Le Bernardin Restaurant   

This is an exceptional restaurant. The food was excellent the service was outstanding. We were absolutely NOT rushed. It was such a woonderful dining experience!

Had a great dinner, the seafood and service was excellent as always.

We, a group of four, re(visited) this repeatedly over praised restaurant and soon regretted our choice of restaurant for the evening. While 3 of 4 appetizers were quite good (and one very uninspired), the main courses, all 4 of them were plainly mediocre. The service was the worst we have experienced in a long time! In no other "high end" restaurant have we EVER experienced such inefficient and indifferent - and at times arrogant and rude service. (Not in casual restaurants either, for a very long time). In expensive restaurants we expect to get good service, period. On a positive note: The sommelier was very professional and (of course) really knew his wines. He was the only one on the floor that stood up to the (supposedly) high standards of this restaurant. He recommended a couple of absolutely glorious wines to us. But not even he can get us to come back. It is a total mystery to us why this restaurant gets such good (food) ratings -or overall ratings. But many people who frequent McDonalds give that place good raitings, too....
