Le Bernardin is chef Eric Ripert’s French seafood restaurant on West 51st Street in Midtown, one of the city’s most celebrated fine-dining rooms.
Eater New York calls it a three-Michelin-star temple to French seafood and a tough reservation, but notes that the bar and lounge serve the full menu à la carte. Reviewers praise the service, the bread basket and desserts, and recommend the chef’s tasting menu with wine pairings. The smoked salmon croque monsieur with osetra caviar is a signature.
