Charming place near Rittenhouse Square. Interesting menu with diverse choices. The beef tartare and mussels were outstanding. Small wine list but excellent and fairly priced choices. The service was friendly and well paced. Highly recommend.

This was our first time dining at JG, overall the experience was amazing. The staff is extremely attentive, knowledgeable and enjoyable. We choose the tasting menu, one of us tried the "from the earth" menu- it was so creative and you think about vegetarian dishes very differently. The "land and sea" was also amazing. There was some debate at our table how well the cabbage and lobster dish worked together but overall an absolutely amazing experience!

We ate upstairs in the dining room and started with filet tips, eggplant rollatini and steamed clams. We followed with the Bronzino and the 12oz filet. Everything was delicious. Our Server, Jill was absolutely fantastic. We ended our snowy Christmas celebration with a shared espresso martini and ice cream. It was a great experience and can’t wait to go back!
