This place is very nice! Super fancy! Make sure you go in the proper entrance, which is the one facing the highway. The place has large windows, light filters in beautifully. They give you slices of beautiful crusty bread. The drinks are fun and creative. We did the tasting menu and they very politely made accommodations for our parties' food allergies and general fussiness. The food was wonderful. Highlight was absolutely the lobster and the tartar. The bathrooms are very large and cute, although unlabeled, tucked in the back of the restaurant. I did for some reason expect the menu to be experimental, which it was not, but the food was still wonderful! No complaints! read more

As a yelper, I think I need to be fair and rate this place based on food and not the staff or the attitudes or experience we had as a group of 6. For food, I give this place 4 stars. For the experience we had, probably a 2 star. We had a group of 6 girls for reservation at 6pm. Half of our group was running about 15-20 mins late so the hostess came up to us and said if our group doesn't show up soon, they would need to take the table back and we were forced to order food instead of just enjoying our drinks. Okay, understandable..given it is a Friday night. We were also told we all had to order everything all at one time, which I didn't really like. I mean, what if I ate something and decided I wanted to add something else after? Then we had a customized cake and we spent some time taking pictures and the hostess told us they can give us a back lounge table to enjoy the cake and keep taking pictures (basically kicking us off the table we had). Everything felt really rushed. I get it is a Friday night, but we also spent a good amount of $ for our group. I mean, our bill was over $600 and for that amount, I feel that we deserved to have our time for dinner. Okay, enough with the experience...onto the food. Calamari was probably my favorite, the best calamari I've ever had. Lightest and fluffiest batter ever, squid was so soft. We had to order 2. The yuzu foam like sauce was amazing with it. The other memorable dish was the rice cracker crusted tuna. That was amazing. These 2 is a must! We ordered the sashimi, kale salad and octopus for starters as well. All 3 were pretty good, but the tuna and calamari was the best as starters. For entrees, we ordered the lobster, duck, black Sea bass, lamb chops. The lobster was really good. The duck I felt was a bit on the raw side. It could have been cooked more. The black sea bass was pretty tender, but the mushroom with this dish was actually tastier than the fish itself. The lamb chops I didn't try so I can't say. Overall the food was really good since Jean Georges rarely disappoints. The only thing is that the portions are way too small for me. Then again, it's French cuisine. I never get full from those. I still feel like I didn't eat at all :( who's down for pizza? read more

Wife and I came to dine the night before Valentine's day, to avoid the crowd and hassle to book. The night was bitterly cold and the fact that the restaurant is located right by the river didn't help. When we stepped within Perry Street, escaping the bone chilling river-wind, the warming nostalgic interior had gentlely welcomed and settled us. The atmosphere was quite, relaxing and comforting, greeting us like an old friend. After checking in our coats, our waitress quickly took us to our table and patiently explained the menu and respectfully gave us time to decide. For the night, we had the crusted tuna sashimi, grilled Spanish octopus, and grilled king oyster mushroom and avocado slices as appetizers. The rice cracker tuna was a delight to us, with fresh and sweet cubes of fish rolled in a bed of crushed crunchy rice crackers. The stark contrast between the velvety fish and the crunchy rice crackers was amazing. The lightly grilled king oyster and avocado slices, paired with drizzles of olive oil and crushed black peppercorn, was very comforting and soothing. My wife was very pleased with this dish. On the other hand, the texture of the grilled Spanish octopus wasn't up to our expectation. It was kind of mushy and powdery as if the meat has lost all of its chew. Our first entre of diver scallops was amazing. And our server was kind enough to divide it in to two plates for us to share. The scallops were fresh, sweet and very flavorful with an equally extraordinary sauce to pair. The only complaint was the size. We only had one scallop each! Our second entre was the lobster thermidor. To be honest, I was debating it with the butter poached version during selection. In the end, the best I could say was that it was flavorful like our scallops but no way as good. Our dessert was one of the restaurant's signature chocolate pudding. The initial simple but graceful appearance was deceiving, an oval bowel covered with half white vanilla sauce and half crystallized violets, making you wonder where was the chocolate. By digging beneath, you would find the silky rich chocolate pudding and we enjoyed it. Overall, Perry Street is a wonderful place to visit. Even thought it's an expensive restaurant and the portions are a bit small, but it's service and taste more than make up the experience. We will come back perhaps during a more warmer weather. read more

Maybe it's because we've been living in a COVID cave and we haven't had real, live restaurant experiences since the Dark Ages or maybe Perry Street just knows the secrets to the kingdom but it's been a damn long time since I've had a flawless meal. A really damn long time. Everything was great. Literally not a single complaint from me and if you know me - and as my husband loves to remind me - my standards are (too) high. Absolute faves: chilled corn soup, fried chicken, chocolate pudding. I can't believe I never got around to trying this restaurant until now. COVID note: the terrace is a legit terrace that's chill and spacious and not a wooden hut built over a bike lane and months old rainwater puddles. It's al fresco dining like in the real world of spaciousness and you can hear the cicadas chirping at night. Bone apple tea, my friends. read more

Ordered delivery from these guys last week -- got the fired chicken with ramps and the rice bowl. The fried chicken was truly outstanding -- even in delivery! The ramps were served like creamed spinach, sort of, and studded with a few sautéed morels. Very luxurious, and not that pricey. The rice bowl left something to be desired, but was perfectly fine, and I appreciated the panko soft boiled egg. Really nice pandemic option. I hadn't been to this place in many years, and was pleasantly surprised to see them turning out pretty delicious food. read more

