They made a gravy error.
One of the city’s chicest restaurants bizarrely decided to nickel and dime a New York media exec — over Christmas dinner, of all things — after accidentally advertising the wrong price for a Yuletide feast.
And now the dumbstruck diner is left with a taste more bitter than a bad Brussel sprout — and his family are stuck without a booking for the big day.
Cranberry sources say the biz boss booked a table for four at Jean Georges after noticing that the haute haunt had (presumably in the spirit of peace and goodwill to all men) knocked down the price of its tasting menu on the 25th.
We’re told that back in November, the 27-year-old Columbus Circle restaurant’s website said its six-course prix fixe — which usually costs $298 — would be $258 on Christmas Day, or its ten-course option would be $318, rather than $398. Not exactly a blue plate special, but a nice touch.
