Concierge "If this very grown-up Midtown place remains the one to beat despite astronomical prices and what many consider a too-sedate corporate decor, it's because of Ripert's always-evolving menu."
Fodor's "There's no beating Le Bernardin for thrilling cuisine, seafood or otherwise." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The two testing menus are popular and include exotic entrees such as Crispy Black Bass served with mini pork buns." Full review
Zagat4.9
"Dining doesn't get much more "blissful" than at this "sublime" Midtown French seafooder via Maguy Le Coze and chef Eric Ripert." Full review
BlackBook "Eric Ripert is more likely to be globetrotting than preparing the orange vinaigrette that tops your warm lobster carpaccio, but seasoned staff knows its way around the fruits of the sea."
DK Eyewitness "A dream-come-true for seafood- and fish-lovers. This superb and elegant longstanding restaurant offers an outstanding dining experience with French haute cuisine from chef Eric Ripert."
New York Magazine Critic's Pick
"The dishes are still divided into Ripert’s sacred categories (Almost Raw, Barely Touched, Lightly Cooked), and the best of them are still worth the price of admission." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"The most reviewed seafood restaurant in the United States, serving incomparable new angles on traditional Brittany fish dishes in elegant surroundings."
Time Out "Siblings Gilbert and Maguy Le Coze brought their Parisian eatery to Gotham in 1986, and the restaurant has maintained its reputation in the decades since." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 5 Stars
"It’s hard to keep food in your mouth when your jaw keeps dropping in awe. And awestruck you’ll be at chef Eric Ripert’s skilled transformation of everything that swims into his pristine dishes." Full review

Concierge "The pricey, French-influenced menus are strictly big city....A notorious perfectionist, Keller devises small-bite tasting menus that include plenty of lavish ingredients."
Fodor's "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." Full review
Travel + Leisure "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." Full review
Zagat ""Unpretentious perfection" starts with the "superb" nine-course tasting menu at chef Thomas Keller's "flawless" French–New American in the Time Warner Center." Full review
BlackBook "Discreet and intimate, with stunning attention to detail by Thomas Keller of Napa Valley's much-revered French Laundry."
DK Eyewitness "Call at least two months in advance to score a seat in the critically acclaimed restaurant from Thomas Keller of California’s French Laundry fame."
Michelin Guide 3 Stars
"Rightly recognized as one of the world's finest restaurants, Per Se is nothing short of spectacular." Full review
Gayot19.0
"The gorgeous flavor combinations, like Atlantic halibut, 'Pommes Duchesse,' pickled Persian cucumbers, cipollini onions and smoked Meyer lemon emulsion, steal the show." Full review
Village Voice "For those cynical about indulging in successive plates of sweets, Boyles puts a lot of thought into tweaking menus that won't rush at you with sugar." Full review
New York Times "So this is the best restaurant in New York City: Per Se, in the Time Warner Center, just up the escalator from the mall, a jewel amid the zirconia." Full review
