Reviews for Jean-Georges in New York, NY
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 placescome 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 ensemblewas delicious and fun but it didn't make up for the "high end" yet meh food. For your once a year special occasion you deserveto be wowed. Read more
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 fusiontasting 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 veryunderstanding and gave us extra dessert because of the lobster dish. People were friendly and I felt very special that I got areally delicious chocolate cake for my birthday. Read more
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 starrestaurant. Has to be good right? Nah not at all. I was literally ranking each dish I received out of ten and the best dish wasthe first. It was like a crispy rice sashimi and a sip of soup. Similar to what another reviewer said about his experience, it'sbeen 3 days since I've dined there and i can hardly remember anything else. I hated my cocktail, some raspberry thing. Also theywere 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 andready to leave an hour in. Just not an experience that I enjoyed. Below are my scores for each course. 1. 8/10 sushi withcrispy 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 andberry 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 inreturn. We declined but they did give us a second dessert to make up for it. Which was probably one of the better things I hadand 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. Superexpensive for mid food. I went in hopeful and came out disappointed. Read more
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 hercourses 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!

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 Michelinstarred restaurants we would visit again. Read more
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! Thewaitress serving us knew the menu very well and was knowledgeable in wine selection and pairing. We did not need to request thesommelier because the wine pairing recommendations were well received. The wine pairing that stood out was the king crab risottoand a chardonnay that had notes of oats. The servers were also very attentive, but not intrusive. With regards to the menu andthe food quality, if I had to describe a theme, it would be different textures, temperature and intense flavors clashingtogether within the mouth, melding into a melodic harmony to accentuate each ingredient. This delicate combination is reallyeasy to mess up, but Jean-Georges pulled it off perfectly. The quality of the food is definitely one of the best there is. Read more
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 andblack jeans and no jacket. I would bring a change of clothes just to be safe. Read more
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 feeleveryone shifting in their seats and hear many conversations). Great service and location helps. Read more
