Nice ambiance, very good food. I stopped by as part of a reservation for a group of 6 for brunch on a Saturday, and it was not entirely busy, mostly since it's a pretty large space. I had the eggs benedict with chili hollandaise, which was a little pricey but quite good, aside from the eggs being slightly overcooked. I also sampled my friend's Taste of Winter menu, who ordered the yuzu calamari, the fried chicken, and carrot cake dessert. The calamari was very well done, being very delicately breaded and the yuzu flavored foam pairing very well. The fried chicken was also very flavorful and not too dry, while the carrot cake was a unique interpretation of the typical dessert but still very tasty. I thought the 3 course meal was pretty good value and delicious, and I'd come back to try more from that menu for another meal. read more

Unfortunately, I have to give this a one star rating due to the fact I got food sickness from the calamari. I did enjoy my experience at the restaurant as the staff were very friendly, the presentation was fantastic and the food did taste well in addition to a great bottle of riesling we had with our meal. However, my experience over the 48 hours that followed was not pleasant and although this was in early December, I have not been able to eat calamari since and it has always been one of my favorites. Perhaps it was the combo of mixing the sea food with the sesame puffed cream. Regardless, I cannot give Perry St. a great rating, perhaps in the case that I return they will be able to justify Jean Georges credibility. read more

I'll have to admit, I had high expectations for Perry Street so know that when reading this review. We went there on Christmas Eve for a nice dinner. We had to wait about thirty minutes for our table, even though we had a reservation. The staff was great and the atmosphere is well done. The food was good, but I am only giving four stars because the apps and dessert were really good, but I think the dinner was lacking. I had the lamb chops, which were perfectly cooked, but flavor of the meat and beans were lacking. My wife had the lobster and again, well cooked, but the flavor needed more. If they could get the main course down this place is an easy five star. I would go there again. read more

Beautiful upscale restaurant with a trendy vibe. Loved the water server and bus boy. Our waitress was horrible but the food was delicious and prepared perfectly! Would love to go back when we are in town. Definitely recommend!! read more

I thought this restaurant week dinner was an excellent value. $35 gets you 4 courses, all of which are bursting with flavor and made from great ingredients. I love places that allow you to get wine in 2.5oz tasting portions so you can easily create your own pairings for each course. Make sure you get the cod, the ribs, and the chocolate if those are still on the menu. All done top-notch. I would go back if I ever needed a go-to place on the west-side highway. read more

The thing I love about Perry Street is that everything seems to be just right - nothing breathtakingly irresistible, but nothing slightly disappointing. The restaurant sits right on the West Side Highway, which makes it seem peaceful and removed from the village noise. In the evening, the floor to ceiling windows capture a beautiful sunset glow, which casts a perfect tint on the light/khaki decor inside. The design is minimalistic yet made cozy by sunflower bouquets. The food is a unique and adventurous take on casual foods - fried chicken, cream of tomato, calamari... An absolutely amazing dish was a decomposed crab salad with Champagne foam, which had me really, really tempted to order seconds. A great place for special occasions. read more

No it's not the apartment building located on Perry Street, which you would think would be seeing the name is "Perry St", but no...it's the chic, floor-to-ceiling-window venue just west along the highway. So don't be confused. Upon arrival the bar and a quaint low seating lounge is in my immediate view. I like this place already. Quick access to tasty cocktails while I wait for a table are always a plus in my book. I love any place that exudes trendiness and swank, and paired with an attractive crowd (well...attractive and rich) is hitting the bulls eye. We were seating on time by a more than chipper hostess, and quickly greeted by a kind waiter who seemed to be poorly attempting to withhold his frustrations with the restaurant week crowd. Feeling the pressure, we decided to order an extra appetizer, one of the more expensive ones, but I'm glad we did. The crispy sliced ahi was delish, and I could have easily devoured an entire plate of the unique and fresh concoction. Is this rice crispy cereal on this fish? I had no clue, but it was excellent and that's all I cared about at this point. After just 2 cocktails I already had a buzz. Bravo Perry St. Dinner (Cod) was perfectly cooked and well accompanied with some brocollirab and sauce. The nice thing about restaurant week is you get to try things that aren't normally on their regular menu, hence my excitement with the cod. Dessert followed and we left drunk, fat (but not uncomfortably fat) and happy. :) read more

