Continuing on the Michelin list, we came here and loved it. The service was impeccable. We shared great conversations with our waiter and took him away from other tables. We ordered the 10 course meal and was able to substitute the lamp chops for wagu and foie Gras for salmon. The little surprises at the beginning, middle and ending really hit the spot. Sadly, I got so full from the free bread at the beginning that I was quite full by the third dish. But how do you resist freshly baked bread?! It'll always be a struggle for me. Overall all the dishes were tasty and creative. The mocktail options were lacking but it was a nice to be eating these meals again. read more

Taste: excellent - makes me grateful to be alive Value: expensive but worth it for special occasions and the excellent food Frequency: will try to come here 1-2 times a year to enjoy my favorite dishes Note that we had the 10-course prix fixe, but the incremental items compared to the 6-course pf were not our favorites. And the incredible EGG TOAST is no longer on the 10-course pf. So next time we return we are just going to get the 6-course pf. Favorite dishes 1. Egg toast - incredible bite of sous vide egg yolk that was made to have the consistency of cheese (there is no cheese in this but it tastes like there is) sandwiched with two thin pieces of brioche and a big serving (~0.3oz) of caviar on top 2. Hamachi ceviche - delicious ceviche. Will make you grateful to be alive 3. Sea bass - my god the sauce they used spoke to my soul. I drank every last drop of it. The pepper crusting on the sea bass was great 4. This mushroom soup that was very enjoyable Everything else was okay, but completely outshined by the top three above. In fact, writing this review after a few months since we went, I couldn't really remember what else we got until I went through my photos. So be prepared to have a foodgasm with those three and relatively muted reaction to everything else, unless of course the menu changes. Just to let you know what else we had: -Tuna noodles -Lamb -Vegetable dumplings -Langoustines read more

Celebrating my sisters 20th birthday! My parents and I got the 6 course tasting menu and my sister got the 10 course one. The foie gras and the 3 piece appetizer (uni, sea trout, soup) and the caviar egg toast stand out the most to me. The foie gras is very rich and creamy and goes well with the bread under. Same can be said for the egg toast too. The egg yolk is nicely cooked and maintains the soft creaminess, complimented by the caviar on top. Regardless, other courses have been really disappointing. They repeatedly come with this green sauce with a mint/cilantro base and a sour cream sauce, which gets pretty sickening and uncomfortable to eat because of its reoccurrence. The dishes also have uncreative plating. There are different dishes that come in the same plate, and the food doesn't look like they're placed with deliberation. Flavor wise, most dishes lack depth in their taste. They taste very one dimensional (mostly tanginess, oiliness, and strong mint/cilantro flavor). Ambiance feels cheap like a hotel lobby. Overall, nothing here compares to the Michelin restaurants I've tried in Paris (e.g. Guy Savoy, David Toutain) and honestly any other Michelin restaurant in the U.S. It's the worst Michelin star restaurants I've been to. read more

The classy white table cloth decor with petite flower vases and elegant glass light votives was juxtaposed with a modern light fixture in the center of the dining room that reminded me of something from "War of the Worlds." But somehow it just worked. My top 3 dishes: 1. sea urchin and yuzu topped with caviar on a bed of crispy potato - the smooth, creamy mouth feel of the sea urchin and yuzu was balanced by the satisfying crunch of the potatoes and the potatoes also balanced the saltiness of the caviar and sea urchin perfectly. 2. yellowfin tuna ribbons garnished with radish on an avocado base in ginger dressing and chili oil - the fresh, hearty ribbons of tuna looked more like strands of noodles, adding more uniqueness to this bright, sashimi like dish eaten with chopsticks 3. Wagyu beef tenderloin with pastrami spices in a cucumber-jalapeño consommé - melt in your mouth tender beef with bit of kick that made it even more flavorful and not overly spicy. Almost like an elevated ropa vieja. It was an absolutely wonderful dining experience! Highly recommend read more

