And it's a total splurge lunch and worth every penny. <strong>Stephanie:</strong> Um...do you mean Tina (me) instead of Marge (a commenter and visitor of this site)? Anyways, my party finished before you because of time restrictions. Ariel, my accompanying diner that day, had to go back to work and I have to go back to class. Hence, we rushed the waiters to move a bit faster and we ate a bit quickly as well. In terms of service, I find it a bit off. Even though it's been ages since I last visited JG besides this post, they did ignore us a bit while we finished our dishes/meal a good ten minutes or so. It's understood that they don't want to rush a diner, but since it's the afternoon and we have our own careers/lives, we don't have that leisure of time. I guess dinner would be more appropriate or accommodating since everyone's generally not in a hurry to be somewhere. Maybe we shall see or meet someday...that's if we recognize each other in some way. Srin: Oh, thanks! :) At least you’re putting imaginary pounds on, not the real stuff I like am.

This is eye popping to see my image in someone else's photo on the Internet! .How did your party start after us and finish before us? We had 2 courses each plus dessert and the usual treats afterwards that you mentioned. Your party was gone before we had dessert. We enjoyed our lunch as well. I had the Ribbon Tuna and the Corn Ravioli, others in my party had the Garlic Soup with the Frog Legs. Foie Gras, and some kind of salad that I can't remember. I have had all the above in various visits except for the salad. All outstanding. How was your service? Ours was off. (For JG standards anyway.) I find dinner to be a perfect experience, but the lunch hour service needs some improvement. The new dining room is a nice improvement. What a difference with the sheer curtains instead of those blinds they used to have. And that hidous checkered board carpet is gone :) Maybe we shall "see" each other again in our photos!

It gives me the most godawful cravings when I read, which is always at night. I must've put on kilos of weight just by reading your blog.

Interesting idea. The cucumber soup and the yuzu foam sounds really interesting. Was the soup savory?
