What People Are Saying About Jane

Citysearch
Larger-than-life prints of hillside grasses on the walls lend the space a clean, stylish air--think a Williams-Sonoma in full spring flower. In warmer months, a sidewalk cafe out front invites diners to watch the Soho traffic--both human and automotive--flit by. The New American menu is as much about comfort as it is creativity. Appetizers like toasted ricotta gnocchi in white truffle cream, or the tangy, crispy sesame calamari are a perfect way to start. Entrees may seem to play it safe, but nearly all are perfectly executed--from the grilled pork tenderloin, to the pan roasted cod, to the Jane burger. Save room for dessert: Classics like strawberry shortcake and milk and cookies may be simple, but they're also simply delicious.

I had Thanksgiving there. Seven of us. No gravy, dressing was a bed of brussels sprouts and what tasted like canned turkey over the top. Absolute horrible combination or concoction. No cranberry sauce, and dry dead tasting corn bread before the dinner with no butter and it was cold to complete this mess. Desert was something strange but no pumpkin pie. I might as well have been eating on another planet it was so alien. The Wine was a Napa one and was horrible to boot. Priceless amount of $750.00. Most horrible experience dinning of a life time...and am being kind.

We couldn't get a reservation so we put out names down for Brunch and waited ONE HOUR at the bar. We kept checking with the hostess and finally she says "Oh..we called your name already." Shocked, I had been standing at the bar ONE FOOT from her for an hour, they quickly seated us right near the kitchen WHERE WE PROCEEDED TO GET BANGED IN OUR BACKS by waiters and guests. We hastily ordered. Waiter was nice, food very good. Hosts IDIOTS.

I always find citysearch reviews to be helpful so I thought I'd give my two cents. We made a reservation for a party of 8 for my birthday on Saturday night. We were seated promptly at a great table. Our server was fun and friendly. He and the bartender turned out to be the best part of the night. The food, everything from the bread to the main course, was decidedly bland. I ordered the organic roasted chicken with mashed potatoes. The chicken I make at home has more flavor. The potatoes were clearly from a box and has the consistency of pudding. I couldn't get enough salt. My boyfriend got the burger and fries. It was a hunk of tasteless meat on bread. I did get a massive piece of chocolate cake to share with the table that was very good, and they brought it out with a festive candle and sang. After dinner we moved to the bar and the bartender was an anomaly: attractive, welcoming and cordial. That's a difficult combination to find in trendier places. He accidentally made a mistake on our bill and comped my friend's drink to make amends. Overall it was a great experience, but go for the atmosphere and service, not for amazing food.
