Jean-Georges NYC Reservations: SevenRooms, Resy, Dress Code

Jean-Georges is Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s flagship, on the lobby level of the Trump International Hotel and Tower at 1 Central Park West, where the park meets Columbus Circle. It opened in 1997, and the restaurant’s own site cites four stars from The New York Times and two Michelin stars; the Michelin Guide’s current listing also shows two. Dinner is tasting menus only, $238 to $478 a person as of November 2026, and lunch is a $128 three-course menu. Nougatine, the casual room beside it, shares the address but has its own reservations. Check which Jean-Georges you are looking at before you book: a Google search for “jean georges reservations” returns the Jean-Georges in Philadelphia’s Four Seasons almost as often as this one, and the chef’s name is on restaurants from the Hamptons to Tokyo. This guide is about the Central Park West dining room as of November 2026: where it books, how far ahead, what the request button means, lunch versus dinner, the dress code and Nougatine.

Is Jean-Georges on Resy, OpenTable or SevenRooms?

All three, plus the phone at 212-299-3900. The Hours & Contact page on jean-georgesrestaurant.com has a reservation form that asks for the restaurant (Jean-Georges, Nougatine or the Terrace), the date, a time and a party of one to ten, lists Resy, OpenTable and SevenRooms as choices, and submits to Jean-Georges’ SevenRooms page. Resy has a Jean-Georges venue page too, and Resy’s own guide to splurge dinners in New York, updated November 3, 2026, links to it. OpenTable has a listing as well, and it is where the Michelin Guide’s booking button sends you.

The trackers each caught one piece of this. itsadate, last verified July 12, 2026, says to start with SevenRooms and that “Resy is active too.” ReservationFinder, checked October 9, 2026, lists Resy. The line tracker damnlines says “Reservations via OpenTable.” Of the three platforms I could read only SevenRooms’ live calendar; the Resy and OpenTable pages did not load for me, so the windows and times below come from SevenRooms. I could not confirm that the three show the same tables, so if one has nothing for your date, check the other two before giving up. How the platforms differ in general is in Resy vs SevenRooms vs OpenTable release times.

When do Jean-Georges reservations open?

The restaurant’s website does not say. itsadate reports that “The restaurant says reservations can be made one month in advance,” without saying where. The SevenRooms calendar runs much further. At about 6:20am Eastern on Saturday, November 7, 2026, it would book a table for two on Wednesday, February 3 and Thursday, February 4, 2027, at 5:15pm and 9:30pm. Friday, February 5 had no bookable time at all, and nor did February 6, 9 or 10, or March 3: every time on those dates came back as a request. The Friday before, January 29, still had both times open, so February 5 was past the edge rather than sold out. February 4 is 89 days after November 7, a 90-day window if you count today, about three times what itsadate reports. I trust the live calendar over a July note for SevenRooms, but I could not test whether Resy or OpenTable use a shorter window.

Neither SevenRooms nor the restaurant publishes the hour a new date appears. February 5 was still request-only when I looked again at 6:31am, so the next date had not opened by then. That leaves two readings: an 89-day window that turns over during the night, or a 90-day window that opens later in the morning. You can settle it in one day. The evening before a date is due, note the last date that offers a 5:15pm or 9:30pm table, look again just after midnight and, if nothing has changed, keep checking through the morning. The hour you find should hold for later dates too.

A worked example. For dinner on Thursday, February 11, 2027, count back 89 days and you land on Saturday, November 14, 2026; if the window turns out to be 90 days opening in the morning, the date appears a day earlier, on Friday, November 13. Look on the Friday and again early on the Saturday. If you were hoping for Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2027 is a Sunday, and Jean-Georges’ posted hours are Tuesday to Saturday, so unless the restaurant announces a special opening the night to aim at is Saturday, February 13, which on the same counts reaches SevenRooms on Sunday, November 15 or Monday, November 16. Then read the next section before you count on a Saturday at all.

What SevenRooms shows, and what “request” means

Jean-Georges’ SevenRooms calendar is mostly requests. For two people, dinner is listed every 15 minutes from 4:45pm to 9:30pm, and on the weekday dates that had anything bookable (November 11, December 2, January 6, January 29, February 3 and February 4) the only times you could book outright were 5:15pm and 9:30pm. December 30 had only 9:30pm. November 10, 13 and 18 had none. The three Saturdays I checked, December 12, January 9 and January 30, had no bookable dinner time, lunch was request-only on November 20, January 7 and February 4, and a party of six on January 6 got nothing but requests. Sunday and Monday return no seatings at all.

A request is not a reservation. You send the date, time and party size, and you have nothing until the restaurant confirms. SevenRooms’ settings for the venue take parties of two to eight online, which matches itsadate’s note that “Standard SevenRooms bookings cover parties of two to eight and include a request option,” while the restaurant’s own form goes up to ten. The bookings themselves are long: SevenRooms sets each dinner slot at 180 minutes, and itsadate says Resy publishes a three-hour table and a 15-minute grace period for late arrivals. Plan on a long evening and arrive on time. More on how the platform behaves is in how SevenRooms works, and the same request pattern past the edge of the calendar shows up around the corner at Marea on Central Park South.

