After being almost FORCED into a dress code that this restaurant DOESN'T HAVE (except to look as old-school and stiff as possible), I sat down for what was one of the most UNINSPRIRING meals possible. In this, a city of multi-ethnic multi-everything, I haven't seen a menu this boring since staring blankly at the TV guide preview channel. The place was packed with tables of boring people trying to prove SOMEthing (what and to whom, I'm not sure), as was THE BAR, of all things. The only thing worth going there for is to remind yourself that people who voted for Guiliani still DO exist, and apparently, this is the place for them! Pros: good if you're 40+ Cons: CountryClubAfterParty

Why do I love Gotham Bar & Grill? Because this restaurant is excellent EVERY time I go. They consistently serve top-notch food and the service is always fantastic. Last night was no exception; the tomato salad with arugula was the best appetizer I've had in awhile and my lobster was cooked to perfection. The chocolate carmel cake was amazing! I hope Gotham Bar & Grill stays open for a long, long time because I will always go back. Pros: nice decor, high ceilings, awesome desserts

Wonderful food in a mundane setting, definitely geared towards an older crowd. My BF and I are in our 20s and I came dressed in black lace for a night out after dinner - we stood out like sore thumbs among the baby boomers escorting wives/mistresses to a "swanky" dinner. The setting was stuffy for a young couple looking for a romantic spot - the wine steward was amazed when we showed a basic knowledge of grapes, and the couple next to us were in their 80s (they informed us of this proudly) and on their 2nd date. But the food is wonderful. Pros: food Cons: atmosphere, older crowd, drab

150 words is not enough to express our view on this restaurant. To sum it up, the service, food, staff and decor were incredible. The food was the best I have tasted in a long while. I would highly recommend all my friends to experience the Gotham Bar and Grill for themselves. We will return on our next trip to New York City. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

I treated my boyfriend to dinner here. I loved the ambience and the service was great. The employees were very warm and pleasant and made us feel at home. The food was good, but seemed mismatched. Meaning, I ordered Lobster Tails as an entree (The Tails were delicious) and along with my Tails came Spinach with beans and fried potatoes that were close to potato steak fries. I can get steak fries at the average steakhouse. So, unfortunately I only can give the food an 8. Maybe the Tails would be better as a First Course. Pros: Delicate Decor, Pleasant Employees, Attentive Servers Cons: Mismatched Entrees

The decor is lovely, the service is warm&attentive and the food is divine. I have never had so near perfect a restaurant experience and I have been to many of the city's best. My husband and I shared an appetizer and they split it for us without even us requesting it. Doing that showed real class! All the dishes were a feast for the eyes and palate. The serving staff was superb; our server was perfectly nice without being our buddy, always responsive and cordial without being snooty. The wine list had mostly expensive wines, but one does come here to treat oneself, right? We'll certainly be back! Pros: service is balanced, presentation of food, generosity Cons: expensive wine list, food a bit salty