Came here for restaurant week with my sister and my parents. This place was AWESOME. Part of Chef Jean-George's empire, its bright and "sexy" interior and its classy without being stuffy. The service is incredibly on point, efficient, and pleasant. I had the kombu cured salmon to start, it was delicious and very pretty on the plate. I just wish there was more of it! For my entree I got the duck breast. It was cooked a perfect medium rare, crispy skin, and the grilled zucchini was delicious. The mole sauce had just a tiny hint of spice which went so well. For dessert I got the molten chocolate lava cake. There was an extra touch of special service here. While my family got served the dessert, I had gone to the restroom. They waited until I got back to serve my dessert so the ice cream wouldn't melt and the lava cake was perfectly still warm. Such attention to detail. I will definitely be back read more

I went here with my boyfriend for NYC Restaurant Week. I had the salmon for appetizer. It was so tasty. My boyfriend had the other choice for the appetizer. The vegetables were so fresh. We both had the fish for the entrees, not the pork. The fish is delicious with the combination of the seaweed. For dessert, we both ordered two of the choices. The chocolate moose is okay, not so delicious. I had the pana cotta that comes with a freshening ice cream. read more

We went back last night and boy, was this night special. Another birthday celebration here and we were fortunate to have Nicole as our server and Surhan (sp) server assistant and Alex (manager) all made the experience soo special; our lobster entree was spectacular and her vegetarian pasta was also amazing. Thank you Alex, Nicole and Surhan (sp) for making this night so nice and memorable.........they represent the Jean George brand so well and he is fortunate to have them on his side. read more

I came to Perry Street for a fancy lady dinner with a friend and we were not disappointed! From the moment you walk in the decor sets the mood for the meal you're about to eat, the sun was shining into the large spot and it was elegant and relaxing. We were seated immediately at a table for two and went on to order a few different menu items to share. The rice cracker crusted tuna, the signature dish that pulls people in, was fantastic. We also got the roasted wild mushrooms and burrata to start the meal. For the main course I had the pan seared black sea bass and the fish was cooked to perfection and even better was the basil broth they served it with. My favorite part of the entire meal though was closing it out with the chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream and crystallized violets. The perfect sweet ending note to a great meal. read more

FIVE STARS. Lemme tell you why... Made a reservation at Perry St for the prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner and popped in a little bit early. They were kind enough to take our coats into the closet and let us sit at the bar to order drinks while our table was getting set up. The staff were really friendly and brought us to our seats not too long after the drinks were made. APPETIZERS - - Rice Cracker Crusted Tuna -- sooooo good. Would definitely suggest this appetizer. It was incredibly flavorful and had great texture. - Bay Scallops (on a bed of warm truffle-garlic toast) -- honestly i think the truffle-garlic toast is what took this appetizer to a whole new level. GET THIS APPETIZER if you can! ENTREES - - Roasted turkey -- my boyfriend ordered this dish. Nothing too incredibly great about it. The dark meat was a little dry. - Butter poached lobster -- I had this dish and it was really great! Highly suggest the lobster. It is over a lemongrass kaffir broth (YUM) and had potato garlic ravioli (doubly YUM). All the flavors just blended really well in this dish. DESSERT - - Caramelized apple pie -- just your good ol' typical apple pie dish - Spiced pumpkin pie -- just your good ol' typical pumpkin pie There was a couple who sat at the table beside us and ordered after us. We got our appetizers before them. And for some reason, they got their entrees before us. I noticed that the lady got the same entree I ordered, and the gentleman ordered the same entree my boyfriend ordered. I was a little appalled. The staff obviously made some kind of mistake, and they knew it, too. The manager came to our table after realizing this and apologized for the mix-up. At the end of the meal, he brought us a very delicious chocolate mousse as an apology. Definitely would like to try Perry St for their brunch one day! read more

Went in for restaurant week and was convinced, not against my wishes, to just go for their a la carte options by our waiter. WOW, that was the best move all time, the dishes we ordered were each split in two for my date and I. They were exceptional - I had done restaurant week last year there and left hungry - these dishes were big and filling, we were thrilled! Thanks again Henry and the staff, will be back when the weather is a tad nicer. read more

Had a lovely meal here to celebrate Valentine's Day. Despite the crowd the space was still quiet and the ambiance was quite nice. Dim lighting and views of the water made for a romantic atmosphere. Our server was definitely frazzled by how busy the restaurant was but she had a good attitude and it did not detract from our dining experience. The food was really excellent. They had a special Valentine's Day menu that was certainly a bit overpriced from the normal menu, but that's business. Not all of the options are on the normal menu, but I will describe the meal in full detail anyway as it was delicious from beginning to end. To start I split two appetizers with my girlfriend. They were the menu's classic rice crusted tuna with a sriracha citrus emulsion that was a great bite, good portion, and not too spicy. I also had a fluke sashimi in a citrus vinaigrette which was one of the better sashimi bites I have ever had. It was fleshy, acidic, sweet, and had texture from a light bread crumb on only one side. Phenomenal dish. For my main course I had a duck a l'orange that rivaled any I had had and was a lovely and romantic wintry dish on a Valentine's night. The desserts were also quite nice. I shared the chocolate pudding with whipped cream and crystallized violets and a citrus pavlova. Both were excellent and provided nice contrast from each other. Overall a nice place to spend a romantic evening. All of the food was excellently executed and I'd be happy to go back for the traditional menu options. read more

Another gem coming out of JG, with a combination of three decent cuisines - American, French and Asia, Perry St has been sitting on my bookmark list for a long time before I was able to test it out today, so excited - have been heard consistent praises from my friends and colleagues. So we have shared a couple of appetizers, with the highlight being the grilled octopus. Perry St definitely nailed this dish, so tender and chewy, and the mole made it even more flavorful. As for the main dish, I deeply enjoyed my medium-cooked duck, contrary to many other places, Perry St focused less on using the sauce to bring up the savory, instead, it emphasized the original duck meat taste. Very unique! Both the rhubarb tart and panna cotta were delicately presented - cannot skip them for sure if you are a fan of sweets. If I were to use one word to describe Perry St, that will be "simplicity". Without too many fancy deportations and detailed elaborations, it still impressed me! read more

