Has anyone been to Le Bernardin?

I've eaten at Le Bernardin, Eleven Madison Park, Daniel, River Cafe and Gabriel Kreuther. All have multiple Michelin stars except for River Cafe which has one star. All were excellent experiences, but I rank the meal I had at Le Bernardin the highest.

You better have really deep pockets if you're going to Masa. I think it's like around $800 a head.

Glad someone mentioned one of my lunch favs.

Le B is a great experience. Had a dish there and had enough wine to ask the chef for the sauce recipe. Without hesitation the waiter brought it to me written on back that night's menu.

Ai Fiori and Marea are awesome italian places. Took my family to Fiori when my daughter was 9. They treated her like royalty and made her the finest F-ing sgetti n meatballs I've ever had! And my octopus was so tender she loved that too.

Gramercy Tavern is great for lunch or dinner; go to Balthazar for brunch.

Anyone have a recommendation for an old school Italian spot in NYC? Going next week want something good, but old school vs Fancy

They didn’t ask for this, but I want them to experience what food can be at this level.