Right by Columbus Circle with the open glass ceiling, reserving dining atmosphere brings reasonable appetite. The tasting course is well constructed, except overuse of mints and herbs (only because I don't appreciate minty or strong scents of herbs) Each course is cleverly balanced and innovatory plated that calls for a sip of burgundy. Desserts are extraordinary with the culinary experimental efforts which is fun and scrumptious! Thanks for fantastic hospitality and great seeing you Chef Jean George! read more

The tasting menu, ambiance and the service are always excellent. This time the Sommelier recommended us an excellent wine bottle at the beginning, and the suggestion was perfect. The only downside was that a staff member recommended a glass of red wine at the end that didn't pair well with the last two courses at all. We should have asked the Sommelier! Nonetheless, we always adore the almond cakes that we take home - it prolongs the magnificent experience for the breakfast. read more

Now that the Covid rules changed two weeks ago, allowing indoor dining, I can finally return to this wonderful restaurant. Seating in the main dining area has been spread apart far enough that those hated plastic barriers are not necessary. The upside of this: during the few minutes when the troupe of goggled and masked servers are not in the dining area, one can look about. The only reminder of this horrible year outside the curtains is the JG-branded hand sanitizer on each table. This ambiance, along with, of course, the food and service is why we return. One couple across the room did not realize that the outdoor terrace menu is not available inside, just the three tasting menus: short, long and vegetarian. Hopefully the NYC outdoor portable heating laws will be addressed soon. As always, my deft, knowledgeable servers performed flawlessly with my delicious plates and wines. If only this amazing restaurant was on the ground floor of another NYC hotel. Any other. 2020 10 14. M2. read more

This was one of two of the only restaurants I've been to for indoor dining during covid. I came here for the tasting menu and was really impressed with the creativity, texture, and combination of flavors. Service was obviously great (you kind of have to be for a Michelin star restaurant) but I was impressed by their ability to improvise quickly. I don't eat nor like the taste of foie gras for animal cruelty reasons, but decided to just go with the flow and eat the dish anyway because it was part of the tasting. I took one bite and was like 'nope i can't do this nor stomach this'. They quickly brought out a steamed cabbage wedge for me, which is part of their traditional vegetarian tasting menu. SO GOOD! who knew cabbage, which is marginally a very cheap vegetable, could be made to be so delish? I'm very very impressed with the turnaround time but also the ingenuity of the dish. Also the espresso martinis here are delectable. Thank you, I will be back! read more

I was blown away by the beauty, superb service and the quality of food. This place is so elegant you feel like royalty eating here. Everything was absolutely perfect.

Great spot for a special occasion meal! Service is top notch and the food is delicious! My boyfriend had the 10 course meal and loved each item. I had the vegetarian tasting menu, while a couple things weren't mind blowing, they were all still very tasty. They also change up the menu fairly often, so there's always new things to try! I was starting to get pretty full after course 4, so don't be alarmed by the smaller portions. Loved the cute little desserts they brought out after our actual meals. Will definitely go back! read more

Amazing restaurant from amazing chef I've been going there for years and it has changed a little but the quality is always there Creative dishes Top of the top service read more

To begin with I loved the ambience and the service. I mean great service expected in some sense when going to a Michelin star restaurant but I can truly say there wasn't even a single disappointing moment. My husband and I went there for my birthday and were seated right in front of the globe structure and I loved the photo we got. We both got wine by the glass and I loved my Pinot. It was light and flavorful just the way I like it. We asked for the six course omnivore and we weren't stuffed but full after the meal. We started with the 1) amuse bouche - which included the crispy sushi and the wild mushroom tea. The wild mushroom tea was amazing. Unlike something I have tasted before. 2) we then were served the caviar and I honestly thought the preparation was even better than le bernardin. The flavor of the caviar mixed so well with the sea urchin and crispy potato. 3) next was the tuna ribbons which was also amazing. 4) one of my favorites was the king crab dumplings that came next. The squash and lemon flavors of the broth was amazing! 5) then came the sea bass which had a very flavorful crust. 6) we replaced the beef and my husband got the duck and I the lobster. I think the duck was better than the lobster. It had amazing flavors. The lobster was a much smaller piece. 7. And lastly one was the dessert - it had this super yummy red apple and green apple sorbet which I have never had before. This obviously was followed by a birthday chocolate mousse cake and more desserts and then we got almond cakes for the next morning. It was an awesome experience overall. Highly recommend this spot when there is a special occasion :) read more

