Gayot

From the creators of the uber-hip Maritime hotel comes the Bowery. You'll find no Eames chairs or modular benches in this new Manhattan hotel. They've traded in Philippe Starck for Mrs. Astor's classically...

Poor Service

My girlfriend and I have been talking about going here since we saw them renovating the building. Wow, it was unpleasant once we finally went in. Don't they know how to smile and check up on your table...

Rude service

The place is oddly set up with a large table service area out front and a tiny bar area tucked around the back. My boyfriend and I dared to step foot outside the bar and take our drinks into the table service...

All the ambiance, but...

Gemma almost has it all. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. The service is genuine and professional. Although on the expensive side, the portions are just right if you don't want to go home feeling...

Service is great once appalling the next

I've been to Gemma a few times for the food which I enjoy. The service on the other hand is a different story. I've had the the best service ever here. I've also experienced disasters, and forget trying to get...

Go early!

My husband and I went to Gemma yesterday evening for an early dinner. The hostesses were charming and welcoming. Our waiter was attentive, energetic, and eager to help us. And the food was wonderful. It is...

Great!!

A friend and I decided to see what all the hype was about and we dropped in for an early dinner. The wait was long but totally worth it. The food was good and the service was impeccable. The sommelier...

Poor Meal

Worst meal I have had in this city in a long time, the service was poor, the waitress could have cared less if one of us dropped dead at the table. She informed us they were out of the gnocchi, then they...

Fantastic decor, terrible attitude

First of all the decor is completely reminiscent of old New York -- it feels like an antique lodge. We loved this! HOWEVER the attitude of the staff and the management leaves much to be desired. When we first...

Wasted Night

I was told there would be a 45 min wait so I left my name and went to the bar. After an hour they told us it would be another hour!! Finally after waiting two hours to be seated, another 40 min to get...

Nice Atmosphere, Mediocre Food

I had the salmon and my wife had the sea bass. Both were ok, nothing to write home about. Waiter was not very friendly. Would only go back for an afternoon pizza.

Not Too Impressed

After watching the construction of the hotel and the restaurant for MONTHS, I was very excited to eat there, especially considering the people involved in the operation. The atmosphere is great. The space is...

Gemma's no gem!

Went here last night, the wait for a Monday night was over an hour. There are some really cute things about Gemma, the fact that their entire staff is Italian, obviously makes it authentic. However, the...

Yummy!

We stopped in here after an afternoon of shopping in SoHo. We were seated immediately and received the warmest service throughout our meal. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and seemed genuinely...

Too Cool

My family and I went to Gemma after hearing all of the buzz surrounding its opening. The sceney, rustic Italian atmosphere made the restaurant. The service, on the other hand (mostly the hosts and hostesses),...

Exceeded My Expectations

I walked by on the fourth day of business to a manager who was friendly and promised great fare. Three days later a friend and I were treated to attentive service and truly great Italian flavor. The zucchini...

Good, with some things to work out

We wanted to stay somewhere different than the usual suspects (Sofitel, Le Parker Meridien), so we tried the Bowery. The rooms are nice and comfortable, though they lack much storage, so I wouldn't stay for...
