    Came here the other night for my daughter's birthday as it was a place she's been wanting to try and we came away happy with the service and the food. My daughter ordered the spaghetti and said the sauce was one of the best she's ever had. She also really liked her dirty Jean martini. I tried the 1987 chicken salad and it was plated nicely and was tasty. I asked the waitress to bring a dessert with a candle and she gladly complied. The chocolate chip cookie is enormous and the bourbon infused milk poured on top was quite interesting.

    Steak frites. VERY SALTY
    Renata G.

    This is BJ's of New York (for those who don't know it's a chain like Cheesecake Factory). They got the pizookie, uninspired menu with mediocre execution and very slow service. Actually at BJs you'll get your food quicker. I got a seafood tower to share and steak frites as a main. For 65$ you get measly oysters a few shrimp and some salty fish..super underwhelming quality of seafood. And steak frites is doused in salt. That's all I tasted. Is the food old? Or does the chef have no taste buds? That's up for discussion. They were out of a few drinks and it took them an hour to serve an aperol spritz. Let's do them a favor and not pack the establishment so maybe the quality of the food/drinks will improve. At this price level I can get the best food in the city. Yet I spent it at this place. Regrets.. The only great thing about Jean's is their playlist. Keep in mind, they can only split the bill 3 ways if you come with a big group. SKIP.

    Loved this bar! It was absolutely packed when we visited on a Thursday evening, but we grabbed a couple seats at the bar and were served quickly. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I ordered but it was citrusy and refreshing. The lighting was on point, which is something I always notice in a loungey bar. Would love to come back and try their food sometime!

    NYE Early Dinner Set Menu - oyster
    Megan W.

    I came here on NYE and this is easily the worst dinning experience I've had in NYC since moving here 8 months ago. I came with a few girlfriends and we were one of the first few tables seated. The place is designed really beautifully, that was the best part. Our waiter was pretty nice and to start he took drink orders. Then we were brought an oyster which was nice and then bread which was absolutely incredible but we wish there had been more than one bun for each of us. We noticed the table of two next to us was served the same size portion as our table of five. Next they brought out a tuna tartare which was yummy and a good size. And finally we got the duck and shared veggies. And again the veggies to share were the same size as the table for two which resulted in about a half of a carrot and a few slices of cabbage each. The duck was tiny and mine had a large strip of fat down it. It was at this point we received our first round of drinks. After the rest of the dinning room had already gotten their's even though we were one of the first orders. The bartender wasn't even at the bar until we finished our second course. We also notice that our table seems to be one course behind, making both our food and drinks late. At this point they bring out dessert which was yummy and again a good size. Around this time we are finishing our first drink so we order a second to have after dessert. At this point we have been here for 2 hours and only just received our second drink. I will not be coming back and I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially if you start to take into account the prices.

    French dip
    Ashley W.

    The food was really good but the service was a little strange. It has an upscale vibe inside and there's a coat check when you walk in which is nice. It's white table cloth dining. It has a really nice open spacious feel and would be great for celebrations. Appetizers: -The lobster roll was decent but the cup of broth was rich in flavor and perhaps even better than the actual roll. -The scallops were fresh with a hint of extra flavor maybe it was a little citrus fruit on top but it added a dynamic flavor profile which was pleasant. -The shrimp cocktail was fine - I wouldn't get it as there many other more interesting things in the menu. -The arugula salad was light. -The bread and butter was also just okay - not worth getting. Mains: - French Dip (which they are known for) was pretty good but they sadly room the dish away that had the broth on it too soon we didn't get to dip. - The ravioli pasta thing we got with truffle was easily the star of the show! This was an absolutely phenomenal dish with heavy hearty flavors and a great texture. The truffle added no flavor though which is disappointing. You can skip that addition. - the pomodoro was pretty good. The pasta its self had a lovely chewy texture. The sauce is fresh and light. - the steak was a little disappointing... it was very chewy like to the point where I couldn't really eat it. Maybe the other pieces were better but mine were tough even though we got medium rare. Sides: - the seasonal vegetables were delicious and fresh but we didn't really know what they were lol - the carrots were good but nothing special Dessert: the bread pudding is probably the best bread pudding I've bed had. Like wow. Honestly a life changing bread pudding. The flavors were decadent and little soft raisins were perfect addition for texture. The cookie was fine, it has a lot of chocolate which I like but my friends like the cookie part more. The server had a slightly chaotic energy and kind of kept walking away when we were trying to add things to our order but then they sent a chocolate chip cookie over so that was nice. He just didn't let us finish talking at times. Also. I did lose my earring here and it was never found sadly. Overall, it was good experience but I'm not sure I'd recommend given how off put I was by the service and some of our food choices just didn't hit. My friend had been before and had a better experience the first time she was there.

