My new favorite tasting menu. Was even better than the first time I went. All the proteins were perfectly cooked. Each course was well seasoned and flavorful. The black forest dessert was amazing. It could be a signature dish. It was beautifully plated and a perfect end to the dinner. Ed, our server was excellent and humorous.
First off, if you make a reservation and Ed is working, ask for him! You won't be disappointed. He deserves a review all on his own. His service was like our own private show. He is witty, extremely knowledgeable of every single menu item, and HILARIOUS. Now, for the food. We went on a tasting menu night. Various options for different courses. You can sub out for other items on different menus, or add on. I chose the six course omnivore. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. It's a cozy, classy, but laid back setting. I would suggest wearing business casual attire. Men were in either suits or sport coats, and quarter zips. Women in dresses, pants suits, or similar. You won't beat the service here. It's an experience. You will find yourself liking dishes you might normally shy away from. Compliments to the chef, and Ed.
Now this is what fine dining is.This, while being the most expensive michelin star ive been to, was hands down the best I've ever had. I tried the 10 course omnivore and the classic tasting menu. The amount of truffles, uni, and foie gras was enough to send me to heaven. The starts of the show had to have been the classics. The squab, tuna noodles, egg toast were the things I cant stop thinking about. The service, of course, impeccable. And I found out at the end of the course, the original lava cake was discovered by Jean Georges himself, so of course it was the most delectable lava cake i've had in my life. To top it all off, they roll over an unlimited dessert cart to you in the end, as if I didnt already run out of stomach space. Everyone also gets an almond cake to go at the end. Bonus points because their bathroom has the good soap and lotion.
Enjoyed lunch today and it was spectacular. Should be a 3 star Michelin! I have eaten all over the world and this was one of the best meals ever! The service was refined and perfection to match.
Came for late lunch , the place is beautiful and very fancy The menu is very diverse and the staff very professional, this is a very refined place and winter is the best time to be here .
The best restaurant in NYC... hand down !!! My wife and I had an absolutely exceptional night at Jean-Georges. We started with cocktails that were inventive, balanced, and expertly mixed -- a perfect way to begin. I enjoyed the 10-course tasting menu and my wife took the 6-course tasting menu; both were impeccably executed. Every course arrived precisely when it should have -- beautifully plated, thoughtful in flavor combination, and with terrific attention to texture and seasoning. A few standouts for us were a pristine seafood course and a perfectly cooked protein course, and the desserts were elegant without being heavy. Service here is an art form. The staff were superb -- choreographed and on top of every detail without ever feeling intrusive. From the hostess to the servers and runners, timing and coordination were flawless; plates were explained succinctly, the pacing never rushed, and refills/wine attention felt effortless. The dining room itself is elegant and modern with large windows that frame Central Park/Columbus Circle -- great for a special evening. Is it pricey? Yes -- but for the level of food, presentation, and service it felt like a worthy splurge. Perfect for anniversaries, and celebrations. Practical tips: book well in advance, request a window table if you want the view, and allow a couple of hours for the full tasting experience. I took us about 3 hours. Bottom line: phenomenal cocktails, world-class tasting menus, and staff who run a flawless dining choreography -- for us, easily one of the best restaurants in New York City. Highly recommended.
Jean-Georges delivers a masterclass in fine dining. From the moment you're seated at a table under glowing ceiling lights, you're in for something special. The space is serene--huge windows frame trees and sky, while the floral arrangements and soft-spoken staff create a calm, elegant atmosphere. The food? Next level. They offered us an amuse bouche of Tasmanian trout and a spring pea-Parmesan fritter which were both light and refreshing. They also imported their butter from France and served it with a variety of fresh bread. We chose the 3 savoury + 1 dessert tasting menu as a pair, so we tried 8 different items. Course 1 Foie gras: 10/10. The best I've had--umami-rich with mango-tamarind and pineapple tajin. Unexpectedly nostalgic to another fatty food, bone marrow, I used to have as a child. Yellowfin tuna: Fresh and well-prepared, though I wanted more acidity. Course 2 Dumpling in sour cream sauce--savory, creamy, balanced. Gulf shrimp was also great but not as memorable for me Course 3 Duck: Perfectly crisped skin, deeply umami. 10/10. Wagyu: Also a knockout. Broccoli and cheese sauces added richness and an esthetically bright citrus contrast. 10/10 Course 4 Comté cheese aged for several years was delicious Deconstructed black forest cake was an interesting blend of flavours although I would have loved more actual cake The restaurant experience was topped with gifted desserts at the end of the meal which were a lineup of chocolates and bonbons. Every detail felt intentional and elevated without trying too hard. Worth the splurge.
I think out of all high-end restaurants, this place has the most comfortable staff and services, as it makes me feel like I'm eating in my house, and the conversations with the staffs aren't as stiff compared to other restaurants of similar tier. I had their regular 10-course omnivore tasting menu, and they've offered to replace the dessert on my menu to another dessert on another menu. Here's my opinion on each one of the courses: 1. Amuse Bouche: each one has its own flavor, and they are mainly buttery and a bit salty without being too extreme. 10/10. 2. Egg Toast: It does have some toasty and smoky flavor similar to one of the amuse bouche, along with the saltiness from the caviar, it makes the dish flavorful. 8/10. 3. Amberjack ceviche: I think this is mostly veggie with a bit of fruity flavor. It balanced out the previous dish, but alone would be average. 7/10. 4. Yellowfin tuna: I think it's cooked differently from how I was used to, which makes this dish a little bit bland, but I wouldn't mind it considering the previous dishes are of different flavors, which makes this balance out. 6/10. 5. Heirloom tomato: a bunch of fresh fruity flavor is coming out from this dish, with a bit of sweetness from the tomato. 7/10. 6. Scamorza Dumplings: pretty average, similar to a homemade dish, but you can taste the highlights from each of the ingredients in the dish. 8/10. 7. Black sea bass: Very nice juicy flavors from the fish, and the bass is tender. 8.5/10. 8. Maine Lobster: pretty much a dish that I was used to when eating lobster, and possibly out of all dining places I've been to, the best cooked lobster I've had. I'm not a fan of the side dish pairings with the lobster though. 8/10. 9. Hudson Valley Foie Gras: my favorite dish, which had the sides balance out with the foie gras and gave it a pop of sweetness and souriness as a flavor. 10/10. 10. Wagyu Striploin: the side dishes with the juicy wagyu makes each flavor from the ingredients pop out. 9.5/10. 11. Fig ice cream: Very fruity flavor from the ice cream 7/10. The staff at the end came out with the dessert cart, which comes with champagne gummy bear, all sorts of different chocolates and cookies, and also tea. Overall, a comfortable experience! 7.8/10 for the food, and 10/10 for the service!
Came here for my birthday dinner and I can confidently say this is THE BEST fine dining / Michelin star restaurant I've EVER been to in my life. And I've been to a fair share of fine dining / Michelin star restaurants globally. To start off, service was literally IMPECCABLE. Like I know Michelin star fine dining restaurants are held to a high standard for service but omg the service was just... next level. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted warmly by the hostess, who guides you to your seat. The servers are all sooooo knowledgeable and witty. I made a mess trying to eat my egg toast, and they swiftly came to cover up the mess. Also I adoredddd the personal touch they added with a birthday card, birthday cake, and a little goodie bag with pastries for the next morning. Things like this make a restaurant experience go from just "amazing" to "a truly life changing experience". Ambience is also just PERFECTION. Love how spaced out the seatings are. The seats are sooo cushiony and comfortable. The large windows are also amazing--- I loved how I was able to experience the restaurant when it was still light out, when the sun was setting, and when it got dark. The interior is literally like a chameleon. I definitely recommend coming here for dinner to be able to get the whole experience. And where do I start with the food. We got the 10-course omnivore tasting menu and everything was PERFECTION. I've been to quite a few Michelin star places where some dishes are amazing, but others are meh. Here, LITERALLY EVERYTHING was chefs kiss... there's nothing I would change about the menu!! Do note though that 10 course is.... Definitely a challenge when you don't have a big appetite. Next time, I might have to opt for the 6 course instead. - Amuse Bouche: 10000/10 (as an Asian that's used to good sushi, I'm very critical about sushi in non-Asian restaurants but the one here was amazing. The zucchini was soooo flavorful too and the uni was just mouthwateringly good. You can tell they use good uni, because it's sweet and not bitter.) - Egg toast: 100/10 (this thing is packed with caviar!! It's amazing but also soooo hard to eat!! DO NOT repeat my mistake and attempt to bite down on it.. please just have it in one bite, or cut it first) - Japanese snapper: 10000/10 (first off this dish is just beautiful to look at. It's also refreshing and sooo good... perfect to eat after the relatively heavier egg toast) - Yellowfin tuna: 1000000/10 (some of the best tuna appetizer I've ever had. Love the slightly creamy and citrusy sauce) - Heirloom tomato: 10/10 (loved the fresh tomato!!! This really reminded me of the tomato appetizer I had in Soil, which is a Michelin 1 star restaurant in Athens) - Kabocha Squash: 10000/10 (magnificent plating.. just look at how the plate created the shadows! The swish itself was also amazing, especially when paired with the truffles) - Maine lobster: 1000000/10 (I was already so full by this course but omg the lobster.... Best lobster I've ever had. Cooked to perfection and the sauce was soooo good) - Foie gras: 1000000000/10 (literally this was a life changing foie gras dish. Looks small, but don't be fooled by its size... it's super heavy and decadent!!) - Duck breast: 10000000000000/10 (tbh I could barely eat at this point but the duck was literally the BEST duck I've ever had in my LIFE. The Sichuan sauce really added a nice kick) - Passion fruit flower: 1000/10 (amazing presentation and amazingly tangy and creamy flavor) - Chocolate cake: 1000/10 (sooo rich and sooo good) - Dessert cart: 10000/10 (some of the best marshmallow and chocolate I've had in a while) Finally, we HAVE to talk about the wine!!! The sommelier was amazing-- he had really good recommendations and did an amazing job decanting the wine.
Astoundingly good food in one of the classiest interiors in Manhattan, with terrific service. 5 star food: Jean-Georges has a master chef at the helm. The food is always inventive and usually pretty amazing. 5 star ambience: there are few places in NyC with this level Of food with an interior and outdoor view this beautiful. Big plate glass windows look right out onto Central Park 5 star service: servers are almost ninjas here. They're smiling and glide in and out like a choreographed ballet.
Incredible dinner experience! The staff were all so engaging and made our journey through the menu unforgettable. We did add the egg toast as an additional plate and I could eat only that everyday! It's a must. The wine selection was fantastic, exactly what we asked for. Unique flavor combinations such as sweet corn and pasta, were a wonderful culinary surprise.
The best high end dining in NYC. Everything was impeccable. Service, food, table setting, decor, and ambiance. Well worth it for a splurge. Lunch is back! Highly recommend it. Dress up and enjoy it all.
I've been to a 3 star Michelin in Napa/Sonoma, but this experience at Jean-Georges blew it out of the water. An absolute bucket list item I can't wait to repeat again and again. The food was absolute PERFECTION, to die for. Coming from Santa Barbara, the Amuse-bouche starting with Santa Barbara Uni was just the cherry on top! Every single bite got better one after the other. The space is intimate and unpretentious as was the excellent service! This is the second 2 star Michelins that we've been to and both far surpassed the food from the 3 star. It leaves one to wonder if the focus on the food rather than the pomp and circumstance is the aim for such an epic dining experience. We will be back again and again! Worth every penny!
5 stars does not do this restaurant justice. We went here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, and opted for the ten course pre-fixe menu. Every dish was refined, elegant, and the ingredients were meant to pair perfectly with one another. Our cocktails were tasty, nothing that would blow your mind, but very approachable. The service was on point. The entire team worked in unison for flawless execution. Our server was polite, knowledgeable, and personable. Explained every course and answered all of our questions that we had without skipping a beat. This is everything you would expect in a Michelin star restaurant. Thank you all for making our this birthday dinner a memory we will cherish forever. read more
Jean-Georges came highly recommended by multiple people, including my good friend, who absolutely loves this place. So, we decided to go for dinner before our show. I had the raspberry Bellini, lychee, lobster burger, squash salad, shrimp salad, and almond cake. Everything was good, but the lobster burger was definitely the highlight. It was recommended to me, and it did not disappoint! It's a small, pricey restaurant, but not overly pretentious or uppity.The staff was incredible and, in my opinion, really made the experience. The location is also very convenient and close to the subway. I would absolutely come back! read more

