Le Jardinier fully deserves its new Michelin star. Our group of four had lunch after a museum visit. Everything from the ambience to the food to the service was spectacular. My squid ink shellfish ravioli was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted anywhere in the world, and our most carnivorous diner pronounced the Wagyu burger “the best piece of meat I’ve ever had.” Bravi to everyone at Le Jardinier!

Wow the food is simply amazing. Had the wings and mushrooms for appetizers and the mushrooms are so good. Also had a pepperoni pizza and the lobster ravioli. I can’t not say anything about anything we ordered.
