Had a terrific brunch with friends on Sunday. Back patio is lovely and Mimosas were excellent. When we ran out of juice our wonderful waitress happily brought more. Inside tip- order the bottle of champagne mimosas rather than the bottomless. My only small wish would be more choices in the menu but our experience was great.
An absolute gem of a place!! I had a large party to celebrate my husbands birthday and we were able to enjoy the back patio which was covered and well heated. Edgar, was super quick to reply to all emails and was at the restaurant during the party and was super kind. We did a bunch of appetizers and all of them we delicious... hard to pick a favorite, but the meatballs and the sliders were top notch! We are planning on another birthday celebration soon! The food, cocktails and the service at Gray Tavern are impeccable.
GF and I went back 12/06/24. Food was great! Both the lasagna and petite filet were delicious. Will definitely be ordering either one again and again. And music was right, matching the environment and what I'd expect. Wasn't my kind of music, but I don't expect every place to play my kind of music. I expect the playlist to match the overall feeling they're going for, to match the vibe of the joint. This time it did, which made the whole experience much better than last time! Amazing to me how many bar / restaurant owners don't understand how important lighting and music is to the overall experience. Gray's got it right for sure! And a killer back patio to boot!
Go for the food go for the cocktails go for the service the best. The staff is so friendly. I can't tell you how fabulous everybody that works There is. It's so pretty. The drinks are insane. The food fantastic. Patio is just lovely and the interior is just as good. You can't go wrong my new favorite spot in the valley!!
Menu rehauled with lots new that's thankfully not the same gastropub dishes you see everywhere! Cheese Fondue - Nervous it would be simple and heavy/greasy, but holy cow it's way better! Uncscious and cozy, but balanced. Meatballs - No complaints. Tender, well seasoned, with light herb and spice. Well done and comforting homey vibes, if not groundbreaking. Curious if it could be jazzed up/more unique. Tartare Quartet - Love trying a variety of small things! Tomato was deceptively simple until basil cames in and ended on a curious umami note I can't peg. Beef is balanced by cornichons. Tuna has mango and truffle, which is not overdone. Mushroom has big mushroom flavor with melted cheese. An attractive spread with lots of fun, different things to try. Happy to come back and keep exploring the new menu!
Stopped by for a drink on our way home on a Sunday. Decor inside is really nice. The music selection was really good especially if you have a penchant for 80's tunes! The Bart was super friendly and the beer was really good. Will be back.
Went to the grand reopening of this bar and I have high hopes for this place. The bar manager Sydney - who was really nice said they were under a new owner and he's made some great changes so far. I love the vibes of this place. It has a nice ambiance and outdoor seating. I tried the Passionfruit marg-tini that was good and the salsa they have with the chips was really good too. We tried little bites of things during the reopening but not sure which items were on their actual menu. But I'll definitely be back.
Great drinks and great food! Love the outdoor patio vibes too. I came here with a girlfriend for some drinks and food and was super impressed. Our waitress Sydney was SO friendly and provided great service. We ordered french fries, wings, and shrimp tacos. The food was so good! The shrimp in the tacos was juicy and cooked well. Also loved the guac on top. The wings were not your typical buffalo wings, they were almost sweet and spicy. I really enjoyed them. Fries were great to share as the portion was pretty large. I would come back here just for drinks and vibes. On a weekday evening is was super chill, but I have seen it get busy on weekends. I am definitely going to make this my new spot to grab drinks with friends. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more of their food!
Had a great time visiting Gray Tavern. The patio out the back is a really nice chill vibe to hang with friends or a low key date night. The service seemed to have been on the slower side. With a couple more staff it can certainly alleviate stress on staff and a more efficient service for guests. The drinks were well made and flavorful. The smoked salmon flatbread could have done with some capers, lemon juice or balsamic glaze to give it a salty or vinegar kick. The seared salmon was really nice as was the crispy cauliflower. Parking is either street or you can park in the Ralph's parking lot across the street. Definitely a cute little gem worth checking out if you're in the area!
