French Restaurant · Hell's Kitchen · 197 tips and reviews
Maria Pecoraro: This is not as stuffy of a place as might think. Do ask them to recommend a wine or two to pair with dinner. Well worth it. And ask for a tour of the kitchen because it's amazing!
Stephen Gates: 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.
Colin Lee: 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