I suppose there is a reason why Jean-Georges is, well, Jean-Georges. Having been unimpressed by the orientalist circus that is Spice Market and unwilling to drop half a month's rent at the namesake restaurant in the Trump Towers, I had written off JGV as overpriced and over-hyped. However, Perry Street changed my mind. This man knows food. I was treated to a birthday lunch here by a friend who holds this restaurant among his top 5 in NYC. The decor is straight out of Stockholm, yet as others have pointed out, is totally warm and inviting. The sun streams in through the glass windows, and I've been told the sunset is stunning. I also love the hanging bulbs in the lounge. But on to the food. The amuse bouche was a delicious butternut squash soup. I followed this with a subtle but yummy crab salad and the hearty Tuna Burger. Everything was pretty exquisite and well proportioned. Proof that if you have good solid food, you don't need heaps of it. Given my current salary, (ahem, Jeremy...) it's doubtful i'll be back for dinner, but it's well worth the hype. JGV, please accept my apologies. read more

Actually stumbled upon this place several summers ago, not even knowing that 1- it existed and 2 - that it was a Jean George restaurant. How lucky was I that after finding parking directly in front of this place on not only on my first visit, but also on the third and fourth occasions, I casually walked in, found a seat at the bar and then came to the realization that I must be at one of those, '...oh, you must check it out..' kind of restaurants. I love the modern, sleek ambience and the, 'you have to try to look like a model in order to work here', staff. The hostess', waitstaff and bartenders have always been friendly, professional and on point. I had my first Burratta experience here. I didn't know what to make of it at first, because I was still expecting a regular mozzarella type dish, but instead had this cheese which had a firm skin exterior with a runny, creamy interior, served with some sort of salad. Needless to say it was a tasty experience. I've also had the crispy poached egg caviar main course and the ginger rice bowl, numerous times, plus a salmon dish, the calamari, the chilean sea bass and for dessert the berry soup, molten chocolate cake and a sorbet. All of which have been sublime and consistently great. And there's always some sort of amuse bouche presented at every meal. My experiences with the service and food has always been a pleasant one, so needless to say if in the neighborhood I'll definitely go back. read more

*** This review is based on a visit from RW Summer 2013 *** Restaurant weeks are usually a hit or miss. More often than not, they make me even more disappointed in the restaurant/food, but at Perry St, this was not the case. We actually came out more impressed! The entrance FACES the West Side Highway! Like many many others, I walked into the apartment next door, and when I asked the doorman if he knew where the Perry St restaurant was, he actually said that he had no idea. Maybe his first day on the job? I was the first of our party to arrive and the bar snacks were too far out of my reach (I was really tired!). So I pretended to seriously peruse the drinks menu at the bar. When the final fourth person arrived, we were seated (IMO) at the best seats in the house - a crescent-shaped booth in the front! The food was absolutely exquisite. Although the RW menu was limited, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We were teased by a faintly spicy cantaloupe drink for the amuse bouche. The Gazpacho Tomato soup turned out to be my favorite of the night -- I absolutely loved the little spicy kick at the end (again) and was wowed by the incredibly fresh ingredients (cucumber, cantaloupe, pineapple, watermelon, and the tomatoes!). To me, this dish spoke volumes about the subtle elegance of the vision at Perry St. The tomatoes were the clear soloists in this concerto (dish), but everything else eagerly supported them in the background, like orchestral musicians that have very specific roles at calculated moments. I did not have another grand artistic epiphany while enjoying the hake (pronounced hāk), but it was certainly no less superb. The star of this dish was the perfectly cooked, flakey hake, but supporting characters include the creamy mashed potatoes and the dash of yuzu. The Lavender Poundcake dessert with corn ice cream and blueberries unfortunately ended an overall lovely dinner on a weak note, as the dessert appeared to be three separate ingredients just tossed together with little motive. The corn ice cream was interesting, and the poundcake had a good proportion of lavender flavoring (not too soapy), but the blueberries tasted like they came straight from a can. Thankfully, the tiny chocolate and green tea cake petit fours finished the meal sweetly. Knowing that we were coming during Restaurant Week, I came in with no expectations. But from the top-notch service (despite that we were RW diners) and the subtly elegant food, this was definitely one of the best RW experiences I've had to date. Having said that, this makes me all the more eager to return to Perry St to try the rest of their menu. Until next time! read more

My 200th review! I decided to write it on Jean Georges' Perry Street. I've been a big fan of Nougatine and The Mark Restaurant, so why not take try out Perry Street? I've been wanting to try it out since New Years but haven't had a chance to go. Location: Perry Street by the West Side Highway Be prepared to take a long walk from the train station... or just drive! I was pretty lucky to find a parking spot in 2 minutes on a Saturday around 11:30am... but then again, I usually have good luck finding a parking spot. I have a parking angel watching out for me. Food: Overall, food was great but not outstanding for a chef of Jean Georges reputation. With that noted, it's still a GREAT DEAL for brunch! Worth a trip for brunch and then take a nice walk along the West Side Highway to watch the view & water on a beautiful sunny day. The brunch deal includes 2 entrees and 1 dessert for $26. I came here with 3 other friends... so what do we do? We order 8 different dishes and shared. Highlights of the meal included the Amuse Bouche (Broccoli & Cheese), Artic Char Salmon and Sweet Chili Crab Dumplings (with Cilantro and Celeriac). I personally liked the Cod with Miso-Yuzu Glaze (with Baby Bok Choy & Sriracha), but one of the girls at the table mentioned that she didn't think it was buttery enough. For those of you that know me, I don't do butter. I also liked their Spinach & Goat Cheese Omelette. The goat cheese flavor was muted, so it doesn't slap you across the face when you eat it... although I do crave the strong flavor of goat cheese from time to time. Dessert: With the $26 deal, there are 2 choices of dessert, so our group got both to try. 1) Warm Valhora Chocolate Cake & Vanilla Ice Cream 2) Cheesecake, Strawberry and Rhubarb Compote, Candied Almonds, Rhubarb Sorbet I personally prefer the chocolate cake. You can't go wrong with chocolate. The strawberry dessert was good, but I didn't think the cheesecake was cheesecakey enough. Is that even a word? If I didn't know any better, I would have thought it was a cake instead of a cheesecake.

