| - For our anniversary, my husband and I had tickets to Jason Mraz performing at the cosmo, we waited till almost last minute to pick a restaurant for dinner, so we decided to call Jean Georges because of the location, and we were pleased with our choice. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner. My husband enjoyed a beer, and I sipped on a delicious glass of moscato.
We enjoyed the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer, but we left the pear and horseradish sauce on the plate, it was a rough combination. The shrimp appetizer is 3 pieces for $24, and the waiter offered to add a fourth piece for $7 more, but we declined. Around the same time as the Appetizer, the waiter brought us an assortment of fresh breads; pretzels, raisin, sourdough, and a crisp cheese crusted flatbread. They were good, as any fresh hot bread should be.
For our entrees, my husband chose the crispy short rib with polenta fries, and the truffle mac n cheese for his side. The short rib and the glaze on it was melt in your mouth delicious, the meat was falling off the bone, so good. The truffle mac n cheese was awesome, the pasta was so tender, the sauce was creamy and perfect, and the crumbs on top gave it the perfect little crunch. Grown up mac and cheese at its finest.
I ordered the crispy organic chicken with spinach, and the brussel sprouts for my side. Before my food arrived, i was expecting it to be a chicken breast half pan seared and roasted to make it crispy, what i was actually served was large whole chicken breast cooked to perfection, then coated and fried in a batter that sort of reminded me of a tempura batter, but better. The batter was light and did not stick to the chicken so i was able to enjoy both separately and together. It was not greasy or overly seasoned at all. The chicken was served on a bed of sauteed Spinach and a cheese sauce. It was deciduous putting all those flavors together. The side of Brussels were good, not amazing, it was about average of what you would find at other restaurants but appearance was beautiful. They were roasted and served with thick chucks of bacon and thin slices of pear(?). I wish the brussels had been roasted a bit longer so they had a bit more tenderness, still i enjoyed the dish anyway.
We asked for the dessert menu and instead were served a plate of their warm chocolate cake (chocolate lava) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to share in celebration of our anniversary. It was a sweet gesture (no pun intended), and it was the desert my husband was planning to order, so he was in heaven. I am not a fan of chocolate cake, but it was good, maybe things taste better when they are free lol. The ice cream was amazing. Creamy and smooth, served on a be of sweet vanilla powder with a piece of caramelized sugar laid on top. It was the best ice cream ive had in a long time.
Price wise the meal came out to much less than we expected, having been to other steak houses I the strip, i believe it was appropriate for the quality. I give this restaurant 4 stars for the service and food. But i was tempted to give less because of the photo service they provide in the restaurant. We had a photographer come to the table and take a few pictures. We reviewed the prints and selected two, expecting that they would be pricy, as in $40 range for the pictures. I almost choked when she came back with my receipt for $70. Definitely only something i would purchase on an occasion like this, but for that price?! Wow. We would never accept that again. It didn't ruin our night, just a bit of sticker shock before we headed over to the cosmo to enjoy the rest of our night.
