Has been on my list for a while and randomly made a lunch res on a Saturday. Walked in and the tavern is so cute - very green but stunning bar (I would love to eat there next). Staff is all really friendly and helpful. Came for the burger and was expecting it to be good but was actually surprised by how flavorful it was. The dips and flatbread were awesome too - they brought out a pesto focaccia at the same time ... wow. Chocolate chip cookie was the perfect ending. Will definitely return! read more

came here for restaurant week in 2025 and got sat in the dining room, which was pretty formal. i would definitely recommend coming for restaurant week! very worth it for the price. the food itself was just okay and what's preventing this from being a 5 star review. the beef carpaccio was a bit salty but still good. the hanger steak and tile fish were pretty forgettable. what does it say about me that the free bread was my favorite bite lol... the service was amazing though and the best of any restaurant i've been to. the staff was super attentive and refilled our free bread without us even asking lol. they also gave us a free mini cake for a graduation reservation. the cake was too sweet, though, but i appreciated it nonetheless. read more

With all the fame and hype about Gramercy Tavern, I came in with very high expectations. I sat in the more formal dining room area and ordered from the 3-course lunch menu ($78). Snow peas - These snow peas tasted fresh with a nice crunch and there was actually a solid amount of it. I really liked the combo of peanut crumbles with the sauce. Hanger steak - This was the biggest disappointment of the meal... not because the steak wasn't good (it was actually cooked quite well with a nice crust), but because it only came with 4 small pieces of steak! The plate was mostly just beans and a few veggies... more like an appetizer size. Pan seared skate (my friend and I shared our mains) - This was also disappointing, as the fish was simply too salty, especially when combined with the salty fish roe. Chocolate flan - Also a bit small but pretty good; the flan + cookie crumble combo was tasty. Service: This was a bright spot of the experience - really no complaints here as the staff are super attentive, friendly, and helpful. They gave us some tasty complimentary bread to start and also some chocolates at the end of the meal. Environment: The restaurant is split into a more casual / lively tavern area and a more formal dining area. We were in the latter, which was more peaceful and there actually was a good amount of empty tables around. The decor is upscale without being pretentious or flashy. Overall, while the service was great and the environment is nice, I have to say I was quite disappointed in the food, particularly the main courses. For this high of a price, it's tough to justify coming back, although I certainly don't regret giving this notable place a shot, and maybe it's worth you giving it a try for yourself too - just temper your expectations. read more

This is not an easy reservation to snag and it's definitely because of the vibe. High energy bar, wonder outdoor seating. The service is outstanding and the manager is literally circling ( in the best possible way) the room to make sure everyone looks happy and taken care of. Our server Megan was just awesome. We ordered an Old Fashion and it was more like just bourbon over ice so next round we got a Last Word and it was top notch. The menu is a bit small and not many options which is why I didn't give 5 stars. However, what they do have is done great. We had the burger and it's top 5 of ones I've tried in the city. Also had flatbread appetizer and it was solid. The meatball was good just really really garlic heavy. All in all it was a great dinner and we will certainly make an effort to come back in for another go. read more

This review is long overdue but wow. When you visit this place, you see exactly why its earned and kept its Michelin star. Loves: + Food is delicious. It's classic American food well done. Nothing gimmicky here. + Service is on point. I left the restaurant and was amazed. Everyone is SO on top of it. Extremely kind and knowledgeable. I felt like everyone wanted me to have a good time. The hospitality is truly top-tier. It's so funny writing this months after my experience and still having the hospitality resonate with me so much. + Ambiance is lovely. A place you can go for a special occasion with a loved one or family or friends. + They give us homemade banana bread as a parting gift and it was so yummy, and a special treat for sure!!! Truly this place is phenomenal. It has earned every accolade it receives. I can't wait to come back when I have another milestone to celebrate again. Thank you so much for being such a special place in this city, Gramercy Tavern. :) read more

Had a lovely lunch here. We ate in the Tavern section, not the main restaurant, which was more informal, more crowded -- the table next to us was 4 people at a table that suited 2 -- and unfortunately the chairs were neither particularly stable nor comfortable. The service was impeccable and the food was very good. We split a citrus salad (very good), my friend had the special sandwich and soup, and I had the meatball -- yes, that's singular, one single meatball for $35. It was quite good. We split the citrus cake for dessert. The food was 5 stars. But with the price and crowding, I'm knocking it down to 4. read more