Jean-Georges - French Near Me - New York, New York

The food was nothing remarkable and the service was sardonic at best. Altogether a waste of money. Felt more like an overpriced Las Vegas steakhouse than a Michelin rated establishment read more

New York's finest restaurants can be quite pricey so a great way to try them is for lunch. Jean Georges has a 3 course prix fixed lunch for $68. Great deal for a two starred Michelin restaurant! The decor at Jean Georges is spacious, modern, and light. There is plenty of space and during the day you could easily see the trees in Central Park through the large fro t windows. We had a prime table in the back of the room which was great for people watching. We were attended to by an entire team, but our head server always made us feel well cared for. One of my favorite parts of the meal was the amuse bouche. Who wouldn't like to get three little gifts from the chef, especially if they are extremely tasty? One was a piece of salmon on a rice cracker. Another was a bit of hummus dip with the most darling baby vegetables on the side. The third was a shooter of split pea soup. All were fabulous. For a starter, Husband ordered the Peektoe Crab Risotto. It had plenty of crab. What madevit extra special was the puffed rice and nori, which gave it a nice texture. I ordered Gulf Shrimp with Fiddlehead Ferns, Seed Yogurt Dressing, Soy Butter, and Sprouts. I had never had a fiddlehead ferns before so I looked it up and found out they are high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as iron and fiber. That was just a bonus as they work really well with the perfectly cooked shrimp and yogurt dressing. The only disappointing course was the main dishes. Husband ordered the Niman Ranch Beef Tenderloin. He said it was very good but not the "best cut of meat he has ever had". I ordered the Black Bass Crusted with Nuts & Seeds, Sweet and Sour Jus. It was an interesting dish. I thought the flavor of the au jus was good but the fish itself needed seasoning. The dish just really was not delicious to my taste buds. For dessert we fared much better. We actually got to try all three desserts on the lunch menu. My favorite was the Young Coconut Semifreddo, Fresh Tropical Fruit, Lime Curd. The dessert arrived as a big white ball on the plate. I tapped it open and inside was the sorbet and the fruit. The outside was the Semifreddo. It was a mesh of textures, cool, sweet, a little tart....maybe my favorite dessert presentation ever! The Dark Chocolate Mouse, Lime Mint Sorbet, Matcha Ice Cream was excellent. The Fraise Des Bois Tart, Braised, Rhubarb, Strawberry Sorbet, Green Tea Profiteroles was a good dessert, but not as great as the first two. The lunch was not perfect but overall it was a highly enjoyable experience. Already looking at places to try for our next NY visit. read more

...dang... how did I get such a poor experience here? The service ruined my experience here. For a 2 Michelin star restaurant, I can't believe they sent me home with petit fours so poorly packed. Especially after Le Bernardin gave me FRESH petite fours in a cute little box that has their logo on it. Also, don't really know why but my friend and I felt like the waiter did not like us at all. He was joking and chitchatting with the tables next to us but it was all business and fake smiles for us, it was the oddest thing ever. Their winter menu is basically an Asian inspired menu. And honestly, their food was super salted when my friend and I went. I couldn't stop drinking the water. I probably went to the restroom 5 times during my dinner there. And yes, we did ask them to be a bit lighter with the salt and they complied. We might've had a better experience if we had gotten the 4 course instead of their other menus. It looked like the other tables were enjoying their meals a lot more. I saw the table next to me get a delightful looking dessert that included an eclair and puffs and other chocolately things BUT I mistook that to be the taste of chocolate dessert that I was supposed to get. What I got resembled those dirt desserts with the crumbled oreos on top. Yup, picture my disappointment. My menu is like $100 more than the other one, can't I get a real tasting of chocolate? Not just a mound? Was all the food 1 Yelp star worth? No, it's still fancy dining. It's just that, paired with the service, the saltiness of the food, and the dessert heartbreak, this was my biggest regret of my trip and such a waste of money and time. read more

