Inside

This bar/restaurant is very elegant and has some old school vibes like The Gatsby. We were greeted and seated right away. It was busy for a school night as it looks like a nice place. Our waiter was very attentive and took care of us. We ordered the pork belly as an appetizer. It was okay as it tastes very good but was a little chewy. We got some drinks and I enjoyed their penicillin and Lakeside cocktails. Their fish sandwich is very good as well.

What a great spot! Rachel and I came here after an event and we were both pleasantly surprised. Tucked away in a little plaza out in Lakeway, this restaurants has a great ambiance and amazing food! When we showed up, I was immediately impressed with the decor. It was low lighting, and very aesthetic. The waiter said it's meant to have a downtown feel without actually being downtown, which was exactly the vibe I felt. I ordered the burger, which was DELICIOUS, it was cooked perfectly and had a yummy onion aioli that gave it a very nice flavor. Rachel got the veggie flatbread and a side salad (with a generous portion for a side). Overall, the food was absolutely great and the atmosphere was perfect. They also had some great music playing. Excited to come back!

Gramercy Burger

This was my first time visiting The Gramercy since we recently moved to Lakeway. It's been on our radar 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.

Burrata Salad
Lisa R.

We've been here off and on since they opened and I think it's time for a review. We like this place but there's still a few things to polish to get 5 stars from me. Tonight we started with the coconut shrimp, which had the right amount of breading and was crispy and tender, not chewy. The sauce was a bit sweeter than I like but still good. The Burrata could use a pinch of salt and the sweet potato purée seemed out of place, but all in all I'd order again just ask them to leave it off. Hubby liked the side salad, though he left a lot of tomatoes behind. The star was the braised short rib. (Which we shared) It was "fall off the bone" tender and beautifully seasoned. Way too much mashed potato, but the right amount of carrots and olive gremolata. The only real disappointment was the Daiqueri. IMHO, a Daiqueri is a combo of white rum and Agricole rhum. Theirs is white only (and not a good white rum) so it lacked depth and interest. I had 2 - one using Havanna and one using Cruzan. Neither was worth ordering again. There are better inexpensive rims out there! (Flora de Cana for example). Just sayin'! On the upside, they wait staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. They also have a nice outdoor patio that is dog friendly, with heaters and fans! They are close to us, and continue to evolve in a positive direction. You should give them a try!

Flatbread

We really enjoyed our visit in this place we were looking for a nice place close to our resort and I'm glad we ended up here. Our server (Eric) was very attentive and had knowledge about our wine selections and our food. The food was 10/10. The vibe was interesting all the design in the wall very artsy we enjoyed it. It's a great place to catch up with friends and have a drink.

Waffle grilled cheese with marinara
Justin S.

My wife and I made reservations at Gramercy for a date night and had a great experience. The ambiance was really cool and eclectic, the restaurant was busy, our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the brussel sprout salad, which we absolutely loved. The flavor was outstanding and they finished it off with shaved parmesan cheese. The main dishes, we had the classic burger w bacon and the waffle grilled cheese w marinara sauce. The marinara sauce was actually not our favorite. We thought they definitely could do a better job on a dipping sauce. Overall, our experience was great!

Shrimp and Grits
Paul S.

Wow a great spot. We swung by for one of the craft cocktails (old fashioned) and ended up staying for dinner after watching the incredible dishes come by. The shrimp and grits was the best I have ever had. Probably because the shrimp could not have been more perfectly prepared. The short rib was packed with incredible flavor. Give this place a shot if you are in the area. Drinks or food you simply cannot go wrong.

Decor/vibe - 5 - Beautiful decor! Loved that. Drinks - 5 - well presented although the sides were dripping with the drink. Flavors are fun, unique, and fresh. Amaretto sour was super! Food - 3 - lots of apps are fried/unhealthy. Also if you're a vegetarian this place has not even one entree you can eat unless you eat fish/pescatarian. Forget eating here if you're vegan. There are some salads, it's just sad that if you're hungry you will only chew on some lettuce. Tried the cauliflower - its deep fried and basically tastes like donut holes. Tried the Brussels sprouts - but it has bacon and it's Brussel shavings but also super fried/oily/charred. I'd come back here with friends for drinks. Plenty of room for groups both indoor and outdoor. Try making reservations a week ahead. Plenty of parking too!

