My friend had his birthday brunch there so we had a table reserved ahead of time for around 12 people. Perry St is hidden inside a building but has a really sleek interior! We all had the summer menu which had appetizer, entree and dessert. Appetizer: Steak tartare: delicious with the buttery bread that was on the side of the steak Entree: Burger........ subpar. Fries were really salty. If you zoom in on the fries you will see crystals of salt :( and the burger was good but nothing special Dessert: Molten Cake, delicious and chocolatey read more

Came here for restaurant week. The tuna tartare was amazing. JG and partner know their fish. Only tartare I've had better than this was at Jean-George's Topping Rose, which could only be described as A-fcking-mazing. The flat iron steak had a perfect crust, salt and mini butter roasted Brussels with chimichurri and avocado crema. Last, but certainly not least, we almost licked our dessert plates clean of the molten chocolate cake with salted caramel ice cream and banana cake with brulee'd bananas and passion fruit sorbet. Everything was portioned superbly and so delectable, it only lead you to wanting more. Frankly, I would've paid the prix fixe price for any one of the 3 courses if it were enough to fill me up. Service is impeccable as were the bedside manner and spotless latrine. Located across the Westside Highway, it's a welcomed semi-getaway from the hubbub of the crazy city. The Best restaurant week experience by far. read more

This used to be my very special go to restaurant, and they will never see me again. As I write this I have been sitting in the restaurant for one hour 15 minutes and just got our dinner Music is much too loud It just is not the same. I am sooooo sorry Ps.. have now eaten my dinner and it was mediocre read more

Located in the posh Perry Street Condominiums complex, the restaurant commands prime real estate in the Far West Village. And has a celebrity chef to boot. The food is French-American as promised and fairly tasty, as expected. So why two stars aka "Meh. I've experienced better."? My colleagues and I had a reservation for a group of ten at 6pm. When we called to push back the reservation, we were told that they have an 8:30pm reservation for another group but that we could still come. Our dinner was going as expected until we were handed our check at 8:20pm as we were finishing the entrée course. We were especially looking forward to desserts, since this was a celebratory dinner. Upon inquiring, we were told that we needed to clear the table by 8:30pm. When we insisted on having dessert, the staff member grudgingly relented. A few questions: - why would you have not canceled our reservation for being late, which would have been the right thing to do? - what if we had arrived on time, but were simply not done with our dinner by 8:30pm--would you have asked us to leave in the middle of our dinner? - why would you quietly leave the check on the table, and not acknowledge your inability to serve dessert, and perhaps ask us to have dessert in the bar area? For a restaurant at this price point, I would have expected them to let us stay for as long as we wished, especially since we were continuing to order food and drinks. This is poor customer service unbecoming of a fine dining restaurant, and I (we!) don't plan to go back. read more

Very delicious spot near the piers. It was quite pricey, but the food was really worth it. I got the eggs Benedict and my friend got the crispy French toast! Drinks were also great ginger margarita for the win! It was also very quiet for brunch on a Sunday. read more

Awful... avoid it at all costs. Food, service, ambiance just the pits. Would recommend never going here.

Came here for dinner on a weekday night during restaurant week. We made a reservation on opentable and even on a Tuesday, it was necessary. The restaurant setting is crisp and nice, right next to the water on Hudson. Service was attentive like I would expect from a Jean Georges restaurant; however, timing was initially a bit off. I ordered a cocktail and my friend ordered a glass of wine, and both came out after we had finished our bread, amuse bouche, and appetizer. It was like the initial start of our meal was too rushed, and they wanted our table. But after the entree, timing was okay. In terms of food quality, very delicious. We started with a complimentary taste of potato soup with black truffle - so insanely amazing! :) bread and butter was very average, not served warm. For my first course, I chose the salmon sashimi and my friend got the tomato soup. She enjoyed her soup, and I really liked my sashimi. Great portion size and very fresh. For our mains, we both got the delicious duck that included breast and confit. Served with bok choy. Finally for dessert, we both chose the chocolate molten cake with caramel ice cream. Tasty for sure but not particularly unique. Overall for $42+ drink, tax, & tip definitely worth it. Non-restaurant week, I don't know if I'd necessarily come back. Not because I was disappointed in my experience, but I've just been wow-ed more in the past for similar pricing of what the regular menu is. Nevertheless, definitely enjoyed Perry St and worth a try! read more

