Jams at 1 Hotel has all the makings of a great brunch spot--beautiful ambiance, a cozy setting, and a menu that feels promising. However, for a higher-end hotel, the food itself is pretty average. That said, their menu is quite unique - we opted for the vegan peanut butter oatmeal, botanical breakfast and side of chicken sausage. Truly, their peanut butter chocolate oatmeal is absolutely TO DIE FOR--rich, comforting, and worth a return visit just for that alone. Everything else was decent but nothing particularly standout. Since table space in NYC is quite limited, we opted to sit at the bar, which ended up being a great choice. The bar has a beautiful counter, and the plus side is that you can order food there as well--a nice perk if you prefer a more relaxed experience. Service-wise, our experience was mixed. The host was not friendly or accommodating, coming across as standoffish and uninterested. Fortunately, our server was fantastic--attentive, fast, and kind, which made a huge difference. On a super cold east coast morning, stepping into a warm, inviting space for a cozy brunch was exactly what I needed to fuel up for the workday. While the food overall doesn't necessarily match the upscale setting, the oatmeal alone is enough for me to return. read more

We were celebrating our friend's engagement at Jams and let me tell ya it was amazing. We had such a great time, from the drinks to the food to the music to the ambiance and the service was all top tier. We started off at the bar and ordered a few seasonal cocktails. I had a drink that tasted like an old fashioned but with pumpkin, yummm. I don't normally like pumpkin flavor things but this was good! The chocolate expresso was also really good and the autumn harvest was a smooth sipping pleasure. Direct quote, "the Sakura Martini deserves many praises." We started off with a few appetizers, the Autumn Flatbread, Maplebrook Burrata, Pan Seared Local Scallops and this amazing Whipped Ricotta Dip. I asked for the scallops to be a lil' crispier and they were literally delicious. So soft in the middle with a light crunch along the edges. We went with a family style approach and ordered for the table so we could share everything. Starting with the Halibut Florentine, so good. Really flavorful and I enjoyed the Hazelnut Gremolata it was sitting on top of. The Gnocchi was certainly filling and the pesto sauce was super fresh. The short rib risotto was banging! Oh my goodness, it was delicious, probably my favorite. I can't forget to mention the Brussels sprouts, we had to order it twice with the hopes of saving some for the next day. I don't know what we were thinking because we devoured both plates, no leftovers! If you weren't already convinced, just try it and you'll thank me later. P.S. Thank you to Egypt for the recommendations, we loved them all. read more

Jams is a delightful place I frequent with friends after the occasional Broadway show or when I find myself in Midtown. Came here on a rainy Saturday after the Flamenco Festival at NY City Center. My friend and I shared the Cheese and Charcuterie Board, their Hummus and the Winter Salad. They are great portions to share if you aren't overly ravenous and / or watch what you eat and try to eat healthily. Our waitress was wonderful, she checked up on us several times and was really friendly and attentive. What I probably love most about Jams is the homey, cozy and warm atmosphere - many beautiful, rich green plants adorn the restaurant everywhere, from the entrance to the area in the back and even above the open bar and kitchen area. If you're in the Midtown East-ish area or walking by the southern part of Central Park, pop into Jams for brunch or linner! You won't be disappointed. read more

Jams offers a delightful dining experience with its beautiful ambiance and solid menu. Located in the heart of NYC, it's a spot that combines great food with an inviting atmosphere. Food I had the scallops, and they were quite good--perfectly cooked with a nice balance of flavors. While the menu isn't overly adventurous, it delivers on quality and presentation. Definitely worth trying if you're a seafood fan. Atmosphere The ambiance is what truly sets Jams apart. The lush greenery and warm, thoughtful lighting create a relaxed yet chic vibe that feels like an escape from the city's hustle and bustle. It's the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy the surroundings as much as the meal. Drinks Cocktails were good, as expected, but brace yourself for typical NYC pricing--one drink can easily rival an appetizer in cost. That said, the drinks are well-made and complement the menu nicely. Overall Jams is a great choice if you're looking for a stylish spot with good food and drinks. read more

The seasonal salad was flavorful, the halibut was really delicious, and the apricot cheesecake was delightful. Service was generally good, though it felt a bit rushed, the appetizers were cleared quickly, and the main course arrived almost immediately, which disrupted the pacing of the meal. Apricot cheesecake was good as well , and the restaurant itself was clean and nicely maintained. read more

