Gramercy Park Italian Cafe Shutters After Nearly 10 Years — and More Closings | Eater NY

"I learned that Gristmill, the seasonal farm-to-table neighborhood restaurant in Park Slope opened by chef-owner Jake Novick-Finder in summer 2016 and known for wood-fired pizzas in a rustic space and for sourcing artisanal grains from Northeastern farms, has closed; the closure was announced with a sign and on Instagram." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

Visited off season. Staff were very kind and informative of their cocktail offerings. We enjoyed 4 different ones. There is plenty of outdoor seating for the warmer months as well as a stage for performers.

Come here if you like drinking margaritas that taste like lime Gatorade mixed with bourbon. I seriously wonder if the people who work here have ever tasted a margarita, or know what it's supposed to taste like. I wasted $28 on two of the world's most disgusting drinks that neither I nor my husband could get one sip down. Bar was so busy and the bartender was so slow that we didn't even have time to complain. This does just seem like a one drink stop on your way to put in Bay but I would highly suggest one of the other bars in the area wolfies was amazing!

My husband and I came in on a Labor Day weekend and bellied up at the bar. The 2 female bartenders were next level and so kind. The live music was surprising amazing and I would 100% recommend and come back myself. Only a mile walk home to the Airbnb also.

I’ll never give this place another dime. The staff here are unbelievably rude, and last night sealed the deal for me. After leaving the Brick House, where we had exceptional service, I walked in with two friends. Normally, you’d expect at least a “hello” or “welcome” when you enter a business. Instead—nothing. Not even eye contact. When I asked if we could still get a drink (it was 10:30 and they close at 11), the bartender gave a dismissive response I can’t even recall because what happened next overshadowed it. The owner sat in the corner staring at us like we’d just landed from another planet. It was uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I politely said, “I don’t like the way you treat people here,” because this wasn’t the first time I’d felt disrespected in this place. That’s when everything went completely off the rails. Instead of listening, the owner and two female employees started yelling at me, making a huge scene in front of everyone. I never raised my voice, I never cursed, and yet they shoved me toward the door like I was the problem. It was humiliating and honestly shocking. No customer deserves to be treated that way—especially for simply voicing their opinion in a respectful manner. If this had been my establishment, I would have listened, apologized, and asked how I could improve. Instead, the owner chose to act childish and hostile. Bottom line: this place clearly doesn’t value its customers, and the owner seems more interested in power-tripping than running a professional business. There are far better places to spend your money in town.

One of the best little bars in Ottawa County! High Quality products and excellent craftsmanship on behalf of the bartenders. Excellent choices for non-drinkers such as myself as well!

First off I would've liked to have commented on the gentleman's review that came into the Gristmill with his friends and was thrown out for no apparent reason but I don't know how. I was there that night with a friend when these three gentlemen came in, they looked like they were having fun but were in no way shape or form drunk like was explained by the owner. I have no idea what was said or done to get the treatment they did because we were sitting outside but the gentleman that had his drink ripped out of his hand had every right to demand a refund. How he was treated by your staff and how he remained calm the whole time was beyond me. After leaving the gristmill we went across the street and saw the three gentlemen at another local establishment and after hearing there story it sounded like the gristmill didn't like a comment one of them made about how he was being treated. Shame on you Gristmill for creating a scene like that over someone giving an opinion.

Epic place its wounderful, vibrant, and friendly. its clean and fresh id recommend stoping by here while your in port clinton.. I recomend there bloody mary it the best in town ive had!!!! also recommend the strawberry cosmopolitan or long island.. they support local business for food so order online and get it delivered you won't be upset.. drinks are little pricey. But also it is not a dive bar by any means✌️so you get what you pay for. they have expanded and grown a lot since they opened. Can't wait to see what they do for food because they are opening a food truck soon! The owner is super friendly. Also dog friendly 🤟 also great live music and karaoke on Thursdays.

This place is a treasure. The drink menu and alcohol selection is beyond scoring. The atmosphere is beyond scoring. If you are a cocktail enjoyer you would be remiss to skip The Gristmill. Legendary stop, hats off.
