When you think of Chinese New Year, you obviously think of French cuisine. Well, my mom wanted to come here so mother dearest gets what she wants on this one day out of the year. We did the prix fixe menu because 3 courses plus dessert was more than enough. Surprisingly, there are a lot of Asian accents to the foods. Sea urchin is a popular Chinese seafood dish on special occasions and with a hint of jalapeno, that was amazing as the first dish. Of course, I wish the serving was larger but this stuff is rare! For the 2nd dish, I ordered the arctic char. The arctic char had an interesting, overpowering texture with the crisps while the black truffle crumbs were too light.The final dish was an almond-crusted duck. That was special and also an interesting texture. It was definitely my favorite. I was already full halfway through the duck. My mom got the scallops, hake, and lobster. She made a fuss about the scallops, to which the waiters were highly apologetic and brought her a soup that she initially eyed. One of the managers even came out to personally apologize, but it really wasn't a big deal. We also ordered a basic gewurtz, nothing too fancy but the waiters were running back and forth to refill. When it came time for dessert, we wanted the caramel assortment. To our surprise, probably because my mom made a fuss, they also brought out a chocolate assortment and a winter assortment, as well as marshmallows, a tray of chocolates, and a stand with at least 3 different types of sorbets. The dessert was certainly impressive and provided a unique tasting of the chef's many designs. We literally had a table filled with desserts. Honestly, I was a little doubtful of the service because of reviews from friends and online about service to Asians, but service was stellar and food was excellent. While we were eating dessert, they started to get busier and waiters gave us the bill before I could order a whisky. The waiters, although very professional and attentive, can lighten up a bit on the seriousness.

Impeccable, innovative French-American cuisine in a space characterized by understated elegance. Service is equally amazing, & the prix fixe lunch menu is a steal - no wonder this place fills up its reservations so far in advance. Even if you are not a seafood fan, consider trying the yellowfin tuna & lemon shrimp dishes. They will change your mind about seafood - they are the best seafood dishes I've ever had. If you're visiting the area, do yourself a favor and book a table for lunch a full month in advance. Thank me later.

WOW! This place is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Located in the Trump International Towers, the restaurant has a beautiful bar and interior. Simple, very classy. The food at Jean Georges is excellent, exquisite, spectacular. The standouts for me were the sesame crusted foie gras and the black sea bass. Amazing. The service was spot-on, as expected. We got a nice booth seat for two in a part of the restaurant that kind of caves in a little. If you like fine dining, this place is a must. You won't regret it! We did the $118 pre fix dinner menu and were STUFFED by the end of the meal. TIP: The dessert course (which comes with the pre fixe) is included and it is large. Save room!

A wonderful experience. Went for lunch and had the 2-course prix fixe with an added course. Wonderful food and service. Elegant decor. Restaurant is in a great location and setting. The meal was a great value. One of my favorite restaurants in NYC. Great for special occasions.

Overall the dinner was pleasant. I got two glasses of wine and a whiskey sour with the ribeye. The ribeye was pretty good but did not constitute the $139 price tag. Will come back to drink.
