Drinks at both bars are reasonably priced.

Dinner wasn’t outrageous, but my data is from before the pandemic.

I was just there on Saturday. Beers are reasonable for that kind of setting, but prepare to pay $20+ for any cocktail.

Dinner is still pretty pricey. Easily close to $100+ per person if you're getting any apps or side dishes.

The menu at Jean Georges itself (not Skyhigh) is $218 per person, before tax/tip/beverages. I'd call that outrageous.

Last time I was there last year the cocktails were under $20, but super sweet, mos def not worth the price. I don't mind paying $20 for something great here and there, though.

$100 per person with drinks before tip is a price for a proper dinner at a proper place, no? However, I'd say their prices could be inflated due to the location and the "wow" factor.

The JG $218 tasting menu is a rip off by the looks of it. I can think of several places I'd go to before I'd even entertain an idea of having a dinner there. Their bar is great, though (the one you walk downstairs to, atmosphere and drinks selection).
