We've been to six other Jean-George restaurants, all of them excellent but Jean-George/Nougatine is a step above all of them. I had one of the best sashimi platters we've ever had. I had the Dover sole and it was the best I've ever had. The food, the service and the atmosphere - brilliant! Go and enjoy.

Interesting menu options, beautiful ambience and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic location for a special occasion.

Hands down the greatest restaurant experience of my life so far. And when I say experience, that's truly what Jean-Georges is, an experience. First, and most importantly, every dish I had was the greatest thing I've ever eaten. The portions seem small, but they know what they are doing. By the end of the meal, you will be full. A good full, not overly stuffed. The service is exceptional. They cater to each person individually based on your preferences. I ordered some things I wasn't familiar with and the staff gave excellent descriptions of the meal. And when I told them I don't like a lot of spice they made sure the chef knew to make it slightly more mild than usual. It's very expensive $200/person if you don't get alcohol. The wines are delicious though, so figure on getting a bottle or two. Cheapest wines were ~60/bottle but many we're in the hundreds. No matter what you spend here, it's worth every penny.

Great 2 star with a good ambiance and good service

What an incredible meal. Every course was surprising and different. Our server (mike?) was incredible, accommodating, and really made us feel like he was taking us on a journey with the feel. I had the vegan tasting and it was great but I want to point out especially that the vegan desert was NOT sorbet! I was so impressed at that! We will definitely be back

Had the four-course prix fixe menu which was excellent. We were hungry when coming in but left pretty full. It was my daughter’s birthday and we were given an extra dessert to accompany the other two… I thought this was a very nice gesture. Overall, the food is delicious and the restaurant is lovely. While the price has climbed over the years, the food quality, preparation and service remain outstanding. You'll want to visit!

Wonderful experience.

Love every single dish I had here.

Jean-Georges, where do I get started. It was the nicest most upscale restaurant I have ever been too. Serving French cuisine I felt like I stepped on a plane and traveled to France. Me and my friends loved it, just know it is very pricey. It's is a complete upscale restaurant, but it is completely worth it. Be ready to be wowed by the staff and the atmosphere. They had amazing drinks and out waiter was so knowledge about everything on the menu. This was an amazing experience and I would go back as often as I can afford it. Call and make the reservation, I promise you will not be disappointed. Go today, just make sure you have your checkbook on you, you may stumble across some stars!

My wife and I ate here over the holidays, and the experience was extraordinary. The unspoken collaboration of the service staff was a spectacle. At one point we counted 14 people supporting 15 tables in the dining room. The pacing of the meal was impeccable. As a vegetarian, I was well-accommodated, and our server was very knowledgeable, discussing the ins and outs of the dishes as though they were fond acquaintances. We left full and happy. High expectations were exceeded!

Amazing location, right next to Central park, nice ambiance and nice service.Their food has a lot of character and they are not afraid to use spices. We had several different dishes and every plate was made to perfection, however their spicy pasta was the real star of the day. This place has ambiance +++, starting from the entry, to the bar, and to the patio. The food is perfect, and the servers know how to bring it all together. I was there twice last week (once alone, where I sat at the bar, and once on a date), and the experiences were both perfect.

Had tasting menu during Xmas Day lunch. Simply amazing… Egg Toast is must-have! All dishes are tasty and well presented. Great attentive service. It was wonderful seated at the outdoor cabin

An absolutely amazing dinner experience! Each dish was beautifully presented with a wonderful story. Food was definitely worth the price, and the service is exceptional. Although the entire dining room was filled, I felt that the tables were spaced out well to enjoy some privacy. I have never had a more relaxed and enjoyable dinner. Not sure why JG lost a Michelin star as it is much more deserving of 3 stars than Per Se down the street. Brunch at Nougatine also offers a small tasting menu featuring some of JG's famous dishes such as the Egg Toast. However, there is a drastic difference in service during the daytime.

Fantastic. Went back after the first visit in May to celebrate with my wife our 35th anniversary. A perfect experience.

Worth the visit. It is expensive but good. Staffs are very knowledgeable and helpful. Good half bottle selection of wines. Try egg toast with caviar.