Excellant, major change! I love the new look with book shelves with interesting decor. I can't imagine how this hard step of changing a bar this much in a short amount of time. Actually I am spending more time here. The bar booms after 9 pm. That's where fun party people emerge. Great for singles and couples, very impressed how the party music been selected it's perfect! I will be coming regularly great bartenders and the attentive waitresses. You can't go wrong you will have a blast. Food is tasty and succulent, I highly recommend the steak and appetizers, burgers as well. Stays open till 1 AM. All positive energy here and regulars tell me how happy customers are, I cant tell you enough positive changes. Take a plunge and check it out. Mingle with a fun crowd and stays busy at night. Highly recommend this location parking easy, no problems. Owner manger gets AAAA+

Passion Fruit Mimosa (left)- I took a sip lol Original (right)
Eric H.

I've been coming here for at least 2 years now. I stumbled upon this place when I moved to the area and it's absolutely amazing. The vibe, people/service, drinks and food are great. My favorite appetizers are the chicken wings (Buffalo & BBQ) with their homemade ranch, Pork Belly Bites & the waffle grilled cheese(add the chicken & bacon). My favorite drink is the smoked old fashioned, they have so many options to choose from and you can't really go wrong if you like the ingredients, my girlfriend enjoys the lakeside! Some key Entrées we enjoy are Shrimp and Grits, Gramercy Burger, Works Salad & Crispy Salmon! Starting April 30, 2023 they will be open on Sundays for Brunch!! We were invited to the soft opening brunch and I must say what I had didn't disappoint at all!! You have to wait until you get your food in order to get your drink just due to the local laws. We ordered 2 mimosas one passion fruit and one original they were so well made! For food, I had the Gramlette (Gramercy Omelette) and it was really good and flavorful! It came with some nice southwest breakfast potatoes and a mixed greens salad with Balsamic vinaigrette. I also ordered the French Toast and it's not your traditional it was an actual French baguette with bananas, salted Carmel sauce and powdered sugar, and it didn't disappoint at all. I cleaned both of my plates lol. The Gramercy never lets me down, and I've brought so many people here and they always ask to come when their in town!

Unforgettable! About 6 weeks ago, I sent an email to the Speakeasy Cigar Lounge in Lakeway to see…read moreif someone there might help me pull off a cool surprise for my man's birthday. I got the idea that Jason should have his own signature cocktail. I had the perfect name for it and a list of drinks he likes, but I'm no mixologist, so I needed help to pull this off. Sonya McKinney, the manager replied to my request saying she was all in. And boy was she! From her creative expertise, the "Liberty Risk" cocktail was born. Jason is a retired Navy fighter pilot with an ornery streak a mile wide. Whenever the aircraft carrier came into port, the crew was at liberty to enjoy time in town, unless of course, they'd done a mischief and found themselves on liberty risk, and thus restricted to the ship. Jason wasn't completely unfamiliar with liberty risk. "Liberty Risk" became the name of his boat, his most prized possession, making it also the perfect name for his signature cocktail. Sonya didn't just create an awesome cocktail, she hung a professionally made banner above the bar introducing the drink, wrote and laminated the backstory of the drink, and bought a special Navy veteran glass in which to present the drink, complete with real Navy wings that she attached to a golden cocktail skewer to garnish the drink! She also arranged for the musician who was playing that night to lead the whole bar in singing Happy Birthday to him. Thanks to Sonya, the whole experience was unparalleled and it's a special memory Jason and I will always cherish.

We arrived early, mainly to have a bite to eat before the tasting. Not a whole lot of food available, so we shared a couple of sandwiches. Not great, but it hit the spot. They need more food selections! The wine tasting event was first class all the way. A Winebow distributor presentation of wines from Tuscany. Very well presented, the wines presented were very good. The presenter offered extensive knowledge of the area and wineries included in the tasting. The Wine Cellar provided a nice space, somewhat small for the number in attendance. There was a cheese and charcuterie plate on each table. Really nice was the fact that the staff opened and poured the reds about one hour before the class started, giving the bold wines a change to open up a bit before the tasting started. All in all a wonderful evening. The wines presented were all very good. The Wine Cellar has a first-class wine list, comprising some of the "best of the best" from around the world... and at reasonable prices too!
