Oh how I've missed dining out in NYC (and reviewing such experiences on Yelp, of course)! My boyfriend and I ventured out to Perry St's outdoor terrace this past weekend for dinner, our first experience of Phase II outdoor dining in NYC. The terrace itself was more spacious than I was expecting, with tables properly distanced and with hand sanitizer on all the tables. Menus have also entered the 21st century with QR codes to scan instead of physical pieces of paper - eco friendly and sanitary! The experience itself felt like an elevated picnic with restaurant quality service. Drinks were served in plastic cups, and food was served in take out containers, although we were given proper silverware and plates, too. I can see this giving certain people more peace of mind, as they were reusing very few utensils/plates/etc. As for the food! We started with the black pepper crab dumplings and crispy calamari, both of which were well cooked and tasty. My favorite was the black pepper crab dumplings - the sauce was super flavorful, and I could easily have eaten another serving myself! For my entree, I had the corn nut crusted shrimp. A simple dish, but I enjoyed the comfort food aspect of it. My only complaint was that they had run out of the sea bass dish, and it wasn't clear when the server told us it was "last call" that he meant it was last call for both drinks and food, as we had wanted to try the carrot cake for dessert but ended up ordering too late. (We chalked it up to the universe telling us that we'd had enough sugar anyway!) Nevertheless, it was a great return to dining out, with friendly service to boot! read more

Quick update on our first dining experience since NYC launched indoor dining at 25% capacity. Jean-Georges is among our favorite chefs and restaurateurs in the city, so we were very happy to return and support the business. Overall, they're doing a great job at Perry St in terms of taking virus prevention seriously while making guest experience as 'normal' as possible. Though it's certainly different than pre-Covid, we had an enjoyable time. Atmosphere - On a Saturday night, they were basically at capacity during prime time. Later on, there were fewer patrons inside, but outside remained busy. - It never felt awkward, indoors there were enough patrons to create a good vibe; though it was quieter than before. - Patio was very popular, with nearly every table taken. Food It's a tall order to develop a good menu that recognizes health and safety while being suitable for takeaway, patio and indoor dining, but they've generally succeeded here. The differences relative to the pre-pandemic menu aren't many, except perhaps in pastry where the desserts are far more simplified. Relative to many competitors, this menu is far closer to its pre-pandemic standard. Favorite Dish: fried chicken, roasted brussels sprouts, scotch bonnet sauce ($30) A classic dish at Perry St! Very generous portion with two full breasts. The breading was of a fine texture and on the lighter side, not too oily. LOVED the scotch bonnet sauce. Very satisfying! Least Favorite Dish: anjou pear salad, sweet gorgonzola, frisée and apple cider vinaigrette ($18) While the ingredients and flavors were great, this was 'deconstructed' to the extent that it was basically a braised pair and pile of frisee with vinaigrette. Would have liked something more integrated. Beverage Perry St still has its usual selection of cocktails, as well as a diverse selection of wines by the glass and bottle. Many good options from which to choose. Improvements have been made to the wine list versus our last visit; really happy to see a greater inclusion of sub-$150 bottles across varietals. Service Our waiter Henry, was awesome - very personable and friendly, and set a welcoming tone. Also, made a great wine pairing recommendation which I would not have considered as obvious. All the staff we encountered had a genuine warm and positive attitude, which worked to overcome the sterile PPE. Health and Safety Of all our indoor experiences nationwide, by far this was the most serious around health and safety. Felt very safe throughout the experience indoors. - Temperature taken by a fancy kiosk machine. - Silverware is wrapped in plastic, napkins are paper. - Food is brought to the dining room covered with cloche. - View menu on phone only. - Tables six feet apart. - Staff wear both mask and face shield. read more

