Good but nowhere near epic
Many laud this place as one of the best seafood establishments in the county. It’s got 3 Michelin stars & has been featured on worlds 50 best restaurants. I merely indulged in lunch however it was $130 for 3 courses so I suspected some downright spectacular food. The shrimp appetizer & dessert were the highlights of lunch but my sea bass entree was flavorless & left much to be desired. It’s worth mentioning that the service is quite impeccable & they even stored my luggage before my flight. Lastly the provided some complimentary items in honor of my birthday.

It is hard to make an argument that Le Bernardin isn't the No. 1 restaurant in New York City. Recognized as one of the world's best seafood restaurants -- what'll you have, lobster or scallops or caviar? -- it is an elite French restaurant with three Michelin stars that offers chef Eric Ripert's refined seafood, expert service and luxurious decor. It also is the only restaurant in New York City that has maintained a four-star rating from the New York Times for over 35 years, since 1986. Located at 155 West 51st Street, in the Equitable Building, at Broadway and 8th Avenue, in Midtown Manhattan's Theater District, Le Bernardin is expensive and a jacket is required for male diners. But you can wear jeans, even tennis shoes. Open from noon to 2:30 and 5 to 10:30 Monday through Thursday, noon to 2:30 and 5 to 11 on Friday and 5 to 11 on Saturday, Le Bernardin serves a four-course prix fixe dinner and a 10-course chef's tasting menu with wine pairings. It also serves a three-course lunch. I became acquainted with a chef's tasting menu at Patrick O'Connell's three-Michelin star restaurant at the Inn at Little Washington in Washington, Virginia. He said he switched from a la carte to tasting menu because it gave him an opportunity to be more creative with each dish. At Le Bernardin, Ripert follows the same game plan. The tasting menu is recommended if you want to enjoy the full Le Bernardin experience. My wife and I sampled Caviar Tartare, Crab Cake, Black Bass and baby shrimp and calamari, sauteed Dover Sole, Glazed Maine Lobster, Salmon, Halibut, White Tuna-Japanese Wagyu, Grapefruit sorbet and Brandied Cherries with Vanilla Ice Cream. All for $225 per person. We skipped the wine pairing. But we really enjoyed the "full Le Bernardin experience."

I have been wanting to eat here for many years, and finally with a recent trip to New York, we were able to book a table. From the moment we walked in, we were cared for in every way. It met all of our expectations. The service was friendly and helpful. No detail was left unnoticed. All of our courses were simply perfect. There was absolutely nothing to fault with this restaurant hence it’s long standing reputation. If you have the chance, indulge and splurge on one of the best meals in the world.

The service was amongst the best I’ve ever experienced. The food exceeded expectations and the cocktails were amazing too.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsPoor service
Service was cold and inattentive. Food is worthy of Michelin 3 star, but service is very lacking. Server did not recognize my son is left handed despite even after several courses. Eventually we told her and as we were telling her, she was continually to walk away. Male servers were cold and snobbiness to their attitude. When we took a family photo, I accidentally dropped my napkin on the floor ( high traffic area) , but nobody realized. I would expect the Michelin 3 star restaurant would have higher standard of service.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsNot the exceptional experience one expects for this level of restaurant
A perfectly good high-end restaurant, but not the exceptional experience one would have expected. Perhaps the line cooks for lunch service aren’t as on their game as the dinner service? Or maybe 2024 has taken its toll on the restaurant? Or maybe a tasting menu experience would’ve been better than our 3 course prix fixe? Or maybe Eric Ripert is merely phoning it in? But there’s no excuse for overcooked Dover sole at Le Bernardin… The amuse-bouche was fantastic. The dessert and petit four were fantastic. We found the service to be uncomfortably attentive; our romantic lunch for two felt like a third person was constantly present, maybe due to the way our lunch was rushed (we started at 12:15; we were done shortly after 1). Maybe they mistook the two of us for a business lunch?

Nice food & service - Lunch was pretty good but felt the food although tasty was pretty safe - The service again pretty good but for a 3 star Michelin restaurant felt the attention to detail good have been much sharper - Overall a nice lunch but given it has 3 stars expected a little more

Beautiful restaurant, excellent service. The desserts were delicious. The fish dish was good but the appetizer was not good and not edible (grilled octopus). For that reason I am only giving 3 stars.