Had an amazing experience here. You have to rate this on the experience and not value. Yes it’s insanely expensive, no you’re not going to recoup that cost in flavor alone. But put that aside and soak in the refinement of the space. The luxury in the attention to your every need from the staff. Our server helped us explore the wine menu with perfect recommendations for our courses. Watched a vegan patron next to us be accommodated which was impressive given the menu. Only complaint is that we didn’t get to enjoy dessert fully because we were already stuffed!

Visited with my bf and our experience was exceptional for both food and service. Worth a visit or two.

Lovely meal at Jean Georges. It is an experience in dining. The staff was attentive and our server Leigh was superb. The food was beautiful and delicious, all the courses. A must visit when in Manhattan!

My wife and I had an amazing experience for our anniversary. Our server, Daniel, was very helpful, thoughtful and professional. We highly recommend this restaurant and wish the establishment many successful years to come! Thank you very much to all of the staff and especially you, Daniel. – Bryant and Karla.

Convenient location by subway. Very friendly service. Nice atmosphere and setting. The sea trout app was amazing. Cheeseburger was savory, the pickles were on point. Chocolate cake and mocha ice cream is so good.

lovely food, really recommend chicken soup. But the dishes was to simple, like the avocado toast and the artichoke was to simple for this kind of restaurant...

I had my 3 year anniversary lunch with my husband here, great service, nice food, even the non-menu appetizer was amazing!

Great value set lunch at what can only be described as an institution in the culinary scene in NYC!

Good course, Great value, Best service. If you choose right menu, there is no regret.

Whether you're stopping by for a delicious lunch paired with the best Cucumber Martini in town or indulging in a fabulous dinner, Jean Georges never disappoints. During my recent lunch visit, Cameron’s exceptional customer service truly stood out, making the experience even more memorable. I can’t stop recommending this gem to all our partners—it's the perfect spot to impress out-of-town clients or for locals to celebrate a special occasion. Simply outstanding!

One of the finest restaurant in the world ! For decades, Jean-Georges has been at the top of the culinary family with a strong identity mixing the quality of products, delicacy and innovation.

Great food and delicious! Like the atmosphere here.

Great food , lovely service ... a perfect place for birthday ;)

Excellent as always. The 10 course menu was fantastic all the way through.

The very best in fine dining. Jean Georges is a master at creating beautiful and amazing tasting food. You'll never find a classier restaurant.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the experience for our lunch meal was just perfect. I wouldn't want to go through a 12+ course meal during lunch, so they have a smaller prix fixe menu that is perfect for the mid day meal. The service itself was spectacular, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely nice. The dress code is less strict for lunch reservations, so gentlemen can feel comfortable coming in with a nice dress shirt and not feel underdressed. The big perk here is that you don't want to be wearing a suit after your lunch meal, so it works out perfectly. Despite that, JG still requires jackets for their dinner reservations, which in my opinion is unnecessary. I've been to over 100 michelin restaurants worldwide, and this was a first. The food was also spectacular, every dish was perfect, and the final dessert was out of this world. Out of all of the restaurants we visited during our trip to NYC, JG will stand tall as one of the best. Looking forward to our next visit in the future :)

+2

If you're considering dining at JG you know the bill is going to be pretty hefty, so you already know what you're getting into in terms of price. The food however was fantastic and elegantly plated with a myriad of different flavors and textures. The service and staff were very accommodating and the restaurant ambiance overall was clean, dim and inviting. I'm not sure I've had a better dining experience in NYC.

One of the better Michelin Stared restaurants in Manhattan. Unfortunately, they do not do wine pairings anymore, but they do have a very good wine list.

A tried and true NYC favorite of mine. The sweet spot is coming for lunch. It's beautiful inside the dining room, especially on a clear day. The natural light that filters through is unbeatable. I am not a foodie so I won't comment on the supposed deterioration in quality. All I know is that I'm never in a bad mood after lunch at JG.

Had a really lovely time at @jean_georgesnyc which was the epitome of #finedining, albeit without having to sell a kidney thanks to the prixfixe lunch special 🤗 Each dish was an 11/10 - all had their own unique flavour personality like characters in a play. 🤹🏼‍♀️🤺🧗‍♀️🤽‍♀️ Service was warm and genuine, with just the right amount of attentive - really one of the most flawless fine dining experiences to date. 🍾 Follow @thismodeleatsalot on FB/Insta/YouTube!