Start to finish, all aspects of the dining experience at Perry St are executed meticulously. From the moment you walk in, a pair of hostesses are primed to greet you and promptly take your coats. Your server will likely go above and beyond for you with trained elegance. The timing of courses is most certainly pre-planned and you'll be given an adequate amount of time to digest. The food here is tasty and well-thought out, though nothing blew me away. Everything was great, nothing exceptional. The prices are a tad higher than I'm used to seeing at restaurants of similar caliber, but I do think you're paying for the panache as well. Perry St is a great option if you're looking for an upscale dinner, perhaps to take the parents or a more serious date. Your brains and your bellies will be cared for and you will leave happy. Came here with the bf and his mom on a Thursday night around 7:30. Perry St is right on the West Side Highway, which makes for a wonderful atmosphere. The space itself is large and elegant, subtly sexy but mostly upscale. It was a chilly night and we were seated fairly close to the door, which wasn't optimal (being on the water is lovely unless you're subject to the wintry breeze). Thankfully, the hostesses made sure to alert us when a more central table opened up (this conveniently happened after we finished our drinks but before we received our food), so we moved after about 30 minutes. The service is absolutely delightful here. Our first waiter was wonderful, particularly with my bf's mother, who is used to southern hospitality (she's from Virginia) but not the glib waitstaff you'll find in New York. When we switched tables she asked the hostess if we could take him with us. It was cute. We did end up being passed of to the waiter taking care of the other section, but the first guy made sure to check up on us. Drink-wise, Perry St has an understated but very impressive cocktail program. At first glance, I wasn't wowed by any of the offerings, but both my drink and the bf's drink were top-notch. He got the Pisco Rhubarb Fizz (Pisco Porton, Citrus, Thai Basil, Suze, Egg White) and I got the Whiskey Buck (Bulleit Bourbon, Ginger, Vanilla and Lemon, Old Fashioned Bitters). Hard to say which I liked better but both were executed perfectly and well-balanced. The wine selection is equally well-curated. They let me try both the Sancerre and the White Burgundy--both were yummy, but I went with the former. It felt more versatile considering the food we ordered. Speaking of... The menu is sophisticated but approachable. I'm a seafood lover, so I was thrilled to see how much fish and the like were featured. As I mentioned earlier, it's hard to go wrong here. The execution is near-flawless, as I'd expect of a JG establishment. My only *minor* complaint is that the fare overall seemed tired and/or uninspired. Not boring, but the flare and excitement I've encountered around the city wasn't quite as potent here. It would be nice to see some more risk-taking but at the same time, we really loved all of our food and the elegance and precision displayed was significant. I'm just nitpicky. Our eats, below: Sesame-crusted asparagus starter, compliments of the kitchen: crunchy/crispy/tasty yum. We got a surprise double-dose of asparagus and thankfully its a vegetable Perry St has clearly mastered. Provence White Asparagus w/ Buttermilk Vinaigrette, Hazelnut, Herbs: A Light yet rich, beautiful presentation. A little asparagus forest with lots of extra goodies hidden amongst the sprigs. This was one of the "seasonal" dishes and it was a fabulous starter. They sure do like their asparagus here. Jonah Crab Cake w/ Cucumber and Kaffir, Sweet-Chili Sauce: A This was my bf's mom's appetizer and while she found it a bit too spicy, I thought it was the perfect amount of heat to pair with the crab cake. Great executed, nice variety in flavor profile. Rice Cracker Crusted Tuna w/ Sriracha-Citrus Emulsion, Scallions: A- Coming in, this dish was so hyped that I could not wait to dive in. It was good, but I was honestly expecting a bit more pizzazz here. The flavors were a bit more muted than expected and the sriracha-citrus emulsion felt too heavy-handed for the dish. The tuna itself was light and yummy, great texture with the crust. Pan Seared Black Bass w/ Grilled Maitake Mushroom, Aromatic Basil Broth: A Beautifully-cooked piece of fish with elegant accompaniments that, while understated, elevated the fish and made for a light but nourishing flavor profile. The broth was tasty and the mushrooms were fantastic. I adore mushrooms and these were a slam dunk. Roasted Crescent Duck w/ Tender Carrots, Turnips, Citrus-Chili Jus: A/A+ I can't get enough duck these days and this was delicious. Cooked two ways here, both unbelievably flavorful. The richest dish of the night, warming and powerful. Sweet and citrusy, nicely paired with the winter root veggies. read more

Came here for restaurant week and it was a gustatory delight. This restaurant is SEXY. Very sleek lines, extremely modern, and it's by the river. I came in the afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. I ordered the hake, tuna tartare, and the molten chocolate lava caken with dulce de leche ice cream. The tuna tartare was very flavorful and one of the best tartare's I've ever had. I then had the hake which was flaky, buttery, and fresh. I didn't know before that I need that fish in my life, but I did. Finally, I got to enjoy the lava cake! The lava cake was good, but it wasn't incredibly sweet. I have a huge sweet tooth, so I would have appreciated that, however this is a great dessert for those who prefer dark chocolate. The ice cream was the best part. The only thing that annoyed me: the waitress offered me sparkling water, like it was complimentary, but when I looked at the bill, it was $16 more! Please be more transparent on how you present things! Otherwise I would definitely come back for more. read more

Another great meal and overall experience sitting on the beautiful terrace at Perry Street. We came here a few years ago and enjoyed it but didnt love it. Now we are back for our 3rd time and it just keeps getting better. Manager Daniel Run always is there to greet you with a warm smile and peronsalized serviced and we loved that Sommelier Mack came buy with a special Savigny and shared a few laughs. Everything is delicious from the Pea Soup to the Tuna, Calamari, all the salads, and almond cake. Thanks for another great night we will be back especially to sit inside your beautiful Resturant. read more

Amazing dinner . The pea soup is a must ! The service was impeccable and everyone treated us like royalty . Love Dan !!!!

