We came for breakfast and I was really impressed. Service was great, elegant vibe. Not the most diverse menu is maybe the only downside and it seemed more focused on execution of the classic options. That said, the one unique option was an egg and cheese dosa with sambal (they also had a vegetarian version of the dosa). It was superb, a hint of heat but nothing overpowering and well spiced, not spicy. Cooked to perfection, thin and flavorful dosa. Would definitely recommend and would be happy to return. That dosa was delicious. read more

I was incredibly impressed by this whole experience. Went for restaurant week lunch and I think everyone should try it once in their life. Definitely a place to expense for a business lunch if you're in the Midtown East area. Business causal is the bare minimum for this establishment. Its a beautiful walk up to the actual restaurant. I love the open kitchen ambiance as well. I had the lunch menu and everything was incredible with a service that matched. My favorite dish was the Organic Braised Chicken was wonderful - spicy, savory and the rice pilaf was a great vehicle. Will definitely be back when I want to splurge on myself. read more

Came here for restaurant week and the restaurant is extremely nice and had a great lay out. The seafood was prepared well and the service was attentive, but they missed the mark with the pesto. The pesto had no real flavor and not enough seasoning, there was also not much texture for the tagliatelle either so it was a very plain dish that ended up getting sent back to the kitchen. All the seafood however was on point especially the hake. The hake had great texture and a nice crist/sear. The sauce was slightly spicy and it was a nice complement for the fish. The salmon was very tender and cooked medium rare. It just fell apart with no effort and had a great almost chili oil type of sauce. I think they should have chosen a different vegetable other than squash, but the fried squash was nice to give some crunch. The desserts were ok, nothing too special, though the banana caramel pudding was unique and had an interesting creme fraiche ice cream. I might go back for seafood again, but be selective with other menu items. read more

I came here for my birthday dinner with my dad and partner and it was very good. It's tucked inside a corporate office building, so a little difficult to find, but once you step inside, it's lovely. The bar and lounge areas are downstairs and great for a cocktail or small bites. The main dining room is upstairs, and very refined with an open kitchen to peer into (depending on where you sit). Our server was amazing and took such good care of us. We ordered a number of items off the menu including the market lettuces, the beef tartar and the yellowfin tuna to start. We all enjoyed our starters. For mains, we ordered the salmon, the lumache and the tagliatelle. Everyone enjoyed the main courses, though my dad thought his pasta dish was a bit too salty. For dessert, we ordered the apple confit and got the cake as a surprise. I'd definitely come back here again to grab a drink at the beautifully appointed bar or for a celebratory dinner. read more

Just wonderful! Lovely atmosphere, friendly attentive staff, and yummy food. The sea bass was delicious. I avoided some spice and they modified it perfectly. The mushrooms in the broth sauce were extremely varied and delicious. I rarely order a mocktail, but did this time--the raspberry lychee drink. Delish! I asked for it to be made on the sweet side and they did a perfect job. A squeeze of lime in the drink and I had to have two. The banana custard dessert was just wonderful! I'm a dessert snob and this did not disappoint. The sourdough and , I believe, Swedish bread were so fresh and served with butter. Will definitely go back the next time I'm in NYC. read more

Food was absolutely amazing. We especially enjoyed the ravioli. It's a beautiful place to go for a special night out.

My partner and I came to Four Twenty Five for a late Valentine's Day date, and decided to try the tasting menu. Even though I was hesitant about some of the courses such as the caviar, ahi tuna, and beets salad, to name a few, the overall experience was great! The course is about 7 small portion courses, and the flavors were so refreshing and delicious! The presentation was crafted so well and fun and by the end of the course, I was definitely very full. My favorites were the butternut squash ravioli pasta, steak and broccoli, and the raspberry sorbet-chocolate dessert. The tuna was high quality and paired so well with a citrusy sauce. Moreover, the staff were so attentive and polite, and made sure we were tended to during our dinner. Highly recommend for a date night! read more

We continued the month long celebration of my soulmate's birthday on Friday, the 23rd!! We were planning to order from the Restaurant Week Menu, but our server talked us into the Chef's Seasonal Tasting Menu. "Four Twenty Five" has nice decor with a full view of the kitchen on the 2nd floor dining room. Also, the service is amazing with their attentive staff. Lastly, the courses are absolutely delicious. Thanks to Four Twenty Five for the amazing experience!! read more

The elegant, delicious meal starts with a slice of hearty grain bread and a slice of deeply savory sourdough, with plenty of butter to slather on top. The server noticed how much I liked their special bread and graciously packed a couple slices for me to go at the end of the meal. But first, a tasty amuse bouche of crisp asparagus tempura with truffle aioli to start. Then baby beets that were punctuated with little dollops of crème fraiche and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. A lovely start! The black bass crusted with sesame seeds sits atop a bed of wild mushrooms in a tom yum broth. The lobster was also delicious. The slab of pistachio crusted broccoli was crisp tender and a nice complement. I forgot to take a photo of the cherry tiramisu, which was truly the cherry on top of our wonderful meal. read more

