Since opening its doors in 1984 Gotham has received a record six 3-star reviews from the New York Times. After closing alongside the pandemic for 18 months, in November of 2021 a renovated Gotham was reopened by new ownership, longtime Managing Partner Bret Csencsitz and environmentalist Kevin Conrad, with former pastry chef Ron Paprocki taking over the iconic kitchen. Redesigned by its original architect James Biber, Gotham is filled with a vibrant collection of contemporary art by established and emerging artists. A new library and lounge expand the bar experience, while Chef Paprocki's spectacular new menu is being heralded as equally approachable and unforgettable.

The service was exceptional, from the hostess to the Maître d’ to our servers and bartenders. We had drinks named the Autumn Smash and they were amazing and packed a punch. Ambience was great and overall we had a wonderful experience, but the food was average, especially when you consider the price factor. The dessert was a 10/10 (apple tartin) but the lobster and steak didn’t wow us. I’d visit for a cocktail and dessert again but would probably skip the sit down dinner.

My husband and I hadn't been to Gotham in years...and I am so glad we returned for Thanksgiving dinner! The food was superb and, if it was this good on a holiday, I can only imagine how good it is on a random Tuesday! The staff was so gracious and worked beautifully together, like well-oiled machine. What's more, the maitre d welcomed us like we were old friends. The decor is elegant, yet modern and comfortable - a difficult mix to get right, but they do. Truly fine dining, without a hint of pretense...dare I say a neighborhood feel? And lucky for us, it is in our neighborhood!

On Tue 10/31 I reserved a table for 2 on Sat Nov 18. We discussed it with a friend who said she'd like to come too. On Fri 11/3 we tried to change our 2-reservation to 3 people. My wife spent a half hour trying the restaurant phone numbers, which didn't work. I spent another half hour on the phone numbers and filling out a form requesting a reply. Thursday 11/9 - tried again, same result; phone number no good, the form never got answered. So we went on Nov 18. Food was good, tasty but pricy. Service was good. I hate to think what would have happened if we had tried to cancel well ahead of the reservation. I don't want to go through this turmoil again, nor should anyone else. Since they seemed to be unhappy about having to answer a phone call or a filled-out form, they should be ecstatic about the fact that they'll never see me again.

It's just as good as the old Gotham Bar and Grill, and because memory romanticizes, it may be even better. The food was excellent. The service was superior. The attention to detail and professionalism of the management are on par with the best restaurants in NYC. Gotham deserves a star and if they were to add a tasting menu, two.

My first trip to Gotham since the Portale (original chef) era. Pleased to report the place is using an updated approach to its old formula of irreproachable cuisine, gracious and efficient service, a comfortable, multi-level room, and a general sense that this is the apex of New York dining. The menu echoed the Portale days but with updated offerings. My companion had been recently and raved about the foie gras, so we had that and the yellowtail tartare for appetizers. We started with the warm liver, oh-so-good on a thick slice of toast, which if you ate them together provided a nice contrast in texture. The tartare also made a nice contrast in a different way: it was spicy and a little acidic, while the foie had been creamy and savory. The waiter pushed a 48-oz steak for two special, but we decided to go with the menu steak and the duck. The beef was a New York strip cut into squares that were steak-y without being gamey and buttery soft, served in a bordelaise sauce. The duck with a preserved-cherry gravy, the fat trimmed to provide just the right amount of additional moisture to the meat, which had the taste and consistency of steak (though not that night's strip steak). Both came with a small accompaniments that were a little hard to match up to the menu descriptions but were excellent. We gave the steak slightly higher marks than the duck, but either would be worth a special trip. Dessert was a flourless chocolate cake with the taste and consistency of a regular cake, so all good on that front. The wine list had what I felt were far too many four-digit bottles among the French reds that we were looking at, but the sommelier guided us to a Chateau Malescot-St-Exupery Margaux (2009, I think), that more than did the trick at $175. We could have used another half bottle This kind of quality doesn't come cheap: We spent $425 with tax but before the tip, which was generous. A large server staff kept its eye on us the whole time. Looking forward to repeating.

Gotham provided us with a wonderful dining experience. While soft live jazz played in the background, we were served delicious duck, butternut squash soup and halibut. The wine was overpriced by a large margin, but other than that, an excellent experience.

Gotham has been my "go-to" for celebratory events as well as when friends visit from out of town as it is the quintessential NYC restaurant. This was my first visit since the renovation and the departure of Chef Portale. The design of the restaurant retains the timeless attributes with some contemporary tweaks. For those who were around in the 80's this is and continues to be a "power restaurant" providing upscale service and food while avoiding the hushed environment of similar priced restaurants. While I know it is available on the bar menu please consider bringing back the signature burger to the dining room with the tower of fries. It was my go-to and missed.

I started going to Gotham when it first about 50 years ago as I knew Jerry Kretchmer, a NYC politician and one of the original backers. I make a point to go at least once a year. I was there yesterday, 10/27 for lunch. Everything was predictably above par but the wait for meals to come from the kitchen was almost intolerable. Jason, our wait person was knowledgeable and attentive but he was up against a very slow kitchen. I should also mention that the chef could not have been that busy because only 4-5 tables had guests, one of which only had wine and the very delicious tuna tartar...
