Jean George Review

Decided to try this place because it's closing end of December. I wanted to try their dine out but their menu wasn't something I liked.

The service was definitely on the higher end. They asked if we wanted coat check. Walked us to the table, watch us sit down and said enjoy etc. During the meal people came 4 times to ask if everything was good. I thought that was a bit too much but I guess they want all their customers to be happy?

One thing I don't like was the stupid table, it was chipped on the corner and my sleeve keeps getting caught, come threads came out. Should have complained but let's not look ugly at a high end restaurant.

We ordered the Korean fried chicken and buttermilk pancake ($20) and the smoked salmon egg benny ($21).

They gave us complimentary madeleines. I've always wanted to try making them but I have never tried eating them before. It was like a tiny little cake, quite soft and had a sweetness to it. I quite like it and I would like to try making it someday.
                                   

When the fried chicken pancake came, I thought it was a bit small for that price but it was ok filling. The fried chicken still have a bit of the crunch and it's tangy and spicy, quite good with the pancake. The pancake wasn't very thick, quite fluffy. Someone asked if it would be better with syrup. Yes because it's dry without syrup. It didn't come with any, I think they want us to eat it with the fried chicken. It was not bad with the fried chicken sauce. If the pancake was thicker than yes I will need syrup.
                                     

Someone liked the egg benny, thought it was done just right. It tasted not bad but I thought it's like normal egg benny. The portion was ok big. I was actually surprised. There were potatoes and some salad on the side.
                                    

Overall, not bad but they are closing so I have to say I won't come back again. They are opening a new restaurant there though so maybe I'll try that one then. The washroom was ok nice too.
