Finally the culinary wasteland that is the Upper East Side gets a great new restaurant! I went there on a date the first week that it opened and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is warm and lively without being noisy so you can easily hold a conversation. The wine list was quite extensive (I had a Sancerre and my date had a Cabernet, both of which were good). Most importantly, the Chicken was divine and perhaps the best I've ever had (we had ours with brussel sprouts and fries), The gnocchi and the salad were both particularly exceptional, and I'd highly recommend having them if you go. My only criticism is that the desserts were nothing special, but apparently they haven't gotten their ice cream machine in yet, so that should be a welcome addition. The price was not cheap, but not out of line for the neighborhood considering the meal we had.
I plan to go back next week to try the duck and fish dishes! -

I'm normally leery of trying a new restaurant so early on, as service kinks can cloud the experience, but Rotisserie Georgette had its ducks (and chickens) in a row on week two.
The restaurant has the right kind of noise -- lively conversations, not pumped in music -- and a focused menu. We ordered the Salade G (big enough for two people to split), the Poule de Luxe and their mashed potato filled baked potato side. The gnocchi looked good on the menu and at the table next to us, but a rule of mine is whenever I can order a mashed potato filled baked potato, well, yes please.
The chicken for two, at $36 a person, definitely delivered. The meat was moist, the skin was deliciously seasoned and the mushroom stuffing was perhaps the best part of the dish. Oh, and there were two pieces of foie gras. Of recent Chickens For Two I've had, I'd rate RG's over Nomad and slightly behind Marc Forgione's.
With a $55 bottle of wine, tip and tax, ended up being $200 for two. Fair price for the experience, and there's no stigma about taking leftovers in a doggie bag, so you can get another meal out of it. -

Working on East 60th Street, I've had the pleasure of trying some great new spots lately including RG, Il Mulino, and Bilbouquet. Rotisserie Georgette is literally in my building (along with Rouge Tomate) so I was hoping this place would be good. It was delicious... ordered the chicken frites entree along with a few duck appetizers and everything was great. The martini and wine list was extensive as well. The decor was warm and inviting... sort of the townhouse feel you get from DB Townhouse restaurant with only windows in the front and a cozy feeling in the back. I highly recommend and will be back. The service was great too- very friendly and not too stuffy. -

Not worth it...in every sense. When considering the chaotic atmosphere combined with incredibly slow speed of service I'm having trouble deciding whether there were too many or too few people on staff. Seeing them incessantly pacing back and forth made me and my fellow diner feel like a school of fish being encircled by a pack of sharks. I couldn't complain too much, though, as I felt bad for them all having to hear the chef scream at them the entire time I was there. The food was ok, albeit incredibly fattening. Unfortunately, it was nowhere near tasty enough to compensate for the atmosphere. -

What a lovely place ! 2 friends and I stopped by at the bar for drinks / appetizers and dessert. We were warmly greeted by Georgette ! The ambiance makes you feel as it you're in France with nice music playing at conversation levels (some Sinatra, 40's, Louis Armstrong), etc. and the decor is beautiful. The wine list is impressive and the choc. dessert was delicious! Our friend had chicken wings spiced in a tasty sauce. Will return for dinner and they are in the process of pulling together a lunch menu. -

Not good. Got sick from the chicken and it is overpriced. Do not recommend it. -

Two of us recently went to Rotisserie Georgette and we were thrilled. We ordered the Consommé, which the waiter recommended, and we loved it. Next came the Salad G which had the perfect blend of endive, frisee, lardon, pear and an amazing blue cheese. For our entree, we split the Chicken for Two which was the show stopper. Crisp and flavorful skin, juicy chicken, stuffed with wild mushrooms and a seared foie gras placed on top. Truly amazing. We have been telling everyone about the chicken, and we will be returning to RG soon to order it again. We are also looking forward to the special potato stuffed with truffles which we missed the first time around. The wait staff was very informed and professional, as one would expect, and the room was elegant and inviting. -

I can't say enough about our dinner opening week at Rotisserie Georgette! I was dining with my son's girlfriend and, I hate to say it, but often a 2 top of women on a Friday night are treated as second class citizens.....not here!!! Our experience was divine. The room is beautiful and warm and the service is refined, but not stuffy in the least. As a matter of fact, our server, Javier , added so much to an already fabulous dinner! We split a salad to start and then had the chicken for 2 with foie gras. I would rank this chicken above both NoMad and Barbuto-both of which I love! Our sides were the roasted potatoes and delicious Brussels sprouts. For wine we had a Quincy-well priced at $53 and was perfect with the food. Georgette came around to each table and was absolutely delightful. Our bill was under $200 with a nice tip, which I consider excellent. One can easily spend the same or much more in NYC-and I have-and not have nearly as wonderful an evening. I wish Ms. Farkas all the best in this new endeavor and will return with my husband very soon! -

Rotisserie Georgette is a terrific restaurant. There are places in town with more refined food, a more dramatic look, a louder buzz, and white-glove service, but there are few restaurants that have it all in the way that Georgette has created at her first place post-Boulud. The color scheme and lighting are comforting with beautiful ceramic-tiled walls, framed mirrors, and a partially open kitchen providing warmth. The tables actually had space between them. Service was informally professional. And the food and wine were great. The menu is relatively short with a few party specials like whole pig, bit it was still hard to choose among many tempting choices. We had delicious octopus and gnocchi as starters with bread as soft inside as it was crusty outside. We shared the special chicken for two with mushroom stuffing and foie gras; it not only stood up to my gold standard for over-the-top chicken (Nomad's, of course), but the bird was big enough to keep two hefty eaters from even peeking at the deserts. Wines, mostly French, were not your typical labels and fairly priced, especially the generous pours of several by the glass at $10-13, but, unfortunately, not including one bottle under $40. At least the night we were there, Georgette was a constant presence in the dining room, obviously looking to please her guests and succeeding very well. -

Ate here with a date Saturday 30 November 2013 after the theater. We saw "Chicago" and it ran late so we didn't get to the restaurant until thirty minutes after our 10pm reservation. A smiling and charming Georgette met us at the door and quickly moved us to a great corner table. From then on the evening was abslutely perfect. The ambience was exactly what an Upper East Side French restaurant it should be, our waiter was wonderful and the service was simply spectacular! I spoke with the sommelier and his recommendation was outstanding. He wasn't the usual "know it all snob" and I felt he genuinely wanted to find something that pleased us. Even brought several different wines to our table for "tastes" to ensure we were happy. Best roast chicken since Paris last summer! I mean it melted in my mouth! The brussel sprouts were so good and the sultanas gave a hint of sweetness that perfectly complemented the cauliflower. My date had the apple tart for dessert, amazing, you won't be disappointed. I had the poached pear and can't wait to have another. Highest recommendation...Food, Service and Presentation. We were the last people in the restaurant and didn't depart until well after midnight, but never felt rushed in the least. Through it all the service was smooth, professional and for a restaurant open only two weeks, amazing! Before we left, Georgette again came to our table and enchanted us. This place is the real deal....can't wait to go back!
