Large lobby with bench seating, hostess stand, seating indoors and on patio, with a friendly staff. Short wait, maybe 20 minutes with no dinner reservation, then we were ushered to our patio seating for the perfect weather and view. A railing lines the back patio to prevent falls below and provides great selfie opportunities. The noise level was raised from ok to loud when a group of young adult men sat nearby.

This was my first time visiting The Gramercy since we recently moved to Lakeway. It's been on our…read moreradar for quite some time, and with my brother in town, we decided to give it a try on a Tuesday night. It was quite busy when we arrived, which immediately set a good mood. The energy inside was great, the decor is beautiful, and the whole space gives off 1920s Great Gatsby vibes. The bar scene looked lively, and plenty of guests seemed to be enjoying themselves. We were offered seating on one of the couches near the entrance but chose a more private table instead. Our server was pleasant and kind, though he appeared new. A few small things were missed. Our appetizer plates sat on the table for about 15 to 20 minutes before being cleared, and fresh utensils were not brought out. The wait time for drinks, appetizers, and our main courses was quite long. It felt like we were there close to two hours, with about 30 to 45 minutes between each course. I arrived starving, and unfortunately the long waits made me cranky and impatient and started to affect my appetite. When our drinks finally arrived, I ordered the seasonal apple cider margarita. I was hoping it would be festive and delicious, but it turned out to be very tangy and bitter and not quite the cozy, fall-inspired drink I had expected. My husband and brother did enjoy their drinks, though. The pork belly appetizer, which came highly recommended, was a mixed experience. I would give it a 10 out of 10 for flavor but a 5 out of 10 for texture. The burnt end was extremely tough to cut through, even with effort, and my knife was not strong enough. While it did taste good, it was not the most tender pork belly I have had. I have had versions that truly melt in your mouth, and this one was much chewier. The fried shrimp appetizer was a solid 7 out of 10. It tasted good, but it did not stand out or wow me. The presentation set higher expectations for the flavor than what came through, and the sauce did not feel particularly unique. For my entree, I ordered the hamburger. It was good and well prepared, but nothing especially memorable, just a solid, classic burger. My brother ordered the fish sandwich and absolutely loved his. We had the chance to speak with the owner, who was very kind and friendly. He is clearly passionate about his restaurant and genuinely wants to continue making it better, which I truly appreciate. I am glad we finally made it in to try The Gramercy. Overall, I would be willing to come back. I think it would be a great spot for weekday drinks, appetizers, or brunch, especially during a busy work week. And I love that it is open late until 12 a.m., which is not very common in Lakeway.

All of our cocktails were expertly made by their mixologists. All of the staff were so friendly and accommodating, and we were treated like regulars on our first, but not last, visit. We did take advantage of their cigar offerings and enjoyed a beautiful Dominican cigar, gale force winds be damned! Check out their website, as there are regularly scheduled concerts and events.

Besides my husand and I, there was one other party seated in the dining area. We were seated at the table pretty prompt and got our water and that was the extent of the service we got. It took the waitress 10 mins to take our order and another 20 mins to get a drink from the bar that my husband ordered,, why it took so long, no clue as there were only 3 people at the bar. After we placed our orders, 2 other groups came in and were seated and their order was taken almost immediately. Within 15 mins of them ordering, their food arrived and one by one the party that placed their order after us all got their food, while my husband and waited for close to an hour. The excuse we received was there was a glitch in the device used to take the order. How that impacts us not getting our food while others did, go figure. Extremely disappointed in this place and it's service. You have lost a local customer.

Located off Anderson Mill in the corner of a strip mall is a bookshelf with a door on the right side. If you cannot figure out the entrance, there is a doorbell to ring as well. I believe it is owned by the same people who own The Mill bar right next door, which makes it feel like a cool bonus space. My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

That's something a lot of places miss, but they nailed it here. The atmosphere has a cool, easygoing energy that makes you want to stay awhile.