There are few places more epitomic of West Village than Perry Street. Situated at the edge of West Manhattan with a gorgeous waterfront view of the Hudson River, the entrance to this restaurant is a little difficult to find (Note: Don't confuse it with the entryway to the apartment complex next door) but stepping inside, I was greeted with a bright, elegant dining room. The dining area plays off a white and beige theme, consisting of smaller tables and semi-circle booth seats for slightly larger groups, lamps hung on elongated poles, and plenty of windows that allow diners to enjoy a backdrop of sun against the water. A group of us dropped by on a weeknight for a Restaurant Week dinner, a reservation that I had been slightly hesitant to make given the general uncertainty of these weeks. It was, in hindsight, a wise decision. We were treated to a small amuse bouche that balanced the elements of sweet and savory beautifully, and began with our first courses. I had opted for the Grilled Tomato Soup, which was first presented in a deep bowl with just a circular scoop of cantaloupe, a cube of pineapple and watermelon, and sliver of cucumber, before the server poured the remainder of the soup in. It was delightfully light and creamy, and I appreciated the edge of acidity found naturally in tomatoes. The hints of basil provided a fragrant finish to each spoonful, and the freshness and sweetness of the fruits towards the end made for a satisfying finish. This was followed by the Perry St. Fried Chicken, a very refined take on the original pedestrian dish. The plate consisted of two pieces of lightly breaded and fried chicken paired with a Scotch Bonnet Sauce. I was slightly disappointed at the lack of heat in the sauce, but the chicken deserves its own accolade. It was deboned, which made it easier to eat with a fork and knife, the white meat was surprisingly tender and juicy, and the seasoning was just right - not overly heavy, but enough to give the originally bland protein some flavor. On the side were four slices of Goldbar Squash that was served with a bright puree; while I would have utilized a vegetable that would have provided more contrast, the squash was neatly roasted and helped balance the plate out. And, for dessert, I couldn't avoid Jean Georges' famed Molten Chocolate Cake. It's a dish available at many of his restaurants throughout the city, and recollecting the times I had also ordered it at Nougatine and Jojo, I knew I would not be disappointed. There's not much that I need to say; after all, how can you go wrong with a cold scoop of vanilla ice creamed paired with a perfectly cooked molten chocolate cake? The inside seeps out at the break with the spoon, the chocolate interior is rich and smooth, but thankfully not overly sweet, and while it leaves a mess on the plate, it's well worth the effort it takes to eat it. Perry Street is a place that JGV should be proud to have in his empire; it's upscale and elegant without being pretentious, the food is delicious and flavorful, and the elements of French and Asian cuisine are seamlessly intertwined throughout the menu. Without a doubt, Cedric Vongerichten has done his father proud. read more

Really enjoyed our dinner here, although I found the restaurant to be too dark and we had to ask for a different table when the hostess tried to sit us right next to the front door even though we had a reservation and the restaurant was empty when we arrived, except for two other tables. We had hamachi, a butternut soup, fish and desert. Everything tasted great and chef even permitted a side dish from another entree to be served upon our request, so that was very accommodating and we really loved it. The service was great. We are returning soon for another dinner. read more

Perry St was a disco last night for our 7:30pm dinner. A squad car was chillin out front and bright blue and red ghosts had a party on the super chic modern white walls. This induced a headache which the Thyme Lemonade and Winter Pimm's quickly doctored. We sat 5 people in one of those round tables (which could probably fit 7 if you ask nicely) with a comfy white C-shaped booth that the middle person has to bounce and slide his way into. The servers walk behind these, which came as a surprise, since the tall seatback had created the illusion that we were right up against the window/wall. Staff also attempted to refill our water glasses this way, to varying degrees of splashiness/success. Food seemed precisely plated, but taste-wise there was nothing remarkably good. We had chicken and dill soup, an unexpectedly too-spicy roasted hake (sweet potato, leek fondue, rosemary-ginger vinaigrette), and very salty short ribs. The banana cake with salted caramel ice cream was a bit dry. Overall we enjoyed this dinner in good company but will probably pick one of JG's other restaurants for next time. read more

Few of my Instagram photos reach 20 likes so quickly, but the Butter Poached Lobster climbed the double-digits before I could even finish it. It truly was a thing of beauty. It was also freaking delicious and that's what really counts at the end of the day. You know what else was super delicious? The seasonal White Asparagus, which were giant stalks that just fell apart in this delicious light sauce. The seasonal Softshell Crab was also oozing with some kind of delicious flavorful sauce. I thought the Rice Cracker Crusted Tuna was a bit overrated. The Sriracha-citrus emulsion that it came with was pretty good, but I thought the dish was still lacking flavor overall. I tried my a bit of my boyfriend's Pan Seared Black Sea Bass, which I found kind of dry. I also tried a bit of my boyfriend's mom's Perry St. Fried Chicken, which had a thin crispy skin, à la Korean fried chicken. Let's just say I was VERY happy with my Butter Poached Lobster choice. We split a Rhubarb and Lychee Trifle for dessert which was just light and fresh enough to cleanse the palate without making us feel obscenely full. They then came out with a chocolate petit four cake which was, as everyone agreed, divine. The restaurant is spacious and white, making it seem a bit cold and sparse in the light of day. Compared to the only other Jean-Georges restaurant I've been to, ABC Kitchen, it felt much less organic and more chic and modern. Once the sun set however, the lighting made the space feel much more intimate. The service is amazing and everything is considered. For example, they space their giant circular booths in such a way to allow the waiters to place drinks and plates from behind instead of reaching over the table. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for something on the fancier/bougier side. read more

