Gramercy Tavern

The presentation of the dishes was beautiful, but the food itself was just average. Nothing really stood out or surprised us in terms of flavor. The bread was excellent, and the fish and desserts were enjoyable, but overall the meal didn't quite live up to the expectations for the price. The biggest disappointment was the atmosphere. The restaurant was extremely noisy, and it honestly felt more like a food court than a fine dining restaurant. It was difficult to have a conversation without raising our voices. Another downside was the wait for dessert. We had to wait about 20 minutes after our main course before it was served. It may have been because the restaurant was busy, but it definitely affected the overall dining experience. Overall, it's worth trying once, but I was expecting a more memorable meal and a much better dining atmosphere.

(Review from Dec. 2025): First time at Gramercy Tavern, we had lunch on the tavern side. We both really enjoyed everything we ate, they are serving some really solid American food. The flatbread and dips and the burger stood out above the rest. I think the burger is an all timer in the city. The milk and cookie dessert was fun but it didn’t blow us away. Gramercy also has a great cocktail program, so definitely keep that in mind. I had one of the best dirty martinis ever, it came with homemade blue cheese olives that were out of this world. As to be expected of this restaurant group, the service we experienced Michelin quality, attentive but warm and easy. They brought us a complimentary mini-cake to celebrate our anniversary, it was delicious. One great thing about Gramercy is how seasonal it is. It makes you want to return to see the new menu items and motifs. Overall, highly recommend Gramercy Tavern and can’t wait to return!

Gramercy Tavern is a tried and true establishment. You can safely expect their quality of both food and services to be excellent every single time. One thing that really stood out to me is that even though I am a meat lover, I find myself looking forward to their veggie dishes over and over again. It is impossible to recreate these dishes at home which makes the price tag much easier to digest. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to book the dinning room at GT for any special occasions or for when you just want to indulge on a random Tuesday

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!
