Jean-Claude was highly recommended to us, and we went this past Saturday night. We were initially a bit uncertain b/c the menu did not really describe the offerings, but we trusted the person who referred us, and boy were we HAPPY!!! The ambiance is rustic French bistro--sexy in an unpretentious way--and the servers, host were fantastic and accommodating. We started with a generous carafe of Sancerre wine--fantastic bargain at $21, and ordered a squid appetizer. This was unreal--generous portion of squid in a "lick your plate clean" sauce reminiscent of India with a hint of curry. This came with lightly dressed mesclun greens and we sopped up every last bit with the delicious crusty bread. By the way, the bread is served with decadent butter--the real stuff! Then we ordered the hanger steak and moules frites. Words cannot do these entrees justice--this was food that dreams are made of--it is Wednesday, and I am still licking my lips thinking of this meal. Just go, order what you want, and let the chef do the magic! Bring cash--but we spent under $100 including tip for the best meal we have had in a long time. Reminds me of Basso Est on Orchard (now Basso 56 uptown)--also fantastic with Italian food and the ever wonderful owner, Alex.

My husband just happened to spot Jean Claude while searching for a place to celebrate my birthday. It was during a major thunderstorm but we could not have been more pleased if we had planned on it. We had just returned from a two week trip to France so we kept our expectations low but we pleasantly surprised at the flavor and quality of the food. This is a quaint restaurant with a friendly attentive staff (Solange from Marseilles- the manager? was great) and the menu prices are a bargain. My husband had the sweetbreads and said they were the best he has ever had - he also had the duck breast - a huge, tender portion over bok choy. I had the lamb loin with couscous and it too was flavorful and tender. The tart tartin was a perfect way to end a very lovely meal. We live in Jersey City and will visit Jean Claude again and again!
