Le Bernardin is 3 Star Michelin French restaurant that is located in Midtown, New York. Words cannot describe this beast of a beauty establishment. Elegant, inviting, and chic are only some of the descriptions than I can think of right now. Le Bernardin is beyond just a wonderful experience. Not to mention, the excellent service, the fancy sommelier, the amazing food, and the relaxing ambience provided by the Michelin restaurant.
When my family went up New York, we had the Le Bernardin Tasting Menu and wine pairings. We had an absolutely wonderful time and I recall my mother saying that what made her experience even more memorable were the wine pairings and how they were pleasantly surprising. I still remember the well-dressed and groomed wine sommelier as she greeted with a bright smile. She recommended us this a wonderful blend of flavors for our dinner along with the chef’s complimenting dishes with our wine selection.
Next up is their truly exceptional service. The 3 Star Michelin restaurant creates not only just a meal for its customers but rather an experience. Le Bernardin offers a first class experience for its guests. The staff are are beyond hospitable yet so professional and pleasant. They would be a step ahead of me and would be there before I knew I even wanted something. For instance, the waiter changed my utensils between each of courses and refill our water without us even noticing it was empty. Furthermore, it’s the extra touches that counts.
My mother didn’t have a place to lay down her purse. They waiter quickly gave a stand for her handbag. Frankly speaking, I don’t think any restaurant can top their service as their staff’s so attentive to each and every little detail throughout our entire dining experience. Their service is immaculate as the employees made sure each course was beautifully plated and that wine pairing was impeccable.
Moreover, in Le Bernardin, you can automatically feel this vibrant energy in the restaurant. And this is the the kind you can only find in Manhattan, New York. Not to mention the stunning lightning provided by the restaurant, anyone can look alluring. Additionally, the relaxing ambience is another major factor that contributes to the success of this restaurant. Although it’s meant to be a French cuisine, Le Bernardin nails the New York City classy vibe. The restaurant in some way incorporates this relaxing and formal atmosphere to which leads to a chic ambience.
Le Bernardin has been deemed as the best seafood restaurant in Manhattan. Their menu includes contemporary and innovative dishes made from first-rate ingredients. I have to add though, it is not French food, but rather, French technique. Although the essence of this cuisine is sustained, the techniques and ingredients used are contemporary. The dishes served were refined and simple. We thought the food was sublime. Thus, when we left the restaurant, we were left with the impression that each dish served was successful. The exceptional restaurant left us a remarkable and memorable experience as it’s quite rare to come across a restaurant where every dish is served so perfectly, even in the Michelin star world.
