Gramercy Tavern

"The Deal: $60 Lunch, $60 Sunday Lunch/Brunch Gramercy Tavern feels like a lodge in Aspen where you’d eat with someone who’s trying to figure out how much money they should leave you in their will. It’s dated in a charming sort of way, and it’s a New York City classic. If you want to have a fancy New American meal in the main dining room without spending over $100, now’s your chance." - bryan kim

"There are two different ways to experience Gramercy Tavern. In the back, there’s the upscale dining room, where you can book a table and eat a tasting menu for $168. If you want a special-occasion spot that feels less like a museum and more like someone’s very nice home in Aspen, that’s where you should sit. But we prefer the more casual tavern area up front where you can eat some excellent brick chicken or a top-notch burger. If you need a last-minute spot to impress some people, stop by and get a few seats at the bar." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren

"While Union Square Cafe is technically Danny Meyer’s oldest establishment, Gramercy Tavern — opened in 1994 — is an essential part of his sizable empire. Chef Michael Anthony offers a tasting menu at dinner in the more formal dining room that’s elegant, where the white-tablecloth space feels very special occasion-worthy. The menu evolves seasonally, but light, elegant seafood and vegetable-based dishes are the main attraction. There’s also the more casual tavern space up front with an a la carte menu available at lunch and dinner." - Eater Staff

"A mainstay in Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, Gramercy Tavern still hits high marks for next-level, no-tipping service along with impeccably sourced and crafted American dishes courtesy of chef Michael Anthony. A $129 three-course menu is offered in the back dining room, while the more approachable but still elegant tavern with its long, gleaming bar offers items à la carte." - Paul Schrodt