Take 2. My girlfriends made a Rez for restaurant week, and while this wouldn't have been my first choice, I will never pass up a chance to meet my girlfriends for dinner. One had to cancel, so it ended up just being two of us. To be fair, this time was better than my first, although I still wouldn't bill it as one of my favorite places to eat (nor close). It was a rainy night, so it did feel warm and cozy inside with the soft lighting. Our table was near the back, with no one seated next to us, so I appreciated the space. I had the creamy tomato soup, the skate dish, and a coconut sundae for dessert. The skate was the best part, but it was a very teeny tiny position. The desert was my least favorite, with a very tart tamarind sauce on top of the coconut sorbet. The soup was fine. My friend ordered something from the regular menu. Lamb burger and burrata appetizer. She said her burger was just okay. Over-all, a second try was a stretch, but a third try would really be pushing it for me. read more

Found this spot on Resy's Off Menu Week List, and this seemed like a nice spot for a dinner. It was good. Came here for a celebratory night and my gf and I went with the Limited Time Only menu. For starters it was 4 courses for $98pp (on the high end tbh). We started off with drinks which were amazing. So good that I ordered a second round ($18 is steep for a drink, but it was a special occasion). Our starter was a crusted tuna that was very good. The Sauce it came with though, was tangy. A bit too much for my liking. After that, we got Crab Dumplings. This was the best part of the meal and I could've eating hundreds of these. The serving was very small (3 per order), but very delicious. Next, we had a "special" treat from the chef (that wasn't so special, since every table got it) that was a curry soup with mushrooms. This was good but too overpowering. I couldn't finish how strong the flavor was. Followed by this was the Wagyu. It was good, but you get what you pay for. It's not the best of the best but the meat was still tender. The sauce it had was also a bit on the tangy side. I'm not sure if this was intentional but it was a recurring theme all night. The night ended with dessert which was chocolate profiteroles. Nothing fancy, straight to the point. It was tasty but meh, at best. Overall, it was a good meal but not worth the price. Service was nice, but distracting at times. The one thing that bothered me was the pace of the night. Each course came too quickly and 2 minutes into bread being served our 1st course was served. And that followed all night. This would be spot on if it was in the $$ range instead of $$$+. Give this place a shot and see for yourself. I'd pony up the money for Nougatine, but don't think I can say the same for Perry St. read more

Chic modern but also casual eatery on the edge of manhattan next to west side hwy, this spot is perfect for brunch or any gathering. We ordered duck croque madame, eggs Benedict and ahi tuna burger, and hands down croque madame is a win! Flavorful duck with melted cheese and sunny side up egg, was just Devine, one of the best croque madam version we've tried. Chairs are all so comfy, no hard wood here. Servers were very professional and presentation was good as well. Price range for brunch plate around $20 per plate. read more

Thank you Anya for serving us and helping us with the menu on that day. We really enjoyed that very evening. The rice cracker coated tuna roll was the dish that really fun to eat. The lobster was also so delicious. They are also eco friendly and use bio degradable straw too. A plus from me. read more

Delicious food in a lovely, modern setting. Perfect service. Lunch menu at $38 is an excellent deal for a taste of chef JG cuisine. Often overlooked, Perry St never disappoints. I am really surprised by the 3-star reviews to be honest. I have visited for lunch regularly over the last 10 years and always enjoyed my experience. Found that itbis always a bargain for high-end cuisine. Brunch offers an additional menu of benedicts / pancake / duck hash / etc. We opted for the French toasts which were also excellent. For dessert: Molten - Lava Chocolate Cake is a must. The same as the michelin-starred JG at Columbus Circle. read more

Modern and elegant American food in a sleek and minimalist space. Dinner here is very satisfying - the appetizers are light and refreshing (crispy calamari is a favorite of mine) and the entrees are executed beautifully (I'd recommend the duck). Molten chocolate cake is a Jean-George classic so definitely try as well. I love coming here during Restaurant Week for a great dinner deal. Brunch, on the other hand, was a bit disappointing. I came over the weekend and we decided to order a la carte instead of the tasting menu (which is a great deal at $38) to try something different. The pastry basket was a bit dry; none of the pastries stood out in any way. The confit duck hash was also dry and the poached egg was solid instead of runny. The portion was also on the smaller side. The burger was nothing to write home about. The half lobster was good, but it was just half a lobster with some lettuce on the side. Lastly, the yuzu souffle was very, very sour. I love yuzu flavors normally but this made our lips pucker. Next time we'll skip the brunch options and order the lunch tasting menu instead. read more

