Jean Georges, I have been waiting to try you and finally got my chance last night. We had a 7 pm reservation for Saturday evening and were running a little bit late. My husband called to let them know and they were very accomodating.
We arrived and were seated right away. Our first waiter came out with the menus and the wine/cocktail list. I started out with a twist on a lemon drop and husband started out with a glass of scotch.
They brought out a selection of bread but I only really tried the pretzel bread because it my absolute favorite. It was delicious and nice and soft.
We decided to go with two appetizers, the tuna tartare and the crab crostini. The crab crostini was to die for. Two crostinis loaded with dungeness crab mixture with a light dill flavor. The tuna tartare was a classic take and was very good.
For the main entree we ordered the tomahawk chop which was a waygu/kobe beef hybrid. We also ordered the fritters, the mashed potatoes and the bone marrow and toast.
The fritters were so good. They were perfectly fried, and nice and creamy in the middle with a spicy goodness from the jalapeano and cheese combo.
The bone marrow was really good! I had always wanted to try it and I liked it although on one of them, I couldnt get the marrow out, so that was a little disappointing.
The mashed potatoes were nice and creamy with a good flavor. But had a little bit of a sticky texture.
Now to the main reason JG's is getting four-stars instead of five. The tomahawk chop. This steak was 26 oz for $95 bucks. Hubby and I decided to share it.
As soon as it came out I was wishing we had choosen something else. First of all, a lot of the 26 oz came from the huge bone. Ok, I can get over that. The waitress described the cut as very flavorful because it is marbled with fat. I didn't get that. I got huge pieces of fat on the end and the meat didnt seem too marbled. It was good but it was not great for $100. I was glad they served it with sauces cause honestly it was not overly flavorful. The people at the table next to us had the porterhouse and the filet and I was jealous.
My husband has another glass of scotch and I had a glass of shiraz.
The atmosphere was great and modern but the music was a little too loud. There was a photographer walking around and he took some really good pictures of us. I was kicking myself for not getting one this morning but I never asked how much they were cause he came back during a bad time during our meal.
Overall our meal was really good, the atmosphere was nice and romantic, the cocktails were good and the service was excellent.
I would like to come back again and try a few more things on the menu but it will have to be after we have tried some of the other steakhouses in Vegas.