Excellent in every way. Unfortunate that it’s in a Trump building. Thankfully, they are able to keep the stink out of the restaurant.

As good as it gets, if you have the opportunity to go, do not pass it by. A true full culinary experience.

Now that’s an experience! For someone who dislikes posh and overly fancy places, I felt rather comfortable there, impeccable service, delicious food, very light spacious and fresh dining room. Loved everything about it. Tasted everything from the NYC Restaurant Week menu and would suggest prawns for starter, chicken for the main and their special salted caramel ice cream with chocolate cake.

I celebrated my birthday here and everything was divine!! Every plate and drink was better than the one before! Service was impeccable!

+6

One of the best pre fixe lunches in NYC. A unique blend of flavors, textures and techniques. The service was attentive but not overbearing. An incredible value for lunch in the city.

we have a lunch here in the NYC restaurant week. The appetizers are innovative, I can tell the chef is trying to mix the taste from other parts of the world with original European taste, such as a spicy fish meat sushi. The entree are excellent with multiple layer taste, also different from traditional French cooking.

One of the best meals of my life! We came here to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and the whole experience from each curated course to the sommelier recommending wines to us was perfection. I also loved the touch where my wife left one of her courses untouched coz she didn’t like it and they whipped us a special meal and showered us with dessert to compensate. Deserving of the 2 Michelin stars!

+6

Service was amazing. Food was absolutely delicious, especially the broccoli soup in the first introductory course. Sadly the dessert wasn't my favorite (I got the chocolate and passion fruit one) but still decent.

+2

Absolutely marvelous meals here, twice. One of the six best restaurants in the United States. Fortunately, we've never seen hide nor hair of donald trump here, which would've taken away from the quality of our dining experience. Staff are just plain incredible, coming as close as any reasonable person would expect, to perfection. Meals with truffles have been especially impressive. Spectacular.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here. French techniques with a not so subtle East Asian (mostly JP) influence. All dishes are excellent and I particularly like the egg toast, king crab purses, sea trout and wagyu beef tenderloin. Perhaps not a defect but more of a style - I find quite a few dishes with fairly dominating flavors or ingredients. Like sourness, ginger in many dishes; chestnut in the foie gras dish. I personally would prefer a more subtle balance of the flavors. Some dishes also feel better suited for warmer seasons (like dishes with hint of mint, citrus). Service is attentive and appropriately friendly for a fine dining place. Kudos for achieving this during a challenging pandemic.

I’m happy to see that Jean-Georges is every bit as good as it was when I was last in NYC with time for an exceptional dinner 9 years ago. It shines in every way and everything is without exception, exceptional. Perhaps in French one would say it’s magnifique! I met Jean-George’s brother Philippe and his daughter both of whom have a role in the tremendously great hospitality on display. It shows that you can be a two star Michelin restaurant and be warm and friendly with customers who prefer a convivial atmosphere rather than a formal one (not that there is anything wrong with that as Seinfeld might say—to each their own!). On my first visit I got to see Burt Reynolds at the table next to ours. On this visit I got to meet Philippe. Maybe next time I will meet Jean-Georges himself and then I can tell him personally how much I’ve loved his restaurants and that I remember and miss Vong from a long time ago.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Excellence of food, vibes, and service. Of course it’s a michelin star restaurant so it must be good but I guarantee it’s be beyond what you can expect! I highly recommend the desserts- they are really on point! One thing is the dishes are very savory so if you prefer more natural and unseasoned food, maybe you might not really like it. However, overall great place for special occasions, like birthdays, Christmas, etc! Diverse selection of food so go for it!

The full experience was great. 6 courses is a lot of food, but 10 is not impossible to accomplish. 1. Let the sommelier do her job. (We went May 4th) She is incredible. Her wine choices for us was absolutely perfect. The best sommelier I met. As a reference, I eat in great restaurants from Hawaii to Tokyo. 2. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Perfect service. Perfect food. Great place.

