First time being here and i have to say its great spot. I believe you have to make a reservation. My friend made one and glad she did. My friend never been here as well and we both decided to come for my bday. Best decision ever. I had the short rib and it was tender and mash potatoes was delicious. I would recommend this place. My friend had the ribeye and salad. Both dish amazing. The service was fantastic. Our server did an amazing job. She was on point. The place got packed for a Thursday night. The music was chill. I will most definitely come back again to try something else. If you have a birthday come here. You will see why. Its a great experience. read more

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. read more

Alley (server) is great, but we went there 2x's for the $34.95 special - that menu needs to get better, there really wasn't much to choose from. I had the mushroom risotto both times & disappointed there's no protein in that entree. My husband had the short ribs entree & it was very good. I would say atmosphere & service good but that menu needs help! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great little venue. Had a girls night for a friend's birthday. Atmosphere was nice. Mindy our server was fun and knowledgeable. Playlist was great. We had the bacon bites, Brussels sprouts & coconut shrimp for appetizers. We were served the cauliflower app by mistake, but that was quickly rectified. I had the barruta salad. Yummy with roasted beets and pickled onions. All entrees were a hit. If you're in the Lakeway area I recommend stopping in for dinner. read more

The older I get, the less inclined I am to go downtown for date nights. If this sounds relatable, you must check out The Gramercy in Lakeway. Swanky interiors, delicious cocktails, yummy bites, easy parking AND just minutes away from an HEB? This place has it all for the suburban party animal. Drinks are definitely the highlight here. Husband's favorite is the Boulevardier and mine is the Corpse Reviver BUT be warned, it is strong AF. Food is on the rich and heavier side, and a tad pricey (e.g., coconut shrimp was $18 for 5 pieces). Service is consistently great, and totally evident in the banter between staff and guests at the bar. They definitely have many regulars coming back over and over again. Cheers! read more

The service was great. We only had appetizers, but we tried them all,all of them they tasted great everything on the menu for appetizers was good. All the other plates look good. The drinks were great. And the drinks are had a good price. I would highly recommend this place. read more

This spot is so consistently good, and has become an almost-weekly go-to. Slept on it for a wit because we thought it was just a bar, but the food here is just *so* good. I mostly go with the chef's rotating special, but have truly enjoyed everything I've tried here. The kids' chicken tenders might be the best-kept secret in town (for adults it's part of the chicken & waffles during Sunday brunch). read more

Holy cow the food here was unbelievable. You gotta try the Cajun pasta. The favorite was the baked potato soup, the steak flatbread, chicken kebab, and the drinks. Get your butt here!! It's amazing. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Consistently giving unique takes on traditional American fair. Service is always good.

I love this restaurant for the ambiance alone! This is the perfect place for appetizers and drinks with friends or coworkers. The lounge areas are classy, comfortable with just enough on the menu to satisfy most clientele. Classic Hollywood Movies play throughout the well-appointed bar and dining area. Highly recommend to kickstart any evening itinerary. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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+ read more

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! read more

This is one of my favorite hidden gems! We are regulars to this restaurant. The owners and servers are very friendly! The ambiance is casual, chill, date night vibes. The decor is unique and I love it. I wish they could open another location near Austin/Domain area. Food: I love their apps: Buffalo and BBQ Wings, Pork Belly Bites, and Waffle Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Chicken. The entrees are great as well. I usually go for the Gramercy Burger or the Works Salad. I tried the braised Rib one time but it was too salty for me that particular day. Drinks: Their cocktail menu is fantastic too. The Lakeside is my favorite cocktail! If you love tequila and coconut you should try it! (1 will have you good for the night...but you know 2 won't hurt). Brunch: We were invited to the soft opening for their new Brunch menu. The brunch and drink menu had great choices to choose from. If you like mimosas these are fantastic! You have to order and receive your food first before getting your beverage. Food- I chose the Steak Benedict (medium well) and a side of pancakes. The pancakes were fluffy and pretty good. The Steak Benedict was not as flavorful as I thought and didn't come out to the temperature I requested but our waitress, Katie, came to the rescue. I was able to change it the the G Burger. The G burger is great and very flavorful. The Gramercy will not let you down! Definitely 5 starts worthy. read more

