A 3 Michelin Star & World's Top 50 Best Restaurant (#11, 2013). Legendary Chef Thomas Keller 's French Laundry counterpart. 2nd to none in service w/ a beautiful view and romantic ambience . Amazing!

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

The prix fixe menu is definitely the way to go, but if you want to order à la carte, that option is available in the salon. – Green Guide Editor

Fabian Martin

Best culinary experience of my life so far. It’s a classic experience and doesn’t have any extra bells and whistles. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll be very very happy. 3 Michelin stars

Elizabeth Burstein

Highly rec salon seating, salmon croquette starter, caviar and uni upgrade, foie gras , truffle tagliatelle upgrade, wagyu beef upgrade, and the raspberry macaroons . Honesty everything is amazing!

Many renowned culinary talents have tried to take New York, but none of them have hit as many right notes from the start as Thomas Keller , with his pitch-perfect urban counterpoint to French Laundry . Read more

Hailed by food critics ever since its doors opened, swanky Per Se is the brainchild of Thomas Keller , the only American chef to have been awarded three Michelin stars for two different restaurants . Read more

Ina Li

310 menu with 3 glasses of wine ended up around $500. Exceptional service, but little 'wow' factors from the food. Love the beef , halibut and egg custard with white truffle oil . Ask for a kitchen tour

Condé Nast Traveler

“Thomas Keller 's Oysters and Pearls is one of the greatest dishes of all time, and a trip to Per Se without it is like a Paul McCartney concert without ‘Yesterday.’” - Tim Ryan Read more

Stephen Gates

Per Se is the meal by which all others are measured. Every aspect of this dining experience is the very best Also be sure to ask for a tour of the kitchen after your meal.

Daniel Boulud

I always have a wonderful time at Per Se, just letting my dear friend Thomas Keller and his chefs cook a surprise meal for me. The tasting menu will not disappoint!

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍

Chef Thomas Keller 's flagship NYC restaurant ; Per Se, operate at the highest levels of gastronomy and hospitality alike. Service here is gracious, focused and precise. Overall, a stellar experience

Gretchen Robbins

Fantastic, always first class on all points. Chef Keller & team year after year put out amazing feats of gorgeous & delicious food, accompanied by impeccable service all confined within a grand room.

Warrent Satt

This place rivaled and then beat my experience at The Square in London. Gastronomic genus! Of course, as can be expected, this place is super posh and very spendy.

Sam Dangremond

You can't go wrong with anything here, but the Butter Poached Lobster is especially delicious. Insiders know that the salon offers the opportunity to order as few as one or two dishes à la carte.

Gary Edwards

Very deserving of three Michelin stars , Per Sebstands in a unique and elite league for authenticity with classic technique offered with each of the nine courses. Simply amazed by their staff

Nicole

Even if you don't like a food item, you may love how they prepare it here. I give them my allergy list in advance and then am not picky about what comes out. Always impressive. Please dress up!

Gregory Dominguez

Simply AMAZING, the best of the best... RECOMMENDED DISHES Oysters and Pearls , gateau of foie gras , butter-poached lobster ... ;)

Harper Wentz

The food was absolutely amazing! It was so delectable. The service was choreographed and seamless. Please come here!! It was amazing!! The chefs tasting menu was so delicious!!

Magnus Jern

Yes. It's as good as they say and better than the 2-star NY times review. Great for a date or business meeting.

JK

Try Hawaiian heart of peach palm bavarois, Herb-roasted Scottish langoustine & Banana gelato with dulce de leche

http://Perseny.com | 3 Michelin Stars | Perfect execution & constant evolution define Thomas Keller’s superb restaurant . Dine in plush modernity overlooking Central Park . Daily-changing menu. Sublime!

Lori Luo

Coming for lunch allows a choice of a 5 or 7-course tasting, and views of Columbus Circle in sunlight. The Oysters and Pearls continues to be their signature dish.

Gothamist

The menus are unique daily, so if you're fortunate enough to experience Per Se on multiple occasions, you'll never have quite the same meal twice. Oh and that view of Central Park doesn't hurt either. Read more

Julie Soscia

Truly unforgettable dining experience. Make sure to get a tour of the kitchen and fresh baked goods after your meal!

