  “Who doesn't love Eric Ripert!? I have gone twice to Le Bernardin as a big fan of this michelin star chef and of this 3 michelin star restaurant. On food network and in his cookbooks he has always seemed to be an expert but also a down to …”

  “Dining at Le Bernardin was such a pleasant experience—from the moment you check your coat to the moment you leave the restaurant. The ambiance is lovely: elegant and simple, yet completely at ease. Many of the patrons felt like locals, giving it a more understated, less touristy atmosphere where no one is rushing to take out their camera. The chef, Eric Ripert, is originally from Antibes in the French Riviera and has been at the restaurant since the early ’90s. We opted for the classic tasting menu, an eight-course experience centered mostly around seafood. Each dish was beautifully balanced in both flavor and texture. My favorite dishes were the thinly pounded tuna with foie gras, a signature that is both delicate and indulgent; the barely cooked scallop with brown butter and yuzu, which had incredible depth while still feeling light; the poached lobster with truffle and chanterelles, rich yet perfectly restrained; and the crisp-skinned black bass, which was flawlessly executed and deeply satisfying. Overall, the experience feels refined, elegant, and like a true expression of understated luxury”

  “This restaurant had been on our radar for some time. We promised ourselves that we had to go there the next time we were in NYC. The interior of Le Bernardin is beautifully designed. All the dishes we tried were excellent, but the …”

  “Had an incredible lunch at Le Bernardin today. The precision in their cooking is simply unmatched. The starters were flawless—the Tuna Carpaccio was delicate yet flavorful, and the Scallop with Uni was a highlight, perfectly capturing the essence of the ocean. What really blew me away were the mains. Both the Halibut and the Dover Sole were cooked with mind-blowing precision. The texture was exactly what you hope for at this level: incredibly tender and succulent, yet it retained a perfect, firm springiness without being the least bit mushy. It’s rare to find fish that feels this plump and bouncy while remaining so delicate. World-class technique, impeccable service, and a meal I’ll be thinking about for a long time. A true 5-star experience.”

  “We had a late reservation after a show and opted for the chef’s tasting with wine pairing. What followed was a 3.5-hour experience—amuse-bouche, eight courses, and petit fours to-go. They absolutely lived up to their Michelin-star …”

  “Absolute perfection. The food was skillfully prepared. The complex and unbelievably delicious flavors. The staff clearly loves thier career choice every member of this team was not only ready to serve, but they truly enjoyed every minute of making the experience a first class culinary adventure. If you have the opportunity to request Matthew, he was knowledgeable and a pleasure.”

  “Le bernadin has been on my bucket list restaurants ever since I could afford to go out to fine dining restaurants. Just the legend behind it and the amount of accolades it has achieved over the years. I finally went after all these years and came out of dinner thinking it was just okay. Nothing bad about any of it but also nothing very spectacular or mind blowing. The service was excellent. I sat at the bar as a walk in and got the full chef’s tasting menu. My server / bartended was very kind and knowledgeable with the menu. She made me probably the best espresso martini I’ve had in my life. The meal itself was fine. As I said previously nothing was bad. I felt like everything was one note. Maybe my favorite dish was the Peruvian chocolate tart. Was I happy that I went? Yes extremely happy. Would I go back? Maybe just for the espresso martini.”

  “Amazing dining experience deserving of the stars, took advantage of the holiday to try the prix fixe menu. Warm variety of fresh baked bread, decided to go with Shellfish Medley followed by Halibut with Chowder Emulsion and Mont Blanc. The service was seamless, orderly and quick between courses with disturbing conversation.”

  “What a culinary delight! Truly an extraordinary and exquisite experience. Each course was intentionally and masterfully prepared by the best, with passion and flare. Every plate, and bite, a beautiful work of art. It was remarkable. And I cannot stop thinking about the creamy lobster and how authentic the sherbet tasted—the grapefruit was impeccable and the pear captured the grainy texture perfectly. The atmosphere was elegant, modern and tres chic and the staff attentive and engaged. My thanks to the generous team for surprising me with the most decadent and delicate birthday treat.”