So I decided to pay a visit to Jean Georges west village James beard award winning side chick restaurant while his wifey Nougatine takes all the Michelin fame and glory ... Timely- 5/5- We had a show to catch later and they really worked with us and stayed late without rushing the way most American restaurants tend to do Service 5/5- Very attentive and friendly, almost friend odd for a french place Where I have grown accustomed to being snarled at as part of the authenticity ;) Ambience 5/5 - this Asian fusion French kept it classy and contemporary with wide comfortable circular white leather booths and RnB jams later into the night. Great for groups and dates Food: We did the restaurant week menu with a couple of additions for the sake of my curiosity. First addition: The creamy Burrrata with strawberry jam was VERY interesting . It was almost as if the Barada had been melted, altering its consistency to make it harder to break but easier to spread. It did come with Smokey charred focaccia bread Which was a poor decision on the Chefs part since it diluted the burrata taste . Didn't work well : pass! Second addition: I don't drink and have been having a great time exploring the mocktail cultureIn the city. Perry Street was no Gramercy Tavern in this regard but it did not disappoint with its Yuzu strawberry, Ginger lime and lychee grape options..You can also customize the sweeteness which was a nice touch For the rest of the week pretty much stuck with the restaurant week menu but the butter steamed lobster which was not on that caught my eye and I think I will be returning for that. My favorite appetizer was the sashimi with the coconut lime sauce with hints of lemongrass and chili tapioca balls strewn like caviar The mushroom toast was also very well done and their Bread was definitely French The entrees: Steamed sea bass with mango and squash ( which I'm generally moody about ) was a 4.5/5- Not the best Seabass I've ever had but definitely up there Parmesan crusted Amish hen chicken on a bed of corn Was basic- 4/5 Desserts - molten lava cake with toasted almond gelato and blackberry sorbet with roasted plum - 3.5/ 5 - - However, I'll say I have unrealistically high expectations of French desserts as they should pack and out of worldly experience in everybite in my opinion. These were solid . Amelies was way better. We ended up having crEpes from the Creperie on mc dougal after our show - just saying, make of it what you will about the dessert aspect read more

My wife and I dined at Perry Street last Sunday night. We are finally getting back into going to Manhattan for Dinner. We decided on Perry Street because we have dined their many times and have always been please. Not this time. Appetizers were very good and that is where my compliments end. I ordered the Duck for an entrée. I asked for it to be medium it was not. It was tough and cold. My wife had the Salmon and she said it was just OK. I asked for sea salt and never received it. Service was Poor. This is not what we expect from a Jean-Georges restaurant. We have dined in many of his establishments and always come away satisfied, not this time. The menu is old and somewhat boring. Overall a disappointing experience. read more

Perry St - Crispy artichoke - New American Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered cured salmon, grilled octopus, and steamed sea bass. To be perfectly honest, I was not impressed or disappointed. I feel like the courses lack some creativity, as you can find similar stuff at any other decent restaurants. To compare to other restaurants owned by Chef Jean Georges(I've been to Jojo, Nougatine and ABC kitchen so far), I like Perry St over the others, probably because food here had more flavors. read more

Ive been wanting to come here for a long time and finally came here for Sunday lunch. Ambience is very sleek and sexy and perfect spot for a date or girl's night. Service is very welcoming yet professional and the timing of the course was perfect. I had tuna tar tar as my appetizer and the plating is so beautiful. it was so fresh and goes very well with the Parmesan and toast served with it. I've heard of so many good things about the fried chicken so that was my main and I'm so glad I choose it as my main cuz it was one of the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. It's perfectly crispy yet very juicy inside. Corn served with it was so refreshing and completing chicken very well. We ordered both deserts(molten chocolate cake and berry parfait) and it wasn't the park of the meal but it was very good. Overall the experience was amazing. I would definitely go back for special occasion. read more

My mom and I had high expectations when we came here for restaurant week and Perry St did not disappoint us! For the appetizer, we both got the tempura squash blossom, which had absolutely amazing flavor. The tomato vinaigrette was an excellent dressing to use and I loved how the waitress came and poured it right in front of us! The tempura would've became soggy if the vinaigrette was added before the dish was brought out, which shows how much the restaurant cares about its food. As for the entrée, I got the sea bass and my mom ordered the flat iron steak. Both were delicious, but I thought the steak was better just because it was so wonderfully cooked. It was grilled to a perfect medium rare and the meat was SO tender. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate cake and my mom had the pavlova. While the pavlova was great, the chocolate cake is absolutely amazing. The salted caramel ice cream goes so perfectly with it that you savor every single bite. Definitely order this dessert because it is a Perry St specialty. This meal was such a wonderful experience, especially with the Restaurant Week price, and the staff was very kind and attentive. read more

