Wonderful experience. Live piano, and world class cuisine make this place a rare gem. Highly recommend. Parking can be challenging, but there are city garages nearby.

Our experience was fantastic! The staff was very accommodating and attentive. Our drinks were amazing and the food was incredible as well. I highly recommend this place for a date night or a girls night! Lots of opportunities to get some nice photos as well.

Everything was top notch. I had the duck confit and my wife had the chicken and mushroom ravioli. Both were deelish. The rice that came with my duck will have me searching for a new recipe. Wish I could remember my waitress name because she was stellar 11/10. She was friendly as can be and knowledgeable on all aspects of her menu as well as the drink menu. Enjoyed myself to the fullest and can’t wait to come back.

We had a really bizarre experience at Gershwin’s and won’t be back. We had a 6pm dinner reservation on Sunday night. When we checked in, the waiter said we could only order appetizers because they had a lot of people attending a show. We were very confused by this, since we had made a reservation for dinner and were not attending a show. The bar was full, but the tables were not. People at the table next to us were eating entrees. We asked when we would be able to order entrees, they said they didn’t know. I would’ve totally understood if they said “the kitchen is backed up and we’re taking a little longer to get food out,” but I’ve literally never seen a restaurant tell diners who made a reservation for dinner that they can’t order dinner. Really strange, highly unprofessional, do not recommend.

We had a reservation on an evening with a special event going on at the scope arena so things were maybe busier than normal but we were still surprised by how things were run. We were sat at our table and when the server came they said if we didn’t order entrees within 30 minutes we would only be able to order from the appetizer menu. We quickly ordered our entrees and drinks. Then when we went to order desert we were told they were not serving desert and 5 minutes later desert was served to the whole table right next to us. Food was good but overall it was not a positive experience.

The cocktails were very bad, and for the price point we expected top-tier capabilities behind the bar at least. We’ve had better cocktails at regular fast casual restaurants. The food was basic and lacked depth in flavor. We asked what the seasonal hummus was and the server replied “it’s made in-house”. Overall, the staff were good and the piano player was good too. Ambiance and staff increased our rating. Unfortunately, due to the bad food and drinks, we will not go back.

The crab dip was bland, my pork chop was over cooked, my mashed potatoes had so much garlic in them I couldn’t taste anything else. My wife’s duck was labeled “confit” but wasn’t at all, and her rice was undercooked. My cocktail was weak. I mean how on earth do you make a weak Manhattan? They figured out how. Service was slow.

Arrived at 5 PM and left at 7PM party of 4 Three orders of escargot were very disappointing tiny and tasteless. Truly a poor example of escargot. The entrees were very taste-full, however they where lukewarm. Good thing that Gershwin is located in a tourist area as it would never survive with just locals. I was embarrassed that I brought some good friends for dinner.