This experience was incredible! I honestly cannot say anything negative about this fine dining experience. We chose the “Six” omnivore tasting. This was $268 per person. From the start, we had an incredible server. All encounters with Jean-Georges staff were positive. My favorite course was Course 3, the Peekytoe Crab. My least favorite (which was still great) was Course 4, the Black Sea Bass. I can only say I had a least favorite course because I’m just not much of a fan of Sea Bass, but if you, you will enjoy it. Flavorful is such an understatement when describing the food we were served. Only great things to say about Jean-Georges! Thank you. NOTE: Dress up! Even if you feel overdressed - you’re not. Everyone in this restaurant was in either a suit or a proper dress.

Paola Robles Gil

What a delightful experience. From the ambience and service to the food, everything was on point. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and we felt this was a very special experience. We chose the 10-course omnivore tasting menu and it did not disappoint. The only dish we didn't particularly enjoy was the squab. It was cooked perfectly and the ingredients were very interesting, but it felt too heavy as the ninth course and the flavor of the meat had a strong aftertaste. This, I'm sure is a matter of personal taste. I would have personally preferred the wagyu beef from the 6-course menu. The other nine courses, the amuse bouche, the special anniversary mousse dessert and the mignardises were all fabulous! The French and SE Asian flavors were delicate and complex at the same time, combining textures, temperatures and all four flavors plus umami. Just exquisite. Thank you for making our day so special. Shout out to our friendly server from Georgia.

Geoffrey Russell

Great food! Simple flavors, and you can taste each flavor individually while also tasting a new flavor that is the combination of the individual flavors. Classic french. Overall great experience and solidly two Michelin stars all around. The food is at three Michelin stars, but the service had hiccups. For example, we arrived 25 minutes early and were told to stand out in the cold until 4:45pm came (covid means no waiting area, maybe). But no apology. They did, however, come outside as soon as the time came and brought us in. Second, they never brought the check to the table, so after 15 min, we got up to leave (thought they just charge the card on file, service included). Then as I was walking out, they gave me the check (ran it over to me), so I had to awkwardly come back to table and sign it. Just mentioning these because it is room for improvement.

Can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. They made our anniversary so special and were able to accommodate my gluten allergy with gluten free options and substitutions which made me feel looked after. The wagyu was one of the best I've ever had, and that's saying something.

We visited numerous Michelin star restaurants in our New York City visit and all were great but Jean-Georges blew them all out of the water the food was spectacular service was personal and exceptional the sommelier was personable and accommodating the atmosphere was just beautiful the table lighting was beautiful and unique. My wife and I both agree on our last trip Jean-Georges was our favorite and exceeded all our exceptions. I would highly recommend and I want to thank the team for providing us a lasting memory and even allowing us a picture at the pass exceptional!!!

Came here in March 2022 when they got rid of lunch service and only focused on the diner service. This was to celebrate my buddy's entrance into fatherhood and a night out. I got the 10 course omnivore prix fixe menu. The service was great! The waitress serving us knew the menu very well and was knowledgeable in wine selection and pairing. We did not need to request the sommelier because the wine pairing recommendations were well received. The wine pairing that stood out was the king crab risotto and a chardonnay that had notes of oats. The servers were also very attentive, but not intrusive. With regards to the menu and the food quality, if I had to describe a theme, it would be different textures, temperature and intense flavors clashing together within the mouth, melding into a melodic harmony to accentuate each ingredient. This delicate combination is really easy to mess up, but Jean-Georges pulled it off perfectly. The quality of the food is definitely one of the best there is.