Underwhelming and I'm honestly surprised Jean-Georges attached his name to this place. Came here a couple of weeks ago for a pre fixe dinner. It was $98 pp: rice cracker crusted tuna, crab dumplings, seared wagyu beef, and chocolate profiteroles. The ingredients were ok; but the taste, presentation and overall experience was just disappointing at this price. Both appetizers, the tuna and the dumplings were covered in high sodium, creamy sauce and tasted just like something you'd get from that Japanese Restaurant around the block for under 20 bucks. Before the main course they sent us this mushroom green curry with rice. It was a confusing little gesture that didn't go with any part of the dining experience. I had a spoonful and had to give it up. It was the same salty heavy sauce as the previous courses just in a different color. Before I came here I was expecting French-Japanese fusion with a level of thoughtfulness perhaps similar to Nougatine, then it was just average Japanese, now it was fused with...take out Thai? After an awkwardly long wait, there came the Wagyu which was supposed to save the day. It was not the best beef, didn't hit the high note or whatever, but comparatively speaking the most substantial course of the entire meal. I was just glad though I had the steak without that heavy sauce all over it. After another long wait, the chocolate profiteroles were served. I love profiteroles, and these ones definitely didn't do anything for me at all. It was essentially three small scoops of chocolate ice cream stacked with pastry shells, served cold. No cream or special topping either. The restaurant also gave you a complimentary pear dessert coated with chocolate. Had one bite and asked for the check. At this point I just chuckled out of disappointment; I couldn't help but thought of those gastronomic memes and how people made fun of fine dining by putting ordinary, averagely prepared food in tiny portion on an enormous plate and then giving it a Michelin starred level price. Well, that was exactly how I felt about my dinner at Perry Street. At this price, the pre fixe experience wasn't even on the same level with places like Blue Hill. If you're a fan of Jean-Georges like I was, stick with Nougatine and the Michelin two starred Jean-Georges which is more expensive, sure, but at least it's worth it and the experience would be consistent with his brand. To be fair, based on the regular menu I could see how this place could be a nice neighborhood restaurant for people living nearby to pop in for a fancy drink or a Friday family dinner, but for people who don't share the zip code it's definitely not worth a cab ride over. read more

The food is amazing, service is more than satisfying. Let's talk about food first. We are a table of 4. We ordered a summer tasting menu (steak tartar + slow cooked salmon medium rare + chocolate mousse), a confit duck hush, and a French toast. Had drinks for each person, and it was more than enough for us to eat. The kitchen also brought out complimentary pastry basket that has chocolate croissant, raisin bread, and cheese danish. My sweet tooth told me it was happy. The steak tartar came with a buttery and toasted stroke of break. Cut in a perfect column, lying next to the beautifully placed tartar. The French toast is especially interesting since it comes with two strips of crispy bacon and peaches on top of the melty carb. What a brilliant balance of texture and flavor! The ambience of the restaurant is very high-end, doesn't surprise me knowing the background of the owner. What surprised me is how cheap the bill came out to be. Definitely worth every single penny. Will come back for sure. read more

I have been debating on going to this restaurant for a very long time and finally decided to take my father out here. For drinks I definitely recommend the white heat it was amazing. The food was delicious and the rating goes as followed Rice crusted tuna 8/10 - Solid choice and was cooked perfectly but similar to what you could find at other restaurants Peaches 8.5/10 - Perfect for a nice warm summer day. The Gorgonzola went perfectly with the sweetness of the peach a must get! Lobster 9.5/10 - Cooked to perfection. Butter poached with lemongrass it was earthy, vibrant and fresh. Fried chicken 9/10 - Crispy and cooked to perfection. The spicy sauce was perfect with it and the corn was a perfect side dish Cherry cobbler 10/10 - The meal kept getting better and better. It was a perfect way to sum up the night. Was heavenly Overall 9/10 - A modern vibe however not overlooking quality just for aesthetic. Food was lovely will definitely be coming back! read more