Winter 2017 Resturant Week Lunch Menu Review We arrived on a Monday late morning, about 20 minutes before the restaurant opened. Yet the Host still invited us inside out of the cold to relax in their lounging area. She checked our coats and even served us water as we waited for the place to open and start lunch service. We were seat promptly at 1130 and presented with our menu. They started is us of with a slice of sourdough bread you can smell a mile away before it came to your plate. It was fresh, soft, moist, with a perfect outer crust. Spread with the creamy unsalted butter and a sprinkle of DYI salt flakes- it made out appetite run in overdrive! Course #1: Heart of Romaine vs Salmon Sashimi Both dishes were presented beautifully and had a similar flavor profile- citrus, tangy, and bursting of fresh bold flavors. The salmon was vibrant dish boasting every color of the rainbow- a work of art! The texture of the fish was firm and melted in your mouth; accompanied with blood orange, bits of veg, market herbs, and a drizzle of vinaigrette gave a nice balance to the dish yet keeping the fish the distinguished star. The base of the salad came as whole leaf romaine with the body consisting of watercress, creamy sweet Gorgonzola, red onion, crispy shallots, sunflower seeds, dressed with honey mustard vinaigrette and a garnish of what seemed to be a rich avocado purée. I was a tad put off at the stalk of the lettuce was a tad browned at the end, and the lead itself was pale and bitter. Otherwise, each bit was explosive and pungent from the vinegar dressing which I personally appreciated. Verdict: Salmon Sashimi Course #2 Roasted Hake vs Caramelized Pork Loin Again. Both dishes were presented quite lovely and had very Korean notes throughout the entree despite the Japanese origins. The first bite of the Hake was like heaven with a perfect seasoned rub that was very familiar, but could not identify. This was served on top of a light flavorful broth with cabbage, kombu, Yuzu Kosho, and mint. The fish was flaky and delicate, and melded so wonderfully with the whole dish! The pork loin, in my opinion, was a poor cut to attempt caramelization. It was so lean, that is came out hard and dry with a limited sear on both side. It was also about 30 seconds away from being completely dried out if it remained in the pan. The seasoning was good, but the protein alone didn't hold to its own. Only after mixing the pork with the accompaniment of Dill Spatzle, samjang sauce, and Honshineji did I experience the radiant marriage of favors that just worked too well with each other. Alone, they taste of nothing, but all together, it was amazing! Verdict: Roasted Hake Course #3: Molten Chocolate Cake vs Carmel Apple Panna Cotta The moist cake was served warm and flowed of deep rich chocolate ganache that was not overwhelmingly sweet. Served with a lightly caramelized vanilla ice cream is sure to fulfill anyone's indulgence for chocolate dessert. The fluffy Panna cotta bursts of apple flavor with a cream texture that also isn't too sweet. Although, the side of green Apple sorbet was perhaps the most amazing sorbet I had ever tasted! Verdict: Carmel Apple Panna Cotta for the Green Apple Sorbet! Overall experience was beyond my expectation and I thought the Resturant week menu was well thought out. Some of the dishes had small issues, but the meal was still very unique and satisfying. I will definitely be back for their 7 days a week lunch chefs tasting menu which is a hard find in the traditional Dinner Tasting menu culture of NYC. Highly recommend!!! read more

Came here for my birthday today and it was a very nice experience. They were patient and explained every question we have. Gave us plenty of time to enjoy our meal.

Inexpensive and comfortable environment. Definitely will come back again. read more

Rating 3 stars for food, and 4 for excellent service. Came here for a weekend brunch in a group of five. I'd previously heard very good things about Perry St, and had been looking forward to eating here. The meal got off to a good start, with my party of five and I being seated at one of the aesthetically pleasing corner booths. The decor here is minimal, modern and elegant, with large windows and a light grey color scheme. After taking some time to decide, the majority of us decided to order the 'Taste of Winter' menu (restaurant week winter 2019), while one of us ordered from the a la carte menu. Our food was brought out in a timely manner, and everything was presented beautifully. For my entree, I had the tuna tartare. The pieces of fish were simply flavored, and fresh. While nothing worth raving about, it wasn't terrible either. For my main dish, I had the lobster (an $8 supplement to the menu). It was prepared simply and grilled in a buttery sauce. You can't really go wrong when ordering lobster, and as such, this one was tasty, but again not something I would recommend or order again if I had the chance. For those of us who had ordered the restaurant week menu, I believe dessert was the best course. Most of my party ordered the molten chocolate lava cake, and it was delicious, from what I had. Instead of the lava cake, I opted for the apple cinnamon cake, which was served prettily with a slice of apple, and sorbet on the side. The cake had pieces of poached apple in cinnamon glaze inside - it was pleasant to eat, but not super memorable. The service here was superb. We had a young looking waiter who was the epitome of professionalism, and all the staff here were indeed very nice. While I didn't have anything that was extremely memorable, I might give this place a try another time based on the ambience and service, and the number of reviews that deem this place excellent. read more

The Quick: Elegant dining with a welcoming flair. Delicious food, fairly small portions. The brunch price fix is a no-brainer. Loved the steak tartare. Thea Details: I'' fairly certain one of the LA housewives was dining at this restaurant the same morning we were. That makes us celebrities to right? Perry Street is exclusive and they know it. They will likely make you wait 30 minutes for your reservation so that you have to purchase a drink. That being said, our experience was wonderful. The brunch is delicious and the staff is very attentive. I would be interested in the dinner tasting menu for special occasion. The Damage: Brunch price fix ~ $30 for three courses, great value for what we ordered. read more

