had the tuna appetizer, which was the highlight of the meal, the snapper which was delicious, although a touch too salty, and for dessert the passion fruit souffle whose tartness was balanced with the green tea ice cream. ”

The desserts were really good also. ”
- “
That being said, everything we ordered was melt in your mouth delicious - from sushi appetizer, to the fish, to the amazing chocolate dessert, Jean George did not dissapoint. ”

The desserts were excellent as well all though I favored the chocolate cake. ”

It was the only thing I tried as I was not hungy and my date loved his dish - the rabbit. ”

There were both bold and subtle flavors to the dishes, but nothing was overwhelming. ”

Some of the highlights include the poached egg (to die for), rice encrusted tuna, red snapper, lobster, lamb (nice portion size - 3 pieces), fig tart (good size), and poached pear. ”