Yummy: Molten Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Ice Cream. Very good: Eggplant Toast with bell peppers and ricotta. Good: Cherry Yuzu soda. Okay: free appetizer Watermelon Gazpacho with Summer Berries. Didn't like: Pan Roasted Duck with Sweet Corn and Tomato Cilantro Salsa. First of all, why are restaurants always changing the Restaurant Week menu at the last minute? So annoying. Started off with the Cherry Yuzu soda, which was nice and refreshing, not too sweet. Then they gave us free shots of Watermelon Gazpacho, which was on the original menu as an appetizer. I so wanted the peach salad that was promised, but the Eggplant Toast was good enough to make up for it. I ordered the Pan Roasted Duck, not realizing their version of roasted duck was cooked so rare, there was blood. I'm not Chinese enough to appreciate blood in my food, I guess. Score one for pushing me towards vegetarianism. Oh well, the Molten Chocolate Cake was a delicious finish to the meal. Service was okay. read more

I came here on Friday night. First of all, I was impressed by the compliment from chef: chilly strawberry soup, very fresh and had great mix of chilly and sweetness. I had watermelon gazpacho as appetizer, my taste was fully waken up by the interesting flavor. Slow cooked salmon was good. My fav part was dessert, chocolate cake w salted ice-cream. Chocolate was perfect melted in the cake, w a pistachio flavor from ice-cream. Drinks were strong - 23 old fashioned was great. read more

I had a wonderful dinner here with a few of my girlfriends to celebrate a birthday. I called in to make last minute reservation for 5 and that whole process was easy breezy. The interior is beautiful! The water views and dim lighting made the ambiance very elegant and intimate. I would highly recommend this place for date night! I noticed there were a few large round tables near the entrance so I think this place would be great for larger groups as well. Four dishes I would highly advise my fellow yelpers to try would be the White Asparagus, Perry St. Fried Chicken, Rice cracker crusted tuna, and their house made burrata. Towards the end of our meal, the staff was nice enough to serve dessert with a candle and a Happy Birthday message on it. For all my wine lovers, they also have a great wine selection by the bottle or glass. Cheers! Friendly staff, fair prices, and great food sums up Perry St. I will be back :) read more

Bravo! Had a lovely dinner here for restaurant week. Everything was perfect! From the proper yet friendly staff to the dim yet comfortable lighting & all throughout our meal. I don't have a single negative thing to say about my experience here. Thank you Perry st for a lovely dinner experience. read more

Disappointing. I heard so many things about Perry Street before so I was very excited to go for the first time. The ambiance was quite nice - dimly lit with candles for the most part. Their Bellini was good - had lycee and raspberry in it. For appetizers we got Brussels sprouts salad, octopus and calamari. They were all pretty average. For entree they highly advised me to get their fried chicken. I would say that it wasn't even cooked well. Oh also - they didn't warn that it was going to be spicy and I have low spice tolerance which didn't help. For dessert I got the carrot cake and again, nothing special. I don't think i would go to this place again and although i didn't see the bill, I wouldn't think it would be value for money read more

I came here to try the summer2017 restaurant week dinner! The staff was super attentive and recommended that we try one of each item on the menu(between my friend and I) so we get to taste everything. I loved the food at Jean Georges's Nougatine, so my expectations here were high. Unfortunately, was kind of disappointing to see that the restaurant week menu here was nothing memorable and filled with bland flavors :( (i.e - tomato salad, hake, crispy chicken). I don't recommend this place for a restaurant week, however the regular menu might be worth trying! read more

