Excellent service. All of the dishes were lovely. Four courses: red snapper, octopus, lobster, banana toffee pudding. Each was perfectly prepared, wonderful presentation and absolutely delicious. Finished with a Madeira. Perfect evening.

It’s what you’d expect for a 3-star Michelin. Attentive service, expensive, almost experimental dishes that’s tiny in portion featured in gigantic plates

Desserts were really good (especially the chocolate one) and the brioche was probably some of the best brioche I’ve ever had.
Staff was nice and professional but the overall decor of the dining room seemed a little outdated - still nice though.
There was a lot of food in the tasting menu, generally food was expertly cooked but some were salty.
Worth trying once but probably will not come back again.

La Bernadin is easily the greatest culinary disappointment in the city given its 3 star rating. The ambience, stuffy and drab. While the service is attentive, the food is absolutely lacking and overpriced. It’s baffling to me this continues to retain 3 stars. The dishes are common fair that you’re familiar with, nothing unique or creative here: shrimp, salmon, halibut, snapper, lobster, and so on. For $325 the tasting brings you 8 courses, 2 of which are dessert bites. The fish, dainty and unremarkable leaves you wishing you had just stopped for a slice or spent your money at literally any other venture in the city. $1300 for a group of 3 with one wine pairing, our table agreed the morsels were middling at best, the 1 bite of salmon and caviar is easily the star of the show. The dessert, it’s hard to go wrong with sorbet and chocolate so enjoy your one bite of each. And to end the journey a chefs compliment of dessert containing nuts for my nut allergic friend, good thing he was paying attention otherwise we would have had a medical emergency on our hands. Was anything comped for risking his life? No, a simple “oops sorry” was provided. It’s truly amazing to me this institution, likely a shell of its former self, where the faux luxury is as thin as the foam on your appetizer, continues to be regarded with any esteem whatsoever.

The food, as expected was perfectly prepared and seasoned. The service was attentive and unobtrusive. However we were the first seating, and felt rushed to be seated and to order/decide. The service felt very sterile and robotic, we don't know if that's because of the culture in NYC. Is it considered rude to interact with guests in NYC? We did get one or two staff to interact with us when we pressed.
The wine pairing was intelligent and spot on, probably the best part of the experience.
The reason I can't give them 5 stars all around is because for the price and all the hype, (this being our first 3 star experience) we felt it came up short.
Though the food was perfectly prepared and seasoned it lacked an important aspect, the WOW factor. We just weren't wowed!
I'm not sure if it's because we are spoiled by the great food we have available to us in Napa, or not, regardless, we felt our meal at the Metropolitan Museum of Art dining room was more enjoyable at 7 times less the price! Just my 2 cents.
