Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Gramercy Park

Food, wine and service experience was off the charts. Creative, precise and excellent dishes. One of the best meals I’ve ever had.

The ambience is really nice. The guy filling up my water was very attentive, however the waitress (Olivia?) seemed annoyed with my presence, not helpful or friendly. She might’ve just been having a bad night. I started with the truffle Arancini, I was hoping to love it, but it was a little too salty for me and the mushrooms were very chewy, inedible. My salmon was presented well, unfortunately it was overcooked. It’s a huge portion! Their version of an espresso martini is delicious. 

Such an incredible dining experience for Valentine’s Day last night! The five course tasting menu was delicious. So happy we added on the wine pairing option as well which complemented the tasting menu perfectly! The decor was beautiful from the candles and roses for centerpieces and throughout restaurant, immaculate decor with a great pianist curating such a romantic ambiance. I had such a great time and will definitely return back! 💞

The food at Brass was delicious and the sommelier, Brady, was fabulous. We especially enjoyed the Couronne De Gougeres, the Ricotta Gnudi, and the Pork Shoulder a la Moutarde. Brady, the sommelier, really added to the evening. He timed the pours so that we finished the bottle with the meal. At the end of the evening he gave us a delicious amaro-based digestif.

Superb food, presentation and service in such a modern luxe setting! Delicious in every way!