This place was a lovely surprise! The restaurant is full of greenery and tucked inside a hotel. We stumbled in for a late brunch on a Sunday afternoon and were seated immediately. This was our third place and we were surprised they let us in so easily and were kinda wondering if the food would be good. It was delicious! I had the avocado toast with poached eggs and a matcha latte. The toast was only one piece of toast and I thought that was odd, but I guess it was to balance out the huge side salad it came with. The matcha latte was fresh, hot and filling. Will return next time in NYC! read more

Good luck getting service. You literally have to BEG for some sort of sub- par service which is rediculous for a "5 star hotel". Not really sure where those 5 stars came from. Maybe they paid someone off to give them that review. But the service is equivalent to a 2 star hotel (from someone who travels frequently). If you're looking for a 5-star experience that is actually worth your money, I'd suggest the Pierre A Taj Hotel! WONDERFUL service that can't compare to the shit service 1-hotel offers read more

Beautiful restaurant. First time here but won't be my last. Service was impeccable, food amazing, atmosphere lovely.

We are big fans. So many places use cheap seed oil but here they can modify to cook in butter or olive oil. The organic chicken and bison burger are awesome. The cookie plate was a perfect ending read more

Yum! Located at the base of a cute boutique hotel I believe is called "1" - Jams is cute and has a neat vibe going on with some lovely outdoor patio seating with great people-watching. Nice menu with a pretty balanced amount of items to please most palettes. I ordered the warm coffee muffin as a starter, a coffee, and the yogurt parfait with fresh berries. I didn't see any photos of the parfait on yelp so I wasn't able to "try before buying" like I usually do - but I guessed it would be OK and it was. Fresh delicious blackberries, strawberries and blueberries with a decent portion of granola and yogurt. The granola was fresh and crunchy and the yogurt had a buttery coconut flavor to it. I had some fresh honey on the side to drizzle on top and it was heaven! Really good. Smaller portion though for $14 so it's tough to make that a meal on its own. My husband ordered the breakfast sandwich which was a brioche bun with eggs (he did egg whites), fried ham, cheese and greens. Really good and the bun was delicious! Their coffee was great and the inside/outside areas are beautiful with greenery everywhere and updated cups and nice tables. Our waiter was great and we had a nice experience here with a nice pace for the service and food. read more

We stopped in for a drink after a Central Park walking tour. We enjoyed the drinks so much we decided to come back the next morning for breakfast. We asked the hostess and she recommended we make a reservation, we are glad we did. The place was jumping at 9:15 in the morning. The place is warm and inviting. There are probably a thousand house plants lining the walls, not to mention the plants outside on the patio. It creates a different vibe from what's going on outside. Our server quickly had coffees on the table. I ordered the avacado toast on sourdough. My wife was unsure so asked the server for a recommendation and she quickly said to try the chia pudding. The toast was generously loaded with very chunky guacamole and served with a side of green salad and sprouts. All very delicious and filling. The pudding came topped with fruit and nuts. My wife loved it. Every person we interacted with on both occasions were polite, friendly and eager to serve. I recommend the place and will eat there again. read more

It was a gorgeous Sunday morning, so my husband and I decided to enjoy the outdoors and Central Park so we made a reservation at Jams. As soon as we got in, we were immediately seated. The decor is very apothecary/lots of greenery- definitely a cute vibe. We were serviced immediately and ordered the full brunch and brioche French toast as well as their signature green juice. We got the food fairly quickly. I will say I really enjoyed the potatoes and the green juice as they were spectacular and filled with flavor. I get the hype about their brioche French toast. It comes out and it is a huge slab a French toast, but you are surprisingly shocked with how fluffy the texture is. On top of that when you dip it in the maple syrup, it is filled with flavor. The full breakfast brunch was good, it was nothing spectacular so I wouldn't order again. read more

Food just ok. Don't order the frittata- it was a total loser, dry salty omelette with very few mushrooms. Server not friendly or helpful. Table next to us corroborated that their meals were meh too. Maybe a bad day in the kitchen. Manager was great and took the frittata off our bill when we explained it was subpar. Not what we expected from a James Beard winner. read more

