This Sat, 5/15 we visited there with my wife and best friend to have a dinner, service was OK but very disappointed with the payment that they charged my AMEX twice: attached please refer the receipt. Hopefully they can fix it ASAP with the manager. I never come back to place because of the manager's poor attitude.
As a European visiting this French inspired restaurant I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I know that everything has to move fast in Manhattan but sometimes its better to take things slow, especially for a restaurant that wants to be of a higher standard. The starters were brought out a little to fast after the appetizer but so far no comment. What got me a bit annoyed is that right after the starters i wanted to digest a bit and enjoy my glass of wine but about 5 to 10min later i got served with my main course. Way to fast to even enjoy the whole food experience! The staff tried their very best to pamper you and have a great experience. The only thing they can do better is the timing of the courses. I spend around 500 USD. This included : 2 cocktails each, 1 appetizer, 2 starters, 2 main courses, 1 bottle of white wine and 1 dessert and of course a nice tip. So overal I like Gotham Restaurant, I would dine here again, but next time I'll tell them we are not in a rush. Thank you Gotham Restaurant for the nice evening!
Gotham continues to be one of my NYC faves over the last many years. Fabulous service. Impeccable presentation. Good variety. Beautiful room. We enjoyed the tuna tartare, foie gras (I felt guilty but it was otherworldly), cavatelli, the duck, the scallops and the lobster risotto. Everything was wonderful.
I had not been here in many years since Alfred Portale ran things, but the food is still excellent.
One complaint is the wine list, it is small and very inaccessible. It's fine to have many $500 plus bottles, but silly to have so few in the $100 and below range.
To their credit the "cheapo" $80 Cotes du Rhone we had was nice.