KenScale: 8.5/10 Perry Street is a New American restaurant from the acclaimed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten at a quiet corner of West Village run by his son Cedric. Jean-Georges' flagship restaurant Jean-Georges was one of the first restaurants that I visited when I first came to New York and it was definitely a mind-blowing experience. While my experiences at his other restaurants varied (I loved the casual spot Nougatine next to Jean-Georges and had solid but not amazing meals at ABC Kitchen and ABC Cocina), somehow Perry Street stayed under the radar. I finally decided to pay a visit, and was happy that the restaurant can stand alone as a great neighborhood spot with a lot of inventive and delicious dishes. FULL DISCLOSURE: My dining companion had a couple of friends working at the restaurant so we ended up getting some comped dishes. My grade reflects only the food that I actually paid for, although I will discuss my impressions with the comped dishes as well. Reflecting the style of Jean-Georges, who bases his dishes on French technique yet adopts a variety of influences from around the world, especially Asia, the dishes at Perry Street had the sophisticated elegance that was not however bound by any particular boundaries. For starters, I had rice cracker crusted tuna with sriracha-citrus emulsion and grilled Spanish octopus with hibiscus romesco sauce, potatoes and pickled peppers. Tuna was a light and delightful dish with tender texture, while I loved the combination of the spicy sauce with the octopus. The restaurant also comped New Zealand snapper sashimi with lemon, olive oil and crispy skin (a citrusy dish that was also deliciously light) and roasted asparagus with wild herbs (a very solid vegetable dish as well). I probably was a little more impressed with the starters than the main dishes. Both the grilled loin and crispy leg of rabbit and pan seared black sea bass came away slightly too salty than I would've preferred, although each dish had its own charm, from the really good texture of the meat to the huge (and awesome) grlled maitake mushroom that accompanied the sea bass next to very flavorful basil broth. For dessert, I went with the molten chocolate cake (a signature Jean-Georges dish that was just melting in my mouth without control) and white chocolate pavlova (a winner among the desserts with awesome flavor that was not overly too sweet in combination with yuzu sorbet and basil syrup). The restaurant comped creme fraiche cheesecake with marmalade and blood orange sorbet, another tasty dish that was thoughtful and well-prepared. The restaurant, located on the corner of a quieter and wealthier side of West Village next to the highway, has a feel of a more mature, classy place, with older crowds in blazers rather than hip, younger people. It has a full bar with an extensive wine and cocktail menu. Getting a reservation isn't particularly hard as long as you book the table several days in advance. I walked out of Perry Street definitely more impressed than I would ever be, and highly recommend it for a more refined dinner without breaking the bank. read more

A great place for brunch in the village, and just one block from my house is a sweet deal. Excellent brunch in the cozy eatery, and of course service is spot on.

I would go with the salmon sashimi , coconut broth and Asian pear to start , its not just pretty its pretty amazing . If there are 2 of you then get the steak tartrate with quail egg. For entrée the bacon cheddar burger was pretty solid and very juicy . The Perry fried chicken with corn and scotch bonnet sauce looked like a winner but the chicken was dry and small . Had they nailed this dish I would have given it 5 * all the way . Still I like the scotch sauce which was hot hot hot ! Finished with a chocolate molten cake and vanilla ice cream . Say no more ! The space itself is great . I would definitely recommend if you want somewhere that's classy yet laid back and you can avoid the west village masses . read more

T doesn't care for this place but I wanted to try this place for myself. I came here after work with E and E is the typical UES woman and me...well I am just me. (I am not a hipster, because I just can't be - I am way too clean to be labeled as a hipster.) I didn't really doll myself up but neither did I look dishevel. E being a UES gal wore the typical UES threads. We walked in and this tall African girl greeted us. When I looked at her, the first thing I said to myself was, they hired her to be a hostess? She had really bad weave and wasn't very well put together. She led us to the corner booth in the back near the restrooms. E threw a fit and demanded to be sat at the other corner table closer to the well-lit area. The hostess said she was saving that corner table for a larger party. We didn't think that made sense since she sat us in a corner table and next to us there was another open table. The corner table that E wanted had another party next to it. The hostess said No, and walked away and E just said, "FINE, I will remember this!" 5 minutes later the Asian manager approached me and said she heard there was a problem with the seating. I pointed to E, and E said she didn't like where we were sitting. The manager advised that the corner table has just opened due to cancellation. Okay, personally I think they are so lame with their excuses. I thought to myself am I under dressed? But as I looked around the room, this guy was wearing shorts and another dude was wearing torn jeans with a ugly baseball cap. Then the two black girls that were sitting next to us (after we've been moved!) looked like trannies. Then I saw another tacky white girl wearing a white dress with bright thong underneath. (Trust me, nobody wanted to see that mess!) Okay it must not be the fact I didn't doll myself up more or I was inappropriately dressed. The seating and the bad hostess pretty much ruin our mood. Moving on...what we had for our dinner. We both got the Arctic Char Sashimi - it was yummy! E got the red snapper for her entree but I opted for the chicken. I usually don't get chicken but after having some really bad salmon last week. I have been turned off by cooked fish but not by raw ones. I said I was scared it would be too fishy and it was a bit too fishy for me when I tasted E's red snapper. I was decently surprised when I took a bite of my chicken. It was actually good! Very moist and tasty! But my best part of my experience here was the dessert. Too bad it's only offered during restaurant week. It's their CHERRY JUBILEE - OMG, this dessert made me fall in love! Yes, ME loves it! At first, I questioned myself if I made the right choice but after tasting E's chocolate mousse and tasting my dessert. WOOT WOOT! I did! Cherry Jubilee didn't sound too exciting but me loves BING CHERRIES and that's what they used! Not those fake tasting maraschino cherries! I cannot stop raving about the Cherry Jubilee - if it was a permanent item I would definitely come back here again! read more