Fabulous birthday lunch. Everything was perfect. The food was amazing. The sauces for the seafood were delicious and really enhanced the flavor. So much attention to detail. Desserts were a superb ending, Thank you for a special day!
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsThis is what a 3-star Michelin restaurant is all about
Everything from start to finish was excellent. Let's start with service. Every individual went above and beyond. If we asked questions, we not only received answers, but also detailed explanations. Food service was wonderful. Each dish came with a detailed description. Wine service was amazing. The sommelier was knowledgable and did his best to provide as much detail as possible when describing the wines as well as why each one was paired with its accompanying food item. Silverware service was impressive. Let's talk food. WOW! WOW! WOW! Each dish is expertly crafted. Seafood items were extraordinarily fresh. Every dish had a unique flavor profile and everything was delicious. Wines were high quality and paired perfectly with each dish. Dessert was great - not too heavy or rich, just perfect. We will come back every time we visit the city!

I can't believe this can happen in 2024. I went for lunch to treat my mother. They sat all the Asian diners in the back wall - "a Asian section". It was so obvious that my mother felt quite bad. The waiter waited near our table for taking the order like a local diner. When I went with Europen colleagues, this never happened. If you of certain ethnicity, avoid Le Bernadin, their service is "different". I can't believe I spent a $400 lunch to feel so bad.

Without a doubt, one of the finest restaurants in New York....or anywhere. Superb atmosphere, service and oh! the food. I dare not share what we had because everything is so good. You'll leave a little less in your estate for your kids but it's well with it.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsAbsolute Perfection
Lr Bernardin is perfection: from the moment you walk in the door, the service, the staff, the food, drinks, and wine are all of the charts. This is the standard by which all fine dining should be measured. Each and every person we interacted with was a consummate professional. That started with the maitre d who greeted us, to the server, bread person, sommelier, all the other servers, and even the coat check woman. We’ve eaten in the best restaurants in the world, haven’t been here in many years, but hands down this was one of the finest dining experiences we ever had. The amuse-bouche was amazing, as was each and every course - tuna, langoustines, halibut, chocolate egg, and desert. The white burgundy we ordered was also perfect, as were our cocktails. The room itself was also spectacular and so was our table. I could go on and on. For fine dining, there is no better restaurant in New York.

Wow, from the moment you walk in, you know you are in for an experience. Enjoyed everything. Got a chat with Eric and a tour of the kitchen. One thing better than the next. Priceless.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsTerrible Experience for 50th Birthday
I debated even writing this but after the conversation with the restaurant they seemed very open to receiving feedback both good and bad so with that in mind I am writing about my terrible dinner experience there on 1/12/24. It was celebrating my 50th birthday and both my wife and I got the Chef's Tasting Menu. It started off well but then we got to the Sea Bass course. My Sea Bass was inedible...it was tough and I literally could not cut it with a knife. I sent it back needless to say. My wife's lobster was then as chewy as a rubber tire. Those two issues are enough to warrant some disappointment for such a well regarded establishment but the real coup de gras was that both my wife and I became violently ill with food poisoning approximately 24 hours after our meal. I know this is a serious complaint but being both my wife and I are doing intermittent fasting, there was no other food consumed in that time period that could have contributed for both of us. The restaurant has been informed and they did call to apologize but this is completely unacceptable and I feel strongly our experience should be out there. This was my first time here and I certainly anticipate it being my last.

Consistently one of the best in the world. Simply outstanding food and service. We had the tasting menu and it would be hard to pick a favorite dish. Inventive preparations and impeccable service (as an example, every time we used a bit of butter the dish was replaced, even though no one seemed to immediately around to notice). Not inexpensive, but worth every penny. Looking forward to our next visit.