Jean-Georges’ flagship restaurant delivers everything expected of a $400 tasting menu, plus some more. One of the best meals of my life. JG’s flavors are bright, inventive, and delicious, marked by judicious use of acidity and flavors from all over Asia. Genius. I’ve never experienced these sorts of interesting flavors at any other restaurant. Despite its age, JG is one of the most youthful and exciting fine dining restaurants in NYC, full of vigor and brimming with fresh ideas. It actively pushes the boundaries of the art of fine dining the same way that a maestro wants to leave an imprint in their own artistic field. JG is worthy of being a destination dining. Caveat: you must love acidity to enjoy a meal here. Normally I highlight the standout dishes. Here, every dish was a standout except two, an exceptionally high hit rate for such a long menu. The caviar with coconut semifreddo and dill oil felt too simplistic and flat: fun concept but seemed missing a few ingredients. The seared foie gras was missing acidity. If it appeared earlier in the meal I’d have enjoyed it more (but then it’d ruin my appetite). A sweet and heavy dish towards the end was a bit much without some acidity to balance it out. Everything else was downright phenomenal, especially the madai sashimi with strawberry, sakura, and wasabi, which sent me directly to the stratosphere. The tuna tartare’s decoration is an exemplar of garnish for flavor, not just aesthetics, as the mint added a nice surprise and significantly changed two or three bites. The dining room was beautifully bathed by natural lighting with a nice view of the mall and skyscrapers. The wine by the glass selection was just as complex and exciting as the food. The service was extraordinary: conversational without feeling rehearsed, and it felt like they’d do everything in their power to make sure you have an excellent dinner. I look forward to my next meal here.

Came here on my bday. They offer 3 tasting menus; 6 or 10 course and a vegetarian option. Great food, well balanced on taste and texture. All cocktails were well made. Ed was our server, service was attentive and fun yet professional. One of the Michelin starred restaurants we would visit again.

Wonderful and friendly staff. Delicious tasting menu. We selected the 6 course menu and we were not disappointed. Great selection of wine; but apparently they don’t offer wine and food pairing options.

Abigail Hay

I mean, would you expect less than 5 stars for a 2-Michelin Star restaurant? The food was delicious, but beyond that, creative and thoughtful. I picked Jean-Georges for my Michelin Star dining experience because the menu sounded stellar. Too many restaurants either over-simplify or over-complicate food. Jean-Georges walks the line of creativity and sophistication without crossing over into absurdity. I will definitely be back once my budget recovers!

Great experience. Food was excellent. Service was attentive. Chose the 4-dishes menu option and it was more than enough. I went for a birthday dinner. We were seated in the more formal back room. Ambience was okay. Curtains were down, so no views - that was disappointing. The back room felt a bit crowded. I didn’t love the environment.

Nice lunch at Nougatine. Classic but tasty bistrot food in a great location.

+5

Our Server was fantastic! Food looked better than it tasted unfortunately. I needed something more to pull out the beautiful flavors of quality foods. Old fashioned cocktail was lacking a little more detail or love, I make better at home. Desserts; subpar but the chocolate anniversary cake was perfect!

Perfect restaurant for a Date, however I was a little disappointed with the host! I had a reservation a 8;30 pm and we ended Up getting our table at 9:10. It took another 30 minutos for them to bring us some bred and offer us drinks.... Food is definitely delicious!!

Caviar Milk Tea should be renamed to include "savory" or an indication it is not sweet. Wine pairing would be preferred. Japanese Ceviche was phenomenal. Benjamin the Sommelier was exceptional beyond his requirements.

Service was great. Food excellent. The only thing I'll note is that for some reason they don't know how to do caramelized onions properly. Which is surprising. Still. I'll be back for more.

A very fine dining experience. Food: High quality when seen from the restaurant's rating. The raw fish dishes did not live up to the hope but many of the cooked fish dishes were excellent. Dessert was outstanding. Service: Excellent. Very good staff who attended to all aspects of the service. Atmosphere: Tables were closer to each other and the dining room was louder than anticipated.

The food was great and service was amazing but there was an individual coughing on the table next to ours the whole time. They also state there is a dress code but it is not really enforced as I saw a few individual who were dressed down with sneakers and black jeans and no jacket. I would bring a change of clothes just to be safe.

It was my first time at a three Michelin star restaurant. It was a good experience but I had very high expectations. The dessert was out of this world but besides that I've had better gastronomic experiences for a lower price.

I came here this Monday for Restaurant Week lunch. The food was great and the lady at the reception desk was nice. My waiter was OK and was really in a rush ( maybe it was restaurant week). I finished my three course finished with 40 minutes.... But I will definitely come back again and enjoy the food next time!