Perry St. is owned by Jean-Georges but his son Cedric helms the kitchen. Would I come here again? Yes. Food is a solid 4 on a 5 scale, classic French elements with surprises. Ambience 5 out of 5 on a normal day (but the day I dined It was 3 out of 5). Service 5 out of 5. Food - I'd recommend the following: Fried calamari - Batter is super light, perfectly crisp, no oil residue. Though too much sauce is served with this. Frog hollow peaches with goat cheese - so yummy! Peaches are perfectly ripe, goat cheese and wasabi combo works well Butter poached lobster - delicious. Perfectly cooked, lemon kaffir broth is stunning! Strawberry sundae - the European version, amazing ice cream and Sorbet with mix of fresh berries Chocolate pudding with crystallized violets - Pudding heaven with candy rocks (that's the violets!) Don't get the molten chocolate cake - prob the most meh lava cake I've ever had (not sure why yelpers raved about it) Ambience is quite lovely. It's an all glass enclosed space. Decor is soft yet modern. It's surprisingly NOT noisy! But the day I dined there was a party in the back and 100 helium balloons were brought in. Every now and then a helium balloon would pop, sounding like a gunshot. Not pleasant. But I'm sure it was only that night. Service was impeccable. Our waiter went above and beyond. Our courses came out at exactly the right time. We were never waiting...We'll be back. read more

This is our second visit to Perry St and we were not disappointed! The decor is minimalist modern - super open and airy. The service is great, our server was very engaging and friendly. The wine list is great as is their cocktail list. We had: Rice Cracker Tuna - delicious - this is one of their signature dishes Roasted Beets with yogurt - delicious House Made Burrata - very good but the plating was a bit odd. It doesn't look appetizing when served. Caramelized Tenderloin - delicious, cooked perfectly Lamb - delicious Peach Pavlova - very good but very tiny - I don't advise sharing All in all we were very satisfied with our dinner at Perry St. We would definitely recommend and come back. read more

Such a disappointment for Jean-Georges restaurant( the atmosphere was blah, on a windy day you can barely open the front door and nobody helped ( I even had to go to open a door for my girlfriend who is 100 lbs cause she would NEVER be able to open that door, especially on the windy day that we had in the city). The table was too small, the food was ok but mediocre for such a restaurant standards. We paid for food that we even did not enjoy( I NEVER regret paying any amount of money for good food and ambiance, but at this place my expectations were not supported by reality( the staff was good though. read more

I had been dying to go to Perry Street since it opened a few years ago. I was starting to feel like one of the unprivileged few that had yet to savor its goodness. So, when one of my friends suggested a dinner there, I jumped at the chance. As I navigated my way down Perry, I enjoyed strolling past the adorable brownstones and quaint restaurants. For some reason, I had not realized just how far west this spot really was, but it was located directly on West Street. The restaurant was on the ground floor of a beautiful apartment building. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows provided a tantalizing glance at the Hudson River and the New Jersey skyline. The white decor was sleek and elegant. The bar scene was pretty laid-back, but the large booths were packed with dinner parties. I picked my friend up from the bar, and we were quickly escorted to a cozy table towards the back of the space. Unfortunately, we were unable to take advantage of the dazzling outdoor views, but once the food started to arrive, the interior sights were even better! Our friendly waiter provided us with all of his recommendations and insider knowledge. We started our feast with some fabulous cocktails. My drink was a mixture of brandy and Perry Street's homemade passion-chili soda. The sweet and spicy blend was one of the best concoctions I have ever had the pleasure of getting drunk to. We also enjoyed slices of delicious fresh bread while we awaited our meal. Our Rice Cracker Crusted Tuna appetizer soon arrived. The seared, sushi-grade fish was thickly sliced and crisply crusted with the Asian crackers. A "sriracha-citrus emulsion" was thick and creamy like a spicy mayo. It accentuated the flavor of the tuna, however the dish could have used a bit more pepper or seasoning within the crust. My Sauteed Red Snapper entree was fantastic. The fish was light and tender, but substantial. It was perfectly cooked. Asparagus and shiitakes mushrooms were terrific complimentary garnishes. When the mushrooms combined with the tangy sesame vinaigrette, it made for an aromatic, flavorful broth. Between our delicious cocktails and orgasmic food, we were too full not to pass on dessert. Luckily for us, our check was accompanied by 2 Petit Fours, which enabled us to sample something from the pastry chef. The sweet squares of pistachio cake were infused with almond paste. These rich and nutty morsels were insanely delicious, and, just as I had hoped, my compliments to the waiter convinced him to deliver a second plateful on the house. Perry Street was one of my best Jean Georges experiences, and I look forward to returning. The petit fours and brandy cocktail would be reason enough to trek out to West Street! read more

