Joey PillowSeptember 11, 2018I loved the steak tartare. But Gravity is all about the alchemy of food and wine together, so ask for a recommendation. I went with the Pinot from the French Backback flight (worth a tip on its own).
Shali NguyenApril 10, 2017Among the many crowded bars in downtown PA, this place will generally have a spot where you can grab a table, a wine flight and cheese plate. You can almost always grab a reservation same day on OT!
Come for happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-6pm) - great selection of food and drinks at affordable prices!
Kat 🐱February 9, 2016Nice ambiance and good wine. Great place to hang out with a small group of friends.
Juston PayneDecember 30, 2012Braised beef short ribs were tender and flavorful, and the bread pudding dessert lived up to the hype.
this place is chill. not pretentious, sleek interior, nice wine. i like it much more than wine room...
Steven LehrburgerNovember 6, 2013The best cocktails I've had south of San Francisco and north of Los Angeles.
PoojaMay 23, 2014Entree quantities are small so larger portion of pasta (6 oz.) was sufficient for dinner (after having appetizers)
Shirley LiuAugust 19, 2012Cute place to grab a glass of wine (or beer) at, less crowded than The Wine Room
Rudy HernandezOctober 7, 2012Unexpected discovery: Apple Crostada, Caramel Sea Salt Gelato. Incredibly delicious.
Sarah Sled LentJanuary 8, 2011Last night was great. Tonight, bartender less attentive, and gave a bad pour on my wine- just because you finish the end of a bottle doesn't mean my glass is full.
William GunnSeptember 30, 2015Stick with the wine. Cocktail quality is highly dependent on who's working.
- Victor TsaranMarch 26, 2011Panna Cota was good and so was thee wine. I would also suggest chicken thighs!
Very nice wine list, tasty food, relaxing ambiance. I like it a lot.
Spencer SchoebenAugust 13, 2015they. this place is okay. they're open late which is the only reason I come here
Agreed. Go to wine room instead. But the wine room doesn't have meals. Food is good at Gravity. Wine list is improving....a little
Leah WeinsteinJanuary 1, 2013Very mediocre. I can't think of any other way to say it. Great wait staff can't make up for the food.

"This isn't a winery, but when you need wine, you need wine! It's super cute and right off University. Perfect place to go before dinner, and why not...after dinner too. Small inside, so best for 2."

"Great back patio, great wine selection & tasting flights. The downside was that there were only 3 entrees to choose from."