Perry St - Restaurany week dinner - summer2017 - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Went there to celebrate a special occasion and was awestruck by the calming atmosphere. Very much needs after a long days work. Henry our server was very warm and welcoming made me feel right at ease. Loved his enthusiasm over the menu. I can be a picky eater so someone who understands the menu and asks questions about my preferences was so helpful. I had the beef tenderloin and I have to say it literally was like music to my mouth. The dance of flavors was beyond what I expected. Daniel the GM was also very kind and checked with us often ensuring we enjoyed our visit and seemed genuine when speaking with him. Special shout out to Mac the bartender who suggested digestif after dinner. All in all the night was already special due to what we were celebrating but the exemplary service at Perry really made the night special. Can not wait to go back for my birthday!!! read more

Table was not ready upon arrival. After 20min wait we finally had a table. Had to wait another 30min to order. Food was pretty good but expensive for what it is. Wine list is good but prices are insane. It's more expensive than a wine list in 3 Michelin Star restaurant. Ended up with a $600 bill for two people. Will not go back. Good spot for casual dining but watch out as the bill goes up very quickly. Either stay casual and lower your prices or go fine dining and improve the food quality. read more

Recommended by a New Yorker. He told us that Perry St is Jean-Georges' restaurant on a budget. Sold. Arrived on Monday at 11:30 am and we were one of the only people there. Worried. We both chose the TASTE OF SUMMER MENU $32 per person TUNA TARTAR -Serrano, Puffed Rice, Pickled Daikon AMAZING . So fresh and has a little heat which we loved. PERRY ST STEAK TARTARE -Crispy Quail Egg, Parmesan Cheese, Basil Another huge hit with us. We were so excited after trying both of these appetizers CONFIT DUCK HASH -Poached Egg, Crispy Potatoes, Pickled Chiles My husband enjoyed this dish but I felt it was bland. PERRY ST FRIED CHICKEN-Creamed Corn, Cilantro, Scotch-Bonnet WOW!! I've never had chicken so tender before in my life. Life changing chicken. MOLTEN LAVA CAKE - Decent STRAWBERRY SORBERT - come out with a meringue shell. excellent The meal was perfect and the location is right by the hudson river so you can go for a stroll afterwards. read more

Had a wonderful restaurant week lunch here at Perry St. The location of the restaurant is amazing - right at the water. It is a bit of a walk from the closet train station so make sure you account for the 10-15 minute walk. The restaurant itself is stunning - it's very clean, modern, and sharp. I love it! The music was very upbeat- not too sure how to describe it but it made me excited to eat. I opted for one of the cocktails, the Strawberry Royale. It was a tad bit too sweet for me, but it was very beautiful (I feel like the lemon peel coulda been a little neater). It was quite pricey at $16 so I'm not sure if I would recommend it. There is complimentary sour dough bread which was pretty nice. No butter knife so I just ripped up the bread and smeared it on the butter. I love free carbs so... I started with the shaved salmon appetizer which was amazing! The salmon sashimi was very fresh and tasty, and the accompaniments were so unique but great. I LOVED the addition of the chilled tapioca. I normally only eat tapioca in my Asian desserts, but having it in a savory dish was such a nice surprise - amazing texture. I think the red pepper was a tad bit too strong. The like coconut broth was great. Overall a very strong dish with beautiful presentation. For the entree I got the pan seared pork loin. The pork loin was perfectly cool, super juicy, and very flavorful. As someone who normally does not like squash, this was quite nice. The squash was nicely seasoned and not too soft or wet. The cherry mole was great and added another dimension of flavor to the dish. For the dessert I got the vanilla pan a cotta. The panna cotta was very smooth and perfectly sweet. I normally don't like desserts that are overly sweet, but it was balanced nicely by the tartness of the fruits. Overall a very pleasant experience. The restaurant is very nice. It has a super casual feel. I went at 11:45 AM and even when I finished the restaurant was not too busy. I don't think it's a must try during restaurant week because their regular lunch tasting menu is only a few dollars more but has much more options! read more

Cute ambience and easy location on the west side highway. Crusted tuna was overrated. Butternut squash soup was incredible and full of flavor. For mains, the scotch bonnet chicken portion was huge and overly spicy and that's coming from someone who uses hot sauce on most dishes. Brie burger and fries were good. Molten chocolate cake wasn't bad and cocktails were good. We would come back but order a bit less and definitely skip the chicken dish. Service also could have been more attentive. read more

