Jean-Georges at Topping Rose House

Sunday evening off season - thoroughly enjoyable

I frequently go to Topping Rose as I live in Bridgehampton, however this latest visit was a not a pleasant experience. The waitress got our order wrong and management did not offer a free drink, desert or anything. I sent mine back . The waitress then had an attitude. Neither the waitress or the manager on duty spoke English clearly.

We’re fans on the restaurant but felt that the service was poor. I was there for my birthday. We ordered two martinis straight up with olives. They came with nothing and the waiter asked if we wanted fruit. I reminded him I ordered olives which he promptly brought. My wife ordered a second one the same way and it came with a twist. It had to be remade. For dinner, I ordered simply grilled lamb chops with sides of both fries and Brussels sprouts. I got an order of cold fries and mashed potatoes. I sent back the mashed for the sprouts but eventually cancelled it as we were almost finished with dinner. Just a bit disappointed at a usually excellent restaurant.

I was very disappointed in the menu , it was small and vague. To me not enough choices, and what I ordered I did not like. I did speak to the manager about putting my credit card on the open table reservation. We did straighten this out. I've been to the resturant before and loved it but highly disappointed on my last visit.

Frankly did not meet our high expectations given referrals and reviews.

The waiter was so kind and friendly!

We had a fantastic and sublime meal at topping rose! It was great

Not kid friendly. Delicious food. True Hamptons ambiance. They were understaffed, which was a little surprising. Very old crowd. (Probably time of year). Summer folks are gone.

My girlfriends and I had brunch here recently and we left overall pleased. The food was delicious & the presentation was perfect. In addition our service was excellent!

I indicated on the reservation that this was a birthday meal - nothing - no one mentioned it at all. By the end of the meal, we just wanted to leave, so I never said anything.
The service was dicey at the beginning- people around us came later and got their drinks first. We had to ask again for ours. Food is pricy and portions are small.
At least it’s mostly good. They were out of the truffle pizza unfortunately. The hamburger is very good and was cooked perfectly. Also, crispy salmon sushi is delicious. Squid ink pasta, not so much. At least it wasn’t noisy and crowded. If it had been crowded, the service would have been truly terrible because there weren’t enough of them.

What a disappointment! Food came out cold. Was small portions and low quality. Pretty ambiance, but for the price point, it was terrible.
Also, service SUCKED!

Service and food was outstanding!!

This is our favorite restaurant in Hamptons. Have been there many many times. However, they changed Chef recently and food quality has changed dramatically. Grilled Lamb chops we ordered came with a very heavy spicy sauce on top. For sure were not grilled but fully cooked in oven. Ravioli were not freshly made and with very thick dry and tasteless dough. Duck came very dry and overcooked. In the beginning of the summer all those dishes were exquisite.
The other negative turn are kids (literally) at the front sitting people. Its a famous French restaurant owned by the world renowned Chef, why not hire someone a bit more appropriate and less rude..

Finally a worthy meal in the Hamptons. Not much more than you pay at ordinary places for dinner out here but quality and creativity far above the rest

What happened to this place? Used to be so nice... Has JG been there there this summer?

I don’t normally write reviews but we got such great service that I wanted to comment. It wasn’t especially busy but the kitchen dropped our order for some reason. The waitress apologized and comped our meal. Normally, a restaurant might offer a drink or desert but they really exceeded my expectations. I’m a fan!

the service was very good the lunch menu is very limited

Always love topping rose. Great food and service

Food was underwhelming. Service was spotty at best.

