After Hurricane Sandy, Jean George's Perry St. outpost had a very damaged restaurant with a kitchen of ovens, sinks and friars floating under water. As the hostess shared with us last Sunday, not one employee from this very restaurant was left without a job until last week's reopening post Hurricane. From dishwasher to bartender, Jean George rearranged all of his Perry St. employees by placing them in his other restaurants so that no employee was left without work. This sort of thing has one admiring Jean George for not only his fantastic chef skills but for his actions as as an individual and as an employee.
For me, these gestures reveal the respect and dedication he has for his restaurants and all that they encompass. This care is emulated in the relaxed professional and diligent wait staff and the beautifully presented and quite tasteful food at all of his restaurants, at Jean George every detail counts and at Perry St. it is no different.
Perry St. was not my first Jean George experience and my expectations were high. But like all his other establishments, expectations were met and left us diners with a lovely Sunday afternoon to reminisce upon.

The environment encourages a full afternoon of fine dining and enjoyment. The food arrives slowly. It is freshly prepared and quite tasty. Alcoholic beverages and cappuccinos compliment the meal quite perfectly and even on a cloudy day, the sunlight seeps through the large glass windows allowing for a comfortable and uncrowded dining experience. My boyfriend and I dined with my father and sister and could have happily sat for hours as the atmosphere and the restaurant itself encourage it.
I'll be honest, the tuna burger was a bit of a disappointment as the tuna was flavorless, but other wise the goat cheese omelet, the Eggs Benedict (no ham) with smoked salmon, the house made Bloody Mary and coffees, the warm chocolate cake and the sorbet desserts were all just right.
