Description: Jean-Georges brings a chic and sophisticated vibe to Soho at Mercer Kitchen, with a bright, airy café upstairs and a spacious restaurant and bar on the lower level. The ambiance of the restaurant is timelessly stylish, sexy and fun, with exposed brick walls, long banquettes and candlelit sconces; and the American Provencal menu features fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared in a simple yet elegant style, with favorites like the Tuna Spring Roll, Steamed Shrimp Salad, Wood-Fired Pizzas and Jean-Georges’ classic Warm Valrhona Chocolate Cake.

I loved the food, it was really great! Ambient is very good too. Unfortunetely, the waiter will rush you. I've been there twice and both times the same happened. More

Try the shrimp salad with is a highlight of the house, it was the suggestion of most of the people on foursquare. I tried a tuna roll with were great also. More

We had lunch there after shopping in the area. The server was extremely rude and arrogant but we decided not to spoil our good mood. We had the steamed shrimp salad - very good, the black truffle pizza - nothing special and the burger which actually came with a spicy sauce already all over the plate without warning. Overpriced standard... More

I love going here when I'm in New York. The space itself is quite cozy, sort of under the street, and the menu is really good. I always say I'll try something new, but the roast chicken is just too good, and I can't resist - perfectly roasted chicken with creamy mashed potatoes, au jus, and roasted vegetables - how... More

Pleasant food in the cool basement room with restful muted colours. We had a light lunch, sharing a very fresh seafood platter, somewhat on the pricy side at $40 even though it included half a small lobster (minus claws). An unexpected and welcome element were some chilled steamed mussels. We also had an unusual and tasty kale salad despite the... More

We had a table downstairs and the ambiance is very nice. The food was good too and prices are good. We had a three course meal and because the service was very fast with our meals, it took us only a small two hours to finish. Perhaps good when you are have a quick bite after work, but this was...
