3 of the 4 meals had overcooked meat, 1 cocktail needed to be returned. Entrees were serviced about 1 min after the appetizers arrived. Very disappointed

We had dinner here last night. We waited over 45 minutes for an appetizer during a time when they weren't very busy. 20 minutes later when our food arrived it was cold. The braised short ribs tasted like over cooked dry pot roast. The mashed potatoes were overwhelming with garlic and cold. The candies carrots were hard and cold. Our waiter barely came to our table and for 18% gratuity already added into the bill that's unacceptable. Will not be returning.

No place better to go before and after a show. We went before, and my husband's Alfredo was so good we went back for dessert after and I got an Alfredo to bring home

Food was good, but a bit high in price. Filet Mignon Petit was good, but VERY petit. Lamb Shank was good size and flavorful. Food got cold very quickly, and seems sides may have not been very warm to begin with. Should have plates preheated. All drinks were pricey too. Live music was nice .. piano man playing show tunes. Not a vocalist, so kinda ruined some songs by giving it a vocal like Bob Dillon (not musical). For the money spent for dinner for 2, felt could have been better experience.

We had a great overall dinning experience! Our requests during our online reservation was met and our server, Justin, was courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating. Our drinks and meals were prepared deliciously and served in a timely manner. We had a memorable wedding anniversary dinner at Gershwin’s! Thank you!

The meal was very good. The feel of the restaurant was cool. It has an art deco, art Neuvo feel. It was a bit loud.

The wife decided to have a date night, and we so glad we chose Gershwin’s as our dinner spot. The food and drinks were amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better server. Our overall guest experience was definitely a 10! Definitely would recommend to our friends!

The food and drinks were great. The reason I marked the noise level the way I did was because there was a birthday celebration nearby. That's a noisy setting I can live with. The musician playing at the front of the restaurant played a fun mix of jazz standards and more modern pop tunes with a jazz flavor; her take on "Rocket Man" was well worth hearing. Our server was attentive and charming. Gershwin's is a restaurant I'll talk positively about with folks when I fly back home to New Orleans.
