While eating at Per Se was a once in a lifetime experience, Le Bernardin is my favorite restaurant in NYC. If I go at lunch, I can afford it. The seafood is so fresh and is prepared with such skill. The service is impeccable. more

Beleive the hype. The food it utterly fantastic! If they have the zucchini floweret stuffed with peekytoe crab, then get it. It is one of the most amazing dishes I ever tasted…..it’s just too bad my wife stole most of it from my plate! Our Captain, Julio, was always there when we need him, at times seemingly to materialize out... more

For me, this wasn't a meal, but rather and 'experience'. One as richly rewarding and memorable as a performance, a museum, or a world class sporting event. And because this is of that rarified air of 'upper level' dining, it was all the more amazing, especially when compared to routine adventures in 'eating-out in America'. --amuse was a sea scallop... more

I was very skeptical of the "reinventing fish" claim, but am happy to report that it's true. I've been eating fish my entire life and have never had it so delicately prepared and with such light and flavorful sauces. Top-notch service. Eric Ripert and his staff are a class act all the way. more

Traveled from CA to NYC for BFF's special birthday, and boy did this place deliver. The food, the staff, the room, THE CHEF, all were perfect. Not a value meal in the least, but for the money you spend, it was worth every penny! Seafood at it's most sublime! Definitely a special-occasion place (unless you are independantly wealthy), I can't... more

I was really anticipating our visit but I was underwhelmed. The room looks a little dowdy, maybe it needs a little freshening. The service was prefunctory. The wine steward a bit snotty, but that must come with the job. (The only good wine stewards I have experienced was at Babbo in New York and Berns Steak House in Tampa.) The... more

I flew from Napa to join my daughter, my niece and their loved ones for my 75th birthday recently. My niece and her husband had gone there for an anniversary and were eager to return--a good sign. We all chose the prix fixe menu for $109 and so were able to share the amazing variety of seafood starting, for me,... more

I've dined in quite a number of the top restaurants in NYC. Le Bernardin is absolutely one of the best and will leave your taste buds overflowing with satisfaction. The food is outstanding, thoughtfully prepared and very fresh. The service was outstanding. My picky family was raving thoughout each course of the menu as we were impressed with each dish.... more