Before coming here and before checking out the menu, I was drawn to this restaurant after seeing photos of the space, which was huge and elegant. The big names behind the restaurant and their credentials also helped. I was happy to glam up and enjoy a birthday dinner here. The yellowfin tuna and the kampachi under the crudos section were probably my favorite as they were tasty and refreshing especially in recent heatwaves we've been experiencing. Sticking with seafood for starters, we also enjoyed the octopus and tagliatelle (with crab) which were cooked perfectly and were flavorful. I enjoyed the steamed sea bass and my friend got the duck. The entrees were not as creative and did not impress us as much as the earlier dishes. Dessert however was really fun and tasty without feeling too heavy afterwards. We shared the rhubarb knafe and the strawberry shortcake, and were surprised with an olive oil cake with lemon icing topped with a candle to commemorate the birthday. The olive oil cake isn't on the menu (although it should be because it's so good) and was a delicious way to cap the evening. A visit dedicated to trying the desserts menu would definitely be worth it. read more

I went to Four Twenty Five the other day for lunch. The restaurant is a part of the larger office building, and the windows area all covered in shades, so it was a little hard to find the front door (it did not look like a front door). The restaurant inside is quite beautiful, with a bar on the first floor and the dining room on the second. It was very business lunch vibes. The service was good. I tried the following dishes: Yellowfin Tuna (sunflower seed hummus, lime, chili, lotus chips) (5/5): A very good crudo. I thought the hummus was really interesting, and the lotus chips complemented the dish nicely. Agnolotti (roasted squash, ricotta and parmiggiano cheese, brown butter foam, shiitake mushroom agro dolce, amaretti) (3.5/5): This was a pretty good dish, but nothing particularly special. The pasta was well cooked. It was very very rich and buttery. However, I don't know that I enjoyed the mix of flavors, and it was not very memorable. Black Sea Bass (mushrooms) (3/5): This was okay. The fish was cooked nicely and was tender, but the flavors were very muted. The mushrooms were a little salty. Pomme Puree (russet potatoes, butter, cream) (2/5): These mashed potatoes were incredibly buttery -- too buttery. There was literally a pat of butter on top that ran into the already buttery / creamy mashed potatoes (see picture). I loved mashed potatoes, and I love butter, but this was too much. For dessert, we had the apple confit and the chocolate dessert. The apple confit was nice, tasted like an elevated McDonald's apple pie (this is a compliment). The chocolate dessert came with a nice almond ice cream. It was good but very very dense. Overall, I had a decent experience at Four Twenty Five. It wasn't particularly unique or innovative, and I am not sure I would return. read more

My friend who lives in the area said the bar was amazing, and I have to agree. I don't drink, but they make a mean mocktail, and I really enjoyed the vibe in the bar area. I'd definitely come back to try their food. ENJOY! PS: It's a bit tricky to find since there's no signage outside. You enter through what looks like an office building, and the spot is tucked off to the left. read more

Service and ambiance were great. The space is beautiful, the bar had interesting drinks (the old fashioned had two pieces of delicious, buttery foie gras in it!), and it wasn't too loud or dark. But we were really disappointed in the tasting menu. Each plate was either too salty (silken tofu caviar), weirdly salty/spicy (yellowtail w/hummus), too sour (beet salad), too vinegary (agnolotti), or burnt (wagyu tenderloin). The only saving grace was the dessert which was a citrusy delight. Spent over $500 for this...Wouldn't recommend for the tasting and not coming back. read more

While the food was good, the service and fact that our table was ready 45 minutes after the reservation time really make it hard for me to give more than 3 stars as unacceptable for a Jean George restaurant.

The host was so sweet and understanding. (They did not charge us a cancellation fee.) The bartender was also great. Attentive and friendly. The space is beautiful. I know Jean Georges recently opened this location, so everything feels new and opulent. I will definite come back for a proper dinner. But drinks at the bar were very fun. read more

We were here during the restaurant week. We got the value out of the set dinner!! Loving the experience! Each dish is an amazing culinary journey, familiar and adventurous tastes of different cultural crossroads, sailing through regions of Asia to the Middle East, from the land of Europe to North America. Delicious and innovative. Ambiance is modern and romantic. Service is polite and could be more consciously attentive. For example, they presented the main course dishes when one of the parties was temporarily absent, a bit surprising. We will be back again though. read more

