Last visited in July, a total of twenty-four times prior including a yearly tradition, it was alongside four others on Friday night that Jean Georges Steakhouse once again found the kitchen executing at a high level.
Led by Chef Sean Griffin since 2015, including a renovation that upgraded décor and delivery of pristine Proteins and Produce, guests entering Jean Georges Steakhouse are greeted first at a podium before being led to spot-lit tables, the mood upscale but never stuffy while prices track similar to other like-Restaurants that feature far less creative cuisine.
Decorated in gold, and buzzing with activity, it was at a long table that carte blanche was deferred to the kitchen, Beverages quickly followed by buttery Loaves of Brioche and familiar appetizers such as truffled Wagyu Carpaccio atop Pate a Choux plus seasonal Shellfish and signature Egg Toast.
Always inventive, Foie Gras with Figs and Almonds flawless, Salads and Short Rib served as a segue to grilled Meats, Escarole with Apples lightening the load before Rib Cap and Ribeye of F1 Wagyu cooked Medium Rare.
Adding a few seasonal sides, spicy Sweet Potatoes juxtaposing truffled Pasta and Jumbo Prawns, it was a delight to see Wagyu Brisket back for the first time since covid-19 and no guest should leave Jean Georges without a taste of the city’s best Fried Chicken.
Refreshing the palate between bites of lean Piedmontese Filet Mignon with Sprouts and Lobster Mashed Potatoes Dessert saw Creme Brulee plus old favorites down the line, Chef Vongerichten’s Chocolate Cake served with tableside theatrics and followed by Cheesecake but no Apple Pie.
