Good for special occasions

Le Jardinier is an approachable yet refined hyper-seasonal restaurant from Michelin-starred Chef Alain Verzeroli. Rooted in classic French technique, Verzeroli has created a menu where seasonality a prominent role: local, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs, and greens are complemented by sustainable proteins. The wine list features over 350 references, and has an international focus drawing heavily on the French regions of Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux. Cocktails utilize high quality craft spirits, fortified wines, fresh herbs, and house made tinctures and bitters.

From the OpenTable editors: Joël Robuchon disciple Alain Verzeroli came into his own at this bright and plant-filled Midtown restaurant that reflects the seasonal, produce-forward menu. Dishes like halibut with morels and a white asparagus veloute manage to be both unfussy but still destination-worthy, as proven by its MICHELIN Star.

The food was delicious, the service was great, and the ambience was delightful. However, although I am accustomed to small portions and high prices at Michelin starred restaurants, it was still a shock to pay $42.00 for two spears of white asparagus. Granted, it was delicious, creative, and beautifully presented, but still! I will return, but I will brace myself for more sticker shock.

This was my third visit in recent months. I think the food, service and ambiance were great. Price, a little high but nowadays all restaurants are the same. The only thing I couldn’t understand was the size and the design of the printed menu. It is confusing. They better redesign it and make it more user friendly.

The dishes were beautifully presented and creatively crafted, showcasing a true attention to detail. The atmosphere was equally stunning, creating a warm and inviting environment. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. While the food was enjoyable, it didn't quite deliver the 'wow' factor I was hoping for, and considering the price point, it felt a bit overpriced for what was offered.
