Disappointing. Been here before and wanted to take my family to experience the beautiful atmosphere. Ordered the lobster sandwich and it was mediocre at best, poorly seasoned and stale bun. Severely over priced. The serve was adequate and the music was nice.

Jardin Nelson was buzzing with energy on a weeknight, and we were fortunate enough to snag a table in the beautiful garden, where we enjoyed live jazz music alongside our meal.
We started with the baby ribs glazed with Jack Daniel's and maple syrup, and they were absolutely delicious--fall-off-the-bone tender! A must-try for anyone. For our entrees, we opted for the pâté chinois au canard, which is akin to shepherd's pie but filled with succulent shredded duck, corn, and creamy mashed potatoes. It was simply delightful. The lasagna au gratin was also impressive, featuring layers of eggplant, tomato sauce, spinach, and peppers baked to perfection.

Jardin Nelson is an absolute gem, especially if you’re a jazz lover! The atmosphere is unbeatable, with live jazz performances that truly set the mood for a memorable evening. The courtyard is beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that's perfect for relaxing with friends or a date.
The food is just as fantastic as the music. I highly recommend the *pudding chômeur* – it’s hands down one of the best I’ve had, rich and comforting. Pairing that dessert with the live jazz made for an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re there for the music, the food, or both, Jardin Nelson delivers on all fronts. Can’t wait to go back!
They do look in a hurry to have you order.. But it was lovely!!

Disappointment at Jardin Nelson. The atmosphere is magical and the service warm, but the quality of the food and drinks is frankly mediocre. My arctic char with gratin dauphinois was bland and my husband's duck confit crepe tasted like a chemical orange syrup, almost sickening. The cocktails aren't worth the detour either. For the price, the endless wait and the paid parking, we expected cuisine with a minimum of flavor. Pass for the ambiance, but don't expect a good dining experience.
Very nice place with disastrous food and services. Never ever coming back

Disappointing, expected much better. Server fell far below even average. It felt like we were imposing upon her. Didn't care for that. The chowder was quite good and very tasty. We ordered what she called an American ice tea but it really tasted like a sweet and sour mixer - unlike any ice tea we've ever encountered. The Jazz band was good, but the service was very poor.
