VeggieGirl: Ah, I see. Sorry that you had to face that situation. catherine: Even though JG is pricey for the not-so-wealthy (e.g. a poor college/graduate student), this particular lunch venture is worth it in terms of the superb quality of the ingredients. Randy: I went there pretty often back in 2008 but I don't feel compelled to go there once a week since they don't change their menu often.

Dollar for dollar best lunch in Manhattan, you should try to go more often. I have been most weeks over the past 10 years.

The photos are amazing. I’m not a big fan of JG in terms of price vs. quality, but got to respect the service and presentation.

**Just as a heads up: I will not be able to comment on blogs as often now, during this semester, due to work overload (I’m stressed already) – PLEASE know that I’m still loyally reading, but just won’t have time to comment. I hope you understand!!

Let’s just say that they ran out of salt in the kitchen, because they decided to dump all of what they had on MY plate. Blech!

Marie: Well, the lunch is relatively inexpensive for what you would get from a high-end restaurant: 2 savory courses for $28, $13 for an additional; $8 for dessert. joan nova: Thanks. VeggieGirl: Awww... why not? Always Eating: Thank you and thanks for delurking! You should try them out for lunch. It's waaay cheaper than dinner.

Great shots! Haven’t made my way over to Jean Georges, saving it for a special occasion, but it all looks delicious. First time I’m commenting surprisingly, but hope to keep in touch!

Yeah, something about “dehydrated sponge” does not seem like a dessert to be optimistic about! Even though some of the dishes you had weren’t amazing, I’m still envious of your meal. Especially the soup amuse bouche, though I don’t really know what hibiscus tastes like.
