About
Gramercy Tavern has earned nine James Beard Awards, including Outstanding Restaurant, since opening in 1994. This Danny Meyer restaurant in the Flatiron District serves contemporary American cuisine in a historic landmark building. The interior features murals by Robert Kushner and a design by Bentel & Bentel. While upscale and romantic, the vibe is welcoming to a mixed gay-straight crowd. You can opt for the 5-course prix-fixe dinner or a 3-course lunch. Executive Chef Michael Anthony focuses on seasonal flavors from local farms. Pastry Chef Nancy Olson creates the desserts.
The restaurant has full bar, outdoor seating, and happy hour. Reservations are available and recommended. Late-night dining isn't really a thing here — they close at 10:30 pm daily. The crowd skews sophisticated, and the staff is genuinely friendly. For a local tip, nearby Ippudo offers a very different ramen experience if you're in the mood for something casual afterward.
Located in the Flatiron District, Gramercy Tavern is near Madison Square Park and a short walk from Union Square.

“I love”
This restaurant feels warm and inviting with soft lighting, attractive decor, and a welcoming team. The standout is definitely the food. The roasted young bird was served with seasonal veggies and buttery small potatoes, and it was cooked to absolute perfection.
