The food is exceptional,you start with all the amuse bouche and you finish with an amazing selection of desserts.The ambiance is great with a great view of Columbus Circle. They make you feel special!

The prix fixe menu is definitely the way to go, but if you want to order à la carte, that option is available in the salon. – Green Guide Editor

A 3 Michelin Star & World's Top 50 Best Restaurant (#11, 2013). Legendary Chef Thomas Keller's French Laundry counterpart. 2nd to none in service w/ a beautiful view and romantic ambience. Amazing!
Fabian MartinSeptember 5, 2022
Best culinary experience of my life so far. It’s a classic experience and doesn’t have any extra bells and whistles. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll be very very happy. 3 Michelin stars
Elizabeth BursteinJune 28, 2018
Highly rec salon seating, salmon croquette starter, caviar and uni upgrade, foie gras, truffle tagliatelle upgrade, wagyu beef upgrade, and the raspberry macaroons. Honesty everything is amazing!
Ina LiOctober 5, 2015
310 menu with 3 glasses of wine ended up around $500. Exceptional service, but little 'wow' factors from the food. Love the beef, halibut and egg custard with white truffle oil. Ask for a kitchen tour

Hailed by food critics ever since its doors opened, swanky Per Se is the brainchild of Thomas Keller, the only American chef to have been awarded three Michelin stars for two different restaurants. Read more

Per Se is the meal by which all others are measured. Every aspect of this dining experience is the very best Also be sure to ask for a tour of the kitchen after your meal.

Chef Thomas Keller's flagship NYC restaurant; Per Se, operate at the highest levels of gastronomy and hospitality alike. Service here is gracious, focused and precise. Overall, a stellar experience

Many renowned culinary talents have tried to take New York, but none of them have hit as many right notes from the start as Thomas Keller, with his pitch-perfect urban counterpoint to French Laundry. Read more

http://Perseny.com | 3 Michelin Stars | Perfect execution & constant evolution define Thomas Keller’s superb restaurant. Dine in plush modernity overlooking Central Park. Daily-changing menu. Sublime!
Sam DangremondAugust 7, 2014
Been here 5+ times
You can't go wrong with anything here, but the Butter Poached Lobster is especially delicious. Insiders know that the salon offers the opportunity to order as few as one or two dishes à la carte.
Gretchen RobbinsOctober 8, 2016
Fantastic, always first class on all points. Chef Keller & team year after year put out amazing feats of gorgeous & delicious food, accompanied by impeccable service all confined within a grand room.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
Coming for lunch allows a choice of a 5 or 7-course tasting, and views of Columbus Circle in sunlight. The Oysters and Pearls continues to be their signature dish.
MuskanFebruary 18, 2015
Dinner will take over 3 hours but patience goes a long way. Favorites were the first course, oysters and pearls. The dessert - warm cinnamon donuts and coffee will give you the perfect buzz.
Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018
Expect a hefty bill but unforgettable dining experience. Make sure to get a tour of the kitchen and fresh baked goods after your meal!
Warrent SattJanuary 18, 2014
This place rivaled and then beat my experience at The Square in London. Gastronomic genus! Of course, as can be expected, this place is super posh and very spendy.
Condé Nast TravelerOctober 26, 2016
“Thomas Keller's Oysters and Pearls is one of the greatest dishes of all time, and a trip to Per Se without it is like a Paul McCartney concert without ‘Yesterday.’” - Tim Ryan Read more
Gary EdwardsOctober 20, 2015
Very deserving of three Michelin stars, Per Sebstands in a unique and elite league for authenticity with classic technique offered with each of the nine courses. Simply amazed by their staff
NicoleApril 5, 2015
Even if you don't like a food item, you may love how they prepare it here. I give them my allergy list in advance and then am not picky about what comes out. Always impressive. Please dress up!
clive kornitzerJanuary 5, 2019
Awesome food amazing service and fab views ..the waiting area pre going in is soulless so arrive on time for your table rather than for a pre dinner drink
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019
Truly unforgettable dining experience. Make sure to get a tour of the kitchen and fresh baked goods after your meal!

