Gotham Bar & Grill

The story of Gotham Bar and Grill is one of seeming contradictions that, to the delight of discerning diners, make surprisingly ideal sense: Sophisticated cuisine with mass appeal; knowledgeable service that is never stuffy or pretentious, and a persistent creativity, energy, and popularity that make Gotham feel like each season's hottest new opening, even though it's been at the forefront of New York's dining scene for a quarter of a century. Of course the cornerstone of any restaurant is the food, and Chef Alfred Portale's cuisine has lured diners to Gotham for twenty-five years, and influenced the culinary.
