It was very good but maybe because there was so much hype about it that it actually disappointed me a bit. Still, my marinated hamachi vietnamese style and my wild striped bass-langoustine with bouillabaisse consomme and curry emulsion were delicious, finely-crafted and pleasing to the palate. more

Coming from Denmark, I noticed this restaurant on the programme Top Chef. I am not realy into fish, but the dishes they served in Top Chef looked very very nice so we had to go there. I am so happy we did. From now on I love fish - if made properly. Also, the service was so good and the... more

One of the best meals of my life. Risky, exquisite, great service, great wine list and better sommeliers. And Michale Laiskois desserts simply are the best in town. more

Have eaten twice at Le Bernardin since the beginning of the year, after a six year hiatus. This is undoubtedly the best seafood restaurant in NYC, and the kitchen in very, very consistent. Excellent sommeliers know their way around the very good wine list. I defy you to find better French Seafood outside of Paris. more

I had lunch at Le Bernardin on April 29th, 2009 and it was a memorable dining experience. We opted for the three course prix-fixe at $ 68,- and had a few tastes of wine. The quality and the preparation of the fish-dishes were absolutely outstanding (world-class), rather on the classic side but with quite a bit of Japanese influence. The... more

Stepping in to Le Bernardin, you feel the rush of any acclaimed restaurant through your body. They care of any little detail. The tuna is a must taste experience and taking the wine pairing with their tasting menu is highly advisable. An exceptional service and atmosphere that are worth their value. more

My wife and I are big (media) fans of Eric Ripert, and were aware of his reputation for top notch quality. We decided to book a table for lunch, and when we arrived we were immediately seated at a great table and felt appreciated -- as if we were VIP's -- right away. The place was extremely quiet, with an... more