Decent decor, Hard to get to, Wasn't totally impress w/ food This place is literally the middle of nowhere. Just looking at it on Google Maps made me decide to cab here. Came here for restaurant week w/ my gf Anna and 4 friends from Jeff C.'s meetup group. We bumped into Gene and walked over to the restaurant (didn't know the cab drop us a block and 1/2 away). With 20+ mph wind and temperatures 10 below freezing, I felt the chill going through my bones each time the wind blew in from the Hudson. Good thing it was ephemeral. Once we finally got inside (trying to open their 2nd set of doors was tricky, it felt like it was immovable, like you're pulling on a ton of bricks), we waited for everyone to show up in the waiting area. The restaurant is lit dimly, but I didn't feel it was use to enhance ambiance, more like to hide the imperfections (probably because its too dim). I did notice one cool thing though. They had a really large cherry blossom plant in a square shape pot. Gene went over to double checked it was real, and it was. They sat us on the corner table of their restaurant. It was a circular table with a circular bench around it. It looks nice, but I thought it felt a little odd, and I didn't figure it out until we were leaving the restaurant. Our table had a overhanging lamp that almost look like a spotlight when compare in terms of brightness to every other table. On to the food, our RW menu included: Pumpkin Squash soup Amuse bouche - Good, very similar to what I had at David Burke Townhouse Roasted Beet Salad ricotta and crystallized wasabi - The beet and the ricotta goes so well, and the wasabi just give it the perfect kick. The walnuts hidden under the ricotta gives it a nice texture. The only thing is I felt like I was cutting a cake cuz beet were serve in 2 huge chunks. If the beet was slice in very thin layers to keep the shape, but save on the cutting, this would be perfect Sautéed Shrimp baby artichokes, lemon fennel vinaigrette and paprika - tried dish from my gf's dish. Its good, but small portion almost make you confuse it w/ an amuse bouche. Glazed Short Ribs lightly pickled asian pears and parsnips - Good flavor, but a bit on the tough side. I wasn't expecting a workout on a Friday. Salmon - My gf gave me a big piece. I think we should have switch our entree. I like this because it was just slightly flaky, but still quite tender Molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream - Delicious, but the walls of chocolate cake was a bit thick, and the molten chocolate didn't ooze out but more like dripped out. It was still pretty good w/ the vanilla ice cream I guess my expectations were over the top after nougatine, and I thought their menu was a bit skimpy when I first laid eyes on it. I don't think I will go back, but I won't completely cross it off my list. read more

I've been to Jean-George in Columbia Circle, so I was expecting the same vibe, on a lessery level because I went there for lunch during restaurant week (more like restaurant month - thank you recession). The decor is very minimal and simple, clean. The server seemed very timid and unsure of himself, but still did what he needed to do. The prix fixe menu was decent - I order the pancakes and gravlax, both of which were delicious. The portions were good, and the molten chocolate cake was very decadent. One thing that threw me off, but I suppose shouldn't have surprised me, was that there was a large group of tweeny girls that was sat in the booth on the corner. It just didn't seem like the kind of place for the younger palate, so I'm just assuming they're all privileges brats that insist on having poached eggs with caviar and creme fresh for their brunches. No judgement there. read more

To sum dinner up in one word: wow. Perry St. was an incredible experience, I think first and foremost since when I asked what vegetarian dish could be made for me and the answer was: anything. As in any dish on the menu could be made veg friendly. I had the preparation of the salmon with tofu, which was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. Between my boyfriend and another couple, they had the black truffle cod, the butter poached lobster, avocado and king oyster mushroom carpaccio, squash soup, and the beef entree, all which were cleared. I also had the pudding, which was unreal and topped with a white chocolate mousse. While others said the service was pushy, we had a wonderful waitress, who kept the pace of our meal enjoyable and not rushed at all. Def pricey but worth it. It's a bit of a trek from the train, so taking a cab is probably your best option. read more

I had dinner with my roommate here for Restaurant Week, and overall our dining experience was satisfactory. The service is really great, and the ambiance is laid-back but trendy and a little romantic. The space is surprisingly smaller than I'd anticipated, far fewer tables than I would have thought, which I actually found endearing. The strawberry and basil gazpacho for the amuse-bouche was refreshing and very summery, a nice jump-start for the palate. The peekytoe crab salad app was fantastic - light, subtle, and well-balanced - and the mango and asparagus in the dish were a perfect complement to the crab without being overwhelming. The fried chicken was a little on the dry side for my taste, but the sauce on the side provided a real kick of flavor that, along with the sweet corn, tempered an otherwise underwhelming reaction to the dish. To be fair though, my roommate and I both grew up in the south, so our expectations of fried chicken are a little higher than most. The warm chocolate cake was a delight, so sweet and rich and sinful that it pulled me straight out of a chocolate dessert rut I've been in lately. Given my high praise of the service and most of the food, I'm sure it seems odd that I've marked this only as three stars. I did find the food enjoyable and certainly wouldn't mind having the crab salad and chocolate cake again soon, but I did feel a little underwhelmed at the end of the meal. Everything was certainly good, just not mind-blowing. I wouldn't mind going back to Perry Street, but the food wasn't earth-moving like I had hoped. Overall a decent meal and experience, just not one I'd gush about and badger my friends to try. read more

(More like 4.5 stars- I really wish there were half stars by the way) I really enjoyed myself here- the dinner was delicious, the ambiance was nice and the service was attentive. I had a chicken soup that was really interesting and equally tasty. The way they served it was pretty cool. They poured the broth into the bowl that already had all of the "soup contents". The croutons were my favorite part of the soup because they were still slightly crispy. My date had an angel food cake dessert that was completely overpowered by star anise so that was a bit of a bummer. Other than that, the food was really great. Excellent restaurant for a first date. Not too loud, good soft lighting and a pretty extensive wine list to make the night run a little more smoothly. read more

I had high hope for this Jean Georges restaurant, and they met pretty much them all, but a screwup is a screwup. I'm a classic martini kinda gal, but they got me hooked on this fig thyme martini, so yummy! The apps were all wonderful, red snapper sashimi, seared ahi tuna and tomato soap. I know they have all been done, but honestly, better than everywhere. The beef tenderloin, lamb dish were great too. But believe it or not, the chicken was outstanding! It almost didn't taste like chicken!! Too moist, the white meat was too flavorful?! Then the screwup came, my friend ordered dessert, just ice cream. Well, the ice cream was good, just that there were couple of small pieces of plastic in the ice cream. We thought it was glass at first, but imagine the horror of encountering that in a Jean Georges restaurant?! Of course they take that off our bill, but still I'm disappointed. read more

