A fine establishment with exemplary service and great food. I have been there 5 or 6 times, always for lunch and always in the "bar". Great NYC "buzz" atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Our last night in NYC - we'd heard about the Gramercy Tavern restaurant, which is very expensive. However, at the front is the Tavern Room, which doesn't take reservations and you're seated on a first come first serve. We arrived at 20:30 and waited for 15 minutes for a table, so we had a drink at the lovely bar. The...

I wanted a romantic dinner with my wife, and a knowledgeable friend recommended this restaurant. I made the reservation using the TripadvisorTable method, and it worked very well. We were seated at our correct time, and the matchless service began. Wait-staff is very attentive. We both went for the three course dinners, and the food came out in...

We had the seasonal tasting menu and it was fabulous. Service was perfect and I would highly recommend. One dish was in my top two for the trip. Worth the expense.

Our entire evening was superb. We stopped in on a Monday night. As we did not have a reservation, our wait was about an hour which we casually spent in the bar area. The bartender was very accommodating and took our name for bar seating as well. My daughter and I felt comfortable and enjoyed our cocktails. Once we were...

I wanted to treat a recently married couple to a nice night out in NYC, and was recommended by several Gramercy Tavern. It was an excellent choice! They loved the food and said the service was amazing. They left a nice note from me, and also wrote congratulations on the dessert plate. Totally worth it to see my friend and...

The restaurant is split between a less formal bar area and a main slightly more formal restaurant. We ate in the bar area. Wooden floors and very nice decor. A small but well balanced menu. Food was excellent. Reservations recommended

When we ate at the Gramercy Tavern in April, we had great food and service, but a table that was in a busy, distracting place in the dining room, at the entrance to the hall to the kitchen. I expressed my concern as we left that evening, for the pace quickened as the evening went on, and submitted a review...

We went in the afternoon without booking. We were welcomed in and looked after from start to finish. There is a genuine friendly vibe here and though very busy it was so well staffed we were never waiting long for anything. The sweetbreads I had was excellent and the chicken dish spot on. Starters,mains, a shared meringue, a nice bottle...

We arrived early and had a cocktail at the bar, which was crowded but decorated beautifully. I had a goodfellows burboun concoction and Aussie had a orange blossom bubbles drink - they were both excellent. Dinner was one of two choices: three courses off a list that had 5-6 options for each course or a 7 course tasting- we did...
