from Google"I had the opportunity of visiting the restaurant for lunch a few weeks ago, and was blown away by their hospitality, interior design, and, of course, their incredible food. It’s located in the Museum of Fine Arts, and its atmosphere is modern and beautiful. From the first greeting by the hostess, to our friendly server, I was pleased. For lunch, we had the chef’s seasonal menu, Taste of Winter, which was a four course meal for $90. The first course was Burrata, with figs, treviso, pecan gremolata, and fruit compote. The second course was their Eggs on Eggs, which included soft scrambled eggs, royal kaluga caviar, and brioche. The third course, which was my favorite, was filet mignon, with fried eggs, broccoli rabe, and potato mille-feuille. The filet mignon was very tender. Finally, for the fourth course, we had Pear Tart, which included elder flower chantilly, and lemon cream. With the last course, I also had chamomile tea. It was soothing. All in all, I was impressed by my experience there. I will definitely go back there and highly recommend it. I look forward to visiting during dinner, someday."
"Came here for brunch, for a double birthday celebration with 2 of my friends. I didn't want the $90 fare, but the other 2 ladies wanted to try it. We were told, if 1 person orders, everyone at the table must also order. I've never heard such a ridiculous policy. So we ended up ordering a la cart items. I didn't particularly like my food, the fish with lentils (I'm no fan of lentils). The other girls liked their meals. Please make your coffee strong if I'm gonna be charged $7 for it, and bring refills. The menu isn't much. No difference between lunch and brunch, it's all the same. The cheese spread is ok, nothing to wow you about. And definitely nothing from France. I did enjoy the atmosphere and service, too notch. From the receptionist to the waiters, all excellent and courteous at their job."
"The Autumn lunch tasting was fine, we found the flavors of the burrata and mushroom dish to be fairly linear in flavor profile. Trout was nice, dessert was unimaginative. Service was sub-par. Not inattentive, but very odd. She seemed as though she was having a bad day — but a guest being able to pick up on that at a Michelin starred restaurant? Not great. She basically came by a few times and said “how is it?”. We asked about the museum exhibit, she answered “I don’t really like sculptures”. Nobody was smiling, everyone looked very stressed — including the maitre d’, who looked to be about 20. The maitre d’ and our server seemingly had an argument/altercation standing by the side of the bar out in the open. It’s not a good look when I’m more interested in your restaurant drama than the food. It’s the worst experience I’ve had at a starred restaurant. BCN the night prior was at a completely different level."
"We had brunch and the food was excellent. Proper temperature and preparation. We like to eat and if the food is done right especially any cuisine but French is amazing!! Prices match the quality of what you get here. Would come again for dinner sometime in the future."
"I've had remarkable experiences at other Le Jardinier locations, but this one, from a Michelin standpoint, has always felt fairly unimpressionable. The food is good, yet not memorable enough to justify the reputation it aims to uphold. Unfortunately, this most recent visit highlighted service issues as well. Not one, but two portions of wagyu that were specifically requested to be packed to go were never given to us. For a restaurant operating at this price point and caliber, that kind of oversight is disappointing and shouldn't happen (In which the solution was to fetch our food before closing). Overall, while the experience wasn't terrible, it fell short both in execution and attention to detail. Between the lack of distinction in the food and the service lapse, it's hard to feel compelled to return (this was my fourth try)."