I had the privilege of dining at Perry Street the other night, actually by accident. My friends and I had plans to go to the Spotted Pig nearby, and of course, because they refuse to take reservations there was a 2 hour wait. So, a quick search on Yelp led me to a restaurant that I had on my to-do list for ages. Well, I remembered why once we got inside the stark modern pretentious hotel-like interior: Perry Street is part of the Jean Georges Empire. And it did not fall short of my elevated expectations. To start we shared a few appetizers, the highlight of which was the crispy poached eggs with caviar and vodka cream. I want to spread that vodka cream on every piece of bread I eat from now on. The entrees we sampled at our table were equally tasty: butter poached lobster with lemongrass and lime broth and potato ravioli, grilled Colorado lamb chops with caramelized brussels sprouts and pistachio pesto, and for me- don't judge- the organic fried chicken with Meyer lemon marmalade, crispy black trumpet stuffing and mashed potato. Each dish had something surprising, yet maintained a refined balanced approach to what would otherwise be considered some pretty heavy dishes. Bottom line: save up some money that will be well-spent and go here. read more

Upscale but not stuffy, Perry St is the perfect combination of food, ambiance, service to wow your out-of-town guests. Unlike most other restaurants in the West Village, it's never cramped and tables are almost always available, though it's prudent to make a reservation for dinner or brunch on the weekend. Great place for a larger (but not-too-boisterous!) group. Best dishes we've had: Appetizers: Crispy Calamari with Yuzu dipping sauce; Burrata; Butternut Squash Soup Main Dishes: the Crispy Fried Chicken with Scotch Bonnet Sauce gives a whole new meaning to the otherwise unfortunate phenomenon of "fried chicken"; the Slowly Cooked Salmon is delicious and always cooked to perfection; the Butter Poached Lobster is to die for. The $28 prix fix lunch and brunch on Sat/Sun is an outstanding value. read more

We went to JG west-side creation... Perry St. ... we went there with high expectations... after-all it was a JG restaurant. Okay may be our expectation was too high... Well to be honest the food was satisfying but not all that delicious. Hey don't get me wrong it was good but not what I expected. Something was missing we expected so much more. We ordered: Crispy Poached Eggs- Excellent! Hey if your gonna pay 29 dollars for and appetizer it better be frenkn' good! Well worth the money! Crusted Tuna- was decent but felt the sauce that came with this appetizer really didn't go well with the tuna. Hagi (fish)- A seasonal fish not on the menu. It was just ok a but on the sweet and spicy side. not great but decent. Molten lava cake- Can't ever go wrong with molten lava cake. Not on the menu its a "special order." Wonderfully rich and decadent. Argh! A bit of a disappointment. Come on JG ! Perry St could and should be better than this!!! read more

[4.5 stars] I went to Perry Street for last summer's Restaurant Week after hearing great things from my roommate. I was not disappointed. My friend and I had to wait for the rest of our party before we could be seated so we ordered drinks. It's been a while so I don't remember what I drank but it was pink and bubbly. My friend also ordered a simple cocktail, probably a cosmo, and we were pleased with the price and the drinks themselves. As soon as our party arrived we were seated at a cozy circular booth. I believe I had the tuna tartar for an appetizer, the cod for my entree and something delightfully sweet and chocolate for dessert (I think it was a molten cake of some sort-amazing!). The cod was beyond excellent. It was accompanied by the most delicious side of mashed potatoes with this peculiar tangy green sauce. All in all a great dish! The interior is very sleek and modern. Nothing ornate or extravagant--very different from Vong. It is surrounded by glass windows which is perfect because you can see the water right outside. I took away .5 stars though because the location is a bit obscure (which can also be a plus) so it was difficult to find. However, it is a quiet and unique location--almost doesn't feel like you're in NYC anymore. I guess it has its pros and cons. I was just annoyed because I was wearing heels and there was construction and cobblestone on the way to find the restaurant. I'd still go again though! :) read more

Perry Street... a street I live on, a restaurant I came to. Despite having claims to one Michelin Star, there is simply no airs about this Jean-Georges' establishment where the lovely hostess never fails to get your door, and mind you it is a heavy door esp with the strong winds blowing in from the Hudson. Had the following (rank-ordered) in terms of my personal preference Home made Burrata Artic Char Sashimi Crispy Calamari Black Pepper Crab Dumplings Grilled Beef Hangar Steak Warm Chocolate Cake Fried Chicken With JG's affordable lunch menus, this place whips up some decent fare for only a little dough. read more

