On my previous visit to Jean Georges back in April 2007 I had at best a spectacular evening, the restaurant was full, service was buzzing and cusine what I expected. I had to return simply for two reasons, one, to see if it was still open as word on the street kept telling me they were closed, and two, it was again time for a little treat and to spend some money (not something that most people rae participating in at present, but read on...) Firstly when I made my reservation I was asked if I would prefer the fine dining restaurant or casual dining restaurant. As it happens Jean Georges now has two restaurants, something quite different than being closed! I dined in the fine dining where there is now two tasting menus and a prix fixe to choose from, Nougatine, the 'casual dining restaurant offers an a la carte menu with some similar dishes,same cusine but lower price, smart move, and quite a few people taking advantage on the night I went. Our meal in the fine dining was in a word sublime, admittedly not as busy as the last time I went which may have been the reason the staff were catering to our every whim, even the western manager chipping in with presenting and pronouncing dishes. I noticed that the service standards were straight and to the point not a lot of fussing or stuffy, close to being abrupt but at least well thought. The food was great, good size portions on the prix fixe and a 'bargain' at under rmb600 for 4 courses including an amuse bouche of truffle, almond and potato.
They have changed the old armchair seats for new modern ones which are comfy, however they need to follow suit with the rest of the furnishings. Overall we had a great evening and I for one am happy to see Jean Georges still here.
