Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Midtown East

We had an amazing dinner experience last night. Our waitress Kathy, from Venezuela, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was in tuned to our needs, knowledge of the menu and drinks, and very charismatic. Our meal was delicious, I got the spaghetti and the addition of baratta cheese was fantastic. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake. I felt like we were in some far away land. The twinkle lights, the trees, it was magical.

The food was very good. Delicious PEI Pink moon oysters and other great selections. Hamachi crudo was great and I love the idea of local fresh ingredients. I’m glad we came- the halibut was a little too hard on the outside for me but the inside was nicely cooked. Brussels and potato purée were simply delicious. The brûlée cheesecake and cappuccino to finish helped power the 20 block walk home! It’s up there with the best of the restaurants I’ve been to. Prices were a little high but that’s what you expect in NYC.

This place is just perfect! First we had the Parker rolls (must have) the whipped butter with garlic was so tasty!! Second we had the wedge salad which was very fresh and the spicy ranch was so good. Third we had the skirt steak with twice baked potato. Skirt steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The cranberry pear punch cocktail was great!! All around great atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

The Marshal has quickly become one of our favorite places. What Charlie Marshall achieves is remarkable; he is a real asset to the neighborhood. We dined on Christmas Eve and had a great time.

Jojo’s is JeanGeorge’s home grown restaurant. Jojo’s was the name his mother called Jean George as a child. Jojo’s is thus a treasure in this neighborhood. A lovely townhouse filled with amazing professionals who love & live food, a kitchen that consistently produces beautiful, delicious, fresh and interesting food consistently every night with low key comfortable panache. The salads are amazing. - warm seafood salad has often been a source of comfort and nutrition alongside a proper glass of fine wine to wash away the days worry for this diner. All the seafood is gorgeous - like the lettuce cup tuna tartar. Pastas always deliver - lovely textures & intense flavor combinations to die for. Entrees like the lobster, salmon and sea bass simply sing. Meats, like my Duck tonight, are some of the best cuts of met I’ve ever known. Wines are carefully selected with not a bad bottle in the bunch. Desserts are divine. The bread pudding I had one Christmas evening was a true gift with my Sauterne. However, my favorite is the most decadent rich butterscotch pudding I’ve ever had - another holdover from Jean George’s youth no doubt and a wonder of my world as well as all of those dozens whom I’ve shared it with. Jean George does so many things well. - ABCV, haute cuisine, fine French food as well as amazing steaks and more. It is perhaps his most elegant and pure expression of his love for food at Jojos that brings me back even after moving from the east side to the west. Joyeaux Noel and merci beaucoup Jojo & company.