It's hard to get reservations a day before your b'day at the popular/celebrity restaurants around town but Perry Street's remote location made this more than possible. After perusing Open Table with rejection after rejection Catherine's perseverance got us in here for my special night. We walked over from west 4th and grabbed a drink at Otheroom for a pre-dinner cocktail. When we arrived at the restaurant (on the ground floor of that Richard Meier building on the highway) we entered a sleek but comfortable environment. The service was really on point with all the professionalism you would expect without any pretense. Menus were set in Helvetica and had offerings that were not on the web version but still included the Chili crusted Lamb I was looking to get. Catherine ordered the Cream of Tomato soup (with fresh basil and a grated parmesan mound on top of a thin piece of bread). I ordered the calamari with a sesame dip. This was pretty awesome. Once the parmesan/bread was gone with the soup it was just a more acidic version of a cream of tomato soup. The amouse bouche was a cucumber/honeydew/lime foam. Tasty. Entrees ordered were the steamed red snapper and the chili crusted lamb. The snapper had a mint? puree that worked well. The lamb portion was small for $36 but it was cooked to perfection (medium rare on the rarer side) and butchered on the rib in a "French Cut style." I had no reservations gnawing off the remaining meat on the bone. It was accompanied by a pea puree and a small side of perfectly cooked peas with nuts and a slight mint sauce on the underside. Dessert was ridiculous and possibly showed up dinner for me. Which doesn't ever happen. I ordered the chocolate pudding with creme and crystallized violet petals. Yeah. flower petals that were a crunchy candy. Ridiculous. There was a thin layer of chocolate cake on the bottom as well. Catherine ordered the rhubarb tart/rhubarb ice cream combo. Definitely more tart than the pudding but also tasty. We had nothing else going on afterwards but cabs were cruising down Washington St. if you needed to get some place. It's not exactly sexy walking onto the West Side highway after exiting but I suppose it's different than walking out of Applebee's in Paramus because it's in Manhattan. A great meal was enjoyed and I ultimately recommend this spot, especially in a pinch. read more

Came here on a Tues. night and can't believe the place is packed. We were looking for a restaurant close by where we got our facials (Om Spa). Wallse was fully booked and so was Perry St. however Perry St. allow walk-ins for the bar area. We got the last seating at the bar where we ate our memorable and delicious dinner despite an over-sized bouquet in front of us. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Beautiful atmosphere however the bar seating is not comfortable due to its short backs. The attendees here are well dressed - the kind of people you will see at fancy resorts - I see a ladies night out crowd, business people as well as well-heeled couples. Despite coming to the restaurant during restaurant week, we skipped it and went for something more enticing. I started with the peeky toe crab dumplings and then the entree -pomegranate BBQ braised short ribs which was melt in your mouth meat along with heirloom thinly sliced tomatoes that I can't stop talking about to my husband. It was INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS and a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED dish. I nick a star off since dessert wasn't impressive given the standards of this place. I had the strawberry tiramisu. I thought the dessert cup was pretty since it was swirled with strawberries. I just thought the strawberry topping was too sweet. It would have been better off topped with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Also, I would have like the marsala wine or some kind of liquor infused into the saviordi fingers (the cookie portion) and into the zabligone. Maybe there's better performing desserts but I guess I would have to come back to find out which isn't a bad thing since this place overall delivers beautiful and delicious cuisine. read more

Great food! had the burrata to start- creamy with some jalapenos to give it a kick. Then moved on to the sea bass and the lobster. The lobster was by far one of the best dishes I have ever had in this city. So delicious. The sea bass was also very good but the lobster Really was the star of the show. For dessert, we decided to go non traditional and just order all the ice creams. Chipotle ice cream- yuck. Olive oil ice cream - so so so good. I added some table salt to mine which made it even awesomer. Lack of one star for Stuffy atmosphere. read more

Perry St - Burrata ! Good size portion - New American Near Me - New York, New York

GLASSSHARD IN DESSERT and highly unprofessional staff! We had the lava cake and ice cream for dessert, which contained a piece of glass!! How the fuck does that happen?? Luckily it was not swallowed so no one was hurt, but the staff and manager, Alyssa Valentin, reacted extremely unprofessional! Upon our complain they offered us a new dessert and asked us if we wanted a free drink. What? This was all! After we questioned the manager, she asked us why we were so upset and what else we could possibly want as she had just discounted our $5 Espresso. How about biting a glass splinter in a restaurant like this makes you upset? We asked her if she would not at least want a compensation such as a free meal if she had been in our position to which she replied "I am not going to do that.", and that the glass has "already disappeared." (as the waiter took it with the dessert). It was very obvious the manager had no compassion for our horrible situation, and had only the business in mind, but this is incredibly rude. We imagined such a highly delicate situation would bring a restaurant in a position where they would like to remedy any further trouble and comfort their customers but here with Perry St. you are wrong. The customer's opinion does not mean anything and even for such a horrible restaurant experience you have to pay and interact with an unempathic manager. As the bill was presented to us, the manager reminded us that they had removed another item from the bill, but we still had to pay full price for the main course. Is this a reasonable approach for a restaurant? You be the judge. We will recommend everyone to give Perry St. a very wide berth. read more

My wife, daughter and I had a very enjoyable dinner here. The food was outstanding, and the service was even better. The room seems as if it would be a bit austere, but we were very comfortable. The noise level was perfect, and the light was great with the walls of windows. We wanted to try out the menu so we each ordered an appetizer an entree and a dessert. The winners were the asparagus appetizer, the grilled beef tenderloin entree and the "star" dessert (I am not sure what it was called - but it was really, really good). Also excellent was the cucumber martini and the wine by the glass. The prices were extremely reasonable for a restaurant this good. Several entrees were in the $24-$25 price range. Wines by the glass were around $10, and the cucumber martini was a steal at $13. We weren't ready to leave after dinner, so we stopped in the lounge area, which is really part ot fhe restaurant, and enjoyed one last drink and some pleasant conversation before we departed very, very happy. If you want your sweetheart to marry you, I suggest you take him or her to Perry Street and pop the question there. I do not know how you could possibly be turned down. One last thing, reservations are not that hard to get, and the hostesses really know what they are doing. I have not had a chance to try the prix fixe lunch, but I have heard it is the steal of the century. read more