Came here for lunch with my friends to visit with my Uncles who have lived in NY for over 40 years. The location is incredible...waterfront views in Greenwich Village. The day was perfect ... not too hot, humid or windy with blue skies for miles. You could easily see New Jersey across the Hudson river. Good safety covid protocols - spacious, open floor plan, covid vaccination card check was seamless and fast, everyone wore masks and gloves. my uncles are regulars here and received a warm welcome as did we, their guests. Service is friendly, easy to build rapport with and genuinely care. It definitely didn't seem transactional, which so many interactions feel like that as it's hard to find people to work. Ok, now to the food. The calamari appetizer is delicious and the yuzu dipping sauce is a foam ... light, airy with just the right amount of tartness. The juice of the day was beet, ginger, lemon, carrot and one other fruit that escapes me now... it was refreshing and had the right balance as you could taste each ingredient, but none was overwhelming. The benedicts came on top of homemade brioche that was buttery and rich and the poached eggs were divine - perfectly runny to add another layer of richness, texture and depth. I had the pancakes which were light, fluffy with a little sweetness (which I personally love). Came with fruit on the side and lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Save room for their signature dessert ... chocolate pudding. I am a pudding fan and this was one of the best. it was not overly rich or sweet. In fact it was on the lighter side for both chocolate taste and consistency. The devil's food cake (bottom layer) was spongy and delicate, though stayed in tact under the delicious pudding and whipped cream. The crystalized violet leaves were crunchy and satisfied the sweet tooth. Definitely a place to come back to for the company, food, service and location . read more

I'm pretty ashamed to say this is the only Summer Restaurant Week 2012 meal I had... but I can forgive myself since Perry St was actually pretty amazing. The restaurants exudes a lovely ambiance and you can make out the water from every table in the dining room. Everything is posh with a more sophisticated, older crowd and I for once felt a little embarrassed of how I was dressed as I had just come from the gym. Very smart waitstaff... and I mean smart as in how they were dressed and presented, not their IQ. No offense but how could our waitress not know what a Manhattan cocktail was? When one of my party asked her for this quintessential drink, the girl looked at her and said "A Manhattan? Uhh... Is that on our cocktail menu?" Someone educate this poor thing ASAP before an alcoholic attacks her! Other than that slight abnormality, the rest of the meal went smoothly. A waiter came around distributing bread for each patron individually. I love it when restaurants do it because it gives me a real sense of ownership of my bread. Yes I'm territorial over my food and I will bite your hand off if it comes near my bread rolls. I elected to have the wheat bread which was soft on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. The cylindrical cut of butter was of course at room temperate and was perfectly dreamy. God I love circular shaped butter. Although we were RW diners, Perry St did not discriminate. From the chef, my table was given an amuse bouche of corn fritters with a tangy remoulade sauce. This was definitely a sign of good things to come. For my appetizer I chose the sauteed shrimp with crispy baby artichokes, garlic puree and paprika. The shrimp were sweet and everything tasted fresh. I didn't really taste any garlic but the sauce was still scrumptious. Presentation as you can see from my photos was nice. For my main, I went with the meat choice and I wasn't in the mood for salmon. Sadly/annoyingly, Perry St only gives you two choices for each course for RW (boooo). I'll let it slide this one time since I enjoyed it. My entree was Crackling Short Rib with heirloom tomatoes and cheddar aged polenta. Wowie wow wow! The short rib was so tender on the inside but with a delectably crunchy texture on the outside. The meat was laid on top a bed of thinly sliced heirloom tomatoes which alternated in colors. Such a treat. For dessert, I (not) surprisingly chose the molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. I mean, I can't really say that much about this dish except that it made me crave milk like none other. Thick chocolate cake + gooey chocolaty center + ice cream = taste bud heaven. Obviously I enjoyed our meal here and would like to come back soon. I'll wait till I have a little bit more cash in the bank though as this place ain't cheap. I mean, look at its neighborhood. You can't walk 10 feet without almost tripping over some designer dog. And yes, I was one of those people that accidentally went into the apartment building with the same number next door. Lucky for me the doormen thought it was cute even though I'm sure I'm the 1000th person to do so. Learn from my mistake. read more

