My first visit for dinner tonight with my friend. Food was super delicious...we had onion soup, escargos, duck meal, lava cake n raw oysters and wine and cocktails! Our server Michael (Mike) was amazing. The GM. Jonathan was outstanding definitely a great leader of men and women...he was checking on every table for the 3 hours we were there. He was serving customers. Pulling the slack with his team! I highly recommend this restaurant to friends, family, everyone.

T. Brasserie at Tin Building by Jean-Georges was great. The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was quick but not rushed. A really fun place to grab lunch or dinner if you're near the Seaport. Highly recommend!
