After doing hours of searching for the perfect place to take my mom to dinner for her birthday I finally discovered Gotham. It was exactly what I was looking for; gourmet, seafood, excellent presentation, enormous wine list, beautiful setting. We opted to do the three course option and were not disappointed. The miso black cod and rack of lamb were the hits of the table. The one drawback was the service-while professional and precise, our waitress was not friendly by any stretch of the imagination. She was as rigid and cold as a frozen turkey. Pros: presentation, cute waiters, mini dessert plate Cons: unfriendly service, had to ask for bill

I would have to agree with previous reviews regarding the aloof staff. The food and presentation were extraordinary, but the greeting I received at the door was a step or two just below a sneer. I was with a business group and well dressed, so Im not sure what prompted the response. When reminded of a drink order that had not been received, our waiter felt it necessary to claim that the drink was not ordered and that is why he didnt bring it, not that he had forgotten. With the amount of money that was put down for that meal, I expect EVERYTHING to be outstanding, including the service. So, even though what we were served was beyond perfect, I probably wouldnt return because of staff. Great food is not that hard to find. Pros: Ambience, Food Preparation Cons: Service, Value

My favorite will have to be the seared foie gras & the grilled lamb! The foie gras would transport you with it's flavors and it was simply divine, the grilled lamb was perfectly tasty, not overcooked, and the seasoned herbs were really mouth watering, and I can't wait to return for another occassion! The desserts I loved was the creme brulee of caramel or chocolate dipped with the churros, as well as the delicious strawberry souffle! I loved the presentation, the service, and most importantly the food, we were never rushed, we had the nicest table, and we enjoyed the whole experience! Pros: SERVICE, FOOD, DECOR

My girlfriend and I ate at Gotham bar and grill last night, and our experience was amazing. Everything we ordered was prepared to perfection, and was presented perfectly. The asparagus mushroom risotto, seared tuna, and lobster tail were the best we ever had. Then the desserts came, and they were hands down the best dessert we ever had. The cinnamon rolls melted in our mouths, and the chocolate cheese cake did as well. Our waiter took exceptional care of us and paid proper attention to us. I will sum it up with, it was worth every penny! Pros: Food, Wait staff, Desserts

The newpaper reviews in the window are from 7 yrs ago! The service was helpful, but aloof. The dinner dining had mixed reviews by my party. I ordered the seared tuna- give it a 8.5 out of 10. The organic free range chicken was a 6, the lamb chop was excellent, and we had to send the halibut back 2x with no result- ended up having to order anther dish (cod) in which the fish was good but the clams were too tough to eat and the sausage wasn't even finished cooking (thus could not be consumed). Save your money and eat somewhere else. Pros: coat check, cleanliness Cons: , space

I really cannot believe all of these negative reviews on Gotham! My husband and I are hardcore traveling foodies. I think I have been to all of the restaurants in NY ranked 20 or above on Zagats, in addition to as many Michelin-starred restaurants as we can manage on vacations. Without a doubt, Gotham is our favorite restaurant in New York. The food there is always polished, but really tasty. It's a beautiful space. The crowd is not young, but hey, go somewhere else to get a drink afterward. The highlight here is definitely the food. I have loved the seared tuna there. I have had an incredible duck risotto there (with cabbage), sweet shrimp risotto, filet. Gotham is awesome- so much better than Jean Georges (where I found my food inedible), or Union Square Cafe, or so many other hyped restaurants in NY.

I had a wondeful time at Gotham bar and grill. We had their filet mignon and lobster pasta. Both were delicious. However, even though i understand its a service thing, or perhaps we were there when it wasn't too busy, but i felt like i needed some personal space. The waiters were staring at our table the whole time. It is very pricey though, and the portions are small, so you will be hungry! Pros: good food Cons: , pricey, personal space
