Jean Georges NYC | A 5th Anniversary Lunch to Remember 💫

For our fifth wedding anniversary, we left the kids in DC and treated ourselves to a rare date night at this three-Michelin-star French restaurant in New York. Overall experience: 4/5 stars. The dishes, centered around tangy and spicy flavors, were a pleasant surprise, and the service was impeccable – though the dessert course was quite disappointing. 🍽️ Dish-by-Dish Review ➡️ Stunning Starter: The crispy sushi was perfection – the sweetness of the sashimi in perfect harmony with the crispy rice cake base ➡️ Caviar Art: The soft-yolked egg paired with caviar was expertly cooked, releasing waves of briny flavor ➡️ Classic Execution: The potato foam was rich, though relatively basic in the world of French cuisine ➡️ Spicy Challenge: The fish was tender, but the accompanying chili peppers packed a punch – non-spice lovers be warned ➡️ Duck Debate: The duck breast was incredibly tender at medium-rare, though some may still prefer the comfort of a braised duck leg 🍫 Dessert Warning The chocolate-based desserts in the main dessert selection were disappointing, lacking the depth even of Costco chocolate ice cream. Though the complimentary anniversary cake was a sweet gesture, its flavor also fell short. We'd recommend skipping dessert and ending your meal on the high note of the main courses. 💰 The Bill We opted for the 6-course + 3-course menus to try everything Final total after tax: exactly $500 Given the $138 price for 3 courses, it's quite reasonable for a three-Michelin-star experience Despite the dessert letdown, the creative starters, the chef's masterful use of tangy and spicy elements, and the flawless service made our anniversary truly special. Worth a special trip – but know when to stop: skip the dessert! #Michelin3Star #NYCFrenchCuisine #AnniversaryCelebration #FoodReview #DiningTips
