Gotham Bar and Grill was a New American restaurant located at 12 East 12th Street (between Fifth Avenue and University Place), in Greenwich Village in Manhattan, in New York City.

[5][6] The restaurant was opened by Jerry Kretchmer, Jeff Bliss, Rick and Robert Rathe and featured the American chef Alfred Portale.

Portale was influenced by the New American cuisine movement from California in the 1980s and 1990s, notably from Alice Waters and Jeremiah Tower of Chez Panisse.

[11] The menu consists of seasonal-inspired selections such as Elyssian Fields-roasted loin of lamb, Niman Ranch 40 Day Dry Aged Strip Steak, Roasted Celeriac with Vegan Bordelaise and Black Truffles, and Handmade Cavatelli.

[12][13][14][15][16] The modern, expansive restaurant was chic, located in the multi-level loft space of a former warehouse, with high soaring ceilings, tall floor-to-ceiling windows, and pieces of parachute cloth billowing around its chandeliers.