Restaurant Week '15 Sunlight shining onto their creamy white decors (whites from linen to their upholsteries, and the cutest tiny little daisies at the table) through the large windows surrounding their dining room overlooking the frozen Hudson River, what a glamorous view. They have a limited restaurant week menu this year, two choices each for apps, mains, and dessert. JZ and I had total opposite choices, yet there were three of us, so AL had to be the tie breaker. Rounds of bread and butter kept coming around our table, glasses of water were always filled. Crispy Calamari- one of the best calamaris I've had. Lightly battered, fried till just soft, served with a fluffy basil sauce on the side. The pieces of unbelievably tender squid plus the hint of basil from the sauce were a perfect match, it was different and much tastier than the boring ole marinara sauce. Roasted Chicken- I thought my piece of chicken was a bit small, or was it just not enough chicken for me to finish all the barbeque sauce on that plate? This barbeque sauce was fruity, smoky and tangy. The little balls of polenta bites were crispy on the outside, sweet, warm and fluffy inside. Yuzu Eclair- the mango sorbet was tangy, every bite was perfect with the crunchy, toasty sesame brittle. The citrus glazed eclair was just as good, the amount of tart to sweet ratio was right. This was the just the perfect place for us girls in need of a lunch date, it was quiet, except that it was a bit of a trek since there isn't much public transportation around. read more

I was brought to Perry St on a surprise Restaurant Week meal last month. Because I had no hand in choosing where we would be dining I was beyond pleasantly surprised. The space: i am a massive sucker for bright, clean, minimalist spaces, and the restaurant doesn't disappoint. I had passed by the building a bunch of times and never noticed it before. We were there for an early dinner around 6pm and with the sun setting, it felt like we were dining inside of a very modern cloud. Definitely a good compliment to the meal. Food: I experienced what I called a Food High. No crap, this was probably the best meal I've had in my adult life thus far. The watermelon gazpacho amuse bouche was delicious, the the peach and Gorgonzola salad was a perfect balance of sweet and cheesy, the steak was absolutely delicious with the cherry mole (which pretty much blew my mind!) and the basil panna cotta (the seasonal dessert that day) was to die for, which as a none sweettooth means a lot. Just grab someone you love who loves food and appreciates good service and a beautiful space as much as you do and go. read more

I took my family for an early dinner here. They enjoyed every morsel. I ordered the beet carapaccio, the roasted chicken entree and the chocolate pudding. It was solid. My brother was satisfied with his snapper and my date loved his shortribs. The staff was friendly and attentive, even though I wore flip flops and a tank top (totally under dressed), but they put me at ease. Highly recommend. read more

Ate here for brunch and found it to be spectacular. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding and the ambiance was clean and modern. For brunch there's a tasting menu and an a la carte menu. The choices they had all sounded so delicious that my bf and I ended up ordering from both. We ended up with two appetizers, two entrees and one dessert each. It all tasted amazing. There was a little bit I couldn't finish (my monkfish) that I took home and even that tasted amazing after being reheated in a microwave. I will definitely come back here! read more

Great meal, good service. We had the tasting menu and the portions were pretty big. To drink we started with champagne and the shared a half bottle of Pinot noir from Oregon. The ($88?) tasting menu had: - tuna tartare - white asparagus with Parmesan - 1/2 broiled lobster with mushrooms - duck - chocolate pudding I wish I knew the exact descriptions of each dish. My over simplified words do no justice. My favorite dish was the lobster and duck. Both were superb. The chocolate pudding really stood out for me as well; great textures and not too sweet. Opposed to other restaurants that have "meh" tasting menus, I feel like this is one I would come back for. Yum! read more

Food, atmosphere and the experience are all very good - probably 4 stars Just be very careful - I got charged twice for the deposit paid - and it was a big sum. read more

VERY delicious meal, and very bright and non-stuffy restaurant! We came here around 7pm on a Friday - it is located right along the West side highway so often gets overlooked, but it is a must try!! There are round booths for large parties, and smaller tables too - the bar is gorgeous with a giant glass wall. Staff was super welcoming, and informative of the menu. Didn't feel overbearing or "stuffy". I had the best cocktail of my life here - it was a ginger margarita - SO fresh, and SO delicious. Full wine and liquor list. Food wise - the crunchy rice tuna is a MUST get - everyone writes about it for a reason. Wish we got two orders!!! We also got an arugula salad that was beyond refreshing, and a pretty big portion! M Main corses were the scallops and the filet. both DIVINE. The attention to detail on the plates was insane, and the taste will speak for itself. All in all highly recommend - and get that tuna appetizer!!!! read more

Salmon sashimi - WOW! This was amazing. Perfectly fresh. Loved the sauce. The wasabi puree was really good and not spicy at all. Like wasabi ice cream! Heirloom tomatoes - Good but not super special. A bit spicy. Omelette - Not so interesting. Not too much flavor. Salmon - Beautifully presented and good. A bit spicy. They offer half bottles of wine on the wine list. He showed us the bottle, and it was actually a half bottle! Happy to try another Jean Georges restaurant and wasn't disappointed. :) read more