Beautiful food, gorgeous ambiance. I liked some of the dishes more than others. The octopus and squid a La plancha was the highlight. As delicious as it was beautiful. The honeycrisp apple spiral for dessert was also outstanding. A dish I'd come back for. The foie gras terrine was a fascinating combo of flavors. I can't say I loved it, but I'm glad I tried it. It was memorable! The roasted Scottish cod and the steamed black bass were both good. But I've had better seafood at his other restaurants, and I'd rather go to The Fulton to have fish. I wanted to love the scallop tartare, but the flavor was underwhelming. The dark chocolate mousse was similar; it was good, but not excellent. The olive oil washed martini was outstanding. I didn't love the bergamot margarita. read more

My mom and I recently had dinner here, and every detail was absolute perfection. Overall, I'd say this restaurant has a sophisticated, understated, perfect-for-entertaining-business-clients type of vibe. The decor is simple yet elegant....lots of wood, and shades of plum/burgundy throughout. The color scheme even extends to the waitstaff and their uniforms. The dining area (located one or two floors up from the entrance/host's station, via elevator) is so gorgeous, and every aspect is 'just so'. Beautiful chairs....fresh flowers on the tables....and even the window treatments, which are spectacularly long expanses of fabric that hang from what must be at least 3-4 floors up, all the way down to the ground floor. The service was impeccable, and the food was sublime and beautifully presented. I also liked the fact that the kitchen area - all behind glass - was very 'open', so you could observe, discreetly, all the goings on in there. I'd love to return again, for dinner, or perhaps to try out their brunch. read more

Let me start by saying I chose 425 Park for a pre-mothers day dinner with my family, party of five all adults - not that difficult- I heard a lot of good reviews, from friends on this restaurant and being a Jean George frequent customer " back in the day" I thought this would be a fabulous place to enjoy great service ,great food, and great atmosphere with my family However!!! it was the opposite. Upon entrance, all was good the hostesses were delightful and welcoming. As we settled in we requested recommendations on wines which the Sommelier was more the helpful , he actually was the highlight of our dinner experience! BRAVO TO HIM! As per his recommendation of a fabulous white burgundy, on point! we enjoyed two bottles of his recommendations throughout dinner I must say he was the only attentive and most informative person we encounter throughout our whole dinner! It took our server at least 45 minutes or so to ask if we had any questions or if we were ready to order, she apparently was missing. We didn't even get bread served . -she actually admitted at the end she was slow to accommodate us with ordering. During our appetizers, the help was asking to clear the table while most of my party was still eating. We were able to ignore that, although fine dining that should never be an issue or thought. They should know immediately what plate should be removed and who is still eating Moving on to the entrées..., They served entrées with our appetizer plates,finished , that were not removed, which to me is a nonstarter. The food was good Yes but not great ! Then to end our experience, we ordered multiple desserts, along with three espresso martinis Which did not arrive and had to ask about after our desserts were done. Timing was horrible, at that point we asked to remove the espresso martinis from the Bill. It was past the point. Just saying..... we spent over $1000 and still put a 20% tip, that was not worthy - it wasn't about the money -Clearly- Yes we had good food ,which was supposed to be excellent,horrible service, which also was supposed to be Excellent with the exception of the Sommelier. I say .....Jean George back in the day. It was Excellent ! today.....,, Just overpriced menu. I will never go back to a Jean George restaurant again And this is coming from a frequent Customer of RESTAURANTS Like Casa Tua, Casa Cipriani ZZ CLUB,LaBocca and my list can go on with my fine dining experiences in nyc and around the world . But -425 Park- will not be recommended from me or on my list! VERY UNDERWHELMED and DISAPPOINTED!! read more

Near perfection for high end dining. Beautiful setting after you take the elegant staircase to the second floor. The service is near perfection. Our waitress was down to earth and knew the menu. Her guidance was wonderful. Perfection with my shrimp pasta in red sauce. There are no shells just the exquisite shrimp. My duck had a wonderful side of cabbage (perfection). The duck consisted of 2 very generous slices of duck and cooked to a bright rare perfection. I felt the sauce was not strong enough for the duck but the wonderful herb's made it work perfectly. I gave the meal a 4.5 and was happy to round up to 5. Definitely worthy of a special event evening. read more

Awfully arrogant bartenders who take 12 minutes to deliver a drink. Offer no water or nuts. The entire host stand on their phones at peak dinner hours and the short one SO incredibly rude.

