Description: Since first opening its doors in 1984, Gotham Bar and Grill has epitomized New York City dining at its finest, serving Executive Chef Alfred Portale's sublime and refreshingly accessible Contemporary American Cuisine in a dining room that is consistently packed with sophisticated diners from all over the country and the world. One of the secrets of Gotham's success is that it is an institution that has never become institutional. The unparalleled quality of the food and service are constants, but the rest of the Gotham experience is constantly updated to keep the restaurant feeling as fresh as the day it opened. New menu items are introduced each season, the wine list is always evolving, and the dining room is regularly revamped. Gotham Bar and Grill has been honored as Most Outstanding Restaurant in the nation by the James Beard Foundation, which named Chef/Owner Alfred Portale Most Outstanding Chef in the nation for 2006.

My family of four were on vacation and made reservations here on a reference from friends, spot on excellent! The service was perfect, ambiance was semi formal but comfortable and the food was fantastic. We ran the gambit from pasta, beef, fish and chicken, all were excellent in flavor and originality. The wine list give you anything you are in... More

OMG. From the moment you walk in, the service is outstanding. The cocktails, the wine, the food! Okay, so most sommeliers are crap, but the woman at GBG knows her stuff. Excellent recommendations on all accounts. Our waiter, his name is Dash, (a true professional in every sense) made our dinner a truly wonderful experience. I've had lunch at GBD... More

Dinner last night was a treat. Lobster bisque was one of the best soups that I've ever had. Seafood salad was delicious. Duck breast and rack of lamb we both excellent mains. Service prompt and attentive. Waitstaff friendly and knowledgable. A very very top notch restaurant. And expensive, but not crazy expensive. Really good value. Really good food. Really nice... More

Restaurants come and go and restaurants change but not Gotham - please not ever Gotham. From the service to the atmosphere to the food, everything was and is always spot on. The steak was incredible, the wine paring was a great match (and not killer on the wallet). Just great.

Although there are a few steaks dishes on the menu, this is not a great NYC steak place. The menu is best described as modern American. The service is good and a bit too quick...almost as if they want you out fast!! Still, the food was good and that is what counts in the end.

Made a reservation a week in advance for 6pm. This was the best time they had available (other times were 10pm and later). They called to confirm 2 days early, and asked if we had show tickets that night so they could better plan how to serve us. We didn't as we had gone the night before. When we arrived... More

It is such a pleasure to go to a high end NYC restaurant where the chef is actually in the kitchen keeping an eye on things. I think Gotham is the most consistently excellent restaurant in the city and they have never failed me on any course, ever. The luncheon is the best food deal in town and thank goodness... More

We arrived about 10 minutes early for our reservation, and was given the option of waiting at the bar or being seated early; we opted to be seated early. It was the best Cosmopolitan cocktail I think I've ever had, and my husband's wine was wonderful as well. The meal was outstanding. We were not rushed, and every dish was... More
