Beauty is but a facade. The stunning ambiance draws you in and that's where it leaves you. The lackluster service was almost deafening. Drinks, tasty, but took ages and it seemed as though our server preferred the company of his colleagues as opposed to our table, and that trickled to the other tables. The only savior of this dinner was the fried chicken. Fresh ingredients. Unless you're bringing family here whom you'd rather not converse with, avoid. They're as cold as their bread and butter. (i'm serious, cold bread and colder butter). So much potential and the mark was entirely missed.

Red snapper sashimi

I came here for a networking event, and they served these apps in Tapas style. Everything was so delicious! My favorite is the Calamari. It came with this Yuzu Foam that was light and fluffy and added some tart and sweetness to the crispy and savory calamari. Just thinking about it is making me drool a bit... All their ingredients taste so fresh and very well seasoned. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. The dining area is also extremely beautiful with a nice view of the water and sunset in the afternoon/early evening. Perfect date night spot. The service staff were impeccable and amazing. Everyone is so nice and courteous. I can't wait to come back.

Finally took time to see Jean George's and Cedric's place. What a cool location, space and decor. It gives me the high end 1990s NYC energy. The food was really well executed, enjoyed it a lot. I think maybe some of the bar presentation was a bit underwheling for the caliber of the place (such as glasses and infredients into G&T). I would have preferred white table cloths and maybe some more help to the server staff with training (regretably when collecting the paper table mats clumsily spilled crumbs into my lap). Not a big deal but the aspiration is to reach the ideals of service of the high end gastronomy. Lovely people though!

Bittersweet Chocolate Pudding

Returned for brunch and had a wonderful meal. My boyfriend and I shared: + Crispy calamari + Baby gem and arugula salad + Black truffle burger + Chocolate pudding The highlights were the calamari and dessert (the candied violets in that pudding are just next level), though everything was great per usual.

Crispy Skin Salmon

The restaurant has a very unique and unassuming look. It's almost like a hotel lobby restaurant vibe. The waiters (Henry) were fabulous with recommendations and knowledge. For starters we had the pear salad which was great but the calamari was the star of the appetizers. The crisp was amazing and the sauce was incredible - despite its looks. For the main course we had the salmon and lobster raviolis. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the vegetables were the star and the sauce was amazing. The sauce for the lobster ravioli was terrific too!! The lobster, of course, was great and the only disappointing bit was the ravioli itself. There just wasn't anything spectacular about the taste. The sorbet to close the night was perfect and refreshing,

Crispy Artichoke
Kelsey A.

Absolutely wonderful meal. The menu presents itself as a standard, nice meal, but the flavors that come out of the kitchen bowled me over. Everything was perfectly cooked, perfectly dressed, and perfectly presented. I was obsessed with my entree, the seared black bass with roasted maitake mushroom, aromatic basil broth. It was incredible. I also loved the crispy artichoke with roasted sunchokes, garlic vinaigrette, celeriac. Finally, the rice cracker crusted tuna was wonderful, though I wasn't in love with the citrus-sriracha emulsion. Our dessert, the gingerbread Bundt cake with cranberry sorbet, tasted just like the holidays. All in all, a wonderful meal.

They welcomed us like family. Introduced themselves, sat us right away. Came around often to top us off with water. The cocktails were outstanding, and the food, amazing! I was so impressed. The caviar dish is a must. The asparagus salad is also not to be missed. Both of their cheese appetizers were incredible, the bass was great, and that had to be one of the best salmon dishes I've ever had. The preparation was flawless. The broth was incredible, it was a nice juicy piece with the crispy skin...incredibly well executed. The Balthazar bread is always excellent. The deserts, strawberry shortcake and chocolate dish...delicious. We were full, but made room, they were too good to leave behind. Again, thank you a million times over. Please keep doing what you're doing, all of you. This is truly (STILL) an NYC gem!

Molten Chocolate Cake
Ruina Z.

Third time visiting Perry Street and can now reliably say it is definitely a charm! This time I came with a group of friends on a Sunday evening and tried their winter restaurant week menu, which is a 3-course menu for $60. Tried their pumpkin and basil pot stickers (with soy-lime and ginger sauce), sauteed pork loin, and molten chocolate cake. Loved the Korean-inspired samjang sauce with the pork loin as it provided a unique twist and boldened the flavor. Service has always been outstanding at Perry Street. We were greeted immediately upon entering. Staff was attentive without being overbearing throughout the meal. Sadly, they were quite busy during restaurant week and we were asked to vacate the table and move to the lounge after about 2 hours of meal time - understandable for sure, but not the most pleasant dining experience (especially since we were not informed of the dining time limit when we made the reservation).

Pan Seared Pork Chops

Came here for restaurant week and had such a lovely experience! The inside is upscale and classy, with a gorgeous dining room. The food was excellent too! The highlight of the restaurant week menu was certainly the molten lava cake.

tea
Alice W.

Jean Georges always does a good job with the food quality and with the food presentation. Came here for a Sunday night dinner because I wanted to take advantage of the restaurant week deal - 2 courses for $60 (which is more expensive than other places but I think high quality is worth a higher premium on pricing). The service here was great, I asked for tea and they brought it to me in a very pretty / rustic looking saucer cup. The foods: -shrimp dumplings: yummy but maybe a little bit too sweet for the chili for my liking -salmon sashimi: fresh salmon, good quality -roasted hake: the presentation and color of the fish was amazing, I loved how it was an almost translucent color -roast duck: the polenta was really yummy and this presentation was equally amazing, this was probably my favorite dish. Overall thoughts: quality was good and presentation of the dishes were really additive but to me I think the menu was quite ordinary / not as experimental as I had expected. Would recommend since it's good quality and solid food.

