Excellent service , delicious seasonal tasting menu and wines . Loved the duck breast in particular!

The Corcoran Group

One of the best in New York. Don’t have a reservation ? Eat in the bar area and enjoy the same standout service as in the dining room. We love the Sea Bass and the Pasture Raised Chicken .

Eater

Bill Addison's review: "I loved the way Michael Anthony used pork in ways usually associated for beef . A piggy Bolognese tossed with tagliatelle had an appealing unctuousness and meaty bite." Read more

The Food Sluts

One of the best places in NYC, both in terms of quality and value. Try the tavern for great cuisine at an excellent price. We loved the monkfish with citrus salad ($22) & the ricotta cheesecake ($9). Read more

Eater

Gramercy Tavern is the king of farm-to-table cuisine in New York City . The front room is one of the best places in New York for a leisurely lunch , or a romantic meal during the week. Read more

Amber

Dining in the tavern is always a good choice - consistently good service and delicious food. Also, they have a burger that is only available during lunch , but is worth making an effort for.

Wendy A.

Eating a full meal at the bar is one of the great NYC hospitality experiences.

Ms Helene

Striped bass grilled in coconut milk curry with King mushrooms and roasted parsnips , $24. Lunch in dining room is $1-2 more than in Tavern area.

L. Q.

From the bread and butter that open your meal to the dessert : everything in this restaurant is outstanding. The calamari and lobster starters & the main monkfish were top notch. A good find in NY.

Off The Menu

The Burger : Only available at lunch time and at a limited quantity, this patty is made of brisket , short rib and beef topped with aged cheddar and house-made bacon served with duck fat potato chips . Read more

Go early on a Sunday night, get yourself on the list for the front room and get a drink at the bar while you wait. Seasonal new American dishes, reasonably priced for a 1-star spot, always delicious.

Alex Hennessey

Dined in the tavern-- outstanding apps, unbelievable burger , great wine , chocolate pudding pie (!!); stellar, genuine service

Sacha S

A secret burger place . It's a thing to go here. Come for lunch and ask for their burger . It is NOT on the menu , but they have it and it is EXCELLENT! So nice.

Gothamist

Most of the cider options hail from the New England region, in keeping with the restaurant 's longstanding farm-to-table ethos, but there are also options from France, Spain and Switzerland. Read more

Elizaveta T.

Order gluten-free muffins (instead of ordinary bread ). Just do it, trust me. Amazing lentil soup . Octopus is a great second-course choice. Lamb is decent (but honestly not super impressed)

Elizabeth Burstein

Went again COVID. lovely job w a la carte dining. Enjoyed a dozen oysters Duxbury. grilled sea bass , Brady had cheeseburger . Loved the fall harvest cocktail . apple crumble and panna cotta desserts

Emily Wilson

Consider starting with the duck liver moose. Always finish with the cookie plate.

Serine Baydoun

One of the most flavorful seafood dishes I've had. Lobster bisque adds the extra touch. Let them know if it's you're bday. The cake was coconut , marshmallow and meringue . Just delicious!

Emily Brimmer

Get the off menu burger in the tap room (and sometimes if your really nice in the dining room). Swiss and cheddar , house smoked bacon , and a house made sesame bun !

Chad Horner

the tasting menu is amazing, but you can always go with the Tavern room and order a la carte! (pictured: shrimp w/ brussels sprouts and trout roe over black rice )

PureWow

Grab a beer and a fancy burger at the long, L-shaped bar and bring a book or strike up a conversation with the bartender . Either way, you’ll have a low-key night of deliciousness. Read more

Krista Sande-Kerback

Beautiful decor with tons of fresh flowers around the room. The limeade was some of the best I've had, the monkfish was delicious, and they brought me a cute tray of cookies for my birthday.

Favorites include the Lamb Pappardelle as well as just about anything Mike Anthony does with chicken or smoked fish (they smoke the fish at the restaurant , it's amazing). Read more

Meg Farmer

Wine was superb. Beef tartare , sun chokes & oysters were amazing, as was foie gras . One chef dining with us claimed it was one of the top 5 dishes he'd ever tasted. Skip the burger , go for the lamb .

Tine Hauge

The sea bass was fantastic and the beignets for dessert was just divine. We were so lucky to have Mike as our server, he made the whole experience even better.

CITY GRIT

Soup & Sandwich Special for lunch is a steal! But a fancy dinner in the main dining room (reservation required) is a great splurge! The vegetarian tasting is so amazing, we didn’t even miss the meat!