Lunch versus dinner, and what it costs

Both run Tuesday to Saturday, per the restaurant’s site: lunch from 12pm to 2pm, with SevenRooms listing seatings from noon to 1pm, and dinner from 4:45pm to 9:30pm. The prices below are as posted on jean-georgesrestaurant.com in November 2026, and the menus list no wine pairing or service charge.

Dinner is tasting menus only: the Six Course Vegetarian at $238, the Six Course Omnivore at $298, the Ten Course Omnivore at $398, and “1997 Classics” at $478, a menu of dishes from the restaurant’s first years, including egg caviar, young garlic soup and warm chocolate cake. The Michelin Guide describes the choice the same way: guests “select from evolving seasonal menus or revisit classics from early days.” The current six-course omnivore menu takes in caviar with vidalia onion buttermilk, amberjack with calvados gelée and a Wagyu strip loin with glazed eggplant before a sugar pumpkin dessert.

Lunch is the cheaper way into the same room. The main lunch menu is Three Course at $128: an amuse-bouche, three savory courses chosen from a short list, then cheese or dessert. A six-course lunch is $298. The lunch menu posted alongside the fall dinner menu still read like summer (heirloom tomato, stone fruit), so expect it to change. At $170 less a person than the six-course dinner, lunch is the obvious first visit, but every lunch date I checked on SevenRooms was request-only, so look at Resy and OpenTable for a lunch table you can take at once.

What is the Jean-Georges dress code?

In the restaurant’s words: “Gentlemen are encouraged to wear a jacket. No jeans, sweatshirts or sneakers allowed. Ties are not required. Children above 10 years old are welcome.” Not every source is as gentle. The Trump International hotel’s page for the restaurant says “Gentlemen are required to wear a jacket,” and itsadate puts it as “Jackets are suggested, while T-shirts, shorts, sporting clothes, and casual wear are declined.” The practical reading: wear the jacket, skip the tie if you like, and leave the jeans at home, dark ones included, because the rule names jeans without exception. The line about children is a minimum age in practice; itsadate reads it as “Guests must be at least 10.”

Nougatine is looser. Its posted code is “We enforce a business casual dress code, no ripped jeans, flip flops or slippers,” so clean jeans that pass next door would not pass in the main dining room.

Nougatine, and the other Jean-Georges rooms

The restaurant calls Nougatine “the more casual sister of Jean-Georges, with a very lively bar scene at night,” serving the chef’s signature and seasonal dishes “for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 365 days a year.” Its hours are breakfast from 7am to 10:15am on weekdays and 8am to 10:15am on weekends, lunch from 12pm to 2:30pm and dinner from 5pm to 10:15pm. It has its own Resy and OpenTable listings, and the outdoor Terrace has a separate Resy page. A Nougatine table is a different room with a more casual menu, not a back door into the tasting menu, but it is the easy way to eat this kitchen’s food on a Sunday or Monday, when Jean-Georges is closed. Neither room’s page publishes a walk-in policy (itsadate found none for Jean-Georges either), and the lively bar the restaurant describes belongs to Nougatine, not the tasting room.

One more name to keep apart. Eater reported on November 2, 2026 that Vongerichten is bringing two restaurants to 70 Hudson Yards, an office tower under construction at Hudson Boulevard East and West 35th Street: a 50-seat lobby restaurant and ABC to Go, with the tower’s developers aiming at 2028. Neither changes anything at Central Park West. For another long-running Michelin room with a very different booking problem, see Le Bernardin reservations.

Cancellations, cards and groups

Neither the website nor the SevenRooms calendar states a cancellation fee, and itsadate found in July that “A standard SevenRooms checkout reached Submit without a card or payment field.” That can change for holidays and large parties, so read the terms on the confirmation screen before you commit. For groups beyond what the form will take, the restaurant says “Jean-Georges, Nougatine and The Terrace are available for large groups and private functions for any occasion,” with inquiries to events@jean-georges.com or 212-299-3900.

Watching Jean-Georges on SevenRooms, Resy and OpenTable

The tables worth having at Jean-Georges appear at two moments: when a new date reaches the far edge of the calendar, about 89 days out on SevenRooms, and whenever someone gives one back. SeatSwiper watches Resy, SevenRooms and OpenTable, and Jean-Georges is listed on all three. Give it the date, party size and the times you would take, set it once and walk away, and it books the table the moment one opens or someone cancels. It books on your own account, in your name, for your own dinner, and nothing is resold or transferred. It can’t get your account banned, because it books one table on your own account and checks every few minutes, never nonstop. The first booking is free. After that it is a flat $5, charged only when it actually books the table, with no subscription. A cancellation watch on a date that is already full costs $1 to start, charged when the watch begins even if no table ever opens; that $1 is not covered by the free first booking and is not refunded, and the same $5 applies if the watch wins you the table. The honest limits: it only works on those three platforms, it needs your reservation login to book in your name, it can lose a race for a single table, and it cannot send the restaurant a request, call for you or arrange a private event.
