Best seafood tasting menu in NYC. Service is spot on. And Amazing. 6 months waiting list for reservations is for good reason. Also, Three Michelin Stars are certainly earned here.

The Austrian-born Sohm has bottles in the $30 range with small plates & entrees to match. Dinner menus feature dishes like liver-on-a-stick Grilled Foie Gras Lollipop , & goat cheese potato parfait . Read more

The food and also the ambiance! I highly recommend the food, the size of portions are just right. Warmly decorated high ceelings gives you relief and reduce the noice level. So ideal for conversation.

Edu Godinho

One of the bests French restaurants in NY! The tasting menu is amazing!! I tried the lobster and past, the skate this amazing apple for desert . Tip: try the lounge menu if you don’t want to spend much

Daniel Boulud

My favorites from the tasting menu include “barely cooked scallops ” with brown butter dashi, and a lobster lasagna with celeriac and truffle butter . Chef Eric Ripert cooks the best seafood in NYC!

Miche Zen

Absolutely everything about this culinary experience was excellent .. we had the 7 course tasting menu and it was delicious .. the staff amazing ????????

Fabian Martin

Truly amazing. The wine pairing was outrageously good, the sauces were always extraordinary and the food itself too. Only thing you can fault them for is that it’s just too busy for a 3* Michelin

Time Out New York

Le Bernardin is back with a 200-bottle list, an internationally inspired menu of charcuterie , skewers , & small plates like goat-cheese-and-potato parfaits and Roquefort-endive salad . Read more

Bernd Sailer

Excellent - it is an amazing experience. Perfect Service, nice location, awesome food. Best fish dishes I ever tasted. The lunch menu is a perfect offer to dive into a totally outstanding experience

Edwina McGregor

Everything here was S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. Top notch service and quite possibly the best seafood I’ve ever had in my life. Go for the Le Bernardin tasting menu .

Classic and sophisticated. Loved the experience. Sea food was excellent. Service and ambiance was perfect. My 3rd time and there will be many more????????????

Ms Helene

3 Michelin stars . 3 courses for lunch $90. Skip octopus app & get lobster , halibut entree and Apple mousse dessert .

Gothamist

A night here will cost a pretty penny, with a meal for two generally hovering above $300 or so, but the dishes come so delicately and exquisitely prepared they're well worth the splurge. Read more

Dan Sohayda

Simply amazing! I am not the biggest fish fan but the yellowfin tuna barely touched is astounding! Merluza was flakey and delicious. Highly recommended

Michelle

Seafood and fish is clearly the star here. We had the Le bernadin tasting and it was sensational. Great service and spot in NYC

JK

Try Kampachi sashimi with crushed Niçoise olives , Seared langoustine with balsamic-truffle vinaigrette & Mont blanc

Warrent Satt

Le Bernardin takes the cake for best seafood ever. And it'll probably be forever is hamachi appetizer , which looked and tasted amazing. Main course: get the Codfish if available.

Victoria U.

Do I even need to leave a tip? Get the tasting menu and wine pairing . It's the only way to go. Go big or go home. God bless Eric Ripert and team.

No Leftovers Jackie Gebel

Best meal of my life. Attention to detail is remarkable! Great for special occasions and visitors! Expensive but VERY worth it!

Tom Lee

Think Le Bernardin and you think accolades: Michelin, The New York Times, James Beard Foundation (plus a recent entry into the AAA Five Diamond club). A super sleek renovation in 2011 gave it more ...

Bon

amazing service, no complaints about the food. dare i say? it's quite boring and staid. a business dinner place for over 50 suits. the fish was impeccable, just boring. appreciate the purse ottoman.

Gregory Dominguez

One of the best experiences I've ever had in NYC. Service extraordinary, food is amazing. From first course to dessert ... PERFECT!

Lloyd

A 3 Michelin Star and The World's Best Restaurants (#19,2013). Serves crafty seafood dishes , as Chef/Owner said "The fish is the star". A seat here is hard to come by so make reservations ahead.

Pepe Bernal

Greatest experience I ever had. Every single piece of food it’s delicious. The quality it’s outstanding. The staff members are very professional and well educated .

Rachel Wang Pang

This place is my favorite Michelin 3 star restaurants in nyc so far, amazing seafood and service. And love it more and more every time I come back

Pimi Fassoula

Top! In this place the fish is the star ⭐️ Also, delicious desserts - try the tiramisu , it’s a must!

Cindy W

Go for the Le Bernardin Tasting menu (perfection portion). for cocktails/wine: Ginger Yuzu Cooler, Brooklyn Bee, and Riesling Kabinett, Mosel, Germany 2011.

Douglas Elliman

A sophisticated and elegant setting . We believe this place is made special due to its remarkable service. Since they specialize in sea food , we love ordering the black bass .

GQ Magazine

Try the charred octopus cooked three ways and served with three sauces, langoustine with a sliver of foie gras and white balsamic dressing , and Chef Ripert's Japanese-style Sea Medley. Bon Appétit!

There's not much to say; everything was amazing! The seafood truffle pasta and barely cooked salmon were both great! (Remember to bring a jacket for the dining room.)

Halstead Property

We couldn’t have been more ecstatic from the freshness of the Almost Raw Tuna and the sensational taste of pounded, light yellowfin tuna with a crisp from the oiled, toasted baguette in every bite.

Chad Horner

the prix fixe lunch menu is a great, more affordable way to get a taste of what Le Bernardin is offering. don't forget your jackets , gentlemen!

James H.

Sea bass is delicious but all the dishes are delicious. Comments are not necessary everything is great.

Levent Akgerman

My favorite restaurant in NYC. Always prefer tasting menus with great seafood as Eric Riper loves to surprise with his amazing French Touche!

We did the Chef 's Tasting with wine pairing . It was out of this world! Pure perfection. Well worth the splurge.

Colin Lee

Fantastic lunch menu , great value for money (weekdays only). Excellent seafood and service; perfect for special occasions

Judie Rhed Yim

The Sea Urchin of AB; Subtle poached Truffle top Halibut ; and Popcorn Flavor IC with Madagascar Ganache : all divine! Service was at once over attentive & then nowhere to be seen maybe intentional...

Matt Raoul

The lounge doesn't require a reservation , is a little more casual , and you can still order the awesome 8-course chef 's tasting and then lick each plate clean .

Kelly

Eric Ripert is a god of seafood , and Le Bernardin is his temple . Come, worship and find salvation. Everything about this restaurant is impeccable.

Halstead Property

Known for their outstanding seafood , “The Egg ” dessert (milk chocolate crème brulée , caramel sauce , caramle custard foam, maple syrup and Maldon sea salt ) is rumored to be the real star of the menu

Tim Deng

Get the vegetarian tasting menu . Did not blow me away. Willing to come back and try meat & seafood though.

Jen Pollack Bianco

The Prix Fix lunch is one of NYC's best fine dining bargains. It's worth it for the salmon rillette alone. The ladies room is also especially thoughtful.