Coming here for Restaurant Week lunch was the best idea I made this week. I would recommend making a reservation, as the restaurant does fill up. The space is incredibly modern and clean with a very minimalistic theme. You can also get a nice view of the Hudson River if you sit in the front of the restaurant. The service is great: nice, helpful, and professional. There's also free working WiFi! [FOOD] Salmon Sashimi: This was an amazing starter. It was incredibly light and clean and simple. The salmon itself was fresh and carried not a hint of fishiness. The grapefruit sorbet was almost ethereal but had a good taste. The jalapeño added a light kick. Together, all the ingredients worked perfectly. Slow Cooked Hake: Just from cutting the fish in half, parts of it flaked off. It's a fish very similar to cod. It was cooked absolutely perfectly, and while the fish has a one-dimensional taste, the other ingredients give flavorful depth to the dish. The mushrooms have the umami flavor, the yuzu gives a tangyness, and there's a small kick from peppers. Together, the dish works together amazingly with very vibrant flavors. Parmesan Crusted Pork Loin: Absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this dish. The pork is cooked perfectly, and the meat is tender and juicy and incredibly flavorful. The butter sauce pairs well, and the broccoli rabe has an earthy taste. I can't stress enough how amazing the meat was. Warm Molten Chocolate Cake: After the high of eating the pork, this cake will take you to heaven. Though it's so simple with just vanilla ice cream, the gooey filling is orgasmic and nothing less. Just perfect. Almond Cake: This dessert was okay. The cake is nice, and the sorbet is fresh. [OVERALL] This was only $32 after tip and tax. For a place this nice with such amazing food, there's no reason not to mini-splurge. The restaurant stresses simple ingredients that create great flavor. You can also take a nice walk along the river after you come down from the high of eating such delicious food. I would come back without hesitation. read more

I went there for a quick lunch during my hour long break and was expecting good things. The lunch special MORE than delivered. For $24 me and my coworker ate what at other joints would have been a $50 - $80 meal. You get the choice of 2 plates and one dessert for under $30, moreover, some good WINE IS SOLD BY THE GLASS FOR $5! In Manhattan, land of $14 well-martinis, I thought that was amazing. First - the amuse bouche was a slighly over-salted (but I can't complain about that - love my salt) strawberry soup with cucumber foam. For my starter course I had a wonderful (not exquisite, but very good) cream of tomato soup. A crostini covered with finely grated Parmesian and basil chiffonade was was balanced above the bowl. The soup was poured from a separate serving dish = fancy. My coworker had some amazing Arctic Char sashimi with a lemon-oil vinegarette and some sort of fried curles on top. Both were good - hers was better. For the main course I indulged in a ginger-rice bowl that featured a poached egg that had then been dredged in tempura flakes and lightly fried. It tasted amazing and provided a a perfect sauce-capsule for the rice, ginger dressing, scallions and red pepper in the bowl. My coworker Barbara (shout out!) had really good sea bass that had been fried in chili oil. It had a great aroma and hit the back of the palette very nicely. I washed this down with a delicious ginger soda. For dessert I had crepes with a side of apricot icecream and apricot compote. Mmmmm...the icecream was resting on a delicious cookie-crumble. Barbara feasted on a molten chocolate cake with pistachio icecream (that tasted like Starburst! In a good way). Highly recommended. Not crowded for lunch. Delicious and affordable way to experience Msr. Jean-Gorge. read more

My parents and I came here for my birthday dinner and it was quite good. The appetizers that we ordered were okay--nothing too special about them (we got the calamari, the artichoke and the tuna). However, the main courses were great. I got the lobster and my parents got the diver sole and the lamb chops which they both loved. The ambiance was very nice with dim lighting and candlelight, and the wait staff was attentive. I would definitely come here for a special occasion or for a really nice date night. read more

Came in the winter of 2022. Honestly one of the worst upscale NYC dining experiences I've had. Food was bland and unmemorable, minus the pricy side of miniature brussel sprouts that was minuscule and steamed to a mush with ZERO seasoning (akin to eating baby food). So disappointed, I had very high hopes. read more

Food and service are exquisite here. Food: I ordered the calamari and salmon. The calamari was perfectly fried, light and fluffy, not greasy. The California Yuzu dipping sauce was a fun surprise. I've never had it before and really enjoyed the flavorful, yet mild whipped cream-like sauce. The salmon was also cooked perfectly, lightly seasoned and paired well with the grilled brussels sprouts. Service: I dined in a party of eight. It was not a pleasant dining experience, company-wise. Three of us were present at the reservation time. The remaining five people showed an hour late. In addition to some inappropriate dining behaviors that I will not get into, these five made several service requests regarding their entree orders and billing. I was embarrassed and frustrated; however, the entire Perry St. staff was patient, kind, friendly, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire fiasco. I was really impressed. Thank you. I'll never dine with this group of people again but I would come back to Perry St. and will recommend it to others. read more

Had the chance to stop by for lunch yesterday. I have to say that I'm really impressed by this place. The $28, 3 course prix fixe is still going strong here and represents one of the best deals on some of the best food in the city. I had the burrata (mozzarella stuffed with cream - holy crap), which came with fresh citrus, grilled sourdough bread and a quince confit and the yellowfin tuna burger which came with something called "bonito" mayonnaise, shiso, yuzu pickles, and homemade potato chips. For dessert I got the molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The burrata was legendary; it looks like a piece of mozzarella, but when you cut into it, you get this gorgeous reveal of cream oozing out. It had to be a bazillion calories, but it was so freaking good, especially when paired with the citrus. The tuna burger was lightly seared, well seasoned and delicious. The yuzu pickles were a nice touch. It was really picturesque too. You know how good burgers appear in fast food ads? It was that kind of look, something that could have been straight out of a food photo shoot. Finally, the dessert was the classic molten cake I've seen at nearly every Jean Georges place. Familiar perfection. It's a bit out of the way, but absolutely worth it to stop by Perry St. Enjoy. read more

Love! Don't expect too much food but they are all amazing! The setting and atmosphere is wonderful! It's like enjoying a quite meal (lunch) at home. So comfortable! I had the tuna crunchy appetizer and it was amazing! I like how they use green onion in most of their dishes. And then the ginger rice bowl-- absolutely great! My mom had the tasting menu ($28- three course-- great value) the salad, the salmon, and the strawberry shortcake. It's not busy at all during lunch and I really hope more ppl would know this great place! read more

