Terrace at Jean Georges

The Terrace at Jean Georges Nougatine restaurant is the more casual outdoor version of the restaurant. The food and service is still upscale. It is a neat place to sit outside under the globe at Columbus circle. Considering it's location, we felt it was nicely separated by bushes from the busy street.

Items Ordered

Amuse Bouche

Amuse Bouche

In addition to bread and olive oil, everyone at the table was presented with a small glass of gazpacho soup and a crispy fried cheese ball.

Watermelon Salad

Watermelon Salad

The watermelon and goat cheese salad was a surprisingly good combination. The goat cheese was soft and creamy. There was only a light lemon dressing with a bit of salt.

Heirloom Tomato Salad

Tomato Salad

The tomato salad was very similar to a Greek salad. It was covered in crumbled feta cheese, and had a few pieces of cucumber and olives. There was a nice variety of tomatoes in different colors and shapes.

Organic Crispy Chicken

Chicken

The chicken had a nice light crispy coating on it that was full of flavor and kept the chicken very moist. It was sitting on a mustard sauce and surrounded with an assortment of fresh vegetables.

Beef Tenderloin

Beef Tenderloin

The beef tenderloin was tender. It came with a nice herb sauce that complimented the beef nicely and gave it a lot of flavor. I didn't really like the sauce that the carrots came in.