The new menu is absolutely fantastic. They are making an exemplary comeback. Not a single dish lacked in any way. Wife and I had the ten course menu and we were beyond stuffed. We were here last two years ago and were let down by the menu. This time it's a whole different story. They have really worked the menu to the point you can tell exactly what you are paying for. It's a must go. read more

Huzzah, review *500*! I hereby deem this Michelins for Milestones and will proceed to look for future milestones at a more frequent clip. I am neither a veteran or nor a total newcomer to the Michelin scene. When I dine out, I typically opt for restaurants that are solidly in the $$$ range. A la carte menus, still high-quality eats. On special occasions, though, I will start to consider more decorated options. I've eaten at Le Bernadin, Elevan Madison Park, Batard and Marea, as well as a few top tasting spots in Philadelphia. I've had a range of experiencing ranging from good to outstanding, and Jean-Georges falls somewhere in the middle. Between our two, 10-course menus, we tried 20 unique dishes (plus the extra 'lil ditties at the beginning and end), so I feel reasonably capable of speaking to the breadth and quality of the food here. We had a range of reactions -- all of them some degree of positive -- leaving stuffed and mostly satisfied. Between the status and cost, we expected a platinum-level experience. And it was very, very good. Worth the hefty price tag? Maybe at one point in history, but not fully convinced at the current time. Still, a positive experience overall. The dining room is elegant and far more intimate than most other Michelin spots I've visited, making it a fantastic option for special occasions and splurge dates. And it's fabulous for people-watching. Came here for Valentine's Day, which fell on a Friday this year -- fortuitous timing, given the imbibing we were planning on. Our table wasn't quite ready when we arrived, so we stepped into Nougatine while we waited. While I can't speak to the comestibles at Nougatine, the space seemed to be a force in its own right. Foreplay that could be just as the real thing, perhaps. In any case, a lovely setting to wait and ogle the plates of others. Once escorted to the luxury beyond the curtained walls, we found ourselves in a sophisticated, decked-out-in-all-reds-and-pinks dining room complete with petals strewn about. Not overdone, but classy and romantic. After hanging for a bit without making contact with a server, we finally received some water and put in cocktails. I started with the Shiso G&T, which was just okay. The bf got a rum-based/tropical drink that was fantastic, not on the current online menu but keep an eye out for it. After some wine, I finished the night with the Lychee-Raspberry Bellini, which was fresh and fruity and delightful. Highly recommend. As a whole, if you're opting for a 10-course over a six-course, I'd recommend going by-the-glass for everything unless you're *really* a wine pairing person. The wine pairing option is set at a dizzying price and it would probably be more cost-effective to get 1-2 cocktails plus 1-2 glasses of wine for way cheaper. That's how we did it and it proved to be a good system. The wine list here is classic: lots of recognizable French stuff, including quite a number of Chardonnays. It would be exhausting and silly to review each of the 20 dishes we tried between the two of us: JG has plenty of reviews and my two cents on the food is likely not going to change anyone's ideas about the restaurant. I will express my gratitude for JG's willingness to cater to vegetarians: the veggie dishes were just as formidable as the meat-centric ones, and certainly more colorful. As I'm sure many have mentioned, the excellence in technique here is hard to ignore. The variety of ingredients called on is equally impressive, though dare I say there was an overuse of truffles on this particular night? Blasphemy, I know. We had a special Valentine's Day menu that I'm unable to access currently, so I'll just recount a few highlights. Overall, the dishes are varied and well-executed. The 10-course will leave you pretty darn full so don't fill up on bread or other nonsense. Here are just a few of the night's stars: -Cremini and Black Trumpet Mushrooms -Roasted Butternut Squash -Sea Urchin w/ trout sushi -Baked Oysers -Langoustine If you're looking to hang your hat on one thing here, you can safely expect the seafood to be outstanding. JG has a lifelong love of seafood (the Fulton being a prime example of this) and knows how to construct thoughtful plates that showcase all nuances that marine life has to offer. Lastly, the service. You know when an Amtrak is delayed getting to your station and it becomes inevitable that the tardiness will continue its exponential expansion and then you get to your destination 90 minutes late? Well, that's sort of what it felt like here. Sure, we opted for the 10-course so of course that's a time commitment, but we had an 8:45 reservation and left a hair after 12. I appreciate getting time to digest, but I don't want to be falling asleep by dessert. A minor bone to pick, though, because the servers themselves were overall very pleasant and helpful. An institution and classic NYC experience, Jean-Georges receives this coveted 500th review, in gratitude. read more

