We had a reservation in the main dining room and decided to do the seasonal tasting menu, one with the wine pairings, one without. All of the courses were varied, expertly prepared and delicious. We especially appreciated the spacing between courses, which allowed us to not only enjoy the flavor of each course, but also the overall ambience of the restaurant. The service was outstanding from beginning to end and they easily accommodated special requests. We highly recommend the Gramercy Tavern!

We ordered the lunch tasting menu with wine pairing at Gramercy Tavern. What a fantastic value! The amount of food and wine we received for the price (which already included tip) was impressive. The food was wonderfully prepared and presented and the staff were very flexible to accommodate dietary restrictions and make substitutions as necessary. For the price for the wine pairing (about $50 a person for 5 courses) we were expecting lower-end wines, but the wines were the same quality as that used for their much more expensive dinner wine pairings. I would definitely recommend going to Gramercy Tavern for lunch for a memorable meal at a great value.

How Gramercy Tavern earned its reputation for good (or great) food is beyond me, my husband and our two dinner guests. The chefs/cooks appear to have dumped nothing other than salt on all the food. My entrée was so bad that it got sent back. My appetizer (pasta with Bolognese sauce) was drowning in oil; it was disgusting. At the end of the meal our waiter did the right thing; she took the cost of my dinner off the tab. If someone gave me a gift certificate to this restaurant, it would be thrown in the trash.

Our dinner experience at the Tavern's dinning area was nothing short of spectacular. The food was excellent, but even better was the service. I was there with my son and daughter celebrating her birthday. Our server made sure everyone was happy, he provided excellent recommendations and was very friendly. The food was fantastic and the dishes were both the right potion and executed to perfection. Would love to come here again.

I particularly enjoyed the tasting menu at lunch. Considering the reputation of the restaurant, it was up to expectations. Interesting dishes at a reasonable cost for the kind of restaurant it is. Excellent service, friendly and helpful in a comfortable setting. We liked the idea of the no tipping policy. We will return.

Sad to report that after many years going to GT standards have dropped. The food was Average at best on the seasonal menu. The duck was hit but the portion size was tiny. The pasta was sausage and clams a complete miss quality you get at a bad diner. As mentioned portion size are so tiny that my kids left starving - which make it expensive given the 184 for the pre set dinner. Hopefully a one off miss.

The food was good (the chef likes it spicy), but ridiculously high prices for beer and wine by the glass, 3 - 5 Dollars more than Michelin three rosettes restaurant Le Bernadin; staff is strained, maybe because they do not get tips, that's why the prices for beverages are so high - they say.

I loved my evening at Gramercy Tavern! The food was incredible, and the service was terrific. My only critique was the noise level, but considering the architecture and room size it wasn't surprising that it got a little loud. On the upside, the general cacophony covered the borderline pornographic sounds I made while eating the tilefish course!!

Gramercy Tavern, since it’s inception, has been one of my favorite restaurants in NYC — the food is consistently superb and beautifully presented and the wait staff is friendly and professional. There’s never a feeling of being rushed. In one area, however, they’ve become like all others — the only service I require is fresh pepper and, when requested, a small pepper mill was placed on the table. i didn’t expect that; it was a big disappointment.