We came to this place because it had good reviews and it was closed to our hotel. It was so blah. For the price you pay, it's mediocre at best. We had the carbonara tortellini, risotto and kids pasta. All needed salt and pepper. The tortellini were awful. The kids pasta sauce tastes out of a can. The risotto was probably the best of the three but was missing spice. We ordered a side of French fries which was by far the best thing we ate. read more

First things first! Extremely expensive for what you get, or don't get. Six oysters for $24.00, & each the size of a nickel. Thus 4.00 each!! I think not! Ordered eggplant which looked attractive enough, but totally tasteless. Tried their sea bass, which was hard to cut, & virtually tasteless. Tiny round cheesecake with odd, though not unpleasant taste. If you go, the Lamb Shank is very very nice. My Marguerita was excellent. Close to $200.00 for one person! Pretty restaurant, pleasant servers. read more

Beautiful location. Managed to slide in for an early dinner right after the holiday. Hostess was charming. Apparently we were either brand loyal or all on the same page because chose three Jam's Fashioned cocktails (with the focaccia!) and three JW Organic Chicken (similar prep to Barbuto) and were in heaven. Flavors were spectacular as expected. Rhubarb Cobbler dessert wasn't as wonderful as I wanted it to be but Harry's Strawberries with pistachio gelato was a hit. Dinner was ~$80 each before tip. read more

Not accommodating at all staying at hotel no kids menu for breakfast. That's fine but they won't substitute anything and you end up paying $60 for kids eggs, potatoes, and bread. Entire menu then becomes a la carte. Waiters aren't helpful at all and the food is extremely average. read more

Lovely decor -- very green, calming and airy brunch cafe. Ideal for a work lunch or to do work alone, enjoying some coffee or tea!

Part of my recent NYC visit I stayed at 1 hotel and Jams was the restaurant at the property. My hotel was really close to Sarabeth's but decided to try out Jams because of convenience and good reviews on Google . To be honest, I left really perplexed. I think I set my expectations too high and then when I got my food ..it didn't meet what I had imagined. I think this place is doable if you want to hang out with your friends for coffee and maybe get some pastries. Food : 3/5 Mushrooms Frittata 3/5 - looked like a flat pancake. Was lacking some moisture almost as if over cooked. Missing seasoning ..had to add salt . Was expecting more and left flat . Not recommended. Kale salad 3/5 - take a look at pictures.. shredded up kale and some parmesan + dressing. It was savory and to the point. Nothing exciting but delivers pure kale . Not recommended. Fruit cup 3/5 - take a look at the pic. It's a small mix of fruit cut up in a glass cup. Everything tasted fresh, not more to say here. Crumble muffins: 3/5 - I'm not sure if they make these in-house or get them from other places, but it's above average pastry and inline with what I would expect for New York..nothing special. Interior: 5/5 Probably the best part about this restaurant is the interior. If you wanted to just pick up some coffee and maybe a pastry, this is the perfect place to go. I really love the vibe of this place. The interior is mindful about sustainability, the use of authentic materials and integrates a lot of plants and greenery. It has a very warm and cozy feel. read more

Wen't to Jams for dinner on a Saturday for a friends birthday & we enjoyed it. We love the greenery covered interior design as well as the beautiful patio. The place is spacious for large gathering. Its open & cosy at the same time. Food was fresh & locally source. I tasted both the chicken & fish main course & both were good. The salad appetizer came in good portion & equally tasty. I got no sweet tooth but my table mates all enjoyed their dessert. Our waitress was attentive & we don't feel rushed to leave right away after we were done. We had reservation, and they allowed us to proceed to our seats before all parties arrived, which we appreciate. The price was on the higher end of the spectrum but worth it for the service & the food. Would come back for special occassions. read more

Great breakfast at Jams. The eggs Benedict had great hollandaise sauce with just enough lemon to create the perfect level of tartness. I had to order potatoes as I'm not a fan of salad for breakfast.

Went for a late lunch today and it was genuinely the worst service I've had in years. We had a server to start off then she disappeared waited for 25+ minutes to order and then ended up having to flag someone down to order. After no one check in on how our food was... had to flag a different person who wasn't even a server to get our bill. All the servers were very unfriendly. I will say the employees who clear the table and deliver the food were friendly and nice. Unfortunately though I wouldn't recommend! Food was average. Hummus was not good. read more
