About the Business

Gotham Bar and Grill opened in 1984. The story began when Jeff Bliss, Jerry Kretchmer, Richard and Robert Rathe, New Yorkers from diverse backgrounds, decided to open the restaurant they longed to dine in: a large but warm and hospitable destination that matched the ambitious design with sophisticated food and service.

in 1985 Gotham enlisted chef Alfred Portale, an unknown saucier who had recently returned from some of France's best kitchens. The chef created an audaciously original menu perfectly suited the dramatic and soaring space and the public responded with an enthusiasm that has never abated.

Recently reviewed for a fifth time, Gotham is the only restaurant to have received five consecutive three-star reviews from the New York Times.

Specialties

Since opening its doors in 1984 Gotham has received a record six 3-star reviews from the New York Times. In 2020 Gotham closed permanently alongside the first wave of the pandemic, upon which longtime Managing Partner Bret Csencsitz immediately began searching for a way to come back. He soon found new partnership in environmentalist Kevin Conrad, who too was certain that Gotham had many bright years ahead. According to a mid-pandemic piece by Food & Wine magazine, Csencsitz was "moving heaven and earth" to bring Gotham back. And move it he did: on November 9, 2021, Gotham reopened to reveal a new menu by Chef Ron Paprocki, a redesign by its original architect James Biber, and an extensive collection of world-class art curated by Emily Santangelo.
