- EErwinVIPNew York City •4 reviews4.0Dined todayRestaurant is nice. Pork chop was think and precut, not much flavor. Sauce had little flavor. Mushrooms and risotto were very good. Shrimp appetizer delicious. Offered a taste of a bourbon sold there, too much of an alcohol bite at the end, not my taste. Old Fashioned was good. Just cocktails, no beer or wine, I prefer the latter with a meal.More infoThe Restaurant at Great Jones Distilling CoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• NoHo•4.8

- SSharonVIPNew York City •33 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoBeautiful restaurant with outstanding service. The food is spotty. The fried chicken was dried and overcooked - had to send it back. The sweet potato bread was bland and in desperate need of the delicious accompanying herb butter. The burger was very good but hardly "the best in the city" as our server informed us. The mushroom pizza with it's bountiful array of earthy, "freshly foraged" mushrooms atop a crispy wheat crust was excellent. The fact that you pay a king's ransom for the pleasure of dining at this Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant made it somewhat disappointing. I'm happy I went but wouldn't go back.More infoABC KitchenPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Gramercy Park•4.4

- HHugoNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined on 13 Dec 2024We always have a great time at Bar Contra. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Small plates from wild air are delicious and the cocktails are creative and there is something for every one. Theo is the best! We always try to sit at the bar when him and his colleague are there, usually on Fridays. Will be coming back repeatedlyMore infoBar ContraPrice: Moderate• American• Lower East Side•4.6
