We ate at Per Se May 17th, a tuesday. Night before we ate at Daniel. We live in SC and although we like food , we like places "of character" like our lunch at the Fatty Crab in Greenwich village , good food done well on wooden benches ($16 "steamed pork buns" with Bloody Marys ). We had the Statue...

My husband and I dined at this amazing restaurant on Tuesday May 17th. We have tried for years to get reservations at both French Laundry and Per Se, so when we actually got the reservation, we were elated! The FL cookbook has been a well loved fixture in our home for many years. From the minute we sat at our...

My husband and I were treated to the Chefs tasting menus at Per Se for his birthday. We had not experienced anything close to the tastes, service and wine. On arrival they knew who we were and all the staff we interacted with wished him a happy birthday. We felt little intimidated at first but the staff made us feel...

This was an outstanding evening in every way. The nine course menu plus several additional tasters was wonderful. This coupled with perfect and knowledgeable service made for a memorable dining experience. Have eaten in a number of three Michelin star establishments around the world, but Per Se really does set a new standard in my opinion.

I travel a lot and I've eaten all over the world. I just can't figure out what people see in this restaurant. The concept is a tasting menu - a lot of very small dishes that are supposed to wow you. They each come with a short canned story - description that comes out rehearsed and corny. That would be...

Atmosphere : Stunningly decorated in warm tones, with a view of Columbus Circle. Service : Excellent. Our reservation was at 10 PM on the day we arrived in NY from Europe, so for us it was like eating at 4AM. The wait staff was super about this and offered to have the dishes come more quickly. Food :We ordered the...

Top five things we liked 1. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, just as it should be. Not at all snobby like many European 3 stars. 2. Huge selection of half bottles of wine, to allow you to pick a white and a red to complement the 9 course menu. 3. Oyster starter, delicate and exquisite 4. The beef dish...

Per Se is an outstanding restaurant. It isnt meant for a budget trip but every penny spent was worth the quality, service, taste, atmosphere, etc. They treated us very well on our anniversary.

I spent my Saturday afternoon, looking over Central park and eating from the Salon menu. A menu I believe is a little underrated. Great value and food was superb! I had the lobster. Great wine! and they really know how to look after you. Thank You!