The Short: cool space with young but experienced enough servers serving unbelievably creative cocktails and contemporary cuisine with clean and unusual flavorful profiles we have come to expect from Jean Georges. The Long version: Perry St landed on my must try list years ago when it first opened. But at that time it was hard to get a reservation at prime time and my sister in-law came away with her review as overrated and unimpressed. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for a NYC Jean Georges establishment in trendy TriBeCa. So I waited years to come but decided to dine here last week with my hubby and our closest friends, another couple with discerning palates and high expectations of fine NYC dining. We sipped on the the white heat tequila drink-spicy jalapeño infused tequila with lime and grapefruit-I could not have concocted a more perfectly balanced drink to my liking and the wildwood-fresh strawberries muddled in bourbon-yum. The vodka thyme lemonade also seemed to be a hit and their wine by the glass list was extensive and made it possible for us to order by the glass to complement our food. We snacked on snapper sashimi which was superb in texture and bold in flavor, the kale salad which was crunchy with kale chips nestled between raw kale and shredded parmigiana reggiano lightly dressed, rice cracker crusted tuna and grilled Spanish octopus. This could be the tastiest most supple octopus I have ever had-tender with smoky notes which pop in your mouth. We enjoyed the black bass dish with the giant mushroom-one of the largest I have ever seen or eaten, the Maine Shellfish a la plancha in a tasty green curry broth-this was divine in terms of the sauce-not thick or salty-the scallops were soft and cooked to perfection but a few of the mussels were sadly served closed unable to be consumed! This dish was the only one that seem to lack the wow factor. While the curry was tasty, it didn't scream to be sopped up with the bread on the side. The lamb chops were also grilled to perfection. We were stuffed but our friends insisted on trying the steamed chocolate pudding with its crunchy crystallized violets and brownie bottom and the sweet roasted corn soufflé with a caramelized popcorn and chipotle gelato. This last one was for me the standout dessert and surprise of the evening. What I particularly love about Perry St was the sophistication of the food all in a pretty cool modern space. The vibe is casual but trendy enough to garner its clientele who clearly understand that you don't need a stuffy atmosphere to enjoy flavorful complex and exquisitely prepared food. Well done Perry St team. Will be back now that the B & T crowd has moved on to other of the moment dining establishments. read more

Perry St reminded me of why I love New York...there are so many surprises hidden around the city, even along the West Side Highway. This restaurant has such a modern allure to it, it almost feels as if it belongs at a luxury beach resort rather than the edge of Manhattan. We dined like kings and queens, with never-ending glasses of whiskey and prosecco to complement our meal. Highlights included: APPETIZERS: House Made Burrata Rice Cracker Crusted Tuna - my favorite appetizer...just so unique! Crispy Calamari Charred Foie Gras and Duck Raviolo ENTREES: Pan Seared Black Sea Bass Perry St Fried Chicken - truly worthy of the fame DESSERTS: Brown Butter Carrot Cake - amazing! The service was outstanding, and all the food was just delicious. We truly lucked out to sit at the largest circular booth in the restaurant, giving us a view of all the other diners, but also privacy to truly enjoy our conversation. The only hiccup happened halfway through the meal when the restaurant ran out of sparkling water. I'd love to go back for a special occasion this summer to watch the sunset over the Hudson River. read more

I keep my expectations low for Restaurant Week, so the quality of my dinner at Perry St was a very pleasant surprise. Its Restaurant Week menu is by far the best I've ever seen. Definitely a great deal. Appetizers: + Started with a baked potato soup amuse bouche - warm with a surprising spicy aftertaste! + Salmon sashimi appetizer was good, the flavors complemented each other and the wasabi gave it a nice kick. + The rice-cracker crusted tuna with yuzu-sriracha chili emulsion, which we ordered as an extra appetizer, was amazing! Very unique and delicious. Entrees: + The hake with mushrooms with potatoes was good, but lacked the explosion of flavors of the previous dishes. The mushrooms, however, were very tasty. + The fried chicken with rice & collard greens was perfectly cooked; the chicken was perfectly tender and the skin was perfectly crispy without being greasy. I was amazed - how do you pull that off? The collard greens were interesting, they tasted almost flowery. Dessert: + Molten chocolate cake with ice cream was incredible. Best lava cake I've ever had. + Profiteroles were very good. + Two chocolate/green tea cake squares came with the check - they were heavy but delicious. The portions were pretty small (except for the fried chicken), but the desserts were huge, and by the end I was so stuffed I could barely walk. Service was great, very friendly, attentive, and timely. Decor and seating - beautiful. The only things I have to complain about are that the lighting was very dark (although I imagine it would be very bright during the day), and we were seated near the door, so a gust of cold air would hit us every time someone came in. With reasonable prices for such high-quality, complex dishes, Perry St is somewhere I would love to return to over and over again. read more

Since I Love Nougatine, I thought why not try Perry Street. I read that they offered a great lunch special: 2 plates & dessert for $24, each additional plate for $12 we ordered: cream of tomato soup - delicious, had a nice little kick to it peekytoe crab salad - tasty though I felt there was too much going on, not sure I would order it again. Pan roasted chicken sandwich, speck, arugala & fontina - good but it also had quite a bit of tapenade which I hated, I had to scrape it all off My friend got the grilled shrimp which I didn't get to try bc but he said it was very good. for dessert i got the white chocolate & meringue, yuzu sorbet, mint - eh, not my style, didnt care for it the staff was very nice and the room had great views of the Hudson river. Not sure if it was worth the trek but I'm glad I tried it. *sigh* Back to Nougatine read more