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for the past 10 years. The ambiance is great for reunions and meetups, great views of the surrounding trees and water and music at the perfect volume for conversation. We have also never been disappointed by the following foods: - The rotating selection of soups, most recently the Thai chili broccoli soup which was an incredible burst of roasted broccoli, coconut foam and a subtle punch of flavor with the chili. - Appetizers: The red snapper sashimi, which has changed my world view on grapes in savory dishes as a whole, and the rice cracker crusted tuna. - Entrees: Don't hesitate on the butter-poached lobster, the lemongrass broth and potato ravioli are to die for! The fried chicken with creamed corn is also a strong contender. - Dessert: Molten chocolate cake, 100%. That being said, yesterday was the first time we were let down by the overall service. - We had ordered the Pol Rogere champagne followed by a 2018 Alsatian Pinot Gris, and when drinking what we thought was the Pinot Gris, we realized it was not actually the correct bottle of wine. We wanted to keep the bottle label for recording purposes and the supervisor ultimately gave us the correct bottle to keep, but as it turned out, the bottle still contained about a 1/3 of the amount of wine. I can only imagine that the table whose wine we ended up drinking was also as frustrated as we were. - Additionally, we were told by the supervisor that another party's reservation was for our table only 15 minutes prior to when they were arriving. He assured us that he would accelerate the time of our desserts leaving the kitchen as well as receiving the check, but none of those were done. This information of another party's reservation time should have been communicated much more in advance so that both us and the kitchen can prepare accordingly. Additionally, bringing out the dishes and refilling water and wine glasses was much slower than normal, which further exacerbated the time situation. - (of note as well, there were two major dish crashes during our dinner) There were also letdowns with some of the food, most egregiously the crispy skin salmon which did not have crispy skin at all. The best parts of the dish were actually the ginger-chili vinagrette and the squash. We may have come at a time where there is transition of roles and new servers, which is why it is even more important that these grievances be highlighted. We love Perry Street and want it to thrive for as long as possible, so we hope these flaws are addressed accordingly. read more

Had a splendid birthday dinner here with my husband. Even the salad was special. We started with a salad with peaches and the restaurant graciously split it for us, which I really appreciate. We had a second appetizer - the signature tuna that was surrounded with crushed crackers. While this was one of the signatures of the restaurant, this was actually the least exceptional dish. It was just good. For our mains we had the lobster that was served with pierogies (yes they were called something different on the menu.) The presentation was fabulous, the lobster was perfectly cooked and the sauce was divine. I'm always worried when fine seafood is paired with sometimes strong Asian flavors, but this sauce was subtle enough to partner well with the flavor of the fish. The other main was steak. It was perfectly cooked. I was dubious of the carrot top pesto, but they pulled it off. They gave us a complementary birthday dessert which was a nice touch. Only thing that I would suggest as a challenge to our meal, was the waitress's standoffish demeanor. read more

I don't understand the mixed reviews. My experience was splendid. This is probably my favorite brunch place. Then again, I moved to New York 6 months ago. I haven't tried *THAT* many places. The interior design is also a killer to me. White furniture, minimal deco and glass doors all around. I'm a sucker for modern design. So I could stay there for breakfast, lunch and dinner if no budget limit. Since St Georges is great at dessert but salty entrees in general, I chose brunch to test the water. It caught me off guard how beautiful they could make their dishes, including the tastes. That Belgian Waffle is most definitely the BEST Belgian waffle I've ever had. It had enough crisp and enough soft. Adding on it was maple syrup and wonderfully roasted and caramelized walnuts. If I were alone there, I would've ordered a second one. They also got banana split pretty right. One layer of caramel on top of half banana, making the dish a little sweet, but not overly cheap sweet. The fruit sorbet was as strong as the fruit, but I couldn't remember the fruit. All in all, a fantastic restaurant for brunch. I started to count my days of returning there. read more

