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!

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!

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.

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!!!

Jean Georges is always a wonderful treat! Every detail from the gorgeous dining room and comfortable seating to the impeccable service is THE BEST. And the food is always the star. We loved the 10 course menu and I included photos of our very favorite dishes.

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.

The food was inventive and absolutely incredible. We did the 10-course omnivore tasting and 6-course vegetarian tasting. Wish the bread was warm, but loved the little treats and the take-home almond cake at the end. Dinner was a very long and leisurely experience. Great for an anniversary, birthday or special occasion!

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.
