Gramercy Tavern Ranked Among America's Top 100 Restaurants

GRAMERCY, NY — The Gramercy Tavern is well-known locally, but the decades-old establishment recently gained recognition on a national level when it was named one of the "100 Best Restaurants in America for 2016" by OpenTable.com.

The contemporary American restaurant, which just switched to a no-tipping policy, was among restaurants that OpenTable.com says are "consistently putting out delicious dishes, providing impeccable service, and paying attention to every detail to orchestrate one-of-a-kind dining experiences time and again."

The restaurant enjoys a 4.8 rating out of 5 stars on OpenTable.com, reflecting the restaurant's strong reputation among its patrons.

The list of restaurants was created based on an analysis of more than 10,000,000 reviews of more than 24,000 restaurants across the company, according to OpenTable.com. The reviewers are "verified diners," boosting the authenticity of the scores attached to each establishment listed.

The restaurant, located at 42 E. 20th St., offers two different dining options — The Tavern and the Dining room — and is spearheaded by Chef Michael Anthony. It was opened in 1994 by Danny Meyer and is included under the umbrella of Union Square Hospitality Group.