Celebrated my anniversary here recently. With a restaurant of this caliber and price point, you expect perfection across food, ambiance, & service and I feel like this place delivered. It's not the best meal I've ever had and there were some dishes I enjoyed more than others, but overall this was a true experience that I would recommend, especially if you're celebrating something or someone special. Some things to consider: -There were 4 tasting menu options when we went: 6 course, 6 course (vegetarian), 10 course, and a special after the original debut years ago. We opted for the 10 course. -10 course is said to take 3-3.5 hours and it's true. We were there for about 4 hours! They do a spectacular job pacing the food - we didn't feel rushed and yet the 4 hours flew by. -There is no wine pairing option, but the waiters are super knowledgeable so if you let them know you want to do something similar to a wine pairing they have great recs based on the menu. Food: I won't go through each course, but I left stuffed. The price point is high ($398 / person for 10 courses), but it's actually a pretty good deal all things considered. It might be the most generous portion sizes I've had for a tasting menu! I thought the dishes were unique and inventive, but elevated and without trying too hard to be "cool". Some favorites were the Heirloom Tomato's, Eylsian Field Lamb, and Black Forest dessert. They also have a little dessert cart with mini desserts - you get to choose as many as you like. Such a cute touch. They also gave us a free cake with candles for our anniversary- definitely a personable touch I appreciated. And they send you home with a mini loaf of almond bread, so good! read more