Came for a solo lunch and was pleased. I got the tavern burger and the chocolate chunk cookie. The burger was cooked at a perfect medium rare with swiss cheese and bacon served with chips and a burger sauce. I liked the chips a lot more than I expected to especially since they were cooked well done. The cookie was the star though and was so gooey good. Knowing that it was $12 I expected it to be big but it was HUGE. It's very sweet and soft. I loved that they served it with a shot of chocolate milk. Loved that were super welcoming to a solo diner! Their bar is also great for solo dining if you prefer that. Will definitely return. read more

I've been to the Tavern before and loved their burger so I was excited to try the 5-course tasting menu. The first three courses were great but the last two fell short. The lamb was tough and hard to eat and the pork loin/belly dish wasn't particularly memorable. Dessert (chocolate flan) also wasn't my favorite. Service and ambiance were still solid but overall the meal felt inconsistent. read more

Lunch at Gramercy Tavern was such a treat. We dined in the dining room and the whole experience felt special without being overly formal. I ordered the squash soup and the beet salad. Both dishes were beautifully balanced and full of flavor. The little snacks served alongside the meal were a lovely surprise and showcased some seriously delicious bread. Service was top notch, just as you'd expect. I'm already looking forward to coming back to the tavern, especially because I still need to try the burger everyone talks about. read more

I came with my entire family and it did not disappoint. The food was phenomenal, special, elevated, unique. A true foodie haven.

It's amazing! That chocolate flan... omg. The brunch pre-fixe is absolutely worth it. And that peas starter..... mmmmm

I've been waiting for 20 plus years to try this restaurant. It was not that I couldn't get a reservation, but we moved out of NY and I happen to be back for the weekend. We wanted a nice ambience with highly rated food and we found it here! The 5 course pre-fixe meal came with additional wam sweet potato bread, an olive oil bread to go, and a piece of raspberry chocolate! The service was exceptional and I'll be back again. Hopefully be back within a year! read more

Gramercy Tavern reminds me of the Maya Angelou quote about not necessarily remembering what one says but how they made you feel. On a recent trip to NYC, we came to Gramercy Tavern after probably 10 yrs since our first and last memorable dinner here and it did not disappoint. Service was excellent from the moment we walked in and carried throughout our dining experience. We opted for the cheese plate addition to the seasonal five course tasting menu. Each dish was well plated with memorable flavors. The highlights of the night were the first courses - the crudo and the beets, polar opposites in taste and equally delicious! read more

I wanted to eat at the tavern but they were all booked up, so ate at the dining room. Cocktails: the mole espresso cocktail was not as strong as I expected and I ended up liking it a lot. Their mocktail espresso martini was good too. The NY Vesper was strong although my friend didn't think it was strong enough. The dirty martini was standard enough. Meal started with complimentary veggies and red pepper dip along with warm sweet potato rolls with butter. The bread was very good. For lunch, you can get the prie fixe and choose one of each course. We also got other dishes. Starters: - butternut squash lumache: even though a starter, this had the biggest portion by far. Lots of mushrooms and a nice sauce reminiscent of fall that complimented the pasta - broccolini salad: this was tasty but smaller portion than I'd like - beef carpaccio: tasty as well but unmemorable Entrees: - tavern burger: although not on menu for dining room, they allowed us to get it. My friends did find it a little too salty due to both the bacon and cheese - pan Seared skate: this was my favorite dish, I could've had multiple portions of this - hanger steak: this was good too but unmemorable Dessert - We got the chocolate cake, which was a small piece with cookie crumbles on bottom. It comes with ice cream. - They also gave me a hummingbird cake for my birthday! Not too sweet and a good cream to cake ratio. - There were also chocolate Quinoa bars complimentary at the end - the Quinoa were a little too hard for my liking I do want to come back to the tavern side. The meal was a 4.5 but rounding up due to the amazing service and experience. They also have a coat check and the decor was nice for Christmas. read more

Tasting menu was really delicious you really get what you're paying for. We told them it was our anniversary and they gave us complimentary champagne and dessert.

