Jean-Georges Philadelphia

If you want to be blown away by panoramic floor to ceiling window views of the City of Brotherly Love, and an absolutely beautiful restaurant-this is the place to go. The ear popping elevator that whisks you up 60 floors in a matter of seconds, deposits you the flower walled entryway to the reception area. A bit past the reception is JG Skyhigh lounge and restaurant, while Jean-Georges sits one floor below, down a flight of black stairs, flanked by black walls containing a waterfall feature. The stairs face Jean-George's expansive bar, which is flanked by more floral decor with the restaurant space surrounding it on three sides.The food was mostly terrific. The only plate we might not order at a return visit was the prawn and pasta app. While the prawns were cooked nicely the pasta lacked any oomph. The duck was good, but the stars for us were definitely the carrot schnitzel, the wagyu and the lamb chops. Drinks and desserts were also delicious. The vibe is refined, leisurely dining. A wonderful experience!

Okay--3 stars may seem steep for an establishment like Jean-Georges but it was the definition of OK/Average.My husband and I came here for my birthday and we did a tasting menu. Total but was about $650 before tax and tip. I left extremely unsatisfied by the culinary experience. The ambiance and service we impeccable, but that is expected at that price point.The food however, was incredibly disappointed. Most of the proteins we had were overcooked. Most of the sauces tasted the same. Food was not seasoned correctly, a lot of fatty things that required salt, were not salted. I also thought that the menu lacked creativity. For this price point I would have expected more. The standout items were the homemade desserts, other than that skip the tasting menu, and order a la carte or just come for a drink to enjoy the space

Last month, my husband surprised me with dinner at Jean-Georges to celebrate my birthday. He requested the table by the window with the sunset view. We get to eat yummy food and have THE best view in the city? This was definitely one of my best birthdays ever. Being here, on the 60th floor of the Comcast Building, it doesn't quite feel like I was in Philly anymore. It wasn't until our server brought over a scrumptious selection of bread, including the two cutest lil pretzels (as a homage to our city), that I was reminded of where we were. Every single dish we ate from the six-course tasting menu was innovative, delicious, well thought out, and beautifully executed. The only dish that we did not like as much was the roasted black sea bass, but only because everything else was so good. I also cannot give enough praise to the chefs on how cohesive and not random the tasting menu was. Many restaurants in the city make the mistake of not having a cohesive tasting menu. Jean-Georges is easily the best restaurant in Philly. The only restaurant that even comes close to Jean-Georges' culinary level is probably La Croix. Service was top notch, too. The staff are well-trained, professional, and hold themselves to the highest standard.Alas, we concluded our six-course meal with the final course, which was a delicious chocolate, passion fruit dessert. But dinner was not quite over! Our server brought over a small birthday cake on the house. And then shortly after, another staff member swings by with a cart of post-dinner sweets to complete the Jean-Georges experience.There was not one single second of this I did not enjoy. We can't wait to be back again.

Vegetarian perspectiveFirst, I was thrilled they had a vegetarian tasting menu.Some courses were good, some were flavorless or not exciting. I love exploring vegan food and was just hoping to really be blown away by creative vegetarian options here. While some were creative in presentation, I was really upset that the flavor and bigger creativity was lacking in some. Compared to other vegan places I've been. For this price and this name, I was expecting each dish to be memorable.The views were incredible and the service was probably the most memorable part. She was great! Plus all the small touches. Birthday dessert, to-go bag with a breakfast pastry, exchanging cocktails, etc.

The view was beautiful and the sunset was lovely to have during the meal. I ate here with a tasting meal for an event so I can't speak to the value but the portions were generous for a tasting menu.We had a custard type dish served in a shell, scallop crudite, fresh pasta with truffle, fish with parsnip and greens, steak, and floral dessert. Presentation was pretty but didn't have a ton of seasoning/flavor. The pasta was fresh but did kind of taste of fettuccini Alfredo you can make at home. My favorite piece was the greens served with the fish. Service was really lovely and I would come for the views alone, but I imagine it is an expensive meal.

