What I like about Gotham is that they still have that old world style to them without being too stuffy, old school or pretentious. The service is fantastic. That being said, they do still respect many steakhouse traditions. If you’re looking for a luxury experience in the city, look no further.

For starters, we ordered the Crab Cake and Fried Calamari.

The Crab Cake is made with fresh crab, pickled cucumber and roasted jalapeno tartar sauce. I loved that the crab cake had no room for filler. The flavour is not too briny from the crab and the jalapeno tartar sauce is mild and creamy.

The Fried Calamari is served with hot pickled banana peppers, chopped red onions and chipotle aioli. The calamari is nicely breaded. The pickled banana peppers cut the heaviness of the calamari.

For dinner, I ordered the Porterhouse Steak, along with their Gorgonzola Macaroni.

The Porterhouse Steak consists of the tenderloin filet and a New York Strip steak. Because of it’s large size and because it essentially is two steaks in one. It justifies its price tag.

I enjoyed every single bite. The way that Gotham prepares their steak is with simple – salt, pepper, sear. I ordered my steak rare-medium-rare and it came exactly how I had asked for it – on both sides. I’d have to say that this is the best steak I’ve had in a long time.

Finally, our Gorgonzola Macaroni was a high-end mac and cheese is made with Gorgonzola, a nice, slightly salty and buttery tasting blue cheese. It paired beautifully with my steak and I would definitely get it again – the portion of the mac was perfect for Brian and I to share.

I enjoyed my time at Gotham and we’ll definitely be back to conquer the Tomahawk steak (sold out when we were there unfortunately) and the seafood tower!