    Very sexy dinner vibes in here. Busy chatty ambiance great for dining out with groups and girlfriends. Downstairs was absolutely lovely and fun. Martinis are 10/10 and the signature cocktail Lichi Li was so yum. Will be back again for dinner & dancing.

    We ate in the restaurant and the food was great! I loved the burger, steak and the cookie for dessert was incredible. The service at the table was good and then they took us downstairs which was a lot of fun.

    jeans is such a chic spot with delish dishes. my favs were the french dip and bolognese. ceaser salad and pomodoro weren't memorable. loveddd the bread and our giant cookie dessert, it was the perfect size for the 6 of us. waiter also gave us free espresso martini shots for christina's birthday!! wanting to come back on the weekend when it gets dancey

    Was invited to dinner here by a friend and came with a party of 4. Before our reservation, I had done some searching on the restaurant and saw it was a "scene-y" place to have dinner which normally deter me as I found based on my past experiences. This usually means the quality of food and/or service is sacrifice, but that was not the case of jeans. We were promptly seated for our 9 PM reservation and immediately began to peruse the menus. I had a wonderful Mezcal drink, and the rest of my ordered various cocktails as well. We then ordered the oysters, tuna carpaccio and beef tartare to start. While the size of the oysters was disappointing (so small!), the tuna and beef were incredible!! For our mains, we shared the Bistro Burger, one of the highlights of the restaurant, and the special of the day which was a pasta egg yolk dish. Both were absolute perfection. Having heard about the famous chocolate chip cookie dessert, our party was hoping to have ordered that, but we were informed they did not have it on the menu so instead we opted for their summer dessert option of a peach cobbler, which was so delicious. One of the better ones I've tried outside of the dining in the South. The restaurant has lots of music and plenty of young people talking with dark, ambient lighting. You'll come to realize many of these young people, the later you dine in the evening, are hoping to then enter the underground club below. I had the opportunity to go Myself, and although it was a Thursday evening, the party was just getting started. There was plenty of space, great lounge seating, as well as free water and endless funky disco. No one was using their phones, and the majority of the crowd was either socializing or on the dance floor, which was great to see. I would absolutely come back - to both the restaurant and the club!

    It's very hard to write a negative review on a restaurant but sometimes it is absolutely important. This place is somewhat of a mix between a hillstone want to be and corner store want to be. There is an extremely high ratio of carbs to protein in all of the dishes I think for the $400 we spent we ate like a few grabs of protein. Would not recommend coming here. It feels like a total rip off. Also restaurant was totally empty. That being said, the hostess and person who sat us was very nice.

    Accidentally left a review meant for another place! I enjoyed jeans & the ambiance/vibes/food were all great and to be expected. Unfortunately we didn't get to go to the downstairs due to a private event, but we'll have to come back. Service was good. We went at 6 and left by 8:30 and it still hadn't filled up.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

The Amazake Kick was balanced with just the right amount of sweetness, making it a fantastic starter. For food, we ordered the scotch egg, sliders, and fish and chips. The scotch egg was solid, though the sausage layer felt slightly dry this time around. The sliders were great, while the fish and chips were decent--nicely crispy, but the fish needed a bit more flavor seasoning.
