Good but not extraordinary
Monday, November 10, 2003
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
