★ The Legend
Foie Gras & Duck Pâté Terrine
This dish is a standout, featuring a thin slice of foie gras veined with leek 'ash' and cocoa, served alongside gingerbread-spiced madeleines and tart blood-orange marmalade. It's a sophisticated take on a classic, offering a balance of richness and bright acidity that elevates it beyond typical foie gras preparations.
◆ Fan Favorite
Tuna Tartare
A consistently praised appetizer, this tuna tartare is diced and presented with sunflower seed hummus, brightened with lime and chili, and served with crisp lotus chips for texture. It's a fresh and flavorful starter that regulars often reorder.
● Chef's Pick
Steamed Black Bass
Chef Jonathan Benno, who helms the kitchen, is known for his refined approach to seafood, and this dish showcases his expertise. It's often prepared with seasonal accompaniments like winter mushrooms or in an acidic broth, highlighting the delicate flavor and perfect texture of the fish.
◇ Hidden Gem
Egg Toast with Caviar and Herbs
Most first-timers might overlook this on the bar menu, but it's a luxurious and surprisingly approachable bite. It's a classic Jean-Georges recipe, featuring Petrossian caviar and herbs between thinly sliced, gooey toasts, making for an indulgent and memorable snack.
Insider Tip

Don't just stick to the main dining room. While the mezzanine is stunning, the captivating cocktail lounge and bar downstairs, with its 45-foot ceilings and a massive Larry Poons painting, offers a more relaxed yet equally swanky experience. You can order from a dedicated bar menu with excellent small plates, making it perfect for a less formal but still impressive meal or pre-dinner drinks.