This 2 Michelin star restaurant is a nice treat! Go for a lunch or brunch and enjoy the atmosphere, sufisticated dishes and relatively reasonably priced menu, for the location. Service is sharp, as expected from restaurant in this scale. I have to admit that none of the dishes really made my day and swept me of my feet, but overall very tasty and nice on the eye. I would come back, but paying for price evening menu ia a bit harsh.

First time we went, it was amazing. Each following time, something seemed to be missing. It's amazing, but given the reputation and price point, I can only give it 4 stars. It really all depends on your server. Can't go wrong with the black sea bass and tuna ribbons! The cornish hen was great, too. They have great breads, but don't fill up on that. Dessert is hit or miss.

Overall great experience! Too much food for me, we did the 6 and 10 course respectively. The appetizers were better in the 6 but the mains and dessert were better in the 10. Wish we had choices on menu items because you were stuck with whatever they wanted to serve.

The food was inventive and absolutely incredible. We did the 10-course omnivore tasting and 6-course vegetarian tasting.

Great for an anniversary, birthday or special occasion!

Wladimir Meskelis

Amazing experience, but for a 2 Star Michelin, it needs some improvement! I was expecting something more intimate and the restaurant was packed. We were seated in a table with a long couch with two other families very close to us. We had the six course omnivore and two courses were disappointing: the caviar taste disappeared in the green garbanzo beans; the wagyu per se was tasteless and needs improvement! The last thing was the restroom, which was very basic and not compatible with the restaurant sophistication!

+4

Expected allot more from a 3 Michelin star restaurant. Sauce on my shrimp appetizer was too salted. Beef was flavorless. Butter was really nicely presented, but again it was salted ))) The bass was magnificent though, very original twist with the wild mushroom sauce, unusual combination, but very tasty. Crab risotto was very good as well. Desert I was not crazy about at all. Cheese platter had only 2 choices of cheese but really generous portion. Would have liked more choices but less slices of each. Bread was magnificent! Overall nice experience, but a bit disappointed, at this day and age when people try to stay away from too much salt, I would expect allot less of it . Truly hope they take it under consideration.

Food yesterday evening was exceptionally good, but they just can't get the service right. We arrived as scheduled at 6:15. We were first seated in the downstairs bar area with bright lights beaming on us, but to no avail, as waiter after waiter scurried past us never even glancing at us to acknowledge our presence. When over 10 minutes later the hostess came downstairs, we got up and went to her requesting the we be moved to a more hospitable location and have an experienced waiter assigned to us. She was nice and within 5 or so minutes we were relocated. Our waiter appeared with two glasses of Champagne, gratis of the house. Then he disappeared. Finally, our very nice and efficient water server came by and we had her summon our waiter. And so it went, from the totally unacceptable to the almost tolerable. Relative to the last time we were there, many month ago after we vowed never to return because of the totally unacceptable "service?", this was better.

Had the tasting menu a few years ago, sat outside and was bitten by a lot of mosquitoes. Food is ok, sophisticated but nothing that makes you come back. Super pricey $250 for couple.

Disappointing and not a stand out amongst it's peers i.e., le Bernadin from both the service and food. Not a big fan of new french fusion too much foam not enough substance. Setting and decor seem very forced. Staff not coordinated and very quick to remove dishes ahead. Of service.

With the exception of a pretty dry beef main course, Jean Georges seems to marry top grade, fresh seafood and meat ingredients with dissonant, oftentimes very sour sauces. Couple that with uncomfortable sofa seating with strangers (where you'll feel everyone shifting in their seats and hear many conversations). Great service and location helps.

+3

Bottom line up front: not worth your visit. I don't treat myself dinning in a two Michelin star restaurant often. When I do, I expect a little wow factor. I'm looking for strong/delicate/unique flavor, new ingredients or textures. That's why these places come with a premium. Unfortunately this visit to Jean gorge was just ok. While the service was great, the food lacked oompf. Most of all the wagyu steak found itself in a sauce not complementary to it's flavors. Highlight was dessert, the apple ensemble was delicious and fun but it didn't make up for the "high end" yet meh food. For your once a year special occasion you deserve to be wowed.

