Good for business meals
Fancy
Charming

Le Jardinier is an approachable yet refined hyper-seasonal restaurant from Michelin-starred Chef Alain Verzeroli. Rooted in classic French technique, Verzeroli has created a menu where seasonality a prominent role: local, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs, and greens are complemented by sustainable proteins. The wine list features over 350 references, and has an international focus drawing heavily on the French regions of Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux. Cocktails utilize high quality craft spirits, fortified wines, fresh herbs, and house made tinctures and bitters.

From the OpenTable editors: Joël Robuchon disciple Alain Verzeroli came into his own at this bright and plant-filled Midtown restaurant that reflects the seasonal, produce-forward menu. Dishes like halibut with morels and a white asparagus veloute manage to be both unfussy but still destination-worthy, as proven by its MICHELIN Star.

Staff were friendly, and the bread was amazing. The rest of the food was overpriced and mediocre. Salmon for 56$ was dry, with burnt broccolini and nondescript sauce. Hiramasa appetizer (almost 50$) was pretty, but bland. Will not return.

From the time we sat down until we left we had an incredible experience. A beautiful bottle of old vintage wine was chosen with expert help from Christopher our sommelier. Our meal was served by Griffin who orchestrated every course perfectly. The food was artistically presented and was a superb blend of flavors to please the palate. Since it was my birthday, a special dessert was presented with a candle and good wishes. To say we had a wonderful time is an understatement.