Service was good at the start but went down crazy when the place becomes full.. it is not what i expected in this highly rated restaurant.. we started with amuse bouche but nothing special, the big bowl of salmon rillette from the 80 nothing special the bread large selection but nothing very tasty specially the baguette, the appetizers was good the Dover sole also but vegetables missing!! My flounder served with blend bouillabaisse jus and micro garnish too small to enjoy the fish too crusty for this kind of preparation the sorbet was good good but nothing special served with sugar cookies my baba was more cream than baba and very small ice cream for the price you pay you expect more!!

This is not just amazing food, this is the highest level of creativity and perfection of execution. The chef’s menu and wine tasting was an incredible experience.

Is it that good? Yes, it is that good. Amazing. This is how an unforgettable experience feels like. Your biggest problem is going to be what you chose. And you cannot go wrong. Thank you Eric.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsBest food I’ve ever eaten
If you are looking for excellent service, great wine pairing and excellent food then you should book here. Don’t skimp and think the a la carte will do, go for the tasting menu if you can. The scallops in particular are amazing. The reservations are released 7am (EST) on the first for the month ahead. Remember to set an alert to book as close to that time as possible if there’s a particular reservation that you want.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsLunch was Superb
I was just ok with my previous visit a few years ago but LOVED the City Harvest lunch menu offerings this past February. I sat at the bar and really enjoyed the exceptional service provided to me by Kosta. I mentioned that I would be attending the matinee for Moulin Rouge ( a must see!) and Kosta assured me he would get me to the musical on time which he did. Both the Moulin Rouge and Summer Wind cocktails were fantastic and I also enjoyed a terrific Riessdorfkolsch beer. Bread assortment is very nice. All 3 courses were perfect, not just excellent but perfect. The $163 (not including gratuity) for what I received was money very well spent and I look forward to Le Bernadin on my next visit to NYC.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsMyth Debunked
Myth debunked I have not been to the restaurant for many years and after reading wonderful reviews I thought it a great place to celebrate my wife's 85th birthday. Needless to say it was extremely hard to get a reservation fortunately my American Express platinum card enabled me to get a reservation at 5:45 PM last night. As I remembered it still is an extremely beautiful place. But after my experience last night I cannot encourage anybody to go to this restaurant - be prepared to spend $500 for such a mediocre experience. If for some reason you do go do not sit in the rear of the restaurant, there is the entrance to the kitchenand your head will spin with the constant flow of people going in and out- completely distracting dining. I am 90 years old, been to 57 countries and have eaten in the finest restaurants in the world – this certainly is not one of them. There is a constant interference by waiters and etc. instead of fine unobtrusive service found in fine restaurants/ All of the above could be forgiven if the food lived up to its reputation. You have two choices to start with followed by one entrée and dessert($185). To start with we ordered the langostino which was overcooked and sent back. For the entrée i ordered the fluke and after the experience of the starter I asked the waiter please do not overcook it. It came well done, overcooked and tasteless and sent this back, After this 2nd experience I declined ordering anything else. My wife did enjoy her halibut. For dessert she ordered a Carmel dessert- just adequate. They only charged me alacart for the items I ate. At a price which will exceed $250 a person with wine and drinks one would expect much more. It's all about fussiness and the presentation rather than great seafood and elegant service. Happy 85 to my beautiful wife,

We were able to have lunch here while in town for a long weekend. We were very pleased with our experience. The staff was very nice. We had some great wine pairings with our courses. Ideally, the seating would be a little more spaced apart but this is NYC where space is at a premium. The food was outstanding. We would definitely return.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsService was unfortunately disappointing and no one there seems to care….at least not the person answering the phone.
This had been one of the best fine dining establishment. We had looked forward to yet another amazing experience. Again the food was fantastic but the service was shady and often just odd. They told us upfront about the time limit. We are aware having worked at restaurants they need to turn tables but that is not how you greet a guest unless things have changed…? We never were asked if we’d like add in items to our tasting menu. We were served dessert and then asked what about the cheese cart so that came later. We never were really sure who our waiter was but worse was how the staff left us feeling uncomfortable. The bill was consistent and very expensive so they got that right. I actually called the restaurant and the gal who answered was right away negative towards me since my feedback was short of a compliment. So then I decided to share via this post. My first negative post on any Michelin rated restaurant.
