I can't believe this establishment received a Michelin star. Yes, service is impeccable -- warm, professional, well-informed -- and the ambience is wonderful -- a romantic mixture or contemporary and country -- but the food lacks the flavor and sophistication I think a 1-star should have. I cannot remember one dish I ate there a few weeks ago. Yes, dinner... more

We arrived for lunch without a reservation and had our choice of eating in the main dining room or the more casual pub- both were beautifully decorated for the holidays - we picked the dining room and wish we had stayed in the pub- it is just as pretty and we liked their menu better. If you are going with... more

We booked in to the Gramercy for lunch on the 30th of December. The entire experience, from the point of being greeted into the restaurant, was faultless. The key elements of any dining experience are the food and the service, and this place was exceptional on both counts. The food - excellent throughout the courses. Beautifully cooked and presented, the... more

Good food with sensitive taste and chic decor was worth No.1 restaurant in Zagat survey. However, the service was less than mediocre. The waiter was never proactive and never poured wine for us even though our glass was empty. He never came to our table unless requested for bread, menu, and check. Better than Union Square Cafe, but not as... more

Jean and I were honored to get reservations to Gramercy for dinner during our trip into the city to see Billy Elliot Saturday Nov 28. Paul was most gracious in suggesting 7PM as he had been to the show and knew its length. Service was incredibly good. Gabes team made us feel very special. I had indicated to Paul that... more

We ( a party of four) visited the Gramercy Tavern in November as part of a trip to NY from Australia to celebrate my birthday. While I had to stay up late to make sure I phoned at the correct time to make a booking the restaurant experience was well worth the trouble. We decided on the "Autum tasting menu'... more

Food and service could not be better. Everything was delicious, every wish and need was attended to with charm and efficiency. The only problem is getting a reservation (and paying for it)! more

We had a great late night dinner on the tavern side of the restaurant at the beginning of Nov. Delicious food, fun atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, what more could you ask. Will definitely return on our next trip to town! more

Gramercy Tavern is always my top pick for Restaurant Week ($24.07 for a three-course meal) as they do not stinge on their menu offerings like many other places do. They offer a wide variety of choices from their main menu, and decent wine options also at $24.07 a bottle. The service is consistently great too. Even outside of Restaurant Week,... more

We went to splurge and the food was extraordinary. The Service was a team with little personality and added nothing to the experience. We did really enjoy a drink prior and would have enjoyed coming back and eating on the Tavern side where things were a bit livelier. more