A sultry and trendy contemporary restaurant by Jean Georges located right next to the Hudson. Overall: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5 (restaurant week pre fixe $42) Service: 4.5/5 Decor: 4.5/5 I had the tuna tartare, black bass, and molten chocolate cake as part of the restaurant week menu. The tuna tartare was very flavorful but a bit on the spicy side in a way that was a tad overpowering and the taste lingered for a while after. The black bass was delectable and perfectly cooked, with crispy skin. Absolutely amazing fish served over a bed of wild mushrooms. Finally the molten chocolate cake was warmed and gooey, nicely offset with the rich and smooth caramel ice cream. The setting is quite nice, all dim lights and candlelight. Dark and sultry, so a nice spot for a date especially since the restaurant is right by the Hudson (perfect for a nice stroll along the water)! Service was adequately attentive but not particularly exceptional. Overall worth a visit especially for restaurant week or their lunch pre fixe. read more

Perry St - Molten Chocolate Cake and Apple Tarte - New American Near Me - New York, New York

I enjoyed my brunch here a lot. They have extended their Restaurant Week menu and for $24 lunch, it was a good deal. You got to choose two plates on their menu plus dessert. Those two plates are not limited to one appetizer and one entree like most offerings. You could choose two entrees if you want at the same price and that was exactly what we did. I got spinach and goat cheese omelette and seared yellowfiin tuna burger. Both came in great presentation and more importantly, tasted awesome. The portion was just right; it was not so much that it overstuffed you. My boyfriend got the hanger steak and Salmon and they tasted delicious! The desserts were amazing too. I got the chocolate pudding with Vanilla Ice cream and he got the Carrot cake. I would come back for another great meal. read more

Wonderful lunch prix fix $28. Of course, I had to offer a la carte for the butter poached lobster in keffir lime, gingergrass, butter sauce. My peeky toe crab dumplings (boiled) delicious, you could really taste crab, not overpowered by the delicate lemon tea. It was a work of art that tasted delicious. It's a long walk from the subway, but it burned calories. Service is wonderful, friendly. The booth comfortable. read more

I came here for dinner with 2 other people. Main Points - Make reservations - Great service - The bar area can get a bit crowded - Rice cracker tuna was delicious - Lobster & Gnocchi was my favorite - For food and drinks, it will be in the $80+ range Perry St definitely has it's Southeast Asian influences in the food, but still very french. We arrived here promptly but the hostess informed us that the group ahead of us was just finishing up, so we went to the bar. The bar was packed, probably because of people who didn't have reservations, so it took a while to flag down a bartender. Also they had 2 HUGE vases of flowers on opposite ends of the bar, so that contributed to getting a bartender to serve us since we were hiding behind a giant bouquet. The atmosphere was definitely upscale, but not as stuffy or quiet as I imagined it would be. Our waitress was excellent with top service. I would definitely come here again. read more

Store ambiance and decor is really nice and classy. Loved the furniture and dishes/cups/glasses used. Situated in the West village (really far west, on the west side highway)-- note that the entrance is on the west side highway side, just on the corner of perry st. and the highway. Service was excellent and friendly however the food was mediocre to me. At least I only got to try one thing due to their very limited vegan options. The Acai bowl was vegan- made with acai and coconut. This isn't your typical fruity tart acai bowl made with frozen fruit/berries. It is made with a coconut base so it is on the creamy side and not that fruity. I did love the presentation and color of it and it had peanut butter which made it tasty. I didn't think it was bad per se, but I was just expecting something different. But honestly I think they should have just stuck to the regular acai bowl made with berries and frozen banana etc instead of trying to make it "unique"- it was too much coconut and not enough fruit. Plus it was $16... I don't know if I would come back since they only had one vegan thing and it was so-so and I can get an acai bowl tons of other places. The avocado toast is NOT vegan even if you omit the egg because their bread has eggs. Coffee wasn't good at all. Don't waste your money on bad caffeine. It was weak and bleh. It tasted like coffee-flavored water... At least they had almond milk though. Go down the street to some kind of hipster coffee place in the west village for a good cup of coffee. Overall if you don't have dietary restrictions i'm sure you'll find something decent here to eat in a really nice / pretty restaurant. But I personally wouldn't be returning. read more

Perry St - Açaí bowl (vegan) - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Four stars overall, but five stars for the $28 three-course lunch deal. You really do need to try the lunch prix fixe menu. Great food, great options, great price. Highly recommended. The steak tartare was simply divine. Smooth, rich, and perfectly seasoned with a touch of heat. It was a joy to eat. The simply grilled yellowfin tuna burger was very good and cooked perfectly medium rare. It was a great light spring dish, but it needed a touch of salt. In contrast, the chips served with the burger were way too salty and I couldn't eat them. Desserts were of similarly high quality. The molten chocolate cake was luscious and devoured within seconds, and the lemon meringue was beautifully presented and managed to not be too tart. Service was awesome. I loved our waitress, who was very kind and knowledgeable about the entire menu. Also, the restaurant itself is very simply designed, but still beautiful. A lot of white with clean edges. Very modern, and I really liked it. Too bad the restaurant is far from any subway stop, so it's a bit out of the way to get to. Next time I come I must try the peeky toe crab dumpings and the butter poached lobster. Can't wait to go back. read more
