  by Heli P

  
  

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

  by Harper Wentz

  
  

• 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

  by Gary E.

  
  

• Oysters and pearls alone is worth it. We took the dessert to go and enjoyed it the next day as well.

  by Timothy R

  
  

• Ok I think they have got an amazing service and wine list. However, food was not too amazing, maybe im.picky. But I had better ones before

  by Rachel W.

  
  

• 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

  by Ina Li

  
  

• the menu does not give you many choices

  by Emily P

  
  

• 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.

  by Kellene M.

  
  

• We all know it's expensive, but splurge a little and have dinner here. Worth every penny. Ask your server for a tour of the kitchen

  by Alex F.

  
  

• 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.

  by Paula Albuquerque

  
  

• So expensive, but very good

  by Biz T.

  
  

• 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.

  by Anuj M.

• 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.

  by M S.

  
  

• 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.

  by Lori L.

  
  

• 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.

  by Sam Dangremond

  
  

• 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.

  by CNN

  
  

• David Chang, chef of Mà Pêche, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Oysters & Pearls.

  by Chefs Feed

  
  

• 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.

  by Gothamist

  
  

• 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!

  by Daniel Boulud

  
  

• 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.

  by Summer K.

  
  

• Amazing food and better chocolates and wines. The only bad thing, you have to wear a jacket for the wholeeeeee dinner.

  by Andrew R

  
  

• 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

  by Glen G.

  
  

• Go for power lunch, not romantic dinner. Long tasting dinner, though hard to believe it's affiliated with French Laundry in Yountiville

  by Shindy C.

  
  

• I recommend Oysters and Pearls. It's my favorite dish.

  by Jose F

• Fine 1.7: Thomas Keller (a la French Laundry fame). It is supposed to be quite old school - pretty sure guys have to wear jackets! Keller is considered the US's most well regarded French trained chef.

  by Geoff K.

  
  

• Yes, it may be one of the most expensive meals in the city, but you get what you pay for. The vegetarian tasting menu is no mere afterthought; this is some of the best cooking in the world.

  by Eat to Blog

  
  

• It was pretty damn awesome. Just think it's way overpriced. It's not twice as good as places like Jean Georges or Le Bernardin. But top notch. Ask for a tour of the kitchen… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu)

  by Jess P.

  
  

• Do yourself a favour and skip lunch before eating here. Not only is the food 11/10, it's also a lot by the time your private dessert buffet is served!

  by Sascha W.

  
  

• 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.

• 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.