This place was amazing. The decor was more than what we were expecting, so sultry. We came here for my birthday back in November. It was surprisingly good. It tasted like good home cooked food. We can't wait to go back. For the appetizer we had the Waffled Grilled Cheese. It was really good, we loved the tomato dipping sauce. I think our add ons were bacon and chicken. For our drinks we had a Moscow Mule, a Daiquiri, and a Paloma. All were really tasty. The gravy/sauce on the Chicken-Fried Chicken was so tasteful. The chicken had the perfect crunch. The Brick Chicken was so delightful and the Rosemary had me reminiscing about my childhood, lol. In addition to the potatoes, it was just so comforting and it hit the spot. Seriously, give this place a try. The drive /traffic is worth it. read more

Fantastic spot that definitely stands out. I can't say there is much like it in the shopping center, let alone all of Lakeway, but I can't complain. It brings back the New York vibes. Once you walk in, you instantly feel transported back to the coast. Even with the massive inside/outside seating, they still keep the ambiance throughout. We came here after work the first time and sat at the bar height table at the edge of the patio. It was perfect since you didn't get too much sun but still get plenty of fresh air. We ordered the wings, cauliflower, pork bites and burger. Every dish was fantastic and had plenty of food to leave feeling satisfied. They also put a lot of effort into their cocktails and mocktails (some a bit too crazy for me though). Overall, this place is great and a wonderful addition to the Lakeway dinner scene. They also have a pretty good happy hour if you are in the area. Heads up, at night, this place gets packed and extremely loud, so I don't recommend coming here with a big group if you all want to talk together. read more

Location and atmosphere are great. Good vibe inside the restaurant. Service was just right - greeted with a friendly host, server was on point, checked back on us often but not too much. Food was just OK. Wings were cold and the Shrimp & Grits, C-. Small shrimp were just sauteed, not really seasoned. Seemed more like shrimp from a frozen bag. The best Shrimp & Grits comes with Shrimp prawns, generously seasoned, maybe grilled (IMO). A few small tweaks to the menu and this place would be REALLY great. read more

Unfortunately, we will probably not be frequenting anymore. Drinks and service are great, but the food is not. The charcuterie board we got came with 4 tiny pieces of toast (one slice of toast cut into 4 pieces. No crackers either!) When we asked for more toast they charged us $2.50 for a piece of toast cut into 4 pieces. There wasn't much on the charcuterie board either. For $23 we expected a more significant charcuterie board. The fish and chips special was delicious, but $18. Pork belly is 4 small pieces for $11. Just can't justify eating here. Maybe just come for cocktails. Doubt we will be coming here anymore. read more

This is a great location. The staff is very friendly. I love the food and drinks. I love this restaurant.

Wonderful addition to Lakeway. The first thing you get is the stunning decor, which is a modern Art Deco. Really outstanding. Geamercy follows the 1920s style with classic B&W films on the large TVs and the music. Although the music was a bit tyring after some time. Their service is outstanding. The menu is short but has very good options. Of course there was a broad selection of cocktails, beer, and wine. We had the chicken , NY Strip steak, and burger. Not bad but not outstanding. You probably won't come here for the food, but if you are looking for a unique bar with great ambiance, this is one of the top five spots in Austin. read more

This place feels like it could be really awesome if it tried. It wants to be a a great place with the ambiance and theme but the subpar food and limited menu seems to struggle to pull off a truly memorable experience. One thing that stood out to me as a retired bartender, the bar staff were not interested in saying hello, taking an drink/dinner order, or even giving the time of the day to make a guest feel welcomed. Not a good look for a place that could really be great! read more

