Wonderful gem in NYC, so close to GCT. We had a few different menu options and it was all amazing. The waitstaff gave just the right amount of time for us to enjoy our meal. Wine selection is limited, but the choices are all great. I will definitely be a return customer.

The entire experience was fantastic. Beautiful ambience and easy to have a conversation with your partner or whoever you are there with since it is quiet. Food was immaculate and the espresso chocolate martini was spectacular. Highly recommend for a nice date night, top notch. Will come back again!

Vibes are cozy and upscale. The food was delicious, unfortunately some of the cocktails were a bit off/not to our liking, but the wine choices were fantastic and the waiter was quick to make a swap. The team at Jeans made my birthday party extra special with a champagne toast at the end of the night! Thanks all - can't wait to come back!
