Jean Georges' restaurants are very hit or miss with me... I love Jojo and Spice Market but was lukewarm on Perry Street and did not care for Nougatine. However, this Vegas Steakhouse is fantastic and I would go here over the other Vegas Steakhouses any day.
I started off with my standard Caesar salad. Hard to screw up (though some places manage to!) but there are various ways to make it notable (see my Strip House review). Many places use big, thin fresh cuts of parmesan but Jean Georges takes a different tack. The parmesan is grated so small and light that it literally seems fluffy and melts immediately on the tongue. NICE.
Next was the sweetbreads. If a chef is willing to serve this, he knows his stuff, and these were cooked in an extremely (and mercifully) light sesame truffle sauce. Very good, and a nice change from typical steakhouse fare.
Normally I like to go for the filet, but when I see a soy-glazed short rib, I have to have it. It's literally a compulsion. I can get a great filet any time in NYC, and I'm glad I went with the short rib because it was amazing. I think even better than the short rib at BLT prime because of the soy glaze. Served up with a side of creamed spinach and a glass of South Australian Shiraz, it really hits the spot.
