I've only eaten here once, but it was fantastic. As you might suspect, this is one of those places where you're going to pay quite a bit, and you're going to do it specifically to be somewhat outside your usual comfort zone. Portions are small but not unreasonably so. Flavors are going to be complex and rather experimental, even unconventional, so only come here when you're in a mindset for being adventurous in eating. That will ensure you have a positive experience and get the most out of your adventure. During my meal with friends I learned that I can absolutely love rhubarb and sweetbreads, two things I've not liked before. But this place turned them into new magic. The halibut and wagyu beef were to die for, but not in any way that I have ever tasted before. I wasn't a huge fan of a bone marrow appetizer (although friends loved it), so the servers gave us a complimentary round of champagne. Pretty fair, if you ask me. Speaking of drinks, the bartenders have as many tasty and unique tricks as the chefs do. Order a gin gimlet even if you don't usually like them. I was hooked. Remember, adventure and new flavor experiences are the reason for coming here, not just to have food made from the best ingredients. Decor is romantic and sort of mid century mod, spacing is cozy but not tight, and the atmosphere is vibrant, perhaps even a little loud. I will definitely be coming back for more new flavors.

What an amazing delicious experience we had last night ? ? it was perfect. I'll definitely be coming back. The food was delightful, and the service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and it was no stuffy and uncomfortable like other Michelin rated restaurants. I'd say that compared to Madison is similar quality and taste, but you get fewer courses, which is reflected on the price. Overall, I say I probably prefer this experience at jeune et jolie as all around it was very enjoyable.

We went here for our 26th anniversary. It was a nice treat. It was a 4 course meal served over the space of about 2 hours, and the pacing felt exactly right. The waitstaff were extremely friendly and attentive. I ordered the "sans esprit" pairing to go along with my meal, which consisted of non-alcoholic wines and mocktails. I appreciated this inclusiveness. We sat on the heated patio which was quite comfortable despite the chilly evening. Highly recommend.

Bravo! This is as good as it gets for fine dining around here, and it stacks up well to places around the world too. The tasting menu is delicacy after delicacy, every time. The staff are very attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. Gavin and Rob took great care of us as well as the sommelier, Brenden, made an excellent recommendation for a Bordeaux blend. Colin, behind the bar, was a legend and kept our glasses full with a smile. Nate and Jacob, weren’t our servers, but they were super sweet! All around excellenton food, staff and ambiance!

I am not sure how this place is so popular! It was 4 of us total, 3 drinks each, with a few appetizers from the raw menu and it came out to be $1200. Not including tip. We left hungry. The flavors were actually not that great, my carajillo was 6/10. The experience was so underwhelming.

Amazing place to go for a nice night out! Expect to pay at least $240 if you have two people coming and decide to do the 4 course menu, it's worth every penny though! Thr atmosphere is amazing. The food is fantastic and the waitresses were very attentive.
Everything was exceptional, every course was delicious. Even the vegetarian options felt thoughtful and just as good, if not better than the protein based options. my partner really felt happy being able to experience that since restaurants don't always respect that. I also loved the non alcoholic pairings for myself. Ive never experienced a flight like that and every drink was impeccably created and intentional for the flavors of each course. The food itself was outstanding, not a single micro green out of place. i was lucky enough to be able to go on a slower day, the atmosphere was peaceful, the kitchen and staff looked happy, the service was perfectly executed. our server Rob has a relaxing and genuine demeanor yet was very attentive. It was the best dining experience we both have ever had.
