The Scene
Much of the crowd has been loving Jerry's since its 1987 inception, but that doesn't mean they don't still look fabulous. Colorful local artists rub shoulders at the back bar, and couples--even families--eat against a backdrop of art that includes celeb portraits of Mic Jagger and Jerry Garcia. Diner-chic done right includes vintage floor tiles, fire engine-red booths, chrome accents, and distinctive zebra stripes.
The Food
Chef Eric Korsh helms the internationally influenced American menu that manages an octopus salad tossed with a light lemon-parsley dressing as adeptly as crispy calamari. You could order the burger on a savory onion roll--and if you do, upgrade to fries drizzled with white truffle oil--but the charred skirt steak puts many a bistro's to shame. Spaghettini alla turino seems forgettable in this terrain, which brings items more fit for a haute menu--like the braised short ribs, dripping in a thick sweet sauce and sided by creamy polenta.

This place has decent atmosphere and good location but the food was bland and unmemorable. What's worse is that it was very expensive for what it was. I ordered a shrimp avacado salad. What I thought was six tiny shrimps turned out to really be 3 tiny shrimps cut in half sideways, made to look like six. What a joke for $11.00. Our waiter was very friendly but did not ask us once if we needed more drinks. Don't waste your money at this place. There's better places to eat in Soho.

The atmosphere is fabulous. The service impeccible. The portion size - disappointing. I paid $14 for TWO scallops. Yes, 2 scallops. It was an appetizer, but nonetheless, I felt humiliated when the waitress placed the plate in front of me.

I love eating at this place and I am so glad to see the big Jerry's flag is still there as I drive down the street. The service thankfully gets better and better each year. There is always a wait for lunch, but well worth it. Although, I have to admit, I wish the specials were a bit more interesting. Nevertheless, try the burger or calamari salad-delicious!