We had an outstanding meal at Jean-Georges in celebration of our 30th birthdays. We opted for the four-course prix fixe lunch menu. We enjoyed a palate cleanser "mushroom tea" to start. Then, we were brought the bread course with three different types of bread, butter, and sea salt flakes. We looooove bread in general (and also this bread), so we were excited to see they replaced with a new piece of bread after each we finished. My husband opted for the omnivore menu, and I chose the vegetarian menu. My courses were the brussels sprouts brochette, caraflex cabbage, roasted butternut squash, and cranberry and pistachio dessert. His courses were the Foie gras brulee, peekytoe crab risotto, roasted beef tenderloin, and chocolate dessert. Since I'm pescatarian, I tried the peekytoe crab risotta, and it was divine! However, my absolute favorite course was the caraflex cabbage. GET THIS! I know cabbage sounds like a boring throwaway course, but it was creamy flavorful perfection. This dish is definitely one of my top dishes I tried in 2019. (Shoutout to our lovely server, also named Carolyn, for the ordering recommendation!) Service was outstanding from start to finish. We felt very well taken care of throughout the meal--and we would expect no less from a $$$$ restaurant with two Michelin stars. I'd mentioned to them that we were celebrating a milestone birthday, and they wished us happy birthday, then later brought out two additional desserts with candles to celebrate. I had a vegan coconut cream dessert filled with fresh mango and kiwi, and my husband had a delicious rich chocolate mousse dessert shaped like a present. Adorable presentation, great taste! The mignardises came out at the end, too, so at one we had six desserts out on the table. We somehow managed to finish it all! I HIGHLY recommend Jean-Georges for lunch and for a special occasion. Tip: Don't forget to dress up! My husband wore a jacket. That being said, we didn't feel the ambiance was snooty or pretentious at all. read more

Sorry Sorry Sorry, the experience is way below what we were charged. Have a season tasting menu which is $248ppl, but everything is really juso so, normal ingredient cooked in a old school way, overall sour and tangy flavor. Nothing really memorable. And service is so bad!! 1. no one clean the table between each course 2. Was asked how was the the food, I said as a Michelin2 star restaurant, I expected more, and someone should clean the table ASAP, and the waiter immediately refuted "I ask you about food" not a sorry. 3. Without asking I am done or not, try to clean the plate for me. Will never go back !! read more

Gorgeous restaurant in a beautiful hotel overlooking Columbus Circle. Martinis were on-point and the dining greenhouses on the terrace added to the festive atmosphere.