We had an 8pm reservation for two to sit outside on a cloudy Monday night in August that I had to secure with a credit card. We arrived precisely at 8pm and were told that our table just had to be cleared, although there were abundant tables available inside. Twenty minutes later we were apologetically informed by the hostess that our table was “taken” by another couple and we would have to wait for another table to finish dessert and pay their bill if we wanted to sit outside. I’m still not sure how the other couple could have taken our table without assistance from the hostess. We were compensated with a free cocktail - only upon our insistence. We were then offered the dark end of a table for 10, but chose to wait for a proper table. We were ultimately seated about 15 minutes later at a nice table for two on the deck. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, which was mediocre at best. We ordered the Crispy Salmon Sushi and Tuna Tartare appetizers and the Paccheri and Meatballs and Parmesan Crusted Chicken entrees. The Crispy Salmon was very good. The Tuna Tartare had good flavor, but the consistency of the tuna was ground as opposed to chopped, which lessened its appeal. The sauces in both of the entrees were very good, but the meat in each entree was dry and seemed over-cooked. We’ve been to this restaurant several times, mainly in the off-season, and generally liked it. After this latest experience, we are not eager to return any time of the year.

Food and service were very good. Ingredients fresh, & excellent quality & prepared wonderfully. Ambiance wasn’t anything special. I was disappointed to be honest. Expected it to be hipper & interesting. Glad we tried it! Not as costly as I thought it would be.

Just like The Inn at Pound Ridge, Topping Rose House has forgotten what makes a decent meal. Lunch was served relatively cold. Fries were hard, cold and old. Chicken was pre-prepared, plated and served not warm. Everything was average. Perhaps they’ve lost their way or done care about the details anymore.

Great atmosphere and thoughtful service

Amazing service and food is to die for. Gorgeous place with outdoor seating!

Excellent from start to finish. Great service and great food. Well worth it.

Having eaten in many of Jean Georges restaurant I found the food extremely disappointing.

Jean-George’s is a great chef and his creations are totally worth the trip.
But this restaurant is not up to his standards. The noise level is unbelievable. The starters are correct. The entrees were acceptable. The dessert were a pure disappointment.
Only positive point: the wine list is more than reasonable for the Hamptons with very nice wines at good prices.
We will go back to JG. But not here.

Love this place!!!! Service was outstanding and the manager (Juanes) was so kind and hospitable! Highly recommend

First time back since JGV took over operations in the dining room. Enjoyed a memorable brunch with my family, young kids in tow, without pretense. Location is subdued but not stodgy washed against a backdrop of white walls and green hued seating. Each of the kids raved over their tuna tartar. Remarkably the roasted chicken my wife ordered over a salad of frisée turned out to be the star of the show. Service was attentive and unobtrusive. Highly recommended.

really disappointing. the service was uneven throughout and while the food was decent the portions were small. Had hoped for more

Great meal, service seems to be slipping!

Horrible attitude from hostess who informed me on arrival my reservation had no bearing on what time I would be seated. I mean really horrible!!!!

Unapologetic hostess with an attitude when table was ready 45 minutes after our original reservation time. I have stayed in the hotel before which is great, but I will avoid the restaurant after my last experience.

The food and service were excellent. The room was too noisy. Could not talk.

We are never disappointed at Topping Rose House; dinners are always fabulous. Food, service, the very best you can find in the Hamptons at pretty normal prices (for this market).

I had a burger, side order of beans and my wife had lobster. She didn’t order a drink
But I ordered a Diet Coke. We split a dessert and the bill including tip was $125. Quite expensive and my wife’s lobster entree was miniscule. If you want people to come back
You shouldn’t leave them hungry after soaking them for $125!

U don't need to dress very formal for their brunch but u can tell u can't dress too casually to dine there .... Food is good

Excellent. J-G is consistently great.

We sat outside, the service was excellent-attentive but not excessive. Food was delicious and well prepared.

Shocking experience at what I once thought of as a good restaurant. Soggy stale lobster, terrible service etc.

Lovely evening - a minor glitch or two but otherwise great. 4 1/2 stars

Was an OK dinner. They clearly do not read comments made on the Open Table reservation. I indicated it was a BIG birthday for my husband and asked for a candle on dessert which they did not do. Luckily, I had both a candle and matches in my purse as backup. French fries were cold and had to be sent back, my salmon that I requested medium was way overcooked, my husband's chicken was OK - not great, took an absurdly long time to receive the glass of tequila he requested. Not sure if I would go back. Always nice to sit outside but the food for the price is not in sync.