Nice little lounge to kick back and have some drinks and appetizers with your friends or family. All the drinks came out looking great so hats off to the bartender. HOWEVER...y'all need to wash your glasses a little better cause my glass was smelling kinda fishy and I had to ask for another glass to transfer my drink. The pork belly appetizer was really good, highly recommend those. Comes out with 4 pieces on a plate. Here's where the night took a turn...for the worse. My entree was wah wah...ordered the NY strip steak, medium rare and it came with house steak sauce, brocollini and risotto. They tried to smother the steak in the steak sauce to cover up the fact that they didnt know how to a cook steak to save their lives. That NY strip had zero sear, and the fat cap was not even rendered. If i'm being honest it looked like it was cooked in the microwave or oven and didnt even hit a hot pan. Also, if you're going to mask a bad steak with sauce...at least let it be a good sauce. It was just salty and had no depth of flavor. The only saving grace was the risotto, which was really nice actually and the brocollini was cooked well. If i only rated on this dish, easily 1-2 stars. Please DO NOT order the any steak entrees here, for your sake. The drinks and pork belly appetizer saved y'all. Do better. read more

What a great addition to Lakeway! The Gramercy is a very cozy little restaurant in The Oaks shopping center (in the spot formerly occupied by McArthur's, across from Vivelle Crepes and the new La Quinta Hotel). The ambience is perfect for a date night or a nice night out with friends. There's a full bar and also some covered outdoor seating with heat lamps. The restaurant is not very big so if you go on a Friday or Saturday night at prime time there might be a slight wait for a table. We were a group of six. The guys all ordered the steak frites. The steak was very high quality and cooked perfectly. My husband is very picky about steaks and he gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. The fries were nice and crispy, tasted like they were made in house from actual potatoes. The guys were all very happy with their meals. Someone ordered the green salad which was enormous. Another person ordered the crispy cauliflower appetizer which was also huge. The cauliflower was batter-dipped and deep fried, so if you're looking for a low calorie veggie option, this is not it. I got the the brick chicken (two large thighs). It was delicious. I ate one and took the other one home. If you are a fan of dark meat, this is the dish for you. I would definitely order it again. The service was perfect. We were impressed with how smoothly everything went, given that the restaurant had only been open for a few weeks at the time we were there. The drinks came out first, then the appetizer and salad and then all the entrees. The meal was well paced and the servers were there with drink refills and checked on us frequently. The owner even came over to introduce himself and make sure we were happy. We are very glad to have this new spot in town and we will all be back again soon! read more

The 2 stars here are for both service and the Brussel sprouts which were actually quite tasty. The good of this place is that the servers were friendly, the food was out promptly, and the appetizer was quite tasty. But unfortunately it stops there. The food was all cooked well (tender meat, fall apart short rib, etc.), but it was remarkably underseasoned across the board. It was so bland that it seemed like that they'd just forgotten to salt it. Maybe it was just a one off but ALL of our dishes were like this. We had their strawberry dessert which was fine, but too boozy imo. The cake also gets soggy very fast. It did a better job making me crave a Panna cotta that it did actually satisfying me honestly Normally I'd give this experience 3 stars but it was decently pricey and I'd expect better read more

This place is wonderful and has the winning combination of beautiful atmosphere with quality drinks and delicious food. I was impressed from beginning to end. As soon as we walked in, we felt the good vibes from the upscale decor to the friendly hostess. I tried 3 different cocktails and loved every single one of them - Raspberry Beret, Mountain Flower and Lakeside, each one crafted to perfection. Now let's talk about the real standout here which is the food. This is not your typical bar food. Everything we tried was delicious. Pork belly sliders were so tender and flavorful, NY strip perfectly prepared and the Shrimp and Grits were awesome. Also recommend trying the Cauliflower appetizer and the dessert was a nice light ending to the fabulous meal. Plus the service was top notch, our waitress was attentive and available without being overbearing. And even through the mask, I could sense her smiling and pleasant demeanor. We were honored to meet the owners that came to our table and introduced themselves. It all made sense when they told us they are originally from NY, this place has the look, feel and quality of a NYC lounge. I am so happy to have The Gramercy in Lakeway. Thank you for opening up this amazing new spot. read more

