## About Jean-Georges

Jean-Georges Vongerichten opened this room in 1997 inside the Trump International Hotel, and it has spent every year since proving that restraint is harder than excess. The kitchen builds dishes around two or three ideas at most — a citrus, a spice, a fat — and lets each one carry, which is why a plate as simple as sea bass in a nage tastes like it took a decade to get right, because it did. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Columbus Circle and the northern edge of Central Park, giving the dining room a wash of daylight that most Manhattan tasting-menu spots spend six figures trying to fake. Service moves with the unhurried precision of a team that has plated the tasting menu ten thousand times and still tastes the sauce before it goes out.

## Menu highlights

- **Egg Caviar** $68 *Slow-scrambled egg served in its shell, crème fraîche, and a generous knot of osetra*
- **Sea Bass in Nage** $78 *Poached in a citrus-and-herb broth finished tableside*
- **Seven-Course Tasting Menu** $298 *Changes with the season; the standing rib of squab has held its place for three menus running*

1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The egg caviar alone justifies the cab fare from Brooklyn. Watching them crack the shell tableside is half the dish. — Priya Sathe · 14 March 2026 Response from Jean-Georges Thank you, Priya — that egg has been on the menu since 1997 for exactly this reaction.
2. ★★★★☆ 4.0 Editorial sample Extraordinary technique on the sea bass, though the pre-theater seating felt rushed compared to a normal dinner service. — Marcus Feldman · 22 January 2026

### How far in advance should I book a table at Jean-Georges?

Reserve three to four weeks out for a standard dinner, and closer to two months for a Friday or Saturday table with park-facing windows.

### Is there a tasting menu, and can it accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes, the seven-course tasting menu is the kitchen's showcase, and the team will build a parallel vegetarian or allergy-adjusted version if you flag it when booking.
