The Gramercy — Restaurant in Lakeway

I’ve been coming here for at least 2 years now. I stumbled upon this place when I moved to the area and it’s absolutely amazing. The vibe, people/service, drinks and food are great.

My favorite appetizers are the chicken wings (Buffalo & BBQ) with their homemade ranch, Pork Belly Bites & the waffle grilled cheese(add the chicken & bacon). My favorite drink is the smoked old fashioned, they have so many options to choose from and you can’t really go wrong if you like the ingredients, my girlfriend enjoys the lakeside! Some key Entrées we enjoy are Shrimp and Grits, Gramercy Burger, Works Salad & Crispy Salmon!

Starting April 30, 2023 they will be open on Sundays for Brunch!! We were invited to the soft opening brunch and I must say what I had didn’t disappoint at all!! You have to wait until you get your food in order to get your drink just due to the local laws. We ordered 2 mimosas one passion fruit and one original they were so well made! For food, I had the Gramlette (Gramercy Omelette) and it was really good and flavorful! It came with some nice southwest breakfast potatoes and a mixed greens salad with Balsamic vinaigrette. I also ordered the French Toast and it’s not your traditional it was an actual French baguette with bananas, salted Carmel sauce and powdered sugar, and it didn’t disappoint at all. I cleaned both of my plates lol. The Gramercy never lets me down, and I’ve brought so many people here and they always ask to come when...

This is one of my favorite hidden gems! We are regulars to this restaurant. The owners and servers are very friendly! The ambiance is casual, chill, date night vibes. The decor is unique and I love it. I wish they could open another location near Austin/Domain area.

Food: I love their apps: Buffalo and BBQ Wings, Pork Belly Bites, and Waffle Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Chicken. The entrees are great as well. I usually go for the Gramercy Burger or the Works Salad. I tried the braised Rib one time but it was too salty for me that particular day. Drinks: Their cocktail menu is fantastic too. The Lakeside is my favorite cocktail! If you love tequila and coconut you should try it! (1 will have you good for the night…but you know 2 won’t hurt).

Brunch: We were invited to the soft opening for their new Brunch menu. The brunch and drink menu had great choices to choose from. If you like mimosas these are fantastic! You have to order and receive your food first before getting your beverage. Food- I chose the Steak Benedict (medium well) and a side of pancakes. The pancakes were fluffy and pretty good. The Steak Benedict was not as flavorful as I thought and didn’t come out to the temperature I requested but our waitress, Katie, came to the rescue. I was able to change it the the G Burger. The G burger is great and very flavorful.

The Gramercy will not let you down! Definitely 5...

This was our first trip. And we were celebrating a birthday of a friend in our 5 person group. Marie's service was excellent. She handled my questioning about a skinny margarita very well and showed me the list of tequilas available there. and BTW their skinny marg was top notch. My friend got the smoked bourbon cocktail. He said it was terrific.. It got passed around for everyone to sniff. LOL The coconut shrimp were very good and creatively served hanging on the edge of a martini glass with the dipping sauce in the glass. I liked the pork belly bites. Wife thought they were a bit fatty. I liked them. The chicken lollipops were tasty. Reading the menu they had a surf and turf plate with "black angus" steak. For me that description was a red flag. But wife wanted to share that plate and i agreed. You always have to wonder which cut of the black angus steak you are going to get. So it was a sirloin. (why not just say that up front?) it was cooked properly to medium rare. it was topped with three shrimp and a delicious sauce. Overall the taste was very good. However, i must confess the toughness and chewiness of the sirloin cut left me underwhelmed. We will go again. I am looking forward to trying something different. Unfortunately i was ruled out on ordering any dessert so I get to look forward to that on...
