    We ate at Jasper’s on Christmas Eve. Everything thing was to perfection. From the minute you enter the atmosphere is so beautiful and well decorated. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious. We did not feel rushed and our waitress was very helpful. Thank you Yolanda

    I don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!

    This was a fun & greatly priced experience to share with your loved ones. Anthony, our instructor, was friendly and very personable and the food was delicious. A good bang for your buck! Will come again for the food alone.

    We all enjoyed our food and our wine and the long time we were allowed to sit and talk after dessert. Two of us had the daily ravioli pasta special, two had the prix fixe meal (with the tiramisu for dessert - yum), and one had the salmon. Our server was very patient, putting up with all our questions and with how long it took us to order because we were catching up on a few years of history in our lives. A plus is the location - easy to get to via subways from the east and west est side of the city, not far from Union Square, Madison Square Park and Gramercy Park.