I saw an episode on YouTube of Joshua Weissman and JG cooking challenge then i realized i havent finished writing my review here, so Im here to finish what i started. My cousin was visiting from Chicago and i wanted to take her somewhere special and get some good views and photos while we were at it. I've been here at least 2 times already prior to this visit, so it was certainly an experience i wanted to share. I was carefully planning to arrive early enough to have seating without a reservation and still be able to experience the sunset. Chester was very welcoming and he showed me around and got my promptly seated at a beauutiful spot that overlooks the bar and the scenic view. Drew was my server and he was very attentive and accommodating. If your guest doesnt drink, they can actually make mocktails for you - its not on the menu, but you can actually tell your waiter what flavor you want it to be and what you want mixed into it. Same thing for cocktails - name it, they can make it. The food was delicious and very presentable. The flavors were very distinct and you can taste everything it was cooked with. Its not overpowering. It is to my liking. It was like a work of art. I had the great opportunity to meet and shake hands with Alessandro Picardi, the assistant general manager of their establishment. I had to share with him my praises for their quality and overall great service.It was a very unique experience, highly recommended and definitely worth a visit with your special friends, family and loved ones.

I had a hard time landing on a rating for this restaurant because the food is certainly good, truthfully it's the price point that lowered my overall score. Here's the number one feature of this place: the view. The location and atmosphere was absolutely stunning there is not a doubt about it. On the flip side, this is what you're paying for. The menu and food was about what you would expect from a fine dining establishment. While we liked our meals and have no outright complaints, for the price point we were not totally blown away. The portions are also incredibly small. We did not do the tasting menu, just ordered from the normal menu, but we honestly left hungry. This would be a wonderful place for a happy hour or a small appetizer but I do not think we would do the entire experience again just simply based off the price versus value of the food.

Fine dining experience with an excellent view of Philadelphia. The restaurant is located high in the four seasons hotel. When you walk in, you immediately get a high end feel so make sure to dress appropriately. The food was also pretty good although the menu was quite limited. Price is on the higher end as this is a fine dining restaurant. Take lots of pictures here! Make sure to make reservations in advance as they are often booking out well in advance

First off, the views are just incredible. On the 59th floor of the Four Seasons hotel, which is the tallest building in Philly, you can't get any better views than that. We went at 2.30pm after lunch and before dinner so it was a light bites menu. We got to see 360 degrees view of the city during daytime, sunset and the city lights at night. The elevator up to JG was definitely a ride and an experience. The decor as you enter during the holiday season is just prestigious looking and the interior decor was beautiful, especially with the reflective ceiling mirrors. Now for the food, we had the hash brown caviar, kale salad with salmon, sea trout crispy rice and wagyu cheesesteak spring rolls. The $68 caviar hash brown was good but definitely not with the price. I thought we would at least get a few pieces of hash brown but it was just one small piece. I did like the soft and flaky hash brown but I've never understood the priciness of caviar. The cheesesteak spring roll was good though the meat was rarer than I expected. I'm used to normal medium rare wagyu but didn't expect for the spring roll to have that though. It had a light cheese inside and personally I prefer it that way. It came with a very vinegary tomato chutney type of condiment which was good but I ate that separately instead of combining it with the spring rThe kale salad was refreshing and had a light drizzle of dressing. We added the salmon to it and that was cooked pretty well and soft and flakey. The sea trout crispy rice wasn't as crispy but I didn't mind the less crispy texture. The sea trout tasted like spicy tuna but with a stronger flavour. However, I've had better crispy rice tbh. Overall, definitely an experience to have. Reservations are hard to get for lunch or dinner. The downstairs bar area open just after 5pm.

no. You cannot have my phone number. And stop giving me an attitude when I say no while i am showing up for lunch dining in person. Ew!
