The Corcoran GroupApril 22, 2014All we can say is that we're still dreaming about the brisket tots - we highly recommend ordering your own and not sharing. As a main, definitely order the duck breast - the seasoning is perfect!
RisaJune 6, 2014Obviously get the brisket tots and suckling pig, but don't miss out on the creative charcuterie selection (it's like a chefy app sampler) + spaghetti w 3 types of clams and a hearty "bisque" sauce.
Wilson ZhouFebruary 21, 2015I was there for brunch and this dish is such a surprising treat. All ducks🐥, duck hash, poached duck egg, duck chicharrones. Definitely recommend this, although I expect they have all ganders
New York PostDecember 3, 2014Check out Chef Jesse Schenker's popular “Buffalo” sweetbreads ($12), homemade pasta, and hearty-but-creative mains like suckling pig porchetta with apple mustard ($32). Read more
Ms HeleneApril 7, 2016Briske tots w sour cream sauce, chargrilled octopus w fennel salad, fish stew w grilled bread & seasonal cobbler. Skip roasted cauliflower and cheese plate.
Harumi UFebruary 18, 2015Cod entree served with incredibly delicious brussel sprouts and amazingly sweet root vegetable puree. Equally enjoyed black and white chocolate mousse which was light and fluffy. Rolls are yummy
BettyNovember 24, 2016Cocktails & appetizers are on point. Gin lovers try Rhubarb & Rose. Mushrooms, cauliflower, fries were immensely flavorful. Eli our server was the best NYC service I've had in ages.- Wilson ZhouFebruary 20, 2015Recette chef Jesse Schenker gets snacks include "Buffalo" sweetbreads and brisket tater tots. He brings the creative refinement to housemade charcuterie and larger plates of pasta and seafood. Zagat
Claire J SongJune 1, 2015Cheeseburger, $16 Jesse Schenker’s lunchtime burger is a beautiful thing: a thick puck of dry-aged beef, loosely packed to allow all those succulent fat molecules enough space to do their job.
Su ParkNovember 30, 2015Brisket tots are delicious! Would go back just for that and some wine. Large space in the dining area and more casual up front by the bar.
Bitches Who BrunchFebruary 3, 2016The Bitches say: C. A lovely ambiance in a great neighborhood, but only one dish was remarkable. Don’t sleep on the German pancake, but the rest of the food was good, but not great. Read more
Bin YangApril 12, 2014Get the brisket tots, calamari salad, branzino, and basically any desserts with the word bacon in it
Melissa LiJanuary 15, 2015Fancier sit down place. Casarecci was really incredible. It's a pasta with lots of mushrooms and parmesan. Recommend the roasted cauliflower too.
MargaritaApril 26, 2016Good service - ordered the duck and it was waaaay go salty; dessert more than made up for it though (can't remember what we ordered though)
Christen ClinkscalesMarch 13, 2015Definitely try the brisket tots. They are divine! For your main, the porchetta is a great choice. Delicious!!
Gianna SantelliAugust 2, 2015Ideal for a group hour. Lots of bottles and plates to share and you can actually hear each other over the music.
Jeremy RiosNovember 26, 2015Decided to go here for thanksgiving. They made sure to charge us a week before and kept calling to make sure we were still coming. Got here early because of this. 30 min later, still no seat.
Adam SchuitJanuary 22, 2016Great bar and drinks if you are looking for something upscale and chic in flatiron!
Alice EunjinOctober 15, 2015Appetizers (burrata cheese and hamachi crudo) were off, but I loved my main dish!
julia tDecember 18, 2014Good roast veggies, attentive service. Tartare is meh but the green salad has interesting veggies and a great vinaigrette.
leah chengJune 21, 2014Brisket tots were overrated. Calamari salad had a good variety of flavors. Service was awkward. They're new so I'll let them work out the kinks before coming back.
Sophia LiuFebruary 4, 2016The brisket tots and sea trout tartare are great. The burrata, not so much as it was lacking flavor. All 3 pastas: risotto, duck confit, oxtail were disappointing! Way too salty! Left feeling hungry.
MatthewOctober 25, 2015Some of the nicest people work here. Our waiter and owner/manager were the best.
DarynaDecember 22, 2014I took a seat at the bar. Bartender never heard what I ordered. Had to point to the menu all the time. Annoying. Also portions are small..not sure if male human can be full with their entry portions.
Monica CullenJanuary 27, 2015The booth style seating makes it easy to hear everyone even if you have a large group.
Pontus AlexanderMay 3, 2016The cheese burger had a reputation but to me it was just the absolutely most basic burger. Not bad, just boring.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 21, 2016If you visit The Gander don’t forget to pair your favorite dessert with Pueblo Viejo Añejo.
Jenn PAugust 10, 2014Decent brunch but kind of forgettable. I had the German pancake which was on the dry side...even with syrup.
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 8, 2015If you are in The Gander, try a Margarita with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaApril 1, 2016he Easter colors reflect in a Margarita mixed with Pueblo Viejo. Get yours here at The Gander!