We ate in the dining room. Overall, some of the best service I've had at any restaurant. From the hostess to the sommelier to the waiters and servers, they were all very helpful and charismatic. They made the experience incredible. We got the three course lunch with the appetizers being delicious, but quite heavy for an appetizer. I could've stopped here! A standout was the beef carpaccio. The squashes were great too. The entree, a total miss. The hangar steak was teetering on cold, the plum sauce did nothing for it, not impressed. The lobster roll was also too heavy of a brioche bun to match with the lobster and it was cold so it felt more like a shrimp salad. Having this warmed would've made a major difference and the greens did nothing for it. Another miss. The pork loin was quite good except it came with a sauce that was not good - fishy and not in a good way. The tilefish was the best entree. Great all around. The desserts? OUTSTANDING. All of them. Would come back just for the apps and dessert. I want to assume they had an off day which explains the lackluster entrees that I'd never except coming from a Michelin restaurant. The service and other food more than made up for it. Definitely will try the tavern next! read more

I've been to Gramercy Tavern many times in the past, and it's usually a wonderful experience. The dining area is always lovely, though this time I was seated in a less attractive section, which was a bit disappointing. The course menu started strong -- the starter was full of flavor and really enjoyable. Unfortunately, the main dishes didn't quite meet expectations. The pork loin was overcooked and dry, and I ended up switching to the sirloin steak, which also turned out to be quite chewy. It felt like the quality of the meat just wasn't up to their usual standard. That said, the overall experience was still great. The service was excellent and truly made up for the food missteps. I'll definitely be back, but hoping for better luck with the mains next time. read more

I have frequented Gramercy Tavern since I was in college. Back then, my parents would bring me there for special occasions or simply when they felt like a fun night out in the neighborhood. Years later, Gramercy Tavern remains one of my family's favorite restaurants. The service and food are impeccable. But I am writing this review to commend them for their wonderful treatment of my parents over the years. Our family has so many wonderful memories of dining there. Thank you for being part of our story. You're a true New York City gem! read more

Gramercy Tavern is an iconic NYC restaurant and lives up to the status. We had dinner in the tavern, which is the more affordable a la carte menu. The decor is very charming and cozy! We started with the seafood platter that included shrimp, ceviche, oysters and clams. They were all so fresh and delicious! We also got the roasted oysters, which were topped with breadcrumbs. Of course we had to get the infamous tavern burger. It came with potato chips and smoked onion aioli. The burger was cooked perfectly and juicy. I enjoyed it, but it was not my favorite burger in the city. Definitely good though! We plan to come again and try more dishes! read more

There is a reason this place has been a staple and an enduring institute. One of my most favorite spots in NYC - and in the U.S. - and an absolute must-visit for the holiday season. Every time I've been, it has hit all the right notes. I love the food in both the Tavern and Dining Room. The Tavern Burger is obviously a must try, but honestly everything on the menu shines - meat, fish and vegetables alike. The cooking strikes a nice blend between modern American and subtle global influences. The wine pairing is also spectacular and generous. Also, don't skip the Tavern's Manhattan and Old fashion - easily one of the best in the city. Service is also equally on point - warm, polished and clearly well-trained individuals. Already look forward to the next visit. read more

Went for Restaurant week, Had lunch in the Dinning Room. The service was acceptable and the food very good. Unfortunately, the service is not one star Michelin.quality. Started with the broccolini salad which was delicious the squash soup was also very nice. Had the fluke which was beautifully prepared, but lacked some flavor. The chicken was nice but also not exciting. All considered it's a wonderful restaurant but too casual all around and not up to the standard I expect from a Danny Meyers Restaurant read more

I dined at Gramercy Tavern for their $60 lunch prix fixe for Restaurant Week and absolutely loved it! Service was impeccable the entire time. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The ambiance was warm and homey. We started with complimentary sweet potato rolls and butter which were pillowy and delicious. I got the sweet corn lumache for my first course which was my favorite dish. It's a pasta dish with a delectable sauce and topped with hazelnuts. The flavor was savory and sweet, and so fitting for the summer with the sweet corn. So delicious! For the main, I opted for the hanger steak. Perfectly medium rare, and so tender. I did find that the sauce it was served with was a tad on the sweet side but it was still delicious. Lastly, I got the basil olive oil cake which came with cherries and coconut yogurt. The cake was incredibly moist and it was the perfect bite with the cold yogurt and tart cherry. With the check, they even brought us complimentary chocolate bark. Sometimes I find Restaurant Week menus to not be worth it but in this case, I would absolutely go again. read more

