“Le Jardinier was a beautiful dining experience. The space feels refined, calm, and elegant without being pretentious. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the menu strikes a great balance between lightness, seasonality, and flavor. We had the 3-course menu and started with the burrata and leeks, followed by the snow crab and salmon. The starters were incredibly fresh, refreshing, and well-balanced. The salmon was cooked medium and tasted excellent. A special mention goes to the house-made bread and butter—absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of the meal. For dessert, we had the yuzu mousse and mango mille-feuille, both beautifully executed and a perfect finish. The service was professional, attentive, and warm throughout the evening. A wonderful fine-dining experience where thoughtful cuisine, beautiful design, and great hospitality come together effortlessly.”
“An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The flavors were layered and refined, with beautiful balance in both texture and presentation. The atmosphere carried a sophisticated warmth that made the entire experience feel both elevated and comfortable. A restaurant that delivers the kind of thoughtful, memorable dining one hopes for at the highest level. From the first course to dessert, the menu maintained a remarkable level of consistency and sophistication. Natalia”
“An unforgettable experience here at Le Jardinier!!! Whilst it wasnt a tasting menu each course including the amuse bouche were so special. We were greeted with the person at the door being very kind to put my umbrella in the holder. We were led to our table and the ambience was nicely darkly lit and very atmospheric. The service throughout was impeccable and always led with a smile. One of them lit up when I told them it was my birthday and they were super kind to give a complimentary dessert with a candle and a message at the end. The bread at the start was very special in itself. So many kinds to choose from and each was very unique with their own textures and size. I loved the layered bread and the butter with the name of the restaraunt on it. The bread melted in my mouth. The amuse bouche was plated and presented so beautifully in the dome. It was so delectable The appetisers were extemely rich. I was surprised on how big the foie gras dish was. Loved the presentation and how it came with the perfect bread which was cut so nicely. The vegetables that came with it were so good and the combination was so good. The scallop dish was also really good. But it was quite salty and the green sauce added a weird combination that felt quite off, but still i got used to it and i ended up enjoying it a lot. The octopus was extremely tender as well as the duck. The duck skin was unbelievable. So crispy. The sauces were also super rich and light and delicious as well as the duck croquet which went so well with it. The ravioli was also incredible Each of the desserts also looked exceptional and tasted as well, bursting with colours and flavours and textures. Highly recommend this place!!”
“Great service Le Jardinier is definitely a must try! Nice and quiet atmosphere. Great service. Food is delicious and fresh! One of my favorite things was the bread basket, their bread is something very special! High level of baked goods!! The small bread with the spinach flour was unbelievable. Can’t wait to come back !!”
“This has become our favorite French restaurant in New York City. Modern and elegant without being pretentious. The cuisine is creative and delicious, competing head to head with Michelin star restaurants in Paris. The staff is extremely friendly and competent — the team is simply generous. They ran out of the house wine and offered a much better selection for the same price. My wife mentioned how she loved seared fois gras, and a surprise course appeared as a gift from the chef. Something he had been developing for an upcoming menu. Don’t expect that treatment on your first visit, we’ve been coming here every couple weeks lately!”
