The food was very good, so many plants that are all real! I ordered the bronzino! The ingredients are clean and on the healthy side. The ambiance was dimly lit. Solid dinner and cocktail spot. The price point is steep but it's midtown so to be expected.
Delicious! A nice menu of options. Good vegan choices. Many vegetarian. Okay service -- what you'd expect for a hotel restaurant. Breakfast/lunch menu must less interesting.
This place is a must visit! The ambiance is trendy, warm and inviting. The service is friendly and attentive. And the food is so fresh, flavorful and unique! They have something to offer for everyone!
Brunch is definitely summer weather vibes, but seems like we still have a lot of time left! Till then, we can sit in Jams and feel like we are in California by the beach with all these nature decorations to help us cope. I got the lobster Benedict and it was small in size. I definitely ate it in four bites but the hollandaise sauce was done well, with the poached eggs. I love how the lobster wasn't fishy at all and cooked to perfection. My friends got the fried chicken sandwich, everything bagel with smoked salmon and a yogurt bowl
Love this restaurant for a post Central Park walk because it keeps you in the greenery vibes. Food comes out quickly and drinks are great! Even has a small mocktail menu, recommend the green drink. Pro Tip! Don't be worries if you don't have a res, just pop in and you can probably sit at the bar
Jams at 1 Hotel has all the makings of a great brunch spot--beautiful ambiance, a cozy setting, and a menu that feels promising. However, for a higher-end hotel, the food itself is pretty average. That said, their menu is quite unique - we opted for the vegan peanut butter oatmeal, botanical breakfast and side of chicken sausage. Truly, their peanut butter chocolate oatmeal is absolutely TO DIE FOR--rich, comforting, and worth a return visit just for that alone. Everything else was decent but nothing particularly standout. Since table space in NYC is quite limited, we opted to sit at the bar, which ended up being a great choice. The bar has a beautiful counter, and the plus side is that you can order food there as well--a nice perk if you prefer a more relaxed experience. Service-wise, our experience was mixed. The host was not friendly or accommodating, coming across as standoffish and uninterested. Fortunately, our server was fantastic--attentive, fast, and kind, which made a huge difference. On a super cold east coast morning, stepping into a warm, inviting space for a cozy brunch was exactly what I needed to fuel up for the workday. While the food overall doesn't necessarily match the upscale setting, the oatmeal alone is enough for me to return.
We were celebrating our friend's engagement at Jams and let me tell ya it was amazing. We had such a great time, from the drinks to the food to the music to the ambiance and the service was all top tier. We started off at the bar and ordered a few seasonal cocktails. I had a drink that tasted like an old fashioned but with pumpkin, yummm. I don't normally like pumpkin flavor things but this was good! The chocolate expresso was also really good and the autumn harvest was a smooth sipping pleasure. Direct quote, "the Sakura Martini deserves many praises." We started off with a few appetizers, the Autumn Flatbread, Maplebrook Burrata, Pan Seared Local Scallops and this amazing Whipped Ricotta Dip. I asked for the scallops to be a lil' crispier and they were literally delicious. So soft in the middle with a light crunch along the edges. We went with a family style approach and ordered for the table so we could share everything. Starting with the Halibut Florentine, so good. Really flavorful and I enjoyed the Hazelnut Gremolata it was sitting on top of. The Gnocchi was certainly filling and the pesto sauce was super fresh. The short rib risotto was banging! Oh my goodness, it was delicious, probably my favorite. I can't forget to mention the Brussels sprouts, we had to order it twice with the hopes of saving some for the next day. I don't know what we were thinking because we devoured both plates, no leftovers! If you weren't already convinced, just try it and you'll thank me later. P.S. Thank you to Egypt for the recommendations, we loved them all.
Picture yourself surrounded by a symphony of vibrant greenery, enveloped in an upscale bar in the heart of Midtown. A bar where your greeted by a bright and airy space adorned with natural elements like wood, stone, and living plants, MANY MANY living plants, WOW! The menu reflects a commitment to fresh, wholesome ingredients and a strong catering to vegetarians. But more importantly, even in a jungle within the beautiful concrete jungle of NYC you can still find a good Old Fashioned. Cheers!!
