Fantastic food, beautiful dining area. The staff were incredibly courteous and accommodating. I came with a party but had to leave early to catch a flight, the staff was able to get me my entire meal, and gave me a cake for the plane in under an hour. An incredible experience and will surely be back.

Fantastic. Worth every penny. If anything I would eat a little less of early courses to leave plenty of room towards the end. Wines and service top notch.

I had the privilege of coming to JG for my birthday with my siblings so we got the 10 course tasting menu.

The ingredients were fresh and I was glad that I got to try the famous egg toast and tuna noodles which were delicious.

The rest of the Asian fusion tasting dishes were not great. I love strong flavors like Laksa but I found that some dishes were overly salty. Particularly, the lobster dish tasted like sea water...( I think they forgot coconut milk or something?)

The staff however were very understanding and gave us extra dessert because of the lobster dish. People were friendly and I felt very special that I got a really delicious chocolate cake for my birthday.

So this was my first time trying a restaurant of this nature. A fixed 10 course menu where there was barely any food on the plate. Lol. I was hopeful going into this reservation because the menu sounded pretty good and it's a three Michelin star restaurant. Has to be good right? Nah not at all. I was literally ranking each dish I received out of ten and the best dish was the first. It was like a crispy rice sashimi and a sip of soup. Similar to what another reviewer said about his experience, it's been 3 days since I've dined there and i can hardly remember anything else. I hated my cocktail, some raspberry thing. Also they were very slow to bring out the next course each time. We were there for about 3 and a half hours and I was literally done and ready to leave an hour in. Just not an experience that I enjoyed. Below are my scores for each course.

1. 8/10 sushi with crispy rice and soup
2. 6/10 bread and caviar
3. 4/10 white fish and peas
4. 4.5/10 tuna ribbons and avacado
5. 4/10 tomato and berry salad
6. 5.5/10 king crab dumpling
7. 7/10 sea bass
8. 5/10 Thai lobster and corn
9. 4/10 foie gra
10. 4.5/10 duck
11. 3/10 dessert

I will say that they did notice that my friend did not like his foie gra and offered to make something else in return. We declined but they did give us a second dessert to make up for it. Which was probably one of the better things I had and it wasn't even apart of the tasting menu. It was a lava cake. Overall I can't say I'd return. Just wasn't my thing. Super expensive for mid food. I went in hopeful and came out disappointed.

One of the best meals of my life! We came here to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and the whole experience from each curated course to the sommelier recommending wines to us was perfection.

I also loved the touch where my wife left one of her courses untouched coz she didn’t like it and they whipped us a special meal and showered us with dessert to compensate. Deserving of the 2 Michelin stars!

An absolutely amazing dinner experience! Each dish was beautifully presented with a wonderful story. Food was definitely worth the price, and the service is exceptional. Although the entire dining room was filled, I felt that the tables were spaced out well to enjoy some privacy. I have never had a more relaxed and enjoyable dinner. Not sure why JG lost a Michelin star as it is much more deserving of 3 stars than Per Se down the street.

Brunch at Nougatine also offers a small tasting menu featuring some of JG's famous dishes such as the Egg Toast. However, there is a drastic difference in service during the daytime.

What an incredible meal. Every course was surprising and different. Our server (mike?) was incredible, accommodating, and really made us feel like he was taking us on a journey with the feel. I had the vegan tasting and it was great but I want to point out especially that the vegan desert was NOT sorbet! I was so impressed at that! We will definitely be back

Came here on my bday. They offer 3 tasting menus; 6 or 10 course and a vegetarian option. Great food, well balanced on taste and texture. All cocktails were well made. Ed was our server, service was attentive and fun yet professional. One of the Michelin starred restaurants we would visit again.

