Description

An open kitchen and a hip, warehouse feel with bare bricks and concrete floors keep this place hopping at all times with the chic set. There's an American bistro atmosphere complete with menu and extensive wine list written on chalkboard. One of the best ways to experience the food is with his three-course lunch for $19 with a glass of wine for $3 more. The venison chili topped with Gruyere is heavenly, and the crispy pork belly will leave you wanting more. The kitchen is equally at home with seafood, be it mussels, tuna tartare or trout.

2007 | Best Risotto

Recently, the risotto had English peas and was topped with lightly dressed greens, red onion and a pecorino crisp. The acidity of the dressing cut some of the richness of the risotto, and the result was divine. This attention to detail is evident throughout the menu and the space itself and is a reason to keep going back to what is... More »
2006 | Best Macaroni and Cheese

Gravitas earned its reputation as the hippest kitchen in the city by reinterpreting slow-food classics. Chefs Jason Gould and Scott Tycer put an Alpine spin on macaroni and cheese with an item the menu calls housemade German spaetzle baked with Gruy�re. The dish brilliantly combines delicate little noodles with a big full-flavored stinky Swiss cheese. If you're willing to broaden your definition enough to allow spaetzle and Gruy�re to fill in for the elbows and yellow cheese powder that co... More »

Two large chunks of pork come to an order at Gravitas (807 Taft, 713-522-0995), where this appetizer is simply named Crispy Pork ($10). Inside the crispy pork skin is a thin layer of fat over succulent pork belly meat, which falls apart on your fo... More »
