Surprisingly disappointing
Sunday, April 02, 2006
We're big fans of Jean Georges/Nougatine, so we refused to believe the negative reviews on Citysearch and try for ourselves. I'm sorry to say they're right- although the service is outstanding and the staff very friendly and attitude-free, the food at Perry Street is average at best. The crab dumplings, which I was looking forward to, were so over peppered that the delicate flavor was completely overpowered. My arctic char entree was average at best and the desserts, to be consistent, were worth leaving as well. The tiny portions were not consistent with the *large* bill, I might add. There are too many fantastic restaurants in NYC to pay this much for mediocrity- go somewhere else.
Pros: staff, service
Cons: food
