   Themed ambiance, live music, craft cocktails, service was great. Appetizer & dessert was delicious. Salad and entrees were disappointing.

   Possibly the best food I've had in Norfolk. Love the variety of classic cocktails on the menu as well as the delicious food options. The clams and oysters were delicious and there was quiet a bit of them too! The duck was delectable and the lemon cake was a great way to finish the night! Overall fantastic experience and I will be coming again. Drinks: Sazerac, Mint Julep Food: Clams/Oysters, Duck Breast Entree, Lemon Cake

   My name is Paul fraki , I had a reservation for two with a table upstairs. There where no tables at all up there . But we ended up just sitting at the ones on the first floor. Service was sub par , un organized, ambitious but not helping. Slight attitude from some. The party was all right, food was good. But if I am paying 200 for a table upstairs reservation for two, then that’s exactly what I expect. Not showing up to stand all night.we did find a table down stairs and just sat at it. But if I had to choose to 1. Pay for the party which consisted of four drink tickets some hand food, a place to stand and a bag with some party stuff. Or a three course meal with drinks and a place to sit for the same price id most certainly take the later. We have been trying to get to this place for a couple months now. But you close at 11 and we don’t get off work until 10. Only days off are on monday and Tuesday . But you guys are closed. I know that’s my problem but I was a bit disappointed when I finally made it there.

   Light portions but enough. Had poached pears for dessert. They were cold, uncooked, unripe pear slices. Not what we expected. Cool place though and attentive, non intrusive service.

    Amazing place. They immediately remembered I put there was an onion allergy for one of our family members and let them know exactly what they could and couldn’t have. They have something for everyone even the pickiest of eaters. We went for live music and was not disappointed. The pianist had a wide range of different songs he played so there was something for everyone.

    This was my first time at Gershwin’s for dinner. My wife and her girlfriends had gone here a few times for drinks and suggested we give it a shot for dinner. The service was great. Greeted right away once we got in from the rain outside. Seated within 45 seconds. Our server, Debbie, was completely on top of everything. Water refilled quickly, drink orders and dinner orders placed. She checked on us throughout the meal. She was fantastic. The food was subpar, especially considering the amount spent here. Both of our entrees (steak au poivre and pork Milanese) were beyond over cooked. The chef either fell asleep mid-cooking or their speciality is drying out meat products. Our Caesar salad was underdressed and even my old fashioned lacked taste. Again, for how much you spend on a meal here, it just wasn’t worth it. Granby has numerous offerings within walking distance. 219 Bistro, Luce, Leone’s, etc. Each of these would have been a better option. We had tickets to a play otherwise I would have asked for the food to be sent back, something I never do. Go for the service and the ambiance but save your money and food cravings for anything, literally anything else on Granby.

    We never knew this place existed, we tried it out for a drag show, and the show was amazing! We really enjoyed the food and the ambience however, our server was terrible. She forgot multiple items multiple times. When we reminded her of our appetizers or drinks she seemed annoyed. Even though there were only 4 of us, We were charged gratuity for six or more people… we asked her why, and rudely answered. After we left, we realize we’d never even received an appetizer of shrimp. we would definitely give this place another chance, as long as we got a different server.

    Atmosphere, food, and drinks were excellent! Really felt like I was dining back in the roaring 20's. The dessert refrigerator was down so there wasn't anything available besides cookies -- would have capped the night off to share some dessert. But tiny issue overshadowed by an otherwise amazing dining experience! We will be coming back again!

    The restaurant was lovely. The atmosphere from the moment you walked in the door said Welcome. However, the Duck à l'Orange was only fair. The wine was adequate but not outstanding. The service was slow. It took almost 45 minutes for us to get our meals.

    We've dined here before and then brought friends from out of town. Rave reviews all around. Duck was excellent and cooked to perfection. Filet mignon, cooked exactly to her liking (and she orders Filet Mignon all the time!). Even though it was an early reservation (had theater tickets), service was attentive and gracious.