We went for Restaurant Week, which means for a set price, you can sample an appetizer, entree and dessert. Some places do this better than others, and I would say after leaving Perry St. this was not one of those places. Nothing on the Restaurant Week menu was actually on the real menu. In fact, it was rather boring -- including such unoriginal creations as a peach salad and molten chocolate cake for dessert. My appetizer, the salmon sushimi, was very good. The peach salad was what you thought it would be -- good but not fitting for the type of restaurant this was supposed to be. The hake entree was plain tasting -- very little flavor and bland. The crispy short rib entree was decent with good flavor, but it seems they decided to flash fry the short rib, making the taste of fried oil apparent in the flavor. The caramelized crepe cake was good. Overall, a bit disappointed. Food was good, but not impressive. The idea of Restaurant Week is to get people out of their comfort zone and out to try new restaurants -- preferably yours. If they like it during Restaurant Week, they may come back for more at regular price. Unfortunately, Perry St. went in a different direction increasingly common -- subpar, not on the menu options that leave the customer confused at best as to whether he/she should return. I might come back to Perry St. Service was excellent, and ambiance was decent. That said, there are a lot of restaurants in NY, so maybe not. They had the opportunity to impress, and unfortunately fell flat. read more

In choosing a location for Sunday dinner, Perry St was especially attractive due to its intimate setting and Hudson River location. The interior, furnished with clean modern lines, crisp whites and soft lighting, holds about 20 tables in all. The small size juxtaposed with its breathtaking view was more reminiscent of Boston dinning, than New York City. We started the meal with two Hendricks cocktails: one a martini with cucumber and mint, served with a cucumber spear and the second with fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Although both drinks were tasty, the cucumber mint martini played classically off the juniper-distilled gin. The appetizers ordered were sweet chili crab dumplings and the house made burrata with Meyer lemon. The stand out was the cheese, which we could have ordered for dessert. The lemon, served in a jam style, balanced the burrata for a slightly sweet, sour and smooth combination. Dinner consisted of butter-poached lobster and grilled strip loin. The lobster was surprisingly sweet featuring lemongrass and kaffir broth. Having enjoyed kaffir and lemongrass pancakes at Kittichai, I enjoyed this flavor much more with a sweet over this savory style. Bred in New England, perhaps I just enjoy my lobster in plain ol' butter (some garlic can be thrown in there for good measure). The highlight of the strip was the jalapeno cheddar fritters, better known as dressed up jalapeno poppers. I am a sucker for bar food in a tux. The steak would have been mouth watering had it not been over-cooked. We ordered medium rare and it was served medium. Luckily, a perfectly balanced glass of Pinto smoothed out our light disappointment. We ended the meal with the restaurant week special of molten chocolate cake. Since the dessert's explosion in the early 2000s, I haven't seen this delicacy on NYC menus recently. I was happy to learn that Perry St owner, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, claims invention of this lava delight and therefore it's not surprising that this was the dish of the night. Served with vanilla gelato, the slightly crisped outside crumbled into a gooey chocolate eruption. We practically licked the plate afterwards. All in all, we enjoyed our experience at Perry St. I don't except to have dinner there again, but I will certainly be back for cocktails, dessert and the view! read more

This place is a REAL drinking establishment. The bartender Mac was possibly the most knowledgable person I have ever had the pleasure of getting a drink made by. The bar is a tradition old school bar garnished with ice blocks that are chipped for specialty drink order. The concoctions that were made for me were like nothing I have ever encountered & most definitely were out of this world in taste & creativity. This bar is a MUST & fairly reasonably priced. Bar staff is knowledgable & polite. Thanks for a great night! read more

Followed a group of out-of-town business partners here for a late Thursday night dinner. What a treat! Although the location is a bit out of the way and somewhat misleading (the entrance is actually on West Street and the building itself is surprisingly inconspicuous), the service and food were excellent. I could deduct half a point for lacking ambience (it kinda does feel a tiny bit like a bland hotel lobby), but oh well. Our table of six shared appetizers (sashimi, seared tuna, duck ravioli and burrata), all of which were very delicious. My personal favorite was the duck ravioli - just outstanding. On a side note, I wish the waiter had been more generous with the bread. One small slice a person only teased my tastebuds enough to want more. My waistline thanked him though. For dinner, I had the seared sea bass with a basil sauce and mushrooms - each ingredient was done to perfection and shows that an excellent dish does not need to have more than 5 ingredients. My husband had the beef tenderloin - also done perfectly with a wonderful seared crust. I had the most beautiful citrusy 2013 Pinot Noir from Oregon with all this - light, but not sweet or too overpowering. I wish I hadn't been too full for dessert, because it all sounded amazing. Next time I'll save space for the carrot cake. Someone else ordered the sundae, which was huge! This place wasn't cheap, so I'm glad someone else picked up the tab - absolutely worth a splurge though. Hip it isn't, but delicious it sure is. read more

