JoJo

This week and last week are NYC's restaurant weeks - you can get a great food with 'reasonable' price. I don't really like this kind of event since as far as I experienced, no restaurant actually serves 'expensive' food in cheap price. Most of restaurants prepare a special menu for restuarant week event, and this is usually not on their regular menu. Even if you go to really good restaurant since you want to take an advantage of restaurant week, you might not get a really good food. This event is actually not good for 'customers', but for 'sellers'... =(
Anyway I went to JoJo with Jaehyun to enjoy this event. (actually we were just looking for an excuse to go to a good place~) FYI, JoJo is one of Jean-George's restaurant in Manhattan, and it's french. Since I really like french foods, I expected a lot before I got there, but the truth was kind of disapppointed...
As usual, JoJo also had a restaurant week special menu, and we got that menu. That was 3-course prix menu and for each of appetizer, entree, and dessert, they had 2 different menus, so we ordered everything.

First impression - bread and butter - was actually great. The bread was warm and pretty tasty, and the butter was little bit oily and really smooth. Appetizer was cheese ravioli and crab cake(?), and both of them was ok. My entree was somewhat disappointing, cause I expected somewhat big dish, but it was really small. Mine was hanger steak, and there were only 4 pieces of meats. Jaehyun got salmon for entree, and that was much better than mine. Both of them had a great taste, though. Dessert was good enough to be considered one of the best dessert I've ever had. Mine was a chocolate brownie thing, and I think this one is like the signature dessert of Jean-George's restaurants. The brownie has really rich warm chocolate inside of the bread, and it is also served with hazelnut ice cream. Embakum you should love this one... should try this one sometime... =) Jaehyun's was kind of lemon tart which is served with marsh-mellow bowl with whipcream underneath the bowl, but since I don't really like sour taste, for me that one was not a good dessert.

As a whole, I can give 3.5 out of 5 for JoJo. If they served enough amount of entree, I would give some more.
