NYC restaurants
Posted by Civildawg on 1/22/18 at 8:32 pm11
I will be traveling to NYC this summer for vacation. I would like do go to a fine dining place one night. Anyone have recommendations? Seems like Daniels is one of the better ones

My favorite fine dining restaurant in NYC is Eleven Madison Park. Second would be Jean Georges in the Trump Hotel at the corner of Central Park.

Although Jean George just recently lost its 3rd star I’d highly recommend the experience.
Eleven Madison Park just recently reopened. so if the menu suits you I’d suggest attempting recommendation as far in advance as possible.. and let’s us know how the $24 coffee is

I had one of the best meals of my life at Le Coucou.

Per Se but be prepared to spend at least $340 per person on the menu- without picking supplements. You could go there for lunch to ease the impact on the pocket book.

Agreed. It was about $500 per person after tasting menu, wine pairing and tip for Le Bernardin

If you like Japanese, Zenkichi in Williamsburg is fantastic.
Eleven Madison Park or Le Bernardin are clear choices.
For what it is worth, Daniel (which recently lost its 3rd star) is fairly reasonable (I believe the least expensive of the 3-star price fixe (I still consider it close to 3-star, only lost it a year ago)), especially if you do the 4-course option. You may have to sit in the Lounge instead of the main dining room though if you do not do the 7-course. You can easily get out under $500.00. I have not been to Daniel for several years, but I greatly enjoyed my last experience there. It is not as cutting edge or creative or innovative as some of the other 3-star options, but it is certainly fine dining.

Well, you don’t have to get the tasting menu and wine tasting. We went for everything they offered since we don’t do that sort of thing...ever. And figured it would be fun to do something like that once. It was the most expensive.
A regular entree and a glass of wine or two would be considerably less and under $500 total.

Go to Le Bernardin. Get there when they open and sit at the bar. If you're with a date, split a tasting menu. They will do that for you, it's enough food and it keeps the cost down. I think it's consistently the best restaurant in New York. The lounge/bar doesn't take reservations, but it makes Le Bernardin the most accessible Michelin three star restaurant in NY (if not the world) simply because you can walk in and sit down and order off the main dining room menu. The alternative is calling two months in advance or whatever to hope to get a reservation. I used to eat lunch there regularly in the lounge because it's accessible. Having said that, if you are with someone, sit at the bar because most of the tables in the lounge have these brutally uncomfortable chairs. It's my favorite restaurant, and I don't even really like seafood. Every meal I have had there, and I've had dozens, has been perfect.

If I had one place to choose I would go with Le Bernardin.

So just a general question. When you do a wine pairing is it just one glass of wine per person for the entire tasting menu? I’m assuming the sommelier picks the wine for you?

Generally they will do a wine with each course. But let me make a suggestion. A sommelier at a really good restaurant absolutely loves to help people out who may not know a lot about wine. If you talk to them and tell them what you want, just 2-3 glasses or whatever, and how much you want to spend, they will probably work with you to get you something you will enjoy and something you feel comfortable with. I drink a lot of wine but I almost always talk to the sommelier about what I'm going to eat, what they think and what I want to spend. They rarely steer you wrong. And if you go to Le Bernardin, they have a fantastic wine program. The head sommelier, Aldo Sohm, is a celebrity in his own right and all the staff is happy to help you out. So don't be afraid to talk to them and tell them what you want!
