Trump, Romney dine at three-star Michelin restaurant. December. 02, 2016 07:13. by Seung-Heon Lee ddr@donga.com. A high-end restaurant is at the center of public attention after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump dined with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney on Tuesday.

The restaurant is Jean-Georges located in the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan, New York. Led by the acclaimed French chef Jean-Georges, it is one of famous restaurants in New York City, which has so many high-end restaurants. It is one of five three-star Michelin restaurants in Manhattan.

Trump and Romney had a luxurious dinner with the president-elect’s chief of staff, Reince Priebus. They enjoyed young garlic soups with thyme, sautéed frog legs, and diver scallops with cauliflower. Trump and Priebus had prime sirloin with carrots, and Romney had lamb chops with a mushroom sauce. They had chocolate cake for dessert.

While the specific price tag is not known, the basic dinner course starts from 218 dollars per person. As Trump paid for one of the signature courses, the actual price is likely to have exceeded it. “If it was New Year's Eve, they could have spent $888 per head on a tasting menu,” CNN said. Trump has often visited the restaurant with Melania, his wife, and Ivanka, his first daughter.