Favorite burger of all time rn????!!!!!! Ordered medium and it came out perfect (if you are the type to not want any pink in your meat, I would recommend medium well) it was soooooo juicy and flavorful. I love how it comes with potato chips (super crispy btw) rather than fries and the smoked onion aioli really tied everything together. It made me reminisce in n out bc the sauce is kinda similar The beef meatball was a pleasant surprise. I always come on Yelp to look at pics (shocker) and the pictures of the meatball did not look appetizing LOL but I decided to give it a go anyway and it's actually the most perf meatball. It was perfectly cooked so it wasn't dry and the polenta was giving mashed potatoes vibes. The fontina wasn't overpowering. Everything in the dish tied so well together and I'm not usually a meatball eating person so I'm so happy I ordered this dish and I deff recommend if you are debating it! The seafood platter was good, especially the oysters, they were super fresh. But wouldn't order again just bc I didn't love everything on the platter Idk what kind of focaccia they gave me, but it was literally the best thing ever. Maybe pesto?? Had to wait ~15 mins for a bar seat on a Sunday which wasn't bad! The food didn't take too long to come out and the server at the bar was also super sweet. Super casual vibes! read more

Came twice on my most recent adventure to NYC but I didn't have any reservations - that wasn't really a problem as my stomach was on west coast time. Also, I had a hell of a time getting out of JFK into the city so on the first night, I walked in at 10PM requesting a walk in spot. The bar was full and the bartender told me he likely couldn't serve me before the kitchen closed. The hostess found me a table, however, so I was a happy camper. -Bread: Really good bread! Nothing to hate on tbh. Would eat a lot more of this if I could lol -Everything under the sun: I was expecting some more robust flavors or something that made me want more bites, but this was just sort of generic and okay. Wasn't very impressive. -Wood-fired Seabass: This was delish. Loved this dish. Perfectly cooked, came out piping out, sauce was great. This is what fish should always taste like. Glad I picked this to try. -Blueberry Sundae: Nice way to end the meal, decent dessert, not something I'd dream of or come back for. I did come back as a walk in during lunch on a different day and got the Tavern Burger that everyone raves about. Honestly don't understand the hype about it. It was not a bad burger - but for the price, I was expecting the best burger or one of the top burgers I've ever tasted. Instead, it lacked flavor. The best thing on that burger plate was the chips. Overall, solid choices on the menu. And walk-ins are possible! read more

This one may take a minute But it's worth it If I get any names wrong, please forgive me . You are all rock stars in my book . So we went for dinner here . I had never been but it came highly recommended . I made a reservation for dinner in the dining room but there is a more low key tavern adjacent . The dining room had a 5 course menu . This is for serious foodies and I'm sure it appeals to the right person But we wanted a couple of cheeseburgers and some apps . Our waiter Mike W , patiently explained the menu. He could not have been nice and more informative . He was doubly nice because we asked to be moved to the tavern and without batting an eye went to the manager who granted our wish . Then she took the time to get a tray and moved our drinks for us . There were two managers who went above and beyond , Kristen and Samantha . Checking on us , just hands on in every way. Nicole was our server and she was engaging , funny , knowledgeable ,and attentive. The food ?? Roasted oysters with breadcrumbs was a 4 out of 5. The meatballs , perfectly cooked and flavorful . Not too soft or too dense . The cheeseburgers were burger heaven with a sesame seed bun that could be the best part of the burger . Would have liked a bigger pickle to do justice to the burger but why quibble ? And the home made potato chips ? Just terrific . We ordered a chocolate pudding cake that had ice cream and was scary good . We had some apple fritters comped to us that were good but on the sweet side . I really hope I got everyone's name right but when we return , if I was mistaken , I'll be glad to make amends . The tavern is a friendly , warm , inviting place . The food is great . The service is great . What more could you ask for ?? I don't often give 5 star reviews In this case if I could go higher I would have . Two thumbs way way up . read more

Really uneven experience. There were some highlights, but overall it did not come together the way I expected. The gnocchi itself was good, but the chicken tasted like it was not fresh, which threw the whole dish off. The lamb was undercooked despite asking for medium, which was frustrating. On the positive side, the fish was very well done and probably the best part of the meal. That said, the lack of consistency across dishes made the experience feel underwhelming, especially given the reputation. I expected a lot more precision. read more

I went here with my friend for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. We made reservations in advance, so we had no problems getting a table. We shared quite a few dishes: - Beef Carpaccio: this was my favorite dish we ordered! It was served with anchovies and a cheese similar to Parmesan, which made it very salty and funky (in a good way!) - Roasted Oysters: this was my friend's favorite. The oysters were served with herb aioli and garlic breadcrumbs. - Chicken Liver Mousse: I loved the strawberry-rhubarb jam that this was served with. It was a combination I would never think of, but it worked very well. The bread was also excellent. - Everything Under the Sun: this was the most intentional salad in the world. I loved that the radishes and carrots were roasted, not raw. - the Tavern Burger: very good, but slightly overcooked for me (came out medium rather than medium-rare). - Chocolate Pudding Cake: so rich, but so good. It was served with fudge, whipped cream, and buckwheat ice cream. I would like to eat this approximately 500 more times. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, and the service was fantastic. Everyone from the hosts to our waitress to the runners was so friendly and accommodating. What a wonderful lunch! read more

