The Scene
Jean Joho's plush, classically French restaurant Everest positively oozes the good life, from the polished gold railings to the abstract bronze centerpieces on each table. The carpeted room features high draped ceilings, mirrored walls and a breathtaking vista of the city. Friendly, tuxedo-clad waiters provide unobtrusive service to a conservative, moneyed crowd.
The Food
One of the world's most honored chefs, Jean Joho prepares traditional French cuisine that's haute and hearty. The degustation menu delivers a sumptuous, seven-course tour of the chef's breathtaking skills--from buttery, sinful roasted lobster to flaky sea bass on celery root. The a la carte menu offers several Everest signature dishes; among these, creamy carnaroli risotto (topped with 24-karat gold leaf) and tender poached tenderloin of beef are not to be missed. For dessert, the fabulous "fantasy of chocolate" lives up to its name, with five different creations nestled together on one amazing plate.

The service was below average. I live in Chicago and I was looking forward to a mind-blowing culinary experience, but it just didn't deliver. The food was over-priced for the service and dining experience.

Everest is wonderful in every way. Come here for a special occasion and you won't be disappointed. Everything from the atmosphere to the view (and of course the food) is exceptional, and the service is exactly what it should be at a restaurant of this caliber--exceptionally helpful but not pushy in any way. An amazing experience!

Where To Sit:
Ask for a table near the windows (the view of the city is lovely); just keep in mind that management can't guarantee you'll get one.
What To Drink:
One of the largest wine lists outside France, with more than 1,400 bottles ranging in price from less than $100 to more than $3,000.
Save Money:
At $49 per person, the pre-theater three-course menu (served only at 5:30pm) is the restaurant's best bargain.