    I love this place, but it was an off night. Our food very long time and overall the food was just ok considering the price and even the Manhattan wasn’t great. It was loud, but we didn’t mind the energy. The manager apologized and did come over and give us a two glasses of champagne, which was nice…but the hour long wait for the main course was very surprising and unfortunate…a place of this caliber should have done more in my opinion. Will return, but not for some time.

    Gershwin’s has always been my favorite place for the best quality food and drinks. Everything they serve is art. There is so much skill and love in everything they do. The staff are always so friendly and the atmosphere is unlike any other in the area. Whether sitting at the bar or dining at a table, it’s a wonderful experience every single time.

    Time spent at Gershwin's is wonderful. Whether a drink and a snack while listening to music, or a long meal with friends, the experience transports you from today's petty stresses and distractions to a time when "time" mattered. This time, we were grabbing a lite dinner before a show at Chrysler Hall. Nate was our waiter and took terrific care of us. My wife had the Scallops appetizer and the Onion gratinee, and I had the Escargot and the same soup. all perfectly prepared and served as requested. We were tempted by the entrees, but the show was to be rather long, and we worried about getting sleepy. Generally, we regret eating here prior to a show, because the music starts before we leave, and we are tempted to forget the show a stay. However, we always come here because the upscale, Gershwin's, experience prepares our minds and souls to enjoy a similar time at a Broadway production. We will be back soon and have no need to leave. Thanks again.

    Went there for a date food was ok . My chicken was a little burns with chard ends . Felt rude when the waiter told us that “I’ll give you a minute to look over the drink menu i know it can be a bit pricey” just because someone doesn’t dress in a suit and tie Doesn’t mean that can’t afford the menu.

    Go! Great cocktails! Great food! “Our love is here to stay!”Piano and pizazz, Gershwin’s is a night divine. Our server was personable and made for a great experience. “Someone to watch over us…”The atmosphere was glittering and buzzing and we loved it. The food, overall, was excellent. The classic escargot -perfect and French onion (Huge portion) were both above par. Chef, bar, team: “embraceable you” all! Perfect. The cocktails are a star, but so was the food, the decor, and the team. Was s’wonderful!

    The food at Gershwin was delicious and the drink menu (along with an extensive non alcoholic drink menu too) was thoughtful and fun. Having three vegan options was also very much appreciated. We enjoyed the meal, but the portions are ridiculously small. You can literally eat your meal in three to four bites (with the exception of the steak that was ordered by one of us). We ordered the broccolini as it was the market vegetable and we got ONE small stalk. ONE. And it wasn’t just one of us who ordered it, we all ordered it and the amount on each plate was the same. Everything was tasty, and the piano player/vocalist was awesome, but there is a problem with the value of the food. We enjoyed it, but not sure we will come back since the bill was very expensive and most of us did not feel full when we left. Also, when I made the reservation, I mentioned that it was my husband’s birthday but it wasn’t even acknowledged. Not sure why I was asked if it was a special occasion for it to not be mentioned. I think you’d be better off going for drinks and the music and maybe order an appetizer or two and unless they up their game with the portions, we will think twice about a next time.

    Great place. We popped in for dinner and had a bottle of wine, fried shrimp, filet mignons, and pumpkin pie for dessert, all were excellent. The waiter was outstanding and the live music delightful. The area we were at, right next to the piano, is a little tight with 3 small tables side by side, only about a foot apart. That was not too bad, either. We plan to go back.

    The atmosphere and service were great. Our fried shrimp appetizer was really good. My wife’s dish was really good as well, she had the mushroom ravioli. I got the fried chicken and it was not edible. It was way over cooked reminded me of the movie vacation when Clark cut into the Turkey and it deflated. It looked great when it came out but as soon as I cut into it it crunched apart to reveal a overcooked dried piece of chicken. They took it back and didn’t charge me. Liked the place itself might try it again we’ll see.
