The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. I've already made another reservation to go back!

Completely incongruent atmosphere, service and vibe of the Gravitas restaurant right below. While the tasting menu was slightly different and appealing, the service was horrendous. The bar was covered in used glasses waiting for their turn to be ignored by the fill-in bartender who was coincidentally ignoring the patrons who were also waiting to be ignored.

The rooftop venue is being used as a chair and table storage facility peppered with dead foliage and some burnt out string lights.

The greenhouse is neat.

Quality and taste wise amazing! The lamb could’ve been bigger portions but the chicken schnitzel was ample portions. The drinks were delicious. Would be interested in coming back for the chefs tasting menu. The bartender Mike Ross was super friendly and a delight to talk to!

Gave it a 4 because I felt the drinks could’ve been stronger for the price and the lamb portions could’ve been bigger. The shrimp appetizer was also a bit too salty.

The rooftop was a vibe for sure. Looked beautiful once the sun started setting!

Dietary restrictions: Weren’t able to modify dishes to fit dairy free but suggested dishes on their menu that were dairy free.

We had the most amazing experience. I strongly recommend the rooftop! The drinks were phenomenal and the food was exquisite. We will definitely be back!

I was charged double the cancellation fee that Resy had calculated. I’ve been trying to reach the restaurant to sort this overcharge. No response.

Vine a celebrar mi cumpleaños y me la pasé muy bien. El ambiente fue bastante agradable, aunque la comida me quedo a deber un poco en cuestión de sabor y presentación. No fue mala en lo absoluto, pero creo que mi expectativa era mayor para mi tercer restaurante Michelin. Aún así la amabilidad del equipo de cocina y de servicio me hicieron sentir bastante apreciado, el detalle del postre de cumpleaños y que la Chef se acercara a la mesa fue un plus a nuestra experiencia. Espero volver pronto para una segunda buena impresión.

Every one from waitresses to waiters and sommelier were very courteous and accommodating. The beverage director Judy was very knowledgeable and creative about cocktails. We tried this drink called “liquid Gold” made with Safran and rose water which made it very unique. We were celebrating our anniversary and they made it special. I would highly recommend trying the food at this place if you are interested in a prefix tasting menu.

We were seated upstairs because of condensation droplets on the first floor. The upstairs temp was barely OK. Bathroom was an inferno. All of the food from the canapes through dessert was outstanding both presentation and flavor. Our server was just OK. We had to ask to have the butter refilled 3 times. New silverware was not placed in a timely manner and the runners were waiting with our hot dishes. Not good. Sommelier was helpful.

My wife and I had dinner at Gravitas to celebrate our Fourth Wedding Anniversary and the team hit it out of the park. We splurged on the six course tasting menu. I had the wine pairing and my wife had a non-alcoholic cocktail because she is expecting. The team accommodated a dairy allergy for my wife as well as the necessary accommodations for pregnancy without any fuss. The food was fantastic and we had a wonderful time. I particularly enjoyed the chicken main dish. My wife had the wagyu and after a small bite I can confirm that her rave review was spot on. The meal was a splurge for us on a special occasion, but we had an amazing time and found the splurge worth it. Luckily if you want to economize there are plenty of options, so even if your budget is tight I'd recommend Gravitas. What a gem! We're so happy we spent our special evening with the Gravitas team. Highly recommend!

Fairly disappointed for a Michelin star spot- food was underwhelming and uninteresting and portions were aggressively small. Ambience (especially the rooftop conversatory) is incredible thought

Service and ambiance 4/5Ate at the winter chalet which is on rooftop. Was drafty.Food 3/5. Good food but not great value or portion size.

Amazing experience. I cant recommend this place enough. It's inspired, well done, a slightly refined flavor of edgy, and a great celebration of culinary art in a comfortable environment. Think Per Se light if it was in a warehouse and jeans were allowed.