Maria Culbertson

What's good here? Everything. Good, service, ambience. The best in New York without the pretentiousness . There's no way you can eat here and not be happy.

Jeremy C

Meal was great from start-to-finish with the strawberry donut the best thing. Go with the prix fixe option to explore the menu. Great for a date or chill at the bar after work.

Douglas Elliman

An iconic American eatery with an exquisite menu and beautiful decor. We love the farm-to-table aspect and really enjoyed their seasonal tasting menu and all the incredible selections it offered.

ℳ????????♍

Gramercy Tavern truly deserves the rave reviews that it gets. The ambience, decor, and the food are all exceptional. I would recommend Gramercy Tavern to anyone and everyone visiting Manhattan

Marc

Off Menu Burger : 25 lunch-only burgers per day; ground Adirondacks Grazer beef patty , German butterball potato buns ; bacon-topped, clothbound cheddar ; of-the-moment rotation of condiments

Silene Lim

I have been to GT since 2000. The service and attention to detail is impeccable under the Danny Meyer tutelage. I have never been disappointed by the food nor the price points. Definite must.

Robb L

My dinner start to finish - more casual at the bar - was heaven on a plate. So thoughtful and high quality, with great flavors. Gramercy doesn’t disappoint and continues to amaze me.

Katsu Goto

Drinks, appetizer , entrees, deserts , services, interior and music . Everything is so perfect. Love the coffee selection of Blue Bottle for espresso and Irving Farm for French press .

No Leftovers Jackie Gebel

An NYC institution. Amazing food, classy and swanky without the stuffiness of an old school restaurant . One of my favorites- perfect to impress out of towners

@d_d_dunn

One of my favorite places to be. The burger is fantastic, however sells out quickly. Get in early for lunch and grab one. Pair it with a Mortoni or two.

Iffat Jokhio

Great for a special occasion - they really do spoil you. Splurge and go for the tasting menu - trust them they know what they're doing and are totally good with catering to specific food aversions.

Elizabeth Burstein

Seasonal tasting menu was bomb! Rankings best w/ lowest #. Cucumber panna cotta . #1 - scallops #2 - lobster #3 - char #4 spinach strozzapareti #5 - pasture raised beef and #6 - strawberry cheesecake .

Visit Gramercy's -more casual front room called the "Tavern"It has its own menu all prepared by the same chefs who cook the $100 tasting menus . Try Half Moon Ice Cream Sandwich & Cookie Plate

Epicurious

The bare wood tabletops of no-reservations front room give way to a more sedate scene, and a prix-fixe in the back. But wherever you sit, you're treated to Gramercy's trademark hospitality . Read more

Adam Kuban

Next time you want to eat here an font have a reservation , just sit at the bar and get the $16 soup-and-sandwich set. For just a little more than you'd normally pay for a crappy lunch , you get A+ food

Staff Picks

There's nothing better on a summer's evening than a seasonal peach dessert . Head to Gramercy Tavern to try the peach-and-blueberry shortcake, with pecan and lemon - verbena ice-cream. Delicious! Read more

Trae F

Hands down one of the best restaurants in the city . Danny Meyer sure has this business model down pat. The apple salad and grilled pork belly made my day.

Eater

The unofficial official First Restaurant of New York. Though its formal dining room is a bit too too for Eater 38 contention, the front room and its seasonal American menu wins. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

cynthia farrow

Their menu features classic comfort dishes with premium ingredients and culinary flair. I indulged in the truffle macaroni and cheese & it exceeded all expectations-creamy, decadent, and delicious.

Eric Kuvykin

Eric Kuvykin said, I frequent most restaurants in NYC. Gem. lately i have been using www.jjlist.com to find great people, great places and great deals. this restaurant is a definite thumbs up. Enjoy!

Grace Ferraro

Exquisite dining experience. Food are absolute delight. Classy & elegant decor . Murals & fresh flowers completes the beautiful atmosphere. The price for the 3 meal course is def out of the question!

Lori Luo

A separate tavern and dining room can accommodate any occasion. Diners in the latter area can choose the excellent Seasonal Tasting Menu , six courses of utter perfection.

Tasting Table

Consider the unconventional creations from Gramercy Tavern's like the apple pie-meets-strude. This autumn desserts revolve around Eastern European & Americana-influenced sweets. Read more

Colin Lee

We ate at the tavern, which is first come first serve, no reservations and no dress code. The dining room requires collared shirts for guys. Highlights of our meal was off the menu burger & sea bass