JG has become our annual Valentine's Day dinner restaurant. However, this time we had to enjoy take out because of the pandemic. I definitely missed the atmosphere but dinner at home was still amazing. Also, everything was packaged great. Hands down the best take out presentation. TUNA TARTARE - I am not a fan of raw food but this was very fresh and easy to eat. MUSHROOM RISOTTO - My least favorite dish simply because of the mushy / chewy texture but the flavor was great. Can't go wrong with truffles. PEPPERCORN STEAK - The steak was so tender and juicy even after I heated it up. I loved the sriracha sauce but it was definitely very spicy. I recommend using it sparingly if you shy away from spice. STEAMED BASS - This dish was simply cooked fish, with minimal seasoning. It was good, just not a " WOW " like the other dishes. PETIT GATEAUX - AMAZINGGGGG !!!!!! That's all. read more

I've been to multiple work lunches at Jean-Georges and always leave extremely impressed and satisfied. To begin with, the dining room is beautiful and airy with white furniture and beautifully detailed white plates and bowls. It is probably one of the most beautiful dining rooms in any NYC restaurant I have been to. I usually order the four-course omnivore meal and this time had: - Crab Appetizer: I chose the crab salad appetizer which came with pieces of mango which complemented the crab perfectly and made the whole dish feel fresh. There was also a mustard butter that was delicious and did not make the dish feel heavy. - Amuse Bouche: As a complementary part of the meal, they brought shrimp on toast and spicy salmon with crispy rice. The salmon with crispy rice was delicious and probably one of my favorite bites of the meal. - Sweet & Sour Bass: I've ordered this fish multiple times, which means a lot. I usually only try things once but the sauce on this fish is so amazing I keep ordering it. The fish is coated in nuts and seeds and is accompanied by mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. MUST get this if it's on the menu! - Dessert: The dessert came with a ribbon of pink cotton candy and a marshmallow, gooey cream. It was very pretty but probably prettier than it was delicious. They end every meal with chocolates and homemade gummy bears served on a silver stand. It's a fun way to end the meal and people can usually barely finish these little bites because they're so full! read more

One of the best tasting meals I've had in a while (better than French laundry, alinea in my opinion) but I understand why Jean-George has 2 Michelin stars rather than 3. I very much enjoyed the tuna noodles and egg toast and also liked how we were able to sub out some items. Well initially surprised that there was no set wine pairing, it was nice with a larger group of five people to buy individual bottles which definitely brought the cost of our alcohol down substantially as well, and was also nice that there were some unique bottles at reasonable prices. However, service was inconsistent, noticeably so. Also the pace of dinner was not great- we asked how long 10 courses would be, and was told both "well under 3.5 hours" and "around 2.5." We were there for about 4.5. In the first hour, we had 3 courses which felt very slow. Aside from pace, multiple times our group was served at different times, waiting on a sauce to be poured, or missing a dish. Additionally, we had to ask twice for a cocktail we ordered. Wasn't the end of the world but when you're spending thousands on dinner, you expect perfection. Lastly, Jean George is in the Trump Tower. Enough said. read more

First of all, first impression was automatically wrong - greeting staff was rude, we came 20 minutes early from our reservation time thinking we could wait for our guests at the bar or maybe a lounge area. They told us to stand in the corner because the bar was full.... Well there are no chairs, no bench, no where to stand. I stood outside to get fresh air during covid where everyone is crammed in a stiff waiting "area" whatever you want to call it. Wild for a high end restaurant people rave about. Serving staff was amazing, so kind, very knowledgeable. Dishes were 4 out of 10 - we ordered different plates, maybe 3 were good out of 6! No music, no vibe, stuffy. And food was average. I'm not a food critic but felt the need to write a review because this hype is overrated. I went to McDonald's after. read more

Like everyone in New York, I had heard great things about this restaurant for a long time. I tried it last night with my girlfriend for my birthday and it was amazing. We had an 8:30 reservation so didn't do the 10 course primarily because it would have taken too long. We did the 6 course option which was delicious filling. The pumpkins desert was probably my favorite item. They have these weird cubbies where you can sit.. we were first sat there and then moved to a normal table. At the cubby when we first sat there were dirty napkins on our bench which isn't what you want at a place like this. Everything else was great though read more

