Gramercy Tavern

The service was great, but the food did not live up to the hype in my opinion. The ambiance was great though. I didn’t really enjoy my entree, the eggplant. It was sour and the very chewy, hard pieces of skin mixed made me not want to continue eating it. I tried liking it, but I had to get my husband to finish the rest. I had a similar dish recently at a different restaurant which didn’t have a Michelin star and it was so much better. I enjoyed the ramp flatbread. The beef tartare was very flavourful. My husband said he enjoyed the duck fat chips the most though. The passion fruit souffle was okay.

We got in for my friend’s birthday. The ambience is really well curated and iconic. The drinks were fabulous and the service at the bar was great. Everyone was happy with their meals. The vegetarian mushroom dish was a little salty and not very exciting. Understandable since this is more of a meat centric restaurant. Definitely worth a try if you can get a coveted reservation.

Celebrated our anniversary here last night. Food was really good, good portions and really tasty. The staff were really friendly throughout. It’s not a place for a quiet meal, especially in The Tavern where you’re sat close to the bar – but once we adjusted to the noise it have a great atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.