Miriam Pang

I had the privilege of coming to JG for my birthday with my siblings so we got the 10 course tasting menu. The ingredients were fresh and I was glad that I got to try the famous egg toast and tuna noodles which were delicious. The rest of the Asian fusion tasting dishes were not great. I love strong flavors like Laksa but I found that some dishes were overly salty. Particularly, the lobster dish tasted like sea water...( I think they forgot coconut milk or something?) The staff however were very understanding and gave us extra dessert because of the lobster dish. People were friendly and I felt very special that I got a really delicious chocolate cake for my birthday.

After much planning and anticipation for parents of two little ones, we finally got around to visiting Jean-Georges and were ready to enjoy a night alone. Arriving and initial service was excellent. The menu was intriguing and delightful. The food was not what we anticipated after having visited similar restaurants. It was my wife's birthday. In short, she had the oysters and by the end of our meal she had gone to the bathroom uncontrollably, three times. After a couple of days of recovering from that, we attempted to communicate with the restaurant about the experience. They avoided us, ignored us, never returned calls or messages to the point that made me write this review. The food was obviously subpar and evidently contaminated. We explore and enjoy a great deal of restaurants and this was by far the worst. We have never had to complain this way. We have never felt so disgusted with service. Jean-Georges management - service doesn't end when your patrons pay.

Still amazed this restaurant was once worthy of three Michelin Stars when we previously visited in 2016. On our last visit my wife agreed her tasting menu was worth no more than two stars. My choice of the alternative ten course was certainly barely a one star. Very disappointed of the fall from grace which most certainly began when they felt that making an effort was no longer required. Won’t be visiting again unless we hear positive reviews. The difference of opinion of the people providing ratings between countries clearly needs review.

+4

Much below expectations. I would've given it three stars if my expectations were not high eating at a three Michelin star restaurant that is so highly rated. Out of the eight courses meal I'd say only one of them was memorable - the caviar served with the egg in its shell. Otherwise - was ok. It's been 3 days since I've dined there and i can hardly remember anything else. The wine pairing was also disappointing - most of them were very dull and one of them, to our pallet was not much drink-able. Another disappointment was that they did not accommodate food allergies reported to them when the reservation was made. I'm lactose intolerant, and what they offered on the spot was to serve some of the courses without the dressing. For me this is outrageous - Who likes to eat dry food..? Without any other reasonable choice I rushed into a CVS to get Lactaid, and had decided to go with the regular menu to enjoy the food. Unfortunately as mentioned it wasn't that enjoyable, really not worth it. I don't think any of us will want to return to that restaurant, though we both tried to really enjoy and appreciate it while we were dining there. It's just that there are soooooooo much better than that! And three Michelin stars? REALLY..? For what exactly..? Compared to others - nah.

+2

Not a Michelin restaurant good food but doesn't have the touch give it a miss the great city of Newyork has many many better restaurants at least if you say you are a Michelin restaurant proof it in your food.

So this was my first time trying a restaurant of this nature. A fixed 10 course menu where there was barely any food on the plate. Lol. I was hopeful going into this reservation because the menu sounded pretty good and it's a three Michelin star restaurant. Has to be good right? Nah not at all. I was literally ranking each dish I received out of ten and the best dish was the first. It was like a crispy rice sashimi and a sip of soup. Similar to what another reviewer said about his experience, it's been 3 days since I've dined there and i can hardly remember anything else. I hated my cocktail, some raspberry thing. Also they were very slow to bring out the next course each time. We were there for about 3 and a half hours and I was literally done and ready to leave an hour in. Just not an experience that I enjoyed. Below are my scores for each course. 1. 8/10 sushi with crispy rice and soup 2. 6/10 bread and caviar 3. 4/10 white fish and peas 4. 4.5/10 tuna ribbons and avacado 5. 4/10 tomato and berry salad 6. 5.5/10 king crab dumpling 7. 7/10 sea bass 8. 5/10 Thai lobster and corn 9. 4/10 foie gra 10. 4.5/10 duck 11. 3/10 dessert I will say that they did notice that my friend did not like his foie gra and offered to make something else in return. We declined but they did give us a second dessert to make up for it. Which was probably one of the better things I had and it wasn't even apart of the tasting menu. It was a lava cake. Overall I can't say I'd return. Just wasn't my thing. Super expensive for mid food. I went in hopeful and came out disappointed.