General: I've been here a couple of times before - it sort of made an impression on me but I don't often remember it when I'm thinking of a place to eat. I came for brunch (my 2nd time there for brunch) and I decided I definitely like it here and would come more. Wait Time - I made a reservation about a week in advance - still had lots of availability. Atmosphere - 4/5 I've always liked this restaurant because it's so bright and airy when you dine there during the day. It's right by the Hudson River, so you get a pretty nice view. It's super cute - good for groups + eating with friends. Service - 3/5 It's a bit hard to rate the service, because in some areas they went above & beyond but in others, they were less than subpar. The way they place your food on the table + their attitude towards you implies a level of luxury. They also offer coat check upon arrival. However, the service in general was extremely slow despite the restaurant not being busy - it was a little less than half full when we went at 1:30PM. We didn't get to place orders for food until a little past 2PM. Food - 4/5 We both ordered the Taste of Autumn brunch menu. From that menu I had the Fried Calamari appetizer and the Slow Cooked Salmon entree with the Molten Chocolate Cake for dessert. We also shared Buttermilk Pancakes. Pancakes - $18 - 4/5 Pretty solid pancakes, but nothing super extraordinary about it. It satisfied my craving! Taste of Autumn - $36 (appetizer + entree + dessert) Amazing deal for brunch! Fried Calamari - 5/5 *MUST ORDER* Finally, fried calamari that actually stands out! It had the lightest, crispiest skin with perfectly cooked calamari inside. The yuzu dipping sauce was unique and perfectly complemented the fried calamari. Pretty large portion size for an individual appetizer - I had to share with my friend because I couldn't finish it alone knowing how much food was coming! Slow Roasted Atlantic Salmon - 4/5 I asked for medium-rare salmon, but was pretty sure I got medium-well salmon instead. It wasn't overcooked to a point where I couldn't enjoy it, but that definitely affected my experience. Everything else on the plate was perfect - the brussel sprouts were amazing. There were drops of green + orange sauces around the plate (chili bell-pepper sauce) - they complemented the salmon + brussel sprouts so well. Also decent portion size - could barely finish it after I had the calamari + was nibbling on pancakes. Molten Chocolate Cake - 2.5/5 I've had molten chocolate cake here before and it was good. Maybe I was too full by the time dessert came, but it was simply too sweet for me and I couldn't get through even half of it before I gave up. Latte - 2/5 Wasn't really much of a latte - more like a cortado. The milk to espresso ratio wasn't that of a typical latte. But even as a cortado, it was not good. The espresso was super bitter and the milk didn't really cut the bitterness like it was meant to. I had to add a little bit of sugar (literally the first time I've ever added sugar to my coffee) to be able to drink it + somewhat enjoy it. Overall, would definitely recommend! I've had dinner here before, but I think it's more successful in my book as a brunch spot. It's pretty easy to get a reservation here - always a bonus for NYC brunch! And, the tasting menu is so worth it! read more

From the moment we walked in to Jean-George's Perry Street I felt at ease. Perhaps it's the proximity to the river or the light colored decor, either way I immediately felt removed from the chaotic city. We were immediately greeted by a Myriad of friendly staff. After coats were checked we sat in the lounge area while our table was prepared. I was immediately impressed by the bar menu, as they offer half glasses of wine and champagne. I have never seen this before, and being a light drinker I was instantly attracted to the idea, the half glass of cava it was. Once we sat we were greeted promptly and from start to finish the service was impeccable and quite smooth. We ordered from the resturaunt week prixfixe menu. The one downside was the very limited menu, understandably so, given the circumstances. We were offered two choices for appetizer and entree. I selected the Meyer lemon burutta and beef tenderloins. Both were prepared to perfection, and as I finished one the other arrived right in time. The Amuse-bouche was one of my favorite parts of the dining experience. It was potatoe and truffle oil soup! Absolutely delicious, warm, savory soup with a slight kick to it. After enjoying it so much I asked if they served a bowl of it and unfortunately they dont. I suppose I'll just have to go back for more. The Meyer lemon burratta, a cheese made in house, was lightly topped with olive oil and Meyer lemon purée. The cheese consisted of an outside layer of mozzarella, then filled with ricotta and creme fresh. The lightly paired flavors and mixture of textures seemed to disappear from my plate before I knew it. The tenderloin arrived and with it came a lovely presentation as they poured the sauce in the intentionally empty place on the plate. The perfectly cooked beef tenderloin was placed on top of sautéed spinache and the warm greyeur sauce tied it all together nicely. The meat was so tender that no steak knife was needed. The dinner knife easily made its way through the entree, and just like the appetizer, my dinner disappeared before my eyes. Dessert was a warm chocolate lava cake lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar and a wonderful scoop of vanilla ice cream. The center of the cake was perfectly warm and melted as my fork made its way Into it. I ended the meal with a cup of coffee. Often this part of the dining experience is overlooked. I tend to judge a resturaunts quality, and my overall experience, based on the small details. The coffee came out promptly with milk and an assortment of sweetners. It was a fantastic cup of coffee and really was a nice way to end the meal. With the check came petite dusted fudge with walnut squares. They were a lovely way to end the evening. Overall I was quite satisfied with the scrumptious culinary experience and the fantastic service. I will definitely return. read more

