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

What a great atmospheric, bistro restaurant. There are 2 places to dine: 1 - in the bistro, next to the bar, main course for about $20; or 2 - in the quiet restaurant at the back, very private and posh, fixed 3 course meal from $90. We chose the bistro and loved the NY city type atmosphere, the buzz about... more

We had lunch in the main dining room. Everything about the experience was perfect. And it should not be forgotten that the attitude and attention of the waiters turns a great experience into an extraordinary one. We had a young woman as our waiter. She turned our experience into a memorable one. I think the cost is right on target... more

This restaurant has some tasty dishes but overall is overpriced. We dined there at for dinner with a selection from their fixed 3 course menu. For $80 US per person, it's not worth it. The atmosphere was average and nothing to rave about. We got stuck in the corner table in the back of the restaurants and this overall offended... more

had heard great things about gramercy and although i generally don't "do" trendy, this place was beyond my expectations. Everything was delicious but the mushroom lasagne was amazing. Each bite tickled my palate. I'd go again in a heartbeat. more

Everything was great especially the halibut on wild rice. But my favorite was that ice-cream with pop corn. It was one of the best dessert I've ever had. The reason I didn't give them five stars is that I tried my husband's lobster salad and I don't think I was not really in love with it. It was just ok. more

We went to enjoy the fixed-price dinner menu for 35$ that they offer at the Tavern part. You cannot reserve there but we went during the week and we only had to wait 30 min. The food was very good as well as the recommended wine. more

Very Nice

Had dinner with three business colleagues at Gramercy last week. Service was great and the food was as good as always. "Pork 3 Ways" was interesting. Seating seemed less crowded than usual but it was a Monday night. Probably a great time to go in hindsight. more
