Gramercy Tavern

We dined in the dining room with the seasonal menu. The atmosphere of this restaurant is incredible. Loved the decorations, lighting, and perfect temperature. It’s dinner and a show because watching the perfectly timed execution of courses being served to tables near you at the same exact time is magical. Loved watching the service staff execute to great standards and seeing two people go to a table at a time to clean plates off at the exact same time. Some of the courses weren’t outstanding, but the dessert was by far the best course. The truffles at the end were a sweet touch and we were sent home with a lemon poppy seed muffin to take home!

We came without a reservation and were able to get seats at the bar after a 45-minute wait. I definitely recommend booking ahead! The dishes were delicious, the salad was super fresh, and the cookie dessert was more like a real cake—amazing. I’d recommend visiting at least for the authentic American diner atmosphere!

Had an absolutely fabulous in every respect Mother’s Day dinner here. Did the tasting menu (which thankfully has no “supplements”) and we picked 2 of each dish. Every dish was superb. Service was particularly excellent. The Austrian wine by the glass is excellent. Hard to pick the best dishes but the two fish courses and the lamb are just slightly better than their counterparts. The bread is amazing. Both desserts were excellent. Great atmosphere. Been coming here since it opened like 30 years ago and still one of New York City’s best. Compares very favorably with other NYC prix fixe places in all aspects including value.

We made a reservation for a weekday lunch with for our team. We arrived at our reserved time and were taken to our table within few minutes. The restaurant was so beautiful inside with all the plants, flowers, rustic decor, huge bar, really created a wonderful tavern vibe. We started our meal with soft and fluffy bacon cheddar biscuits. There were 4 of them in the plate. Having only one of those didn’t seem enough. For entree I had the Tavern burger. It was made with a thick paddy that had delicious flavor topped with melted cheese. The aioli sauce on the side was so good that it enhanced the taste of the burger. My coworkers loved their pressed chicken and meal ball dishes as well. At the end, we ordered a bunch desserts including lemon cake, passion fruit sundae and chocolate cookie. Sundae was my favorite. It was so delicious, incredible flavor of passion fruit and vanilla ice cream. The cookie was little too sweet for me. But the lemon cake was pure quality. Our server Jasmine was amazing. Did an awesome job throughout the lunch. Rest of the staff were also equally pro, filling water, cleaning plates, folding napkins, they were on top of it all. Everyone was super attentive and fully dedicated to their job. At the end they also brought us a small cake for our office celebration. So kind and thoughtful gesture from them. Overall we had a great team lunch. I was so pleased to see Gramercy delivered above and beyond my expectations.

Every time I've been to Gramercy Tavern, it's been an amazing experience. It's definitely a place to go with someone special or to celebrate a special occasion. I was impressed by the décor and atmosphere. I highly recommend the seasonal menu. The service was excellent, and our chef, Michael, did a great job explaining the food when he came over. If you're having dinner with someone, I suggest ordering both options for each course and sharing them. Everything was delicious in my experience. It is a fixed-price experience, and you can pair it with wine if you wish. Finally, it was fairly easy to make a reservation. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely check it out!