Butter Poached Lobster
Kalila W.

This was definitely my favorite meal of my recent trip and one of the best meals I've had in NYC. Outdoor patio was cute, I was sat immediately. Service was prompt and friendly. The general Manager was a sweetheart and shared his own experience with the food. I ordered the black truffle brie to start. Honey was the perfect accompaniment to the delicious cheese, and i was appreciative of the salad with vinaigrette and berries on the side. My main dish was the butter poached lobster. Chunks of perfectly poached lobster with potato ravioli and spinach, a lemongrass kafir broth poured over top. This has to be one of the best lobster dishes I've ever had. I have to come back just for this.. stuff of dreams. Thanks for the experience, Perry St.

A friend and I wanted to "celebrate" Restaurant Week. She mentioned Perry St. being on her list, so we decided to come. We found free parking around the corner at 6pm on a weekday so I was happy even before setting foot in the restaurant. The first thing I noticed was Perry St.'s outdoor seating. It was set back from the sidewalk and raised up a bit. There were planters between the tables and the sidewalk which gave diners a bit of privacy from passersby. Upon entering the restaurant, I really liked the clean modern look. The waitstaff was very accommodating and friendly. The food was good and the drinks were even better.

Food and ambiance amazing. Service top tier. Definitely recommend. It was the perfect setting for a date night and birthday.

Does Perry Street still have a prix fixe lunch? No mention of it on their website menu as of 12/27/17.

Yes it's in the website, but hard to see due to spacing. Look carefully above the second list of appetizers and you'll see "taste of winter menu" or something: $38 for 3 courses.

Although I would've preferred to have been seated away from a family with 3 loud, ill-behaved kids, it was still a nice cozy table. On our table we found a nice Happy Anniversary card, which was very sweet! Our server Selma L. greeted us warmly and with a smile. Selma L. was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu and remained very available and checked in on us often throughout our meal. I knew I wanted the Escargots en Persillade(my favorites!), and we paired them with Mushroom&Ricotta ravioli, and the Branzino. Every dish was perfectly paired with sauces and flavors blended well together. The Branzino skin was perfectly crispy, the potatoes were a little softer than I'd personally like but were still tasty. We made sure to save room for dessert and I'm so glad we did. We tried the chocolate lava cake and the cheesecake and were gifted two glasses of dessert wine and truffles. Everything is made from scratch, in-house. The New York cheesecake stood out ahead of the lava cake but I would order both again. This restaurant is perfectly situated to accommodate you for a pre-show dinner, and offer discounted meals starting at 8pm-close. We'd definitely return to try other menu items, and enjoy another date night, albeit not surrounded by kids!!!

I myself got the Saint Jacques Grilles (scallops with risotto and porcini sauce) which to me was cooked to perfection. The scallops were buttery soft, the risotto the right texture and taste.

Then came desserts and I had the crème brûlée, my aunt and mom shared the chocolate mousse, and my brother, his girlfriend and my father all had the chocolate lava cake. Out of the three: the chocolate lava cake was #1. Then chocolate mousse then crème brûlée. The restaurant dimmed the lights and had soft music on. The wait time between meals were a bit long in my opinion but it was a small restaurant and they made stellar food and they weren't in a rush to kick us out of the restaurant at all which was very nice. The service was great, they spoke clearly and were ontop of making sure we had tap water and anything else we needed, again they took their time and never made us feel rushed. Highly recommend this place if you're ever in the Hells Kitchen/Times Square area.

The app activated the swipe button shortly after 5PM -- which Maman and several other stores have recently started allowing as an early pickup signal. I went to the store accordingly. The young male Hispanic employee at the register refused to hand over my bag, insisting the pickup window didn't start until 5:15. All the bags were already packed and ready. There were no other customers in line. I tried to explain how the app works and that early pickup had been allowed here before, but he repeatedly cut me off. At one point I said "if you want to play by the book, so be it" -- meaning it as a neutral acknowledgment. He took offense, raised his voice, and kept repeating "I don't play, you play" in an increasingly hostile tone. I asked if he understood the expression. He just kept repeating "I don't play." When I asked to speak with a manager, he said there wasn't one. When I asked what a customer is supposed to do when there's a problem with an employee, he told me to come back tomorrow and talk to him. This was completely avoidable. The bags were ready. It was a 5-10 minute window, allowed by the app. The confrontation served no purpose. I noticed the review posted the day before mine mentions "poor customer service at the register" -- I suspect we encountered the same person. Maman has a good reputation worth protecting. I'd encourage management to review this interaction and make sure this particular staff is trained properly.

While the French Onion soup was still a stand-out dish, the painfully slow service detracted. There appeared to be a single waitress working. I didn't notice during my first visit if there were multiple servers, but the first time I did hear the waiter advise another table that the kitchen was behind and there would be a wait for food. (This didn't affect me since on my first visit I only ordered soup.) Same thing happened this time, and there was a significant delay between our soup/salad course and entrees. We were told the kitchen was backed up. this is apparently the norm. For appetizers, the French onion soup was a gold star dish. My friend had the goat cheese salad which she said was also very good. The Chicken Cordon Bleu was good, and a hard-to-find dish in NYC. While eating our entrees, the server never checked on how things were or if we needed anything. Once finished, we sat there for a long time waiting for our plates to be cleared, and finally had to "announce" that we were done and request our dessert (as we had ordered the prix fixe menu). For dessert we ordered the Dame Blanche and Profiteroles. I would recommend neither. The ice cream (in both) was poor quality, crystallized and not creamy. A real shame. In all, the meal too 2.5 hours due to the slow service. The soup remains fantastic. I'm downgrading my review to recommend this spot only for soup and salad and not a full, hours-long meal. For that, it's 5 stars, for a full meal a middling 3.
