, but the buttery creamy sauce was off the hook. Also the desserts made the meal extra special. The tiny glass of milk served with the cookie…and the tiny silver cake stand for our tiny anniversary cake…! I mean let’s be honest, the big ideas are wonderful, but it’s the little details that make memories.

  • 4/5 Hector H. 1 year ago on Google
    This review is for the Dinner Tasting Menu. As I have not enjoyed many other plates that are available. Decided to have our anniversary dinner at the tavern. We enjoyed the Five Course Chef's Seasonal menu, the service provided by the entire staff was very pleasant. Everyone was so attentive and helpful with any request. We will definitely return for future dinners. The reason for not receiving a five star review is because I am not of fan of purée food. It was very tasty, but not my preference. I will gladly give a five star review once I return to try future seasonal dinner tasting menus. At the end of the day I would still recommend for all to experience. Thank you to the entire staff!

    We had their lunch tasting menu in the dining hall. Fabulous experience and value for what you pay for. The service was phenomenal and the food super delicious. Remains one of my favourite go to restaurants in NYC.

    Something about simple food done great makes me happy and this is what you get at Gramercy Tavern - came here for lunch and slotted myself into the walk-in friendly bar. They do a lunch combo or you can order ala carte. Their burger is above average but perhaps too much bread in the ratio… however it’s a good patty blend and is quite tasty. Service is gold star and very comfortable!

  • 5/5 Angela F. 4 months ago on Google
    Gramercy Tavern was recommended to us by a friend and it did not disappoint! To begin we were brought gluten free bread - it was THE BEST we have ever eaten- garlicky and crispy on top-and it did not stick to your ribs for the rest of the night! We then had the steak tartare, veggie and dips to start. Alexis our server was so kind she brought us the duck fat chips so we could dip till our wee hearts were content. All plates were licked clean For main courses we had the burger- my husband said it was THE BEST he has ever had! I had the pork shoulder and loved it! For dessert we had the sundae and chocolate cake (again both gluten free) and delicious To top it all off we loved the atmosphere and the service by Alexis and her team was great! So very glad we came and would highly recommend!

    I cannot stress how perfect my lunch was. I left a long review and sent it directly to Gramercy Tavern about my experience already, but you reading this need to know that I will probably never have a better meal anywhere else. The staff, the atmosphere and the food was absolutely flawless. I never eaten at a Michelin star restaurant before and I can see why they have one. My trip to New York is now completed thanks to the meal I had at this restaurant. The next time I come back to New York I will make sure that I come back again with my family and friends so they can experience what I did.

    Absolutely no doubt for 5 stars for everything. We did the 4 course tasting menu for lunch and every single thing was perfection. Firstly, getting reservations was relatively easy given it was holiday season. We were even able to call and move our slot to a time that wasn't shown on resy. We were running late (as usual nyc traffic) and everyone was courteous and accommodated a late lunch. I'm vegetarian and my husband is not, so here's what we got for the seasonal 4 course menu. 1. Beet and chicory starter for both 2. Bass for husband, squash and chicory for me 3. Duck for husband, butternut squash fritters for me 4. Hazelnut tart for both Everything was made to perfection. The sauces were the star in all dishes enhancing the flavors just right. Best of all - warm potato rolls and butter. So amazing we got it twice!

    Gramercy Tavern is worth every bite you take. The flatbread provides a wonderful start to your meal with the different flavor profiles that are complemented by the char from the grill as well as the NEW roasted oysters that contain a nice crunch from the bread crumbs. They also have well educated sommeliers (Alvaro) who know exactly how to pair your burger or bass for entrees. Which he hit out of the park. As far as desserts go… there’s isn’t anything you can pick that would go wrong; the donuts are a MUST as well as the pudding cake. Those two are by far my two favorites & let’s not forget about their delicious hummingbird cake which was sent to us to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. Lastly, the hospitality and service was phenomenal. Everything was timed perfectly and all the staff was kind and generous. Shoutout to my lovely waitress Madison who is to adore inside and out. Thank you all for making my experience one to remember.