Been coming here for 15 years but the last time was a real letdown -- the first time they botched the fried chicken. Service always impeccable but things are starting to break down here. Considering how much the prices have gone up, and considering that they've eliminated the taste of Perry St menu, my wife and I have had to let this one go as one of my all time favorite and also hers. It's getting harder and harder to run a restaurant in NYC. I feel for them. But it's no longer worth the arm and a leg they've started charging. They used to have a Taste of Perry St for the middle class and the fancy could still get a Lobster Thermidor. I just can't pay north of $40 for fried chicken that's not absolutely transcendent. read more

Restaurant week visit: Staff I made a reservation for 7:00. Being in Manhattan and all, I arrived 10min late due to bus delays. Once we arrived, they told us to wait at the bar because our table wasn't ready yet. They said the same thing to the two customers in front of us. We sat down at the bar and weren't even greeted by the bartenders. About 3-4 were walking back and forth in front of us and nobody said a word. Not even when they served us water. Or when they brought the cocktail menu. I found that quite rude. No "good evening", hello" or I would've even settled for a "hi". We waited till about 7:30 and then I asked the hostess what was going on. I mentioned that we had waited a while, I turned back to my conversation and noticed her still looking in my direction. She continued with "we're literally setting your table right now". I said that I didn't think I would need to wait this long for a reservation. About 5-10min to set the table would be enough? Maybe they needed more time. But she shot back with, "This is a restaurant, not everything is on time" "It's restaurant week so we're busy" ??? I wanted to laugh. This is not the only restaurant I've been to for restaurant week. With other restaurants I've been able to walk in and be seated either right away or within 5minutes. This is not the only restaurant that's busy on a Friday. What's the point of having reservations if you're just going to wait anyways? They should be more clear: "Make a reservation so the wait time for a table is decreased". Maybe the hostess was just having a bad day. But she is the introduction to our meal, the first person to represent the restaurant. It left an impression of my friend too: "it seems like everyone here is tightly strung and stressed" was her comment. Ambience It feels more like a bar than a fine-dining restaurant. The lights are dim and it's quite noisy. Would be good for a date. Food In one word: underwhelming. The salmon appetiser was not bad, but any place with fresh salmon would be able to make the dish. Maybe I'm not a professional taster, but if I don't find it exciting at all, there must be an issue... Which leads me to the main course. I got the hake. When the waitress came over to ask if we were enjoying the dish, I mentioned I found it very bland. She offered, "Not exciting enough?". So she understood what I meant. The desserts were probably my favourite part of the meal. I got the vanilla panna cotta and my friend got the chocolate lava cake. The panna cotta was perfect with its sweetness paired with the tartness of the sorbet. The chocolate lava cake was great! Couldn't really taste the caramel in the ice cream though. View Even though this place boasts a view of the sunset over the Hudson on its website, don't expect to see one. The restaurant is on the first floor, add in a highway, a bunch of trees, some curtains, and you can't even see the river, nevermind a sunset. Verdict I expected more from a Jean-Gorges restaurant. Certainly more from the staff and the taste of the food. The quality was definitely there. I don't think I'll be returning; there's nothing to be excited about. read more

Just returned from an interesting meal at Perry Street which is a Jean-George's Vongerichten restaurant. Let me start off with the positives. My wife began with the butternut squash soup, and I began with the rice cracker crusted tuna. Both dishes were very good. For entrees we had duck and fried chicken, again both dishes were very good. For dessert we shared the carrot cake served with coconut sorbet. The cake itself was very good, but the sorbet had no taste. When the waiter asked how we liked it I told him exactly that, and he said he would bring over another scoop of sorbet which never came. Shortly thereafter the maitre d stopped by, and asked the same question and we provided the same response, and her response was wasn't the cake good. Perry Street is a moderate to expensive restaurant, and serves a very limited menu. From the time we sat down to the time we were handed the check it was exactly an hour. The portion sizes were very small, although I have to say I felt satisfied at the end of the meal. Overall, The speed of service made me feel like I was eating in a diner as opposed to a fine restaurant. There are many restaurants at this price point that deliver a finer dining experience. One that comes to mind in lower Manhattan is Scalini Fedeli. read more