Jean-Georges acclaimed restaurant is set in such an elegant dining room that's a haven from the chaos of columbus circle outside. I had the lunch six-course meal, started off with staff being so friendly and inviting with engaging small talk as well and made me feel at home. The dining room has tall ceilings and windows with nice views of the Columbus circle and skyscrapers along 5th avenue. Seats were very comfortable. The lunch menu started off with amuse bouche - sashimi and cheese/truffle fritter - both had gentle but deep tastes to start lunch and build anticipation, personally preferred the sushi more. Next was the notable egg toast - outstanding with soft, delicious egg yolk, so flavorful with brioche balanced by saltiness from caviar (coming from someone who normally doesn't like caviar). The yellowfin tuna was fine, not much of an impact but perhaps from unfortunately following the egg toast. Hudson valley foie gras went fantastic with cranberry sauce and was soft and gentle but with excellent contrasting textures with kinako. The tautog was my second favorite dish huge impact of flavors. The duck breast was cooked perfectly with juicy, tender meat and crispier skin, balanced by different sauces. Finally the apple confit was such a fun dish to eat by first "smashing" on the pumpkin, contrasting soft and crunchy textures but not too much sweetness as I normally would like for dessert. The bread had slightly salty butter with fresh taste, airy with crunchy skin. Overall a great lunch, perhaps a bit overpriced for amount of food but so tasty. Would definitely return to try the dinner full course! read more
We had a wonderful birthday celebration here. Service was topnotch, thoughtful, professional, detailed. Dinner was great in general, much more asian flavor inspired than I expected. My fav of the night was the Lobster Dumpling, the lemongrass flavor stands out (if I rmb right) Love that you can choose different menu, and there's Cocktail options. read more