Came here in March 2022 when they got rid of lunch service and only focused on the diner service. This was to celebrate my buddy's entrance into fatherhood and a night out. I got the 10 course omnivore prix fixe menu. The service was great! The waitress serving us knew the menu very well and was knowledgeable in wine selection and pairing. We did not need to request the sommelier because the wine pairing recommendations were well received. The wine pairing that stood out was the king crab risotto and a chardonnay that had notes of oats. The servers were also very attentive, but not intrusive. With regards to the menu and the food quality, if I had to describe a theme, it would be different textures, temperature and intense flavors clashing together within the mouth, melding into a melodic harmony to accentuate each ingredient. This delicate combination is really easy to mess up, but Jean-Georges pulled it off perfectly. The quality of the food is definitely one of the best there is.

Visited with my bf and our experience was exceptional for both food and service. Worth a visit or two.

The food was great and service was amazing but there was an individual coughing on the table next to ours the whole time. They also state there is a dress code but it is not really enforced as I saw a few individual who were dressed down with sneakers and black jeans and no jacket. I would bring a change of clothes just to be safe.

Caviar Milk Tea should be renamed to include "savory" or an indication it is not sweet.

Wine pairing would be preferred.

Japanese Ceviche was phenomenal.

Benjamin the Sommelier was exceptional beyond his requirements.

The food was inventive and absolutely incredible. We did the 10-course omnivore tasting and 6-course vegetarian tasting. Wish the bread was warm, but loved the little treats and the take-home almond cake at the end. Dinner was a very long and leisurely experience. Great for an anniversary, birthday or special occasion!

Geoffrey Russell 5 stars rating.

Great food! Simple flavors, and you can taste each flavor individually while also tasting a new flavor that is the combination of the individual flavors. Classic french.

Overall great experience and solidly two Michelin stars all around.

The food is at three Michelin stars, but the service had hiccups. For example, we arrived 25 minutes early and were told to stand out in the cold until 4:45pm came (covid means no waiting area, maybe). But no apology. They did, however, come outside as soon as the time came and brought us in. Second, they never brought the check to the table, so after 15 min, we got up to leave (thought they just charge the card on file, service included). Then as I was walking out, they gave me the check (ran it over to me), so I had to awkwardly come back to table and sign it. Just mentioning these because it is room for improvement.

Phill Jeffers 2 stars rating.

Still amazed this restaurant was once worthy of three Michelin Stars when we previously visited in 2016. On our last visit my wife agreed her tasting menu was worth no more than two stars. My choice of the alternative ten course was certainly barely a one star.

Very disappointed of the fall from grace which most certainly began when they felt that making an effort was no longer required.

Won’t be visiting again unless we hear positive reviews.

The difference of opinion of the people providing ratings between countries clearly needs review.

Absolutely marvelous meals here, twice. One of the six best restaurants in the United States. Fortunately, we've never seen hide nor hair of donald trump here, which would've taken away from the quality of our dining experience. Staff are just plain incredible, coming as close as any reasonable person would expect, to perfection. Meals with truffles have been especially impressive. Spectacular.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Excellence of food, vibes, and service. Of course it’s a michelin star restaurant so it must be good but I guarantee it’s be beyond what you can expect! I highly recommend the desserts- they are really on point! One thing is the dishes are very savory so if you prefer more natural and unseasoned food, maybe you might not really like it. However, overall great place for special occasions, like birthdays, Christmas, etc! Diverse selection of food so go for it!

Overall great experience! Too much food for me, we did the 6 and 10 course respectively. The appetizers were better in the 6 but the mains and dessert were better in the 10. Wish we had choices on menu items because you were stuck with whatever they wanted to serve.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the experience for our lunch meal was just perfect. I wouldn't want to go through a 12+ course meal during lunch, so they have a smaller prix fixe menu that is perfect for the mid day meal.

The service itself was spectacular, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely nice.

The dress code is less strict for lunch reservations, so gentlemen can feel comfortable coming in with a nice dress shirt and not feel underdressed. The big perk here is that you don't want to be wearing a suit after your lunch meal, so it works out perfectly.

Despite that, JG still requires jackets for their dinner reservations, which in my opinion is unnecessary. I've been to over 100 michelin restaurants worldwide, and this was a first.

The food was also spectacular, every dish was perfect, and the final dessert was out of this world. Out of all of the restaurants we visited during our trip to NYC, JG will stand tall as one of the best. Looking forward to our next visit in the future :)
