What it's like to eat at the $138-a-person restaurant where Trump dined with Mitt Romney
The $138 prix fixe menu begins with a "caviar creation," should you opt to buy one for an additional $45. One of the options is a Meyer lemon gelèe topped with caviar and crème fraîche.
A second option for the caviar course is a toasted egg yolk with caviar and herbs on top.
And the self-explanatory egg caviar is a third option.
For the next course, you can choose from a number of options, including yellowfin tuna ribbons served with avocado, spicy radish, and ginger marinade.
There's also a dish of Nantucket Bay scallops served with cranberry jus and fresh wasabi.
A foie gras brûlée is made with dried sour cherries, candied pistachios, and white port gelée.
Sea urchin is served on top of black bread, jalapeño, and yuzu.
In the next course, diver sea scallops are made with caramelized cauliflower and a caper-raisin emulsion.
And in the third course, a highlight is the black sea bass crusted with nuts and seeds and covered in sweet and sour jus.
On Jean-Georges' menu — a selection of Chef Vongerichten's signature dishes — you'll find a lobster tartine with pea shoots and a lemongrass and fenugreek broth.
On the seasonal late harvest menu, there's a hamachi sashimi dish made with sherry vinaigrette and crystallized pecans.
And on the vegetable-centric tasting menu, options include this gently roasted fennel with goat cheese and black olives.
And, of course, there's always dessert. You can order a selection of tastings — pictured here are the strawberry red wine sorbet, vanilla sponge cake, crunch green tea pate a choux, and Chantilly cream with lemon verbena syrup.
For a more tropical flavor, opt for the young coconut semifreddo, served with fresh fruit, pineapple sorbet, and lemon curd.
Or try the dark chocolate mousse with milk chocolate ganache and passionfruit gelée.
The menu is constantly changing. This dessert, inspired by the culinary team's recent trip to Tokyo, includes Kyoho grapes, sudachi juice, toasted almonds, and Valrhona chocolate.
