If you are craving Kobe A5, arguably the best beef in the world, we have it. But, the offerings extend far beyond a simple steak. Three different types of beef from around the world, dozens of cuts and a selection of seafood and unique sides that would put any fish house to shame. Jean Georges Steakhouse has something for everyone, as long as everyone is looking for the best of the best.

My new husband and I went to Jean George for our wedding night celebration dinner and the team at Jean George went above and beyond to make the evening special. We were greeted with complimentary champagne and seated very quickly. Our team of servers were very helpful in ensuring we were never without water or additional cocktails (lychee Bellini and a signature non alcoholic mocktail) throughout the meal. The food itself was absolutely the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. To start our meal we were given a delicious bread and butter, then we ordered the beef carpaccio and bacon wrapped shrimp as appetizers. For our main dish we each ordered the F1 petite filet as well as asparagus and maitake mushrooms as sides. We planned to finish our day by ordering dessert and they surprised us by preparing a beautiful complimentary board of their dessert offerings and wished us congratulations with more champagne and took a photo for us with our phones. We will be raving about this experience. Absolutely lovely evening.