The oyster and pearls is a true Thomas Keller classic with the "sea-xiest" mouthfeel. It is chic—briny, creamy, plump, and delicate. Read more
GQ MagazineJune 7, 2012
Whatever you eat at Per Se is worth whatever you have to pay. Try Chef Keller's legendary butter-poached lobster, and you'll be experiencing the best of New York.
JD MaloneSeptember 10, 2017
The tasting menu is the way to go. They are very strict about the jacket policy so beware. I took mine off in the lobby due to the AC non working well and got glared at.
JKAugust 7, 2021
Try Hawaiian heart of peach palm bavarois, Herb-roasted Scottish langoustine & Banana gelato with dulce de leche
Gregory DominguezFebruary 15, 2015
Simply AMAZING, the best of the best... RECOMMENDED DISHES Oysters and Pearls, gateau of foie gras, butter-poached lobster ... ;)
Harper WentzOctober 26, 2015
The food was absolutely amazing! It was so delectable. The service was choreographed and seamless. Please come here!! It was amazing!! The chefs tasting menu was so delicious!!
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014
I always have a wonderful time at Per Se, just letting my dear friend Thomas Keller and his chefs cook a surprise meal for me. The tasting menu will not disappoint!
GothamistAugust 1, 2014
The menus are unique daily, so if you're fortunate enough to experience Per Se on multiple occasions, you'll never have quite the same meal twice. Oh and that view of Central Park doesn't hurt either. Read more

The best 9-course Tasting of Seasonal Vegetables or the 9-course Chef’s Tasting Menu, which changes daily. http://freshnyc.com/date-spots-romantic-restaurants/se-elegant-meal-special-occasions
New York HabitatNovember 15, 2011
Serving up the one of the best dining experiences in the world, Per Se is quite simply the best of the best. Make reservations a month in advance and expect a meal lasting multiple hours.
Anuj MathurNovember 2, 2014
For all that's said about Per Se, the quality of the cocktails and bartending is not mentioned enough. A perfect old fashioned is served in a weighty glass.
Pea AOctober 20, 2016
Understated elegance. Amazing food and service. Fresh ingredients create refined and delicious food. The other person got the vegetarian tasting menu and it was amazing
Colin LeeNovember 23, 2016
Ate at saloon part which offers the ala carte menu. Requested an excellent kitchen tour. Think other 3 Michelin star restaurants are better than Per Se though
Village VoiceJune 11, 2012
Get the desserts, by pastry chef Elwyn Boyles, and savor every second of these delectable concoctions. The five-course tasting menu created by Boyles himself should be your prime consideration.
Missy MackeyFebruary 13, 2023
Incredible tasting menu and wine pairings. My favorites were the oyster with caviar pearls and the lamb.
Shermans TravelAugust 15, 2012
The daily rotating tasting menu offers nine courses, including “oysters and pearls,” a dish of oysters, tapioca, and caviar, foie gras with white peaches, and duck with sweet plums. Read more
Rent the RunwayMay 12, 2011
By far one of the best executed restaurants in NYC. From the food to the menu- everything is impeccably done. Take it all in and enjoy the ruby beet sorbet and asparagus tofu if it's on the menu
Magnus JernJanuary 27, 2017
Yes. It's as good as they say and better than the 2-star NY times review. Great for a date or business meeting.
@JaumePrimeroNovember 10, 2011
For those of you that cannot make the pilgrimage to French Laundry in Yountville, this culinary destination is worth the trip. Go big and order the 10 course with the wine pairing!
Daniel BurtonMarch 23, 2015
The restraunt is very close to my apartment. We both had the chefs tasting menu. It is good to sample an assorted menu. The total bill was around $300.00.
Don Michael AntonioAugust 14, 2014
A top-tier meal to die for in terms of food, plating and wine. One of the best I have ever had in NYC and worldwide.
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011
Recommended: Oysters and Pearls, gateau of foie gras, clam chowder, sweet corn velouté, omelet with mushroom duxelles and aged tamari, butter-poached lobster; pressed duck. Read more
Summer IzkovichJune 29, 2014
Per Se's French cuisine is enough to keep you toasty, impressed, and very well-fed. Really treat yourself (... or your date) and get the Tasting Menu.
Halstead PropertyJuly 15, 2011
We visited in December and the view of snow falling on New York while being seated near the fireplace is truly unforgettable. The wine list presented on an iPad was a lovely touch.
MarekMarch 22, 2015
Best tasting menu in NYC (nine courses prix fixe $295, bottle of wine ~$100) http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/dining/reviews/per-se-nyc-restaurant-review.html
BravoNovember 15, 2010
Per Se takes great attention to detail from its menu selections and preparation to its décor design and staff. Not to mention the food is divine. -Lynda Erkiletian, Real Housewives of DC
Alex FishJune 15, 2015
We all know it's expensive, but splurge a little and have dinner here. Worth every penny. Ask your server for a tour of the kitchen
LuxuryManPlanetApril 18, 2012
Be surprised each single day ! The three Michelin stars Chef has never cooked the same dishes since the opening of the restaurant, 8 years ago ! A MUST in creative cuisine...
