We ordered the lunch tasting menu with wine pairing at Gramercy Tavern. What a fantastic value! The amount of food and wine we received for the price (which already included tip) was impressive. The food was wonderfully prepared and presented and the staff were very flexible to accommodate dietary restrictions and make substitutions as necessary. For the price for the wine pairing (about $50 a person for 5 courses) we were expecting lower-end wines, but the wines were the same quality as that used for their much more expensive dinner wine pairings. I would definitely recommend going to Gramercy Tavern for lunch for a memorable meal at a great value.
How Gramercy Tavern earned its reputation for good (or great) food is beyond me, my husband and our two dinner guests. The chefs/cooks appear to have dumped nothing other than salt on all the food. My entrée was so bad that it got sent back. My appetizer (pasta with Bolognese sauce) was drowning in oil; it was disgusting. At the end of the meal our waiter did the right thing; she took the cost of my dinner off the tab. If someone gave me a gift certificate to this restaurant, it would be thrown in the trash.
We had a reservation in the main dining room and decided to try the seasonal tasting menu, opting for one with wine pairings and one without. Each course was diverse, expertly crafted, and absolutely delicious. We particularly enjoyed the thoughtful pacing between courses, which allowed us to savor each dish as well as the restaurant's lovely atmosphere. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and they readily accommodated our special requests. We highly recommend Gramercy Tavern!
The food was superb. The service was first rate and really attentive. The deserts were impeccable. Gramercy Tavern will remain in my fine dining rotation for many, many years to come!!

The food was excellent and the staff was amazing, especially our server Toni who made our experience memorable and added her personal touch of hospitality.
We really liked our starters and desserts, but we weren’t very impressed with the main dish, which was chicken and veal.
I had a fantastic birthday dinner! The food was exceptional, and the service was outstanding!
One of the best there is. Service is impeccable, unobtrusive, and extremely professional.
