“It’s such a wonderful, calming experience to have breakfast here during the weekday. It’s calming and everything you’d expect service wise for this kind of establishment. Wish they also offered it on the weekends as I’d probably come more but probably wouldn’t enjoy it being more crowded! The dosa (egg crepe) was delicious and is reminiscent of a Taiwanese egg pancake breakfast. It was incredibly flavorful – so much so that after eating more than half of it, you start to notice the saltiness. Didn’t think to try the pastries here but after trying one with coffee (an incredible pairing) would def come back to try more.”
“Tonight, for the graduation of our daughter, we have decided to try the 4 25. Many years back we have tried Jean George’s restaurant in Shanghai. What a wonderful experience and surprise tonight ! Everything thing was perfectly executed Our waiter, Christian, was very attentive, his service, spotless. Couple of nights back we went to café Boulud @Barnes which is a one star Michelin… total chaos and absolutely unbelievable that it gets a one star rating.. On the contrary, tonight the restaurant 4 25, deserves a star. The amuse bouche, the appetizers were very simple yet tasty. The carte / menu is rather short in choice, not extremely sophisticated but every dish was very well executed. Foie gras and rhubarb were nicely associated Yellow fine tuna was very tasty The main courses: The duck was incredibly well cooked: tender and roasted with a Thai style sauce. The fish was proposed with a twist of Korean flavor. Everything was balanced, interesting and worth every dollar. The venue itself is neat, stylish, not loud, and even the customers are far more sophisticated than the ones @ Boulud Definitely a place to discover Would be more than happy to dine there again in the near future”
“If you’re looking for an elegant, peaceful, and elevated night out, this is the place for you. The food is exquisite every bite creates an explosion of flavors, and each dish surprises you in the best possible way. The staff are incredibly professional and attentive. We were the last guests to leave that night, yet they never once made us feel rushed. Highly recommend this place, and we will definitely be back.”
“An absolutely exceptional dining experience at Four Twenty Five by Jean-Georges—truly one of the finest restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by a stunning, modern atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and inviting. The design is sleek and elegant without feeling cold, and the overall ambiance sets the tone for a memorable evening right away. The food is nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish is thoughtfully curated and executed with incredible precision. You can tell that only the highest-quality ingredients are used, and the flavors are layered in a way that keeps you wanting more with every bite. The menu strikes a perfect balance between creativity and refinement, offering unique combinations that still feel approachable. Presentation is absolutely beautiful—each plate arrives like a piece of art—but it’s the taste that truly leaves a lasting impression. What really elevates the experience even further is the impeccable service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to explain dishes, offer recommendations, and ensure that every detail of your visit is perfect, all without ever being intrusive. You feel taken care of from start to finish, which makes the entire experience even more enjoyable. The pacing of the meal is perfect, allowing you to fully enjoy each course without feeling rushed. Whether it’s your first visit or a special occasion, this is the kind of place that turns dinner into a full experience rather than just a meal.

Without a doubt, a 5-star experience and a place I will be returning to again and again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Four Twenty Five is modern and high end but still felt really lovely and chill. The service was fantastic and the food overall was a major win, especially the Wagyu beef and that incredible Chocolate Almond dessert. The Fluke was another huge standout for me with its fresh, bright flavors. While the Black Bass was good, I personally wouldn’t order it again just because the other dishes set the bar so high. I'll definitely be back for more of that beef and dessert.”
