Gotham Bar and Grill


ROAST SUCKLING PIG
broccoli rabe, sweet onion marmalade and crushed potatoes
apple cider jus


Food: 4.5/5. The quality and level of execution are remarkably high and consistent throughout the whole meal.  It strikes a wonderful balance between high-end cooking and a down-to-earth feel.

Service: 3/4. Occasionally this can be the weakness of the restaurant, especially during lunch hours (where I've been to 3 times), but this dinner service was very good.  

Vibe: 2.5/3. The decor is a bit dated, but the space is grand and open with very high ceiling.  Again, it feels much nicer during dinner, where it has a higher energy level.

Value: 2/3. One has to somehow not worry about the price too much here, although it always offer a very affordable lunch deal.

Total: 12/15
