| - I only write reviews if they deserve 5 stars or 0 stars; Im a gemini, that is my balance. I frequent the Aria hotel a lot (I am a Diamond level player). As a local, it is my overall favorite property. I love the bars, I love their casino floor and I always eat at Bardot (another place I love). This past Saturday Night, I ventured to Jean Georges for the first time, a place I usually stare at when I eat at Bardot. From the second I walked in, I was greeted by a hostess with a big, warm, sincere, engaging smile, welcomed by their Manager "Pano". Pano walked me to my table (beautiful spot) and oversaw evey step of phenomenal service. He introduced me to their server Ramon who was and is outstanding (there was another server whose name I forgot and I wish I hadn't because he was just as outstanding and attentive as Ramon). Pano, big as a tree and whose personality and warmth equal his stature introduced me to their Som, Reggie, who guided me thru an extensive and I mean EXTENSIVE wine list (I only drink French). The food? The porterhouse, the Sea Bass and the Calamari (which was the best calamari I have ever eaten and Im from the guinea capital NYC) were amazing. I have been in hospitality my entire life and I am a local small business owner (I own a restaurant/bar with gambling) was this: I ordered an appetizer, am amazing seafood platter so to speak that was mounted, a server was walking by my table right near closing (that is relevant after someone just worked a full shift), he had nothing to do with my table and from the corner of his eye he saw that the ice melted and the water was rising and he didn't want the water to spill on my table? Ladies and Gentlemen, THAT IS ATTENTION TO DETAIL. You cannot teach this. Im jaded in this city. In 3.5 years, the food in this city is great however the service is atrocious. Jean Georges? Arguably one of the best meals, one of the best dining experiences I have ever had in my life. If yelp doubts the validity of this review, please feel free to email me directly at smg19775@gmail.com or call me at 917 510 4910. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the best restaurant in this city. Thank you to the entire staff. My parents will arrive on November 16th and you can believe that their first meal will be here. BLOWN AWAY. Thank you Pano, Reggie, your chef and those 2 amazing servers whose names I do not know...
