We had lunch a Le Bernardin on Good Friday. The overall experience was sheer perfection, from the service to the excellent food. The lunch prix fix menu has a good selection - you get 3 courses and I found multiple items on each course that appealed to me. I started with the calamari stuffed with crab meat as my appetizer and had the striped bass as my main course. My dessert was Black Forest (a deconstructed black forest cake). The Servers provide easily the best service that I have encountered. It is understandable how this restaurant rates 3 Michelin stars - very well-deserved.

Had a lunch sampling care of Chef Rippert, the meal that was arguably the best of my life! As a seafood fan and a serious foodie, it was a dream come true and made real by the exemplary service of Masa and the rest of the wait staff. Find a way and be patient with the long waitlist, because trust me, it could very well be the best meal of your life as well!

Le Bernardin is truly amazing with its superb seafood, extensive menu, attentive staff, wonderful knowledgable sommelier, and beautiful serene ambience. Obviously, it is an "experience" you will not soon forget. It might be difficult to get a reservation, but I recommend persistence and patience because Le Bernardin is so worth it! As others have mentioned, your experience will not be inexpensive, but it will definitely satisfy your gastric cravings in the most positive way. Go, if you can, (especially if you love seafood) because you will remember your meal here as one of the best ever!

We had visited Eleven Madison Park, Daniel and Per Se on consecutive nights during a trip to New York. Le Bernardin was the fourth restaurant that we dined at and it outshone the other three in several ways. We had the Chef's Tasting menu with wine pairings which consisted of 8 courses.

We live in Queensland and have a love of seafood and Eric Ripert obviously has a lot of that love. The restaurant's motto is "Fish is the star of the plate" and it certainly was that with all of the seafood courses. Flavours and textures capturing the variety of produce and presented and served impeccably. Wine pairings can be difficult with seafood but all of the choices complimented the dishes perfectly. The desserts were also beautiful but I was sad to reach the end of the seafood menu.

Servers and Sommelier were very knowledgeable and helpful and obviously proud of the standard of the food and their service. We will definitely return next time in town.
