Rooted in classic French technique, Verzeroli has created a menu where seasonality a prominent role: local, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs, and greens are complemented by sustainable proteins. The wine list features over 350 references, and has an international focus drawing heavily on the French regions of Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux. 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.

We have never felt more welcome at Michelin-starred restaurant. From the maitre d, to our server, to the many people providing service support, we were warmly receieved and every need was anticipated. The food was worthy of Michelin recognition - the Green Circle chicken was a standout. Thank you, le Jardinier!

Food was very good but the service was spotty for such a high end restaurant. Few good wines in the $150 to $250 a bottle range. Table near reception desk is horrible as wind blows in every time someone opens the door.

We went for lunch. I had high expectations and left feeling underwhelmed. The wine selection was small and unimpressive. The food tasted good and was well presented, but nothing extravagant. I've been to better places that are not Michelin Star rated. It was nice, but in the end I expected more.
