  This was the most crowded Michelin star restaurant I've ever been to and I feel the ambiance left something to be desired. It was very dark and almost gloomy inside. I chose the Chef's menu and the food was great, not amazing, in my honest opinion. I guess I built it up so much more in my head. The service though was severely lacking, dishes for me and my husband arrived at different times and the staff seemed unfocused and inconsistent. I personally witnessed the staff being berated two different times by the manager just a few steps away from where I was seated. In addition, I saw two servers start laughing and making jokes, when this woman who was dressed (maybe a bit overdressed) in a gown, walked by. I enjoyed my experience at Chef's Table much more.

  This restaurant is fabulous. We sat in the formal dining room for lunch, and the experience was divine. The caviar decadent the tar tar was the best I've had, I've sampled a few before. The red snapper refreshing and the scallops are absolutely a benchmark. The staff is welcoming yet professional to a robotic degree. I reserve the highest acclaim for Le Bernardin.

  This is now my favorite restaurant, I’ve probably been there 10 times in the past 3.5 years. The service is impeccable, you get the attention you need but always in a discreet way. Marie, the wine specialist, knows not only everything about wine and can tell you stories about the wineries but she is also the kindest person you’ll meet. Jeremy, one of the staff member, has been very kind as well, able to translate every dishes into French, when I came with French people, who didn’t speak English. Finally, the main reason to come here for, the food! Not only the ingredients used in each of the dishes are exquisite, the their preparation and presentation are really at the level of art. Always the right combinations of flavors and ingredients, always with something a little bit unexpected. I’m a particular fan of Chef’s Thomas Raquel’s dessert, which are to another level. This season, apple dessert should be enough of a reasons for you to immediately get a reservation!

  We went there for lunch. No reservation and sit at the lounge area. Everyone there is super nice and welcoming to us. I tried almost every single bread that they offered: the resin and walnut one is the best, my friend kept asking for it. They even asked you to get more bread to dip into the soup. Haha... We tried their harvest menu, they change this menu weekly, so every week it’s different. I like both of the main courses, very tender and delicious and not fishy at all. That is not easy to achieve. My appetizer: the slightly seared tuna is sauced with Cantonese style fish soy sauce. That’s innovative, but I’m not sure I’m a fan of it. The tuna still tasted good tho.

  This place lives up to the hype. Service was seamless and unobtrusive yet attentive. Food was incredible, with the lobster being my favorite off the chef's tasting menu. We got engaged here so were surprised with a bonus champagne toast and chocolate mousse cake which was a lovely touch. Definitely recommend for special occasions.
