"It's rare to find a gastronomic place where everything is just right: the atmosphere, the correct and friendly service, the music (and its sound level , the cleanliness of the venue and of the restrooms, and of course the quality of the cooking. In Gotham Restaurant we found it! This restaurant had it all during our visit. Without any doubt we will be back. We were amazed that this restaurant has not been awarded yet with a Michelin star. We had a the most amazing three course lunch menu here. Starter: butternut squash soup. Arguably the best butternut soup we have ever tasted! Packed with flavor with some tanginess from lemon and interesting combinations of textures such as crispy sage, pumpkin seeds and little dices of pumpkin. Main: We had a papardelle pasta with mushrooms and marsala sauce. The deepness and richness of the marsala sauce was impressive to say the least. Pasta was cooked to perfection. Other main course we had was braised chicken breast with mixed vegetables. The chicken was crispy on the outside whilst tender and moist on the inside. No faults here. and again cooked perfectly. Mixed vegetables still had a little bite and were clearly super fresh. Desert: served us a crème brûlée (wobbly and perfect thin caramelized sugar layer and a flourless chocolate cake: velvety soft. Both stunningly prepared classics. Cleary the chef knows his pastry. Is there anything to improve here? Well that depends on the level that you can indulge yourself with this kind of high quality food. We felt the portions were a bit too generous for us. Then again: can there be great hospitality without generosity? So no complaints here : Compliments to the patron, the chef and the black and white brigade for giving us this splendid experience."

"This review hopefully reaches the owner. Please do everyone a favor and take a further look and review your employees performance, especially Natalie. At a restaurant that charges at least 20+ per plate, an experience that I hope many individuals do not have to go through where you are greeted by people with terrible customer service like Natalie who says, Have you checked the menu and prices? Her tone and demeanor in asking the question to imply that we cannot afford the pricing, and for her to immediately judge us was nothing but rude and discriminating. We will never be back to this business because of people like Natalie. This establishment is terrible because of employees like Natalie. For an owner to allow hostesses who treat and greet customers based on what they perceive is correct (even while they actually spent more than most) with such a unwelcoming feeling is just so disappointing. It makes us feel terrible even while we are the ones spending at a restaurant leaving with such a bad experience, money was wasted. Hopefully everyone will know of your business and how unwelcoming it is and just how it truly operates. Hopefully you will not overlook the fact that hostesses like this will ruin your business and everything you worked for. It is very sad and if you care enough for your business, you will reconsider using this really rude woman to GREET your guests acting snobbish. Natalie, you ruin the experience and you ruin the business. Such a terrible experience and we will continue to let everyone know this restaurant is ruined because of people like you..."