Pea A

Understated elegance. Amazing food and service. Fresh ingredients create refined and delicious food. The other person got the vegetarian tasting menu and it was amazing

clive kornitzer

Awesome food amazing service and fab views ..the waiting area pre going in is soulless so arrive on time for your table rather than for a pre dinner drink

Muskan

Dinner will take over 3 hours but patience goes a long way. Favorites were the first course, oysters and pearls . The dessert - warm cinnamon donuts and coffee will give you the perfect buzz.

GQ Magazine

Whatever you eat at Per Se is worth whatever you have to pay. Try Chef Keller's legendary butter-poached lobster , and you'll be experiencing the best of New York.

Chefs Feed

The oyster and pearls is a true Thomas Keller classic with the "sea-xiest" mouthfeel. It is chic—briny, creamy, plump, and delicate. Read more

Anuj Mathur

For all that's said about Per Se, the quality of the cocktails and bartending is not mentioned enough. A perfect old fashioned is served in a weighty glass.

Julie Soscia

Expect a hefty bill but unforgettable dining experience. Make sure to get a tour of the kitchen and fresh baked goods after your meal!

Pramod Pai

The best 9-course Tasting of Seasonal Vegetables or the 9-course Chef’s Tasting Menu , which changes daily. http://freshnyc.com/date-spots-romantic-restaurants/se-elegant-meal-special-occasions

Missy Mackey

Incredible tasting menu and wine pairings . My favorites were the oyster with caviar pearls and the lamb .

AmateurConcierge

Classic fine dining institution in Columbus Circle. Expect a traditional “haute” experience that feels a bit dated. Oysters and pearls still the star

New York Habitat

Serving up the one of the best dining experiences in the world, Per Se is quite simply the best of the best. Make reservations a month in advance and expect a meal lasting multiple hours.

Rent the Runway

By far one of the best executed restaurants in NYC. From the food to the menu- everything is impeccably done. Take it all in and enjoy the ruby beet sorbet and asparagus tofu if it's on the menu

Shermans Travel

The daily rotating tasting menu offers nine courses, including “oysters and pearls ,” a dish of oysters , tapioca , and caviar , foie gras with white peaches , and duck with sweet plums . Read more

"It'll still take you five hours to stuff yourself silly on foie gras and truffles as a cavalcade of servers fawns over you." -Forbes Travel Guide on TripExpert Read more

JD Malone

The tasting menu is the way to go. They are very strict about the jacket policy so beware. I took mine off in the lobby due to the AC non working well and got glared at.

The New York Times

Recommended: Oysters and Pearls , gateau of foie gras , clam chowder , sweet corn velouté, omelet with mushroom duxelles and aged tamari, butter-poached lobster ; pressed duck . Read more

Summer Izkovich

Per Se's French cuisine is enough to keep you toasty , impressed, and very well-fed. Really treat yourself (... or your date) and get the Tasting Menu .

Colin Lee

Ate at saloon part which offers the ala carte menu. Requested an excellent kitchen tour . Think other 3 Michelin star restaurants are better than Per Se though

Kelli M

Had my dad take me here as punishment for skipping out on my graduation. Revenge is a dish best served cold and with a wine pairing .

Marek

Best tasting menu in NYC (nine courses prix fixe $295, bottle of wine ~$100) http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/dining/reviews/per-se-nyc-restaurant-review.html

Halstead Property

We visited in December and the view of snow falling on New York while being seated near the fireplace is truly unforgettable. The wine list presented on an iPad was a lovely touch.

Daniel Burton

The restraunt is very close to my apartment . We both had the chefs tasting menu . It is good to sample an assorted menu. The total bill was around $300.00.

The Daily Meal

Per Se upholds the standards set by The French Laundry , and despite the defection of longtime chef Jonathan Benno to open his own place, it remains one of the outstanding dining experiences in NYC. Read more

Don Michael Antonio

A top-tier meal to die for in terms of food, plating and wine . One of the best I have ever had in NYC and worldwide.

Epicurious

Enjoy the sunset over Central Park as you while away your evening with a 7- or 9-course meal inspired by the flavors of France. One of the best ways to spend a New York evening.