Wow, we really had a nice evening at Jean-Georges. Been on my list to come here for a while and it didn't disappoint. Roger, our server, was excellent and made some great recommendations. We did the 10 course tasting and enjoyed every morsel. Service, ambiance, food - all top notch. Definitely deserving of it's 2 Michelin stars. I also highly recommend having the Chocolate Martini, it's a very unique take on it. read more

What an incredible night. We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary and it was everything you could imagine. The service was impeccable. Never overbearing yet super attentive. The dining room is simple, elegant and timeless. But the food. The food was out of this world. Delicious food that pleases the eyes as well as the tastebuds. Gorgeous presentation and placement as well. read more

Went there for the ten course tasting menu and it was magnificent! The butter is worth dying; that sea trout over crispy sushi set the tone of what we should be expecting. Never have I had such caviar; it's every caviar lover's dream come true. The only dish I wasn't a fan is the Foie Gras due to the pairing of the sweet pineapple sauce.... Doesn't match well. The chocolate trolley at the end was such a pleasant surprise, and we enjoyed each and every one of those. Our server is the lovely Elizabet, amazing overall experience and her knowledge to each items is truly outstanding. read more

Been a while since I gave a 5 star review, but this was so deserving!! Food and service were amazing. We ordered the 6 course menu for $298pp. Each dish was unique with creative flavors and everything worked very well. I also loved the asian influence on the dishes. One of my favorite fine dining restaurants for sure! read more

We went for Sunday brunch during NYC restaurant week. Their menu was just perfect in terms portions for a prix fix menu.. flavors of the dishes were outstanding. Loved the unique combination of flavors and textures chef used to elevate each dish.. even the colors in each dish were beautiful.. each plate was a work of art! we got a table facing the central park and it was perfect. Their burrata appetizer that comes with toasted bread was heavenly and so was their entree with crispy chicken... service was really good too.. our server had great recommendations for drinks.. they do customize their drinks and made them 'skinny' (less sugary) version as I wanted. The only small hiccup in service was they forgot to give us the package of left over food. Would definitely visit again. It offers the Michelin star experience we were expecting. Highly recommended read more

Ask the Community - Jean-Georges
Is the restaurant wheelchair accessible?
Yes, I believe there is a ramp (up Trump tower) to the front entrance and the rest of the restaurant is all on one floor
Hello, What is the difference between breakfast and lunch?…
Jean-Georges isn't open for Breakfast, only lunch and dinner. On the other hand, Nougatine which is the other restaurant located in Trump Tower---next to Jean-Georges is open for Breakfast. No prixe-fixe at Nougatine.
What would my wife and I wear if we were to go to lunch here?
Jacket in main dining room. Overall simple and smart for both as you would enjoy the dining experience even more feeling a little more upscale vs slumming through the meal
What are some tips for getting a table during lunch?
Reservations can be booked up to 31 days in advance. Choose your date and book right at midnight to ensure you have first choice of your desired time.
Can you only order from the prefix menu for dinner?
Having been there recently, I can answer yes.
What is the minimum age allowed in the main dining room? I thought it used to be 12.
It is still 12, at least that is what I understood. I did in fact make sure that my son also donned a sports coat, just to keep with the dress code ?
