What People Are Saying About Gramercy Tavern

Citysearch
With its famed wood-burning stove and enough fresh flowers to stock a botanic garden, this enduring favorite feels more Napa than Flatiron. The colorful murals and open layout of the front "Tavern" room attracts young execs and stylish tourists, who fill the space with garrulous buzz, while the more opulent dining area lures an older crowd with hacienda-style archways and iron chandeliers. Chef Michael Anthony (Blue Hill) has taken over the kitchen, although his seasonally driven New American fare doesn't veer much from founding chef Tom Colicchio's greenmarket blueprint. Ingredients like ramps, spring garlic and sunchoke lend cache to hit-and-miss dishes such as flaky sturgeon in a lemon-fennel sauce, stringy smoked lobster in a celery root puree, and the menu's crown jewel: a tender smoked trout appetizer dotted with tiny, pickled cipollini onions.

We ate in the more casual dining room and found it to be a really pleasant space to eat. The bar is also located in the same space so it added some liveliness to the place. The more formal dining area is exquisitely decorated but seemed a little too dry for me. Tried the pork loin special. Beautifully cooked and moist. A really nice place to try. Lives up to its reputation. Prices are a little higher than I would have liked, but is a nice place to treat yourself or someone special.

The reservation experience is quite hostile, especially when a woman calls to re confirm and sounds like she is scolding. Our mojitos were mostly ice what is called steak and pork has a lot of fat. Not a good pastry chef. We were so disappointed and it cost so much money! From now on I am cooking.