Gorgeous setting. Friendly, smiling service. Tablecloth, dishware, glassware, silverware all first-rate top quality and in perfect condition. A special place to eat a meal. Literally every element is built in a special fashion and designed with care and creativity. Architecturally terrific. Good lighting, sound level that allows for easy conversation, very comfortable seating. Rest rooms nice, could be checked and cleaned more often (sink area was wet when I was in there and it could/should have been clear and dry). This was lunch. Bread plate - some seeded bread and some sourdough. 7/10. Butter too cold. Salt on top which is key and appreciated. Overall nothing special. A small item but I expected better. Just order bread from Pain D'Avignon and be done with it. Russ and Daughters smoked salmon. 8/10. Great presentation. Incredibly thin-sliced. Paper-thin. Tasted great. Horseradish sauce on the side had little flavor, certainly no meaningful horseradish flavor. Potatoes good. Black Bass 9/10. Very nice portion. Delicious "sauce" and lots of mushrooms. Striking presentation. Hamburger with Gruyere, Fries and Jus. 8/10. Very good hamburger. Nowhere near enough gruyere. Not even close. Bun uninteresting. Patty excellent. Just terrific so dipping in there made all the other shortcomings largely go away. But I still expected more. Chocolate dessert. 10/10. Creative, gorgeous, delicious. Star of the meal. Very expensive lunch and we enjoyed it a lot but it's clearly a 4 not a 5 given the name, the space, the service, the price - the food does not get where it should, IMHO. This is kind of like Coqodaq - for some reason Coqodaq is popular but just read the Yelp reviews - it's living on a fake reputation - the reality is the food is not what its reputation suggests. All that said, 425 is not so far from a 5 with some food improvements needed to get it there. Given all the other positive attributes food should be the easiest element to upgrade so when we go back in 6 months we are thinking it will be a 5. We hope so! read more

Great Food Quality ***** Wonder Staff ***** Beautiful and comfortable setting***** Noice Level, perfect, conversations are heard***** Ability To get a glass or bottle of Wine or Mixed Drink. to enjoy with the food.....almost impossible. It took about 15 minutes to get served, only a bit less for a second glass to be poured. We asked repeatedly for help. The staff couldn't help. They need to have a service bar on the same level as the seating ........Please Fix this ASAP.

Elegant restaurant that is a throwback to the high rolling 1980s and early 1990s. White tablecloths, expensive stemware, professional, friendly service and well presented food. We went for Restaurant Week and liked the fluke sashimi, butternut squash soup, and the hake fish entree with satay sauce. The Black Angus Chuck entree was unappetizing - much too fatty and lacked flavor. The complimentary breads were excellent. The desserts were showy and tasty - caramel custard with delicious creme fraiche ice cream and flourless chocolate almond cake with marzipan ice cream (the ice cream was better than the cake). This is a place to go for a special occasion or Restaurant Week, unless you are a tech or finance bro, who were there in abundance. read more

Four Twenty Five by Jean Georges has finally opened. Originally the restaurant was going to be Four Twenty Five by Daniel Humm but Chef Humm wanted to do a strictly vegan restaurant, same as Eleven Madison Park. The owners said no and brought in Jean Georges. Although Jean Georges' name is on the restaurant, Jonathan Benno is the actual chef. As a consequence the food is not what you would expect from Jean Georges. The food is not as good as the amazing space and the attentive service. At a Jean Georges restaurant you expect a depth and variety of flavors that is missing at Four Twenty Five. read more

I had a reservation for a birthday dinner at Four Twenty Five, a high-end restaurant by Jean Georges. The place is stunning, with a warm and spacious atmosphere, elegant decor, and opulent furnishings. It's definitely a place to dress up and impress. However, I was not impressed by the long wait we had to endure before being seated. We arrived on time, but we had to wait for 25 minutes past our reservation time, which was very off-putting. The waiter apologized and offered us an extra appetizer, which was a nice gesture, but still not enough to make up for the inconvenience. The bartender was great, though. He was attentive and friendly, and made us some delicious cocktails while we waited. The food was mostly excellent, with some standout dishes. The octopus and squid appetizer was tender and flavorful, and the uni spaghetti was a revelation. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente, and the sauce was creamy and lemony, with the rich and buttery taste of the uni. I liked this dish more than the main course, to be honest. The main course was also very good, but not as memorable. I had the steamed black bass, which was cooked well and had a nice sauce. My partner had the wagyu beef tenderloin, which was also delicious and tender. The only thing I would suggest is to add more side dishes to the menu, because the main courses seemed a bit bare. The sauces and veggies were well prepared, but not enough to fill us up. We were pleasantly surprised by the little treats we got from the kitchen throughout the meal, such as bread, and amuse-bouche. They were a nice touch of hospitality and added some variety to the meal. For desert we had the honeycrisp apple spiral, which was outstanding. It was a beautiful and delicious creation, with layers of thin apple slices, caramel, and pastry. It was a dish I would come back for, for sure. We also had the chestnut cream cake, which was just okay, not special The staff also brought us a little cheesecake cake for the birthday celebration, which was very sweet of them. The service was top-notch throughout the night, and the staff was the highlight of the night. They were friendly, attentive, professional, and courteous. They made us feel very welcome and pampered. Overall, I would give Four Twenty Five four stars out of five. The food was delicious, but not remarkable, and I expected more from a Jean Georges restaurant. The space was amazing, and the service was exceptional. I would recommend it for a special occasion, but be prepared to wait and pay a premium. read more
