About

If you think a seafood restaurant can't earn three Michelin stars, La Bernardin proves otherwise. It started in Paris in 1972 and relocated to New York in 1986, where chef Eric Ripert has led it to new heights. The dining room feels sophisticated and romantic, drawing a crowd mostly in their 30s to 50s.

Reservations here are famously hard to come by, so plan ahead. The focus is French-inspired seafood at its finest. It's the kind of place regulars book months in advance, and for good reason.
