Eleven Madison Park vs Per Se
Both these restaurants are considered among the best in NYC by our expert reviewers from highly lauded publications.. Thomas Keller of French Laundry fame heads Per Se, located at Columbus Circle near Central Park. Danny Meyer’s American fare at Eleven Madison Park is located in the Flatiron district. While Eleven Madison Park boasts of elegant art deco design and soaring windows with a view of Madison Square Park, Per Se’s sophisticated and clean white lines are equally refined and impressive.

"The pricey, French-influenced menus are strictly big city....A notorious perfectionist, Keller devises small-bite tasting menus that include plenty of lavish ingredients."

"The New York interpretation of what many consider America's finest restaurant, Napa Valley's French Laundry, Per Se is chef Thomas Keller's Broadway stage."

"A tasting menu for two at superchef Thomas Keller's plushly impersonal 16-table dining room overlooking Columbus Circle will last three hours and set you back a cool 500 clams."