Came here with my bf and a couple of his friends one Thursday night for dinner. The restaurant looked absolutely sophisticated and is located right by the water, so fellas - if you are planning to take your lady here on a date, make sure you have your sports coat ready because an after dinner stroll may get a bit chilly. The service was attentive and friendly and they answered our questions and fulfilled our requests professionally and courteously. Now on to the food: perfecto! I opted for the rice cracker crusted tuna as appetizer which was not only unique but seared to my liking. I also ordered the salmon, which was as well, cooked to perfection - not a hint of dryness and very flavorful. Some other dishes we ordered included the sea bass, lobster and racks of lamb. We sampled each others plates and everything tasted delicious and made with high quality ingredients. The dessert department needs some improvement, but nonetheless, they were satisfactory to our palettes and the meal, in its entirety, is praise worthy. I will definitely return, hopefully with my boytoys jacket on me while he strolls alongside me ... topless. read more

Perry St - Yummy salmon - New American Near Me - New York, New York

As soon as I walked into the restaurant, it just came out of my mouth: "Oh, Jean-Georges." Perry Street is modern without being cold or sterile, it's just visually interesting in its simplicity. The staff is superb- attentive without being pushy- they seem to intuitively know when to let you linger over a cup of coffee and when to quickly clear your plates. We started with the calamari and the chili crab dumplings - both were absolutely perfect (I whispered it again "Jean-Georges!"). Then came the main courses: My mother and I both had the crispy bass which was just insanely good- the outside was crispy, and the inside was moist. The portobello fries added the perfect saltiness and texture to the dish (the couscous, however, was dry and flavorless). My father had the much-talked about fried chicken, and while we were both skeptical of anything hyped, the chicken lived up to the billing. Best not to think of it as fried chicken (which, let's face it, makes you think of KFC). This is light and juicy, and the mushroom spaetzle is the perfect complement. My husband had the cod with miso glaze and bok choy- loved this too. The dish had a clean, simple taste (something I usually associate with Vietnamese food). Dessert: the kiwi tart was a hit - it was on a delicious flaky crust and the kiwi was both tart and sweet. Less interesting was the white chocolate meringue (I loved the way it looked structurally but didn't love the texture of the white chocolate). The sorbet trio was a nicer healthier option (my husband is dairy free so he appreciated an option that he could eat)- the chocolate and the raspberry were delicious, the lemon was a bit tarter than we would have liked. All of this to say, Perry Street was just so, so refined and elegant and wonderful - and I'm sort of amazed that they can maintain this level of refinement and elegance at fairly reasonable prices. What small misses there were were so tiny as to be almost unnoticeable. Jean Georges, I think I love you. read more

I have a friend who absolutely adores Perry Street. For whatever reason, it just doesn't quite do it for me. It's so close and yet.... The food is solid, but not Amazing. The atmosphere is trendy and good, but I don't feel wow'd by it. The bar is gorgeous and a nice place to meet for drinks, but the seats are miserably uncomfortable if you're a lady and prefer to cross your legs. It's just not quite there for me. Dessert is good. Service is excellent as well. But eh... this city is too amazing for just eh.... read more

Beautiful setting and amazing food. Even though the restaurant was located right next to the West side highway, the noise from the car were not heard in the restaurant at all. We were treated to white glove level service without having to dress up in suit & tux. The service was slower than what I am accustom to, but it was spot on when food/drinks arrived. The fellow patrons were all having a good time without being too outlandish loud. Amazing experience and would highly recommend others to try. Please note that there is no restaurant week on Saturday, but there is a on going winter menu that includes dessert. read more

I really wanted to dislike this place. The whole super modern upscale esthetic seems sort of strange in the west village. Don't get me wrong, the wooden tables and white leather banquettes are pretty. It just feels like the Meatpacking District, which I loathe, is infiltrating further down into the West Village, and that places like this will edge out all the cozy neighborhood joints. But that wily Jean George charmed me, yes he did. The amuse-bouche was a strawberry soup with a cloud of cucumber foam. I was skeptical - a mouthful of room-temperature liquid strawberry? But after a few sips I had to agree with my mom: it was indeed a "taste sensation." We shared a brunch item referred to as "asparagus/fried egg/sourdough" which was just extraordinary. Perfectly cooked asparagus, little bacon lardons, tiny crunchy cubes of sourdough bread that I think may have been cooked in the bacon fat, topped with fried eggs and thin slivers of red pepper. The presentation was gorgeous and the flavors were sensational. Not really my scene, but I can't deny the tastiness. read more

