Cocktails utilize high quality craft spirits, fortified wines, fresh herbs, and house made tinctures and bitters.

From the OpenTable editors: Joël Robuchon disciple Alain Verzeroli came into his own at this bright and plant-filled Midtown restaurant that reflects the seasonal, produce-forward menu. Dishes like halibut with morels and a white asparagus veloute manage to be both unfussy but still destination-worthy, as proven by its MICHELIN Star.

The chef and entire team were flawless. We came to celebrate my mother’s retirement. I’m a long time NYer (23 years!) and my mom lives in Miami and is an avid world traveler/diner. Our cocktails were very inventive and delicious. I wanted a seasonal pumpkin coconut cocktail and it was a great way to start the night. Our server surprised us with an amuse bûche and extra dessert to celebrate her retirement. Another complement to our wonderful server is that he was insightful enough the ask about if I ate gelatin before surprising us with the amusement bûche after I told him about my dietary restriction. The ‘sole for two’ and tagliatelle with shaved truffles was to die for. The atmosphere itself with all the botanical elements is a pure joy, it reminded me a lot of the contemporary art gardens I’ve visited in Brazil designed by Burle Marx. My mom and I were so enamored with the sole she asked if we could come and try the lunch tasting menu before her short NYC trip ended. I know Le Jardinier has a Michelin star but I feel like people are sleeping on how excellent this restaurant is. We’re also going to Carbone and Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi while she’s in town and honestly Le Jardinier deserves just as much fanfare.

The non-alcoholic pairing with the seasonal tasting menu was unexpectedly amazing. There were a couple of hits and misses, but overall, it was pretty decent. The seasonal dishes were well-balanced, low carb, delicious, and aligned seemingly with the restaurant’s garden theme. It’s evident that the chef put a lot of thought into designing these dishes. Wonderful job!
