Went to J&G Grill at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Hotel Sat night. A jean Georges restaurant that just opened.
I was expecting a really expensive menu and was amazed at how reasonable the prices were.
The scene was definately not a 'South Beach' scene or vibe. A hotel crowd but much older and richer. If you are looking for a young scene, this is not it!
The hotel staff was out in force welcoming you every 10 feet. The lobby was disappointing, then amazing and then disappointing. Too many hallways.
The restaurant was beautiful overlooking the pool and ocean and as expected the staff was a delight.
The veal was great and the chicken was just OK. Many liked the Black Truffle pizza. The lobster was very good but at $42 very small and not a full meal. The desserts were great!
They showed their class as a restaurant when they credited us for one lobster and 1 dessert because it was delivered to the table grilled when it was supposed to be steamed.
Bill was $186/couple incl tip but would have been $215 without the credit.
Valet parking was free for now.
7.5/10
I will go back for lunch and try it again once the outdoors section opens.
