That place is overpriced for what you get in your plate. If you are hungry don't go there. I don't eat fish and I wanted just pasta. The "PASTA of the DAY" was linguini with lobster sauce and I didn't want that. The waitress said I can't have any substitutions, which was absurd. If you are going to an expensive restaurant the least they can do is work with you. I got the "VEGETARIAN" meal. When the dish came I thought it was a joke. There was 3 baby carrots, a spoon full of spinach, sun dried tomatoes, 3 pieces of eggplant, and 10 string beans, oh and onions. That was it. No Rice,No Pasta NOTHING. I had to go home and eat. Maybe I'm not classy but when I go out to eat that's exactly what I want to do "EAT". I will never go back there again.

The food, waitstaff etc are wondreful. but the greeting at the door is so rude, that it puts a damper on the entire meal. everytime I go to Gothan, I am treated like road kill by the dragons at the door. Steel yourself to an unpleasant entrance to get to the wonders that await. Pros: food, service, ambiance Cons: hostesses, hostesses, hostesses

Gotham has good food that is displayed elegantly (can you say Leaning Tower of Pisa made of lobster?) Our waitress was almost snotty and was sometimes difficult to find. My group felt ignored during certain times of the evening. The restaurant is attractively decorated but totally lacks an atmosphere partly because of the extra bright lighting. I like to have a cool, fun, or romantic atmosphere when I'm paying these kinds of prices. I have spotted a couple of celebrities eating close by though. I would at most only recommend this place for a business dinner rather than a good time with friends or a significant other. Pros: Good Food Cons: Mediocre Service, Lack of Atmosphere

Gotham Grill is widely considered a top-flight restaurant in NYC, and it is for a few reasons. Namely, the space is beautiful, although the tables are set very close to each other and the waitstaff was very attentive. However, we did have to wait about 20 minutes to be seated. I also had high expectations for the food, which weren't quite met. While the tuna tartare appetizer was excellent, the ny steak entree was nothing special. Also, the waiter wrongly described a wine I had inquired about causing the sommelier to have to make a trip to the table to offer an alternate recommendation. However, that bottle of wine was comped. Also, the wine list though extensive, featured too many obscure vintages and in particular not enough Napa wines. Due to time constraints, we were unable to sample dessert. The prices were in line with restaurants of comparable quality. Pros: Nice Space, Attentive Waitstaff Cons: Food wasn't amazing, Crowded tables

Just got back from a super weekend in NYC. Gotham Bar and Grill was one of the highlights of our visit. The first course was absolutely the BEST. The entree was good but not outstanding. Dessert was very perfect. Service was outstanding both in the dining room and at the bar. Definitely will go back again. This is a restaurant not a train station run by the Swiss, plan to make a reservation and be prepared to be flexible (you may have to wait a few minutes for your table when you arrive.) Pros: Wonderful Food, Excellent Staff Cons: Noisy

Food: The rack of lamb was rich and saturated with flavor. The appetizer (pasta of the day) was very tasty, and the Atlantic halibut had a sense of individual style, but was a bit bland. Overall, the food was good. The Gotham Chocolate Cake was superb, a highly recommend for chocoholics. Ambience: The tables offer little intimacy, unless you are seated toward the back of the restaurant. We were seated next to a very loud group of 8, doing business. The Maitre d' asked our neighbors to tone it down four times. And, following dinner, she asked if we would like to relocate for dessert. Wonderful service and amazing food make this place a must try. If you are looking for something romantic, look into alternatives like Bouley or Gramercy Tavern (both excellent choices). Pros: service, dessert, wine selection Cons: loud

The service appears to be snotty, which is really unnecessary. The entree was good, not outstanding and the desert was great. In general its a nice place but it certainly not in the outstanding class. Pros: Inexpensive, prompt delivery Cons: tables too close, cut out the fake airs, menu not flexible

I want to know who they think they are. We had a reservation but they tell us we have to wait for our table anyway. We wait at the bar for 20 minutes. Even the bartender was snotty. Then we finally ask if we will ever be seated. They give us the option of either sitting in the corner of the bar or waiting another 30 minutes! I've been there before, and there food isn't worth waiting for. If I want to be treated that poorly I'll just go to a Jean George restaurant. Cons: Snotty, Snotty, Snotty

It's like with all money making machine resaturants. Gotham attracts that cramped upper-middle class republican crowd that starts being loud after one bottle of wine. You'll get Fidji water out of plastic bottles served to excellent food. Neither attractive nor interesting people. The table next to us was 3 women in their 40's with a hunky escort. Scary. Pros: Food, Wine List, Presentation Cons: Crowd, Lack of Personality, Plastic Water Bottles