Before we get going, this place is expensive. So I'm not saying the value is awesome here since there are many good Michelin restaurants, but I was not mad about what I paid for. This meal was so incredibly fantastic. I read reviews before coming here that the food was phenomenal but the dishes weren't particularly inventive. I would agree with that sentiment 90% because there were a few dishes here and there that were intriguing. But it is also comforting to be blown away by familiar flavors prepared perfectly. We did the 10 course omnivore menu and it was so much food. Too much for me. If I went again, I would do the 6, but be sad I missed out on the other dishes. The amuse boché was amazing. The pea soup with the Parmesan cloud was perfect pea flavor and salty. The trout crispy rice with chipotle sauce was my husband's favorite bite of the meal. It was followed by the caviar egg toast which was the perfect combination of textures, salinity, and salt. It's hard to recall all of the dishes, but a few more stand out ones were: -crab risotto with fennel and mushroom (our favorite main dish -langostine with fennel 2 ways -fois gras with olive salt and lychee jelly We switched out one of our desserts for the chocolate lava cake since Jean Georges claims to have invented it. I don't know if I buy that, but it was the perfect chocolate dessert. Some less awesome (but still good) dishes were -the tuna ribbons with avocado, they said this is a staple and has been on the menu since opening...honestly, take it off -duck with strawberry sauce. The sauce wasn't that sweet or strawberry flavored and didn't add much to the duck. I wish it had been a glaze or something more concentrated read more

I had a great birthday celebration dinner here. We ordered the ten course omnivore tasting and everything was so delicious. My favorite dishes of the night were the madai ceviche and the lamb, but really everything was amazing. Ten courses is a lot of food, towards the end I was not able to finish all of the dishes and we even ended up taking most of the lamb to go, but I am glad we chose that over the 6 course as it was great to be able to try everything. read more

Wow! I had wanted to come here for a long time and when we decided to grab a reservation for a special event seating, I was excited. JG lives up. Amazing tasting menu from start to finish. Literally some of the best food I've had in my life. Husband had the wine parings and the pours were insane -- and not just the quantity but also quality. The somm did a great job and it was so well paired all night. The service was perfect. They definitely deserve their two Michelin stars. I would not be shocked if they again get their third star back. It's on par with Per Se, our other favorite. We will go back next time we are in town and hopefully the consistency will mean another experience like this one. Highly recommended. read more

Quite a culinary experience! Each dish was very intricate and had great depths of flavors. Amazing service and I was quite full after all the courses.

What a wonderful place with exquisite cuisine. I have fond memories here with my ex-boyfriend. We used to stop by Jean-Georges every weekend for dinner. Customer service here is always top-notch.

We came for lunch on a weekend and the experience was better than expected! The dining room is gorgeous and every dish was beautifully presented AND delicious. The butternut squash ravioli is so unique, my husband names it as his favorite thing he ate this entire new york trip. Service was mostly great, but they did miss a lot of minor things throughout the meal which was surprising for a 2 michelin star. Not a huge deal, and it didn't bother us, but it is something we noticed since they lost a star recently. The food, by-all-means, is fantastic. AND! it's only $68 for the 4-course lunch (before any supplements). read more