We came here for brunch, and the food was delicious! I had the Eggs Benedict with the Flying Pig Farm Ham (brownie points for using local meats!). This was the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had! The hollandaise sauce was light and did not overpower the dish. Eggs Benedict can easily become a heavy dish, but they somehow found a balance so I had room for second and third courses. We then split a side of the pancakes. There were three of us and three pancakes. It was meant to be. Very fluffy and flavorful, even after we let it sit on the table while we ate our first course. Finally we devoured the carrot cake. The cake itself was a bit dry but the coconut ice cream and icing helped even it out. Beautiful presentation with this dessert. I had the red juice to drink. It was very pleasant and not too sweet. Why not five stars? The service was slow despite it being relatively empty. Also, we weren't offered new plates for the pancakes, and they forgot to bring us the complementary bread. I also wish the restaurant had some colorful decor. The food was so beautiful, yet the venue itself was drained of color and very dim. read more

Who would have ever thought on the corner of Perry Street and the Westside Highway there would be a restaurant tucked away in what we would all think of an office building or a fancy residential building. I came here for restaurant week with a friend last minute. We were both around the area at the perfect time so we were hungry to try a restaurant during restaurant week. I'm glad she picked Perry St. I felt so underdressed when I arrived, because I had plans to eat somewhere else and workout afterwards. I did not expect a restaurant to be where it was. I legit thought of an actual restaurant on a cute West Village street. We were seated quickly, and scanned through the menu. So the food.....IT WAS SO AMAZING AND SO BALANCED!!!!! I started off with the Tuna Taretare, and WOW the flavors were on point. It was such a good balance between the salt and the fish that it was simply amazing. The sauce just made the texture of the tuna stand out, where it was savory and amazing. I was blown away. My main dish was the flatiron steak, and normally the cut for that piece of steak is really cheap, and is extremely hard to get right because of the texture of the meat. They knocked it out of the ball park. The texture was a perfect medium rare, with the charr on the outside which was a nice smoke taste. The steak just melted in my mouth. It was amazing, and I cannot say enough, that it's amazing, and so balanced!!! So for dessert, I had the Molten Chocolate Cake. I really don't have a sweet tooth at all, and I was so afraid that it was going to be overpowering in the sweet department. I was con'd into picking that dish, thanks to my friend. Let me tell you....IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT SUPER SWEET, which was a huge relief. It was, I'm going to say it again AMAZING AND BALANCED! It was lightly sweet, and the Salted Caramel Ice Cream pairing was so perfect because the ice cream was not sweet at all! It helped balance out the semi sweetness of the cake, where you were more in tuned with the texture of the cake, and he hot and cold of the ice cream and the cake. WOW I was blown away. JG really knows his food. Lastly the service was on point. Our server was attentive, polite, informational and caring. This dining experience really changed the way I thought expensive restaurant would treat their RW guest. Kudos to you guys! You're awesome! Will I ever come back for a special occasion and pay an arm and a leg for the food. ABSOLUTELY! If the food is as good as it was during a lunch for RW, I can only imagine how the food is going to be for a regular dining experience! I'll definitely be back, and break the bank on the food! read more

One of the best brunches I've had here in the city. We've started off with the Whiskey Buck, a drink recommendation from the bartender, who was very courteous and knowledgeable. Then the plates start coming one after the other: Rice Cracker Crusted Tuna - a must have, Eggs Benedict with Chili Hollandaise & Smoked Salmon - eggs perfectly pouched and the salmon melts in your mouth, and then treated to a glass of Sancerre white, then ended the experience with Perry St.'s take on the carrot cake and also given an opportunity to taste their landmark molten chocolate cake. Also the assorted baked goods were a treat read more

Came here for restaurant week! Great choice! Staff: Very professional and courteous Interior: Beautiful decor and lovely tables and dark ambience at night time. Corner seating is a bit far from table than I would have liked. Food: Salmon Sashimi & Tomato Soup: Very delicious app to start. The sashimi was a bit sweet but very good. The tomato soup was so good and might be the best I've ever had in a restaurant! Creamy and great texture to mix in with the bread. Pan Seared Black Sea Bass & Roasted Crescent Duck: I am not too into sea bass so that part was just okay not to my liking but the duck was tender and had great flavor! Molten Chocolate Cake & Caramel Apple Panna Cotta: The caramel was okay too damn sweet tho. The chocolate cake was so so good but pretty standard as well. Overall: Great date spot and of course pleasant restaurant week place to hit up! read more

