an incredible evening
Reviewed on Wednesday, 21 May 2008
I took my sister to Le Bernardin to celebrate her birthday and her engagement. It was an incredible evening and perfect for a special event. The beautiful and austere ambiance create a warm but reserved atmosphere. The wine recommendation was superb as was the tuna appetizer that we both ate. Described on the menu as, "layers of thinly pounded yellowfin tuna, foie gras and toasted baguette, shaved chives and extra virgin olive oil. Also memorable was the chocolate corn dessert, which gave me a new respect for corn. It is also highly recommended that you order the souffle in advance it is incredible.
I think after eating there Le Bernardin's reputation is completely deserved. While it may not be the best place for a rowdy group or timid diners, it is the perfect place for a special evening.

We arrived early and had a drink at the bar. Waitstaff took our coats and made us feel at home. My wiskey sour was perfect! We were escorted to our table, which was spacious, lovely, and the setting was absolutely gorgeous. I liked the fresh FLOWERS throughout the restaurant and the ART on the walls. We ordered an incredible bottle of wine- sauvignon blanc. While looking at the menu, the waiter brought us a shot of lobster soup. It was warm, buttery, rich...truly AMAZING.
I ordered the fluke ceviche to start. There were several preparations (4 ways), and each complementated one another. This was my first time trying fluke (white, light, fish) and it was delicious. My second course was the grilled cod salad (cooked slightly), drizzled with olive oil, and topped with avocado. Perfectly balanced flavors. Just right.
My entree was the poached halibut in a citrus, ginger, lemon sauce served with seaweed and baby bok choy. Again, SPOT ON. The fish melted in my mouth. It was beautiuflly prepared. Incredible. Could this meal get any better? Yes.
The banana creme brulee was delicious. Served with a biscotti, ice cream, peanuts and caramel. It was the perfect end to our meal. They also brought over a plate of mini cookies and a sampling of petit fours. WOW! Sugar overload. Well worth the hefty price tag! The best meal I've eaten in NY and best restaurant dining experience. Totally worth it! Service was special. You must go.