I got the 6 course omnivore meal and I have to say it was truly amazing and probably the beat food I've had ever. Look is this your Tuesday dinner spot? no. But is it the perfect place for getting dressed up for a big celebration? Absolutely. Egg Toast: should it feel a little wrong to eat a tiny grilled cheese like sandwich topped with a healthy serving of caviar? Maybe, but it was too delicious for me to notice. Tuna noodles: incredibly fresh and delicious. Green asparagus: This should be the most boring part of the meal (the required veggies), but it was so GOOD. Probably my second favorite part of the meal. The morels and sauce were truly amazing. Sea bass: fresh fish and the ginger definitely has a great punch to it. Duck Breast: Easily my favorite part of the meal. So perfectly prepared. Black Forest: I am typically not a cherry fan, but I may now be a convert this dessert was so good. Not the mention it looked like it could be a Pokémon character, I loved it. The blueberry/lavender candy is also a must. So light but sweet and flavorful. You may have noticed I didn't take pictures of everything, because I got a little to impatient and excited at some courses. Sorry!! After this dinner my Stomach: full Palate: overjoyed Night: made Wallet: empty read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner here on my birthday back in May because he knows that I (as does he) think Jean-Georges Vongerichten is one cool guy. The whole main dining room experience from the service to the food was nothing short of amazing. We both thoroughly enjoyed our first three Michelin star experience here and believe that rating to be well deserved. It was definitely a great way to celebrate my 27th! We decided to go with the three dish Prix Fixe Menu plus dessert tasting ($148pp), and were super stuffed towards the end of our meal. The food was SO stinking delicious. We ordered the Foie Gras Terrine, Sea Urchin, Diver Scallops, Pan Roasted Wild Hake, Black Sea Bass, Dry Aged Prime Ribeye (+$30supp), Dark Chocolate Mousse, and the Tropical Fruit. Let me tell you, that Black Sea Bass was some of the best, most perfectly cooked fish I've ever had and the Foie Gras Terrine was amazing and tasted almost like creme brulee. We both really savored every single bite of each beautifully prepared dish. The amuse bouche here and there and the complimentary birthday dessert made us two very full, very happy people. read more

One of the best dining experiences ever! My fiance and I decided to do the Lunch Prix Fixe here on a Saturday afternoon after our engagement shoot at Central Park. We treated our friend as well because she did our photos for free. $68 for the prix fixe lunch meal is definitely a win for us (cuz engagement photos range from $400-$600 for 90min-2 hrs). We were 15 minutes late but the hostess didn't give us any problems and brought us to our table right away - we had to walk through Nougatine to get to Jean Georges. When our hostess slid the doors open, we were greeted with a bright and lively room. Our waitress was very attentive, helpful and not overbearing. She popped in at the right moments and shared her recommendations based on our preference. 1. Caviar Egg Toast - We added the caviar toast ($78, more than our prix fixe) and shared amongst the 3 of us. There was 3 perfectly cooked yokes sandwiched between 2 pieces of crispy toast and a generous dollop of caviar was perched on top. The yoke was cooked perfectly; we were amazed how the yokes kept its' nice plump shape while still being soft and jiggly. If you're feeling over the top like us or celebrating something, it's definitely worth it. 2. Santa Barbara Uni - super fresh, creamy, and sweet! 3 pieces of uni sat on a small piece of toast which added a nice crunch with the creamy uni. 3. Tuna Ribbons w/ Avocado (fiance's)- Generous amount of tuna ribbons sitting on top of an avocado puree in a ginger marinade. The ginger marinade had a nice spicy kick to it. 4. Beef Medallion with a Poached Daikon Radish in a mustard broth - the beef medallion pair well with the mustard broth, which gave it a nice kick. The beef medallion was a little chewy for me. The daikon radish gave it a nice sweetness to cut the broth. Overall, the flavors were nicely balanced. 5. Chocolate dessert - it was chocolate in all shapes, sizes, and form. It was paired with passion fruit sauce so that tartness helped with the bitterness and richness from the chocolate. At the end of the dessert, we also had a dessert tray with 2 types of homemade gummy bears, 2 truffles, homemade Madagascar vanilla bean marshmallows (THIS WAS SO CLOUDY AND DREAMY). Our waitress also presented us with a chocolate mousse to congratulate us on our engagement. The overall experience was amazing- from the attentiveness of our wait staff, to the little details of our dishes, we really enjoyed our meal. Fine dining isn't just about the food, but the overall experience. Jean-Georges really went above and beyond! read more
