The wife and I was in NYC last weekend, and had the fortunate experience of dining at Jean Georges on Monday(President's Day). I was debating between Per Se or Jean Georges;couldn't get reservation last minute to EMP; and I think we made the right decision on Jean Georges.

We both had the Black Winter Truffle dinner, and added a caviar course to the meal. Each of the courses were excellently executed, and they were definitely generous with the truffles.
My wife doesn't drink, so I went with the wine pairings at $180. The pours were very generous, most were full pours, not the usual tastings. I 'liked' the wines poured, but forewarned, most of the wines(7 out of 8) were white and a champagne. Next time, I'll probably skip the wine pairings, and just order a bottle off the list.

Here is the items on the menu:

Toasted Foie Gras On Brioche with Black Truffle Marmalade
Scallop and Winter Truffle Tartare with Toasted Sourdough
Extra Caviar Egg
Mazzarella Ravioli with Truffle Fondue
Truffle Crusted wild king salmon
Baked Maine Lobster with Black Truffle butter and potatoes maxim
Parmesan Crusted Organic Chicken with Black perigord Truffle
Pear with Chocolate and Truffle ice cream 'belle helene'

I hope the pictures I attached comes out ok.

All in all, a 2.5 hour culinary journey. The truffle tasting was $388, plus $45 supplement for caviar and $188 for wine pairings, and the bill was into the 4 digits for the both of us.
