Lonely Planet "New York’s most storied steakhouse (in operation since 1887) serves up an amazingly tender porterhouse cut. Reservations essential; cash or debit card only." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Peter Luger lets the steaks speak for themselves, and it works: the chain, including this tavern-like Williamsburg location, is consistently voted the best steakhouse in NYC." Full review
BlackBook "Defining macho since 1887. Simply put, this is where you eat steak in NYC."
DK Eyewitness "A New York institution serving “the discerning steak connoisseur” since 1887. Try their out-of-this-world meat."

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."

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
