Nestled in a charming townhouse, JoJo serves up an elegant seasonal French menu by Jean-Georges Vongerichten in a cozy, inviting atmosphere perfect for any occasion.
"For a classic Portland wedding, some jojos are essential. Luckily Jojo offers catering for weddings, including its signature jojos which are available loaded with cheddar, a house spice blend, or even vegan cheddar. In addition to the jojos, the cart also offers a fried chicken sandwich, a fried tofu sandwich, and more. Inquire about catering through the contact form on Jojo’s site." - Rebecca Roland, Danielle Centoni, Nathan Williams
"JoJo used to be a formal Jean-Georges French restaurant before getting a makeover and reopening as a more modern, two-story spot in a townhouse on 64th Street (still run by the same team). The menu leans heavily on seasonal produce and classic farm-to-table combinations, like chicory and apple salad, seed-crusted sea bass, and our favorite roast chicken on the UES. Come here for a date or when you’re looking for a slightly cool uptown spot." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
"The 90s are back and so is JoJo—famed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s first New York restaurant." - MICHELIN Guide
"Open since 1991, JoJo from Jean-Georges Vongerichten offers casual French dining in a bright, serene townhouse, with a menu of over-the-years classics from its classics menu (example is the salmon sushi with chipotle mayonnaise, or the roasted chicken with olives and saffron and a side of chickpea fries) and its updated menu of meat, fish, and vegetables. Yes, there is a $28 cheeseburger with Russian dressing, onions, and yuzu pickles." - Eater Staff
"The 90s are back and so is JoJo—famed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s first New York restaurant. Like the very best face-lift, this transformation has rid the space of its former fuddy-duddy feel and replaced it with a fresh, contemporary backdrop that beckons moneyed residents. Good taste never goes out of style and diners hoping for a little culinary nostalgia will be rewarded here. The menu isn’t groundbreaking (think: roast chicken and Maine lobster) but it is very well executed. The kitchen’s daily menu invites patrons to enjoy a different classic nightly, though some dishes including the Peekytoe crab dumplings, are always on offer. Just one bite of the luxurious molten chocolate cake and memories of Y2K will come flooding back all the way." - Michelin Inspector
