Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Upper West Side

The food was delicious and we were so full by the end of the experience. Some of the wait staff were a bit dry, but we were there at the end of the night, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I don’t usually enjoy fish, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sashimi course. All of the meat was so tender and melted in your mouth. The dining room was very relaxed and there are very few tables inside. Overall, the cost of the tasting menu is definitely worth it! I would recommend this restaurant experience to small parties with adventurous pallets.

We came early for our reservation and they quickly accomodated us.

Beautiful 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.

The food was very good. Delicious PEI Pink moon oysters and other great selections. Hamachi crudo was great and I love the idea of local fresh ingredients. I’m glad we came- the halibut was a little too hard on the outside for me but the inside was nicely cooked. Brussels and potato purée were simply delicious. The brûlée cheesecake and cappuccino to finish helped power the 20 block walk home! It’s up there with the best of the restaurants I’ve been to. Prices were a little high but that’s what you expect in NYC.

The food and service are perfection! If you want a quiet place to go and talk - this is not the plane. Very loud! But worth the loudness for the food!
