I've dined at Gastronomy Restaurants for almost 20 years and was looking forward to spending New Year's Eve at the New Yorker with a few friends. Upon arriving 10 minutes early for our reservation we were told that a table wouldn't be available for another 30 minutes because the folks on our table had just started dessert. Then when we were finally seated we were told that there was a reservation on our table at 10pm - an indication that they expected us to be finished and out the door by then. Service was marginal at best. On a big night you'd expect slower service but we were all missing pieces to our place settings and had to wait for replacements, extra bread, and even tea bags when we ordered tea after dinner. The clincher came when a hostess arrived at our table with our coats in hand (!) as the witching hour approached and they wanted us off the table. I was aghast. I couldn't believe the nerve. The food was great but nothing that I'd write home about. The wine list was exceptional.
Pros: Wine list
Cons: The service was horrible.