Table for 6, 8pm on a cold and windy Tuesday in November. I drove around this place a few times because the signs for this restaurant is not prominent, seems to be a trend these days, especially with high-end Japanese restaurants. Street parking was easy as the area is pretty quiet and desolate. Very nice decor. Modern, minimalist and warmly lit. A very austere yet cozy feeling. Very classy. We were here for the OpenTable.com Stimulus Plan ($35.) Amuse Bouche - Sweet Potato Soup w/ parmesan - Nice rich parmesan flavor with a hint of Sweet Potato and smooth texture. Very good. Appetizer - Arctic char sashimi (lemon, olive oil and crispy salmon skin) - Looks like salmon to the unsuspecting eye but the texture was more like fluke. Fresh and goes down clean. Hints of citrus with bits of crunch. Good combo and good portion. Entree - Slow cooked cod - Good but really nothing memorable for me. Tried the Grilled Hanger steak, which was very good. The flavor reminded me of an Italian sausage. Tender, juicy, cooked to perfection. I think I would've preferred this over the cod. Dessert - Eyes and senses said Miroir Au Cassis, Pear Sorbet but I was in the mood for the Molten Chocolate Cake. Love it, love it, love it. I tried the Pear sorbet which was out of this work fabulous but on this night, chocolate was a craving not to be denied. Overall I'd say this place is classy, service is attentive and above average and food is a culinary delight. I am definitely a fan. I would highly recommend this place. It is a nice place to meet and talk, it can also be romantic if the situation calls for it and definitely a good place to dine. read more

Perry St. is located way out west, on the bottom floor of some sort of luxury condiminium/office park looking complex. And while the locale's slightly remote, the interior is quite inviting. Dimly lit, very sleek and loungey. The larger tables actually have circular sofas which make it a nice place for a mid-sized group. The menu isn't overwhelming- its fairly short and pretty simple modern continental cuisine with french influence. We started with an amuse of a cucumbur, honeydew and lime soup. It was served cold with a little bit of foam on top in a little teacup. And it tasted like pickle juice. While the Philadelphia Eagles have long extolled the virtues of pickle juice, I will be laying no such praise on this amuse, which completely missed the mark for me. Its a good thing the "paid" portion of the meal was much better. Arctic Char sashimi was extremely fresh, served in a nice lemon broth and had a nice bit of crispy skin. The rice crusted tuna was magnificent. A really crispy, great tasting crust. For the main I had the red snapper with basil and cucumber on a bed of mashed potatoes. I thought it was darn near perfect. A very tasty fish with the perfect sauce. Not usually a big fan of snapper but this was an excellent choice. To finish I had the cherry cordial desert- I'm a sucker for any kind of sorbet, and this was served with some fresh cherries on the side, so I definitely enjoyed it. Not a bad first experience at a Jean-Georges restaurant. Perry St. serves some simple, yet very elegant food in a pretty impressive space. read more

Was here this past Sunday for a brunch that was organized for a pretty large party by a friend. I checked out the menu and was pretty excited. When we arrived I learned that our hostess had preselected several appetizers, entrees and desserts. I was a tad bummed as none of the items I saw on the menu were on the list but that is how things go. Considering we were such a large party I thought the staff was pretty on top of things. I had the winter vegetables to start and aside from being extremely hungry and thinking "I am probably going to need a falafel later." It was delicious. I had the ginger rice bowl and this was also quite good. Someone else in our party had an issue with a food allergy but the staff worked to resolve it quickly and took her meal off of our bill. Would be curious to try dinner here. Might be a good date spot. (3rd/4th you know what I'm saying) After Brunch took a lovely walk down the west side highway. read more

It was hard to find the entrance due to the construction going on, and there's no obvious signage. The food was fine, but nothing sticks out based on my memory. The service was good. Another place where everything is good, but nothing amazing. read more

Our immediate favorites are DRINK: whiskey buck .... APPS: avocado salad , octopus... ENTREE: lamb chops , sea bass. We will definitely revisit. read more

Celebrity sighting!!! I saw Mr. X-Men...Mr. Oscar Host....Mr. Boy From Oz...Hugh Jackman! I was so stupid actually. I saw this handsome man sitting with his spreading arms in the corner booth with two older gentlemen (probably some movie producers or investors) and I had no idea that it was him until these girls asked him for a photo when he got up to leave. Although I am not his biggest fan, he was kind enough to stop for a second and smiled at all the diners. While he was there, I think his wife and kids stopped by as well, but at that moment, I was not paying too much attention to his table. I am slow like that. And unfortunately, that was the only highlight of my meal there. Now that Restaurant Week has turned into Restaurant Year at the JG empire, The $26 prix-fixe is still a great lunch deal, if you choose wisely. I went a la carte, so I will just talk about my eating companion's dishes. She went all out and got two entrees instead, which really were not a lot because the portions were not huge. I would say if you want to get an appetizer, get the calamari because what I saw was a heaping pile of fried goodness at the table next to me. My friend chose the salmon and steak with the seafood came first. The salmon was cooked to tenderness, though the sauce was too sour and the pickled white asparagus was too salty, which overshadowed the freshness of the fish. The steak was just two small stripes over this pink, mushy sauce and these overburnt shoestring fries served over some pallid mashed potatoes. Again, the steak was a bit oversalted and it just did not go well with the sauce and random white beans. Just a bit odd... The best course was probably the molten chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice-cream. The most enjoyable presentation thus far. The other offering was lemon mousse, but when you are at a JG restaurant, you always, always get the chocolate. Service was medicore, though water was refilled consistently. When dessert was presented, we were not asked if we wanted coffee/tea. I would have ordered tea (since I felt bad for just getting one dish), but since he did not ask, well, I got my tea at a nearby deli instead. It is a bit of a trek to walk there from the nearest subway station, but the view is nice (Hudson River) and you do get to avoid the crowds. No wonder Mr. Jackman was there instead of Columbus Square. FYI, I had my camera with me, but I just could not swallow my pride and act like a giddy schoolgirl, asking a celebrity to take a photograph with me. read more
