Profile

Be warned—anniversaries and marriage proposals are best celebrated somewhere else. Nothing and no one steals center stage at Jean Georges from the astonishing creations of its extraordinary chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten. If you're okay with such supplication, prepare to be open-mouthed whenever you're not chewing. Surveying your table is like walking into Van Cleef & Arpels. Nothing you encounter will fail to awe, from the simplest dish of sea scallops with caper-raisin emulsion to the unexpected combo of sweetbreads en cocotte with ginger and licorice. Jean-Georges's talent is destined to outdazzle any other agenda. — Hal Rubenstein

My husband and I always LOVE dinners at Jean-Georges; it has been a special place for us for many years. We had a 8:45 pm reservation; and we were asked to wait for 15 minutes to be seated. (Maybe we were spoiled at Jean-Georges before, but we never had to wait for our seats ever out of past 5 meals there). After finally seating down , no one came to greet us with menus or anything at all for at least 5 minutes. Finally, this gentleman (who later on turned out to be our waiter) swing by with wine menu (but no food menu) and mubbled that our waiter will be with us shortly. And we were left alone for another 10 minutes before he came back to take our drink order, and my husband has to ask for food menu. The room was loud, and when anyone came by to explain anything, they did not speak louder. My water glasses were empty for at least 15 minutes, and we had to ask for refill; the same thing with my coffee.
