Great experience every time I come here. Friendly service and quality well-made food! Feel like I’m in a little French cottage. Highly recommend the Caesar salad.

Wonderful dinner at Jolene. Our server, Jo, was a delight. We had the special fried chicken sandwich and rarebit for an appetizer. Delicious! We’ll definitely be back.

Fun brunch spot with outdoor yurts that include your own Alexa speaker for tunes. Good food and drinks, solid all round.

I cannot get enough of this place. Incredible atmosphere, great service and very tasty food. Very much an homage to a traditional Parisian cafe— classic bites, good atmosphere. Fun for a date

Was a really nice experience to hace brunch here, if you a a brunch guy you definitely have to go to this place the people is really nice and the place is beautiful. The food high quality. Kind of expensive. But values for the food.

Limited, uninspired menu… and the execution is all pretty underwhelming too. Go for a decent burger and fries. Skip the rest. Great wine and cocktail offering. The tiny dining room - cramped even for NYC standards - worked when this space was the iconic, orange clad Great Jones Cafe. Now it just feels claustrophobic.

Super solid execution on every dish we ordered. The staff was super knowledgeable and attentive without coming off too strong. Fresh ingredients, great grapefruit palomas and heated outdoor cabana. I will def be back jolene.
We ordered:
-Zucchini Baba ghanoush with crackers. This was so freaking good and loved the crackers they put on the side. This really got the party started.
-the head on shrimp which was like a shrimp Cocktail with more flavor. The shrimp were split in half which made eating them easier, thanks chef !
- the roasted carrots. I loved the roasted chickpea, chili and red onions that were sprinkled on top so generously. All of these things came together so well. This is a solid veggie side for dinner or even app ( we ordered it to start but I wanted more for my Milanese that came later lol)
-beet salad- Perfectly cooked beets with saucy additions. In love. Period.
- the bread. Of course they have great bread and of course we re-ordered twice.
-clam toast- I loved the super green sauce on this dish. It was like herbaceous yet still bright and was the reason I needed more bread
- short rib brisket. This was like a meatloaf on steroids with the right char marks on the outside and right texture inside.
- chicken Milanese- wowwwwww, we ordered everything to share and this was everyone’s fav. Once again, the level of execution here is clear when you order something done wrong so many times like a Milanese but not this time. You gotta order the Milanese. You can’t go there and not do it.
Thanks to our server jack who walked us through ordering so gracefully and took such good care of us. We will go back for jack too ❤️

I used to come here when it was the Jones and was so happy to seeing this place stays strong after it became Jolene.
Staffs were friendly and professional, daily special was fantastic(one of the most delicious tomato salad that I had), all the appetizers and small dishes were good as well as entree(fried chicken).
Drinks were good and entire vibe was fantastic!