Came here on a Sunday Brunch expecting this place to be packed with all the good things I've heard. Wrong. Saw our server 3 times. My wife and I only had 1 drink each. Not because we didn't want more but because we NEVER saw our server again until the food came. Waters stayed empty through the entire visit. I got up twice to go the bar to ask for ketchup and tobacco and the second time to get the check. All in front of the manager/possibly the owner? Not sure but very dissapointed. read more

Service was fabulous and very attentive. Cocktails are consistently delicious! Highly recommend the Lakeside, and then requesting the (off menu) cucumber press!! YUMM. The food - well, sadly, it wasn't AS good as my first and second time there. My salmon was just ok - it was over cooked and fairly dry. We also had to send back the squid appetizer, it just was awful - very tough and very salty. That said, I definitely will go back and support this local business. Perhaps it was an off night for the cooks. read more

The Gramercy - Outside dinning - Lounges Near Me - Lakeway, Texas

First time in last night - sat on the patio by our request (was cold out) and the hostess and busboy were great as they worked to get a patio heater working for us (quickly swapping the propane tank). I have the same heater at home and the regulator can be a little temperamental - but mentioned to my wife that I so appreciated two employees who were just courteous, friendly, apologetic (no need to be), and professional vs walking away from a problem that had nothing to do with them. We got it working in a few minutes and it was pleasantly toasty even in the high 30's on the patio bundled up. Billy-Joe was serving us and introduced himself as the owner. Really nice guy. Mentioned they recently changed chef's (maybe addressing some of the earlier reviews?) and that a few of the off-menu specials were new for last night including the pork belly bites. He asked for honest feedback (also something I appreciate and value!) and my feedback was - after eating a lot of various pork belly appetizers that these were perfect (as were the papas bravas - super cripsy outsides, fluffy insides, and the dipping sauce on point). My wife and I each got a bowl of Tortilla soup - another special which was delicious - tortilla strips still crunchy, great seasoning, fresh avocado slices and tasty vegetables and chicken. Damn good. Shared the short rib and my only note there was despite being a big tapenade fan I didn't think this went well on the dish - but it's on the side. Eat it or don't. The short rib itself was falling off the bone as it should be, the piped whipped potatoes were good. Each had one of their cocktails from a great list and a glass of Rioja. Both great. Cooking is my hobby/passion (my wife points out I am usually.. overly critical). We recently moved from South Orange County CA where we had a number of close-by staple restaurants with a similar vibe that were always on point. Not sure where to go on a Fri? We'd head to one and never be disappointed. We hadn't found any place like this since moving near Bee Cave that's only 5-10 minutes away. If the Gramercy continues to find a groove like the one we experienced last night I look forward to many more meals in a fun environment with staff who opened a restaurant in the middle of a pandemic, have already made a chef change, and are just grinding to do a good job. None of that is easy. I don't have anything but good things to say! Best of luck to you all and look forward to seeing you again soon. read more

Big fan of this gem in Lakeway. The staff is fantastic! The food is delicious and well plated. They have a excellent selection of cocktails and a upscale look with a laid back vibe. The interior is well decorated and inviting and becomes an oasis of being in NYC in the 1920's right in the heart of a strip center in Lakeway. Bravo to this family owned and operated spot! Please join me in supporting them! read more

Wow! This place is more like an experience than anything else! Very chic... they play music but have various screens displayed throughout their establishment. Here's the kicker: they show old movies, not sports !! My way of thinking is that this is meant to focus on the person in front of you as opposed to how your favorite sports team fared that day. Smart move! The bartenders take pride in the drinks they make and it shows. They demonstrate the perfect balance in making their drinks quickly and still being very personable with their guests! Definitely worth the trip when you head out to the Lakeway area! read more