Solid food and vibe. Don't particularly remember any of the dishes being fantastic but nothing also felt terrible. This place is a good intro to fine dining. Maybe go before you hit up the Per Se, Saga, Le Bernadin, etc and you'll have a good base to compare. read more

Went on a lunch date this afternoon. Lets start with the place first extremely classy , ambience very elegant and stylish reminded me of our dining experience at Modern. Our server Henry was very friendly and helpful and ofcourse professional. We ordered from their spring pre fix menu. The green pea soup was amazing , I am a vegetarian so the chef made me a custom vegetarian entree which was really nice of him and it was great. My husband got the Sashimi and Chicken. He was raving about his food too. The molten chocolate cake was to die for. Overall and amazing experience will definitely recommend you can totally go for a special occasion or a casual dining even a business meet. read more

Jean George's West Side Gem Brunch // Dinner // Drinks Have been coming here for many years, and always come back for their herb crusted tuna... but little did I realize they were open and had quite a unique brunch. My duck hash was delicious, as was the brioche french toast with suspended maple bacon. Entirely too tempting for the morning and afternoon. You'll want to go to the gym after you've been here. The Scene: Upscale, Chic, French Destination Rating: 8 Date Rating: 8 Hob Nob Potential: 3 Strong Suggestion: Seating at the bar is first come first serve. read more

This place is very nice! Super fancy! Make sure you go in the proper entrance, which is the one facing the highway. The place has large windows, light filters in beautifully. They give you slices of beautiful crusty bread. The drinks are fun and creative. We did the tasting menu and they very politely made accommodations for our parties' food allergies and general fussiness. The food was wonderful. Highlight was absolutely the lobster and the tartar. The bathrooms are very large and cute, although unlabeled, tucked in the back of the restaurant. I did for some reason expect the menu to be experimental, which it was not, but the food was still wonderful! No complaints! read more

As a yelper, I think I need to be fair and rate this place based on food and not the staff or the attitudes or experience we had as a group of 6. For food, I give this place 4 stars. For the experience we had, probably a 2 star. We had a group of 6 girls for reservation at 6pm. Half of our group was running about 15-20 mins late so the hostess came up to us and said if our group doesn't show up soon, they would need to take the table back and we were forced to order food instead of just enjoying our drinks. Okay, understandable..given it is a Friday night. We were also told we all had to order everything all at one time, which I didn't really like. I mean, what if I ate something and decided I wanted to add something else after? Then we had a customized cake and we spent some time taking pictures and the hostess told us they can give us a back lounge table to enjoy the cake and keep taking pictures (basically kicking us off the table we had). Everything felt really rushed. I get it is a Friday night, but we also spent a good amount of $ for our group. I mean, our bill was over $600 and for that amount, I feel that we deserved to have our time for dinner. Okay, enough with the experience...onto the food. Calamari was probably my favorite, the best calamari I've ever had. Lightest and fluffiest batter ever, squid was so soft. We had to order 2. The yuzu foam like sauce was amazing with it. The other memorable dish was the rice cracker crusted tuna. That was amazing. These 2 is a must! We ordered the sashimi, kale salad and octopus for starters as well. All 3 were pretty good, but the tuna and calamari was the best as starters. For entrees, we ordered the lobster, duck, black Sea bass, lamb chops. The lobster was really good. The duck I felt was a bit on the raw side. It could have been cooked more. The black sea bass was pretty tender, but the mushroom with this dish was actually tastier than the fish itself. The lamb chops I didn't try so I can't say. Overall the food was really good since Jean Georges rarely disappoints. The only thing is that the portions are way too small for me. Then again, it's French cuisine. I never get full from those. I still feel like I didn't eat at all :( who's down for pizza? read more
