The gardener

Food, ambience, and service was all great! They change their menu each season which is cool. I had the scallops and Risotto which both were absolutely delicious. You can taste every ingredient and explosion of flavors, colors, and textures. The vibe was warm. Alex, the bartender recommended a non alcoholic mock tail which was earth and tart that paired well with my Risotto. I recommend this Michelin star restaurant.

Decided to try their “SEASONAL EXPRESSION OF WINTER”, and It was ok. Each dish was beautifully plated, however after a few bites you would get tired of the taste. The duck was cooked to perfection, but definitely would’ve been better with more vegetables to pair with. The dessert on the other hand was amazing, not too overly sweet. Overall, it was a nice dining experience, friendly staff. Will be back to try other dishes next time.

Just wow! Amazing service and food at this mid town restaurant. I am doing the dry January. The Ever Fall was outstanding. The pear, lime and ginger combination was fantastic! I also liked Le Jardin too. The cucumber and mint were good. Exquisite bass with green pea or olive purée on the bottom. The cheese brioche rolls are delicious. The golden beet and citrus vinaigrette salad was amazing! I will bring my friends here the next time I dine here! Thank you to the staff for welcoming me here too.

Had an unforgettable dinner with family. The place was full, but our table for five was waiting for us soon as we arrived--booked the table a month ahead. Perfectly prepared and heart-warming food and service deserving of its Michelin star. Super attentive, thoughtful staff. They ran out of Expressions tasting menu but made up for it with excellent recommendations and some complimentary dishes (scallops, wagyu, steak tartare, risotto, salmon) and desserts (yuzu, Montblanc merengue, chocolate mousse, etc.). Très magnifique!

Flawless experience. Everything at Le Jardinier is perfectly executed, from the food itself to the ambiance and the decor right down to the service. I normally don’t give much credibility to Michelin-starred restaurants, as they’re a dime a dozen in NYC and tend to be more pretentious than they’re worth. But, Le Jardinier deserves every Michelin star it can get. To begin, the restaurant and its decor is a knockout. It feels like dining in an airy and light-filled greenhouse, further complemented by the green marble and plush cushions throughout. It has a sleek, casual and refined atmosphere that you don’t often find in NYC these days, and which almost conjures nostalgic thoughts of power-lunching in the 80s, 90s or even 00s. At times, I nearly felt like I was dining in a restaurant from the set of American Psycho…which is to say, I loved it. The food itself is remarkable, and surprisingly affordable. The lobster roll quite literally melts in your mouth, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had - having spent years living in Rhode Island, that’s quite the endorsement. The hiramasa with caviar was exceptional, and I nearly asked to swap out my own order after tasting the king salmon that my mother ordered. Finally, the service is absolutely top-notch. Our server Griffin was friendly and accommodating, very attentive but never intrusive, and he was certainly knowledgeable about the menu. In a nutshell: If you and Patrick Bateman can’t get a reservation at Dorsia (you won’t), then you should definitely come here.