I came for their $60 Restaurant Week lunch menu on a Wednesday afternoon. I had a reservation and was seated in their beautiful dining area surrounded by dark wood and a rustic vibe. The ambience is very homey and cozy and the service was also very warm. I ordered the Sweet Corn Lamache, Tilefish with Prawns, and the Chocolate Meringue Tart. We started out with some warm rolls and some red pepper sauce which were absolutely delicious. That red pepper sauce was like a creamy red pepper mayo with olive oil and I couldn't stop eating the bread with it! When asked if I wanted more rolls I said HELL yeah!! The lumache was cooked al dente and I could really taste the sweet corn flavor which was complimented by the nuttiness of the hazelnuts. The sauce was buttery and rich and the portion was honestly super large for an appetizer. The tilefish was quite tender and the prawns were perfectly cooked. The dish was a little salty for my taste but the cook of everything was pretty perfect. When it came to dessert, I was in chocolate heaven! The tart was rich and the ice cream was caramel-y with the tartness of the berries cutting through. Overall this was an amazing restaurant week menu! All the food was very high quality and I was pretty full from my meal. The service was also superb and they even gave a piece of their homemade chocolate bark with the check. I'd definitely recommend this place and I understand why it gets all of the hype as one of NYC's most revered restaurants! read more

As for the food, I thought the chilled cucumber soup was good- I was shocked at how refreshing it was.

We made a reservation for a weekday lunch with for our team. We arrived at our reserved time and were taken to our table within few minutes. The restaurant was so beautiful inside with all the plants, flowers, rustic decor, huge bar, really created a wonderful tavern vibe. We started our meal with soft and fluffy bacon cheddar biscuits. There were 4 of them in the plate. Having only one of those didn't seem enough. For entree I had the Tavern burger. It was made with a thick paddy that had delicious flavor topped with melted cheese. The aioli sauce on the side was so good that it enhanced the taste of the burger. My coworkers loved their pressed chicken and meal ball dishes as well. At the end, we ordered a bunch desserts including lemon cake, passion fruit sundae and chocolate cookie. Sundae was my favorite. It was so delicious, incredible flavor of passion fruit and vanilla ice cream. The cookie was little too sweet for me. But the lemon cake was pure quality. Our server Jasmine was amazing. Did an awesome job throughout the lunch. Rest of the staff were also equally pro, filling water, cleaning plates, folding napkins, they were on top of it all. Everyone was super attentive and fully dedicated to their job. At the end they also brought us a small cake for our office celebration. So kind and thoughtful gesture from them. Overall we had a great team lunch. I was so pleased to see Gramercy delivered above and beyond my expectations. read more

Gramercy Tavern has been top on my list of places to try for a while, especially since it's been a NY establishment for 30 years. On our latest trip to the city, my husband and I made Gramercy Tavern our first foodie stop. We popped in for lunch around 12:30pm on a Friday. I didn't make a reservation, but it wasn't a problem as we were able to get seated right away in the main dining area. I really appreciated the hospitality of the staff members whom we interacted with. The host at the reception area was just the most jovial gentleman, who gave us the warmest welcome to the restaurant. We also had the most amazing server, Erick. He was attentive, friendly, and a great conversationalist. He did not disappoint with the food recs, hence the overall 5-stars. The food was excellent. I ordered the sea bass as my main, which was delicious. The sea bass was moist and flaky. Loved the meatiness of the mushrooms and the umami of the broth. My husband ordered the lunch special consisting of a ham and cheese sandwich with chilled split pea soup. I tried a bit of the sandwich sans ham since I don't eat pork, and I thought that the cheese blend was nice. The split pea soup was delicious, and I was impressed that my husband, who is not a fan of peas, couldn't get enough of the soup. Even the customers made our day. We chatted to guests next to us who have been long time patrons of Gramercy Tavern. They raved about the food, particularly the Tavern burger that the restaurant is famous for. My husband swapped a piece of his ham and cheese sandwich for a piece of their burger. Our eyes both lit up when we tried the burger, which is something we'd both get for next time. read more
