It was my husband’s 40rh birthday. They surprised us all the time. Amazing.

Per Se exceeded my expectations. The experience is worth the price. I hope to dine at Per Se again sometime.

For me this is “destination” dinning. I go to NY often and it’s nice to experience the top restaurants once in a while. This was semi short notice so the only time available was for Lunch on Saturday. Everything about the restaurant was super outstanding, especially the service, which is becoming rated these days. Unfortunately we were next to a table, they’re not that close, of four that included a 12-13 year old boy. It’s not that children are bad, it’s the failed parenting strategies that have forgotten about the seldom seen and never heard theories of children in upscale public places. I wish they would have a grown up only policy.

This is a dining establishment beyond compare. Prepare to be pampered while you take in view of the NY skyline and relax in the glow of the fireplace. All waiters are graduates of a culinary school who will help you create the dining experience of a lifetime. 12 plates and an assortment of desserts are served to order at your leisure. The cuisine is original, and diverse with flavors that coax and tease the taste buds. The quality of ingredients is unrivaled; so much so that "Bread and Butter" is an entree - "A smoked Paprika 'Parker House Roll' served with Diane St Clair's Animal Farm Butter." Diane has 10 cows that she milks and hand churns the butter.

No detail is left to chance. All chairs that are not required are removed from the table (before you arrive) so as not to disturb the intimacy. There are as many servers as there are guests who move stealthily to present your next palate-stimulating tasting.

No matter your requirements (allergies, vegan, etc) Chef Keller and his staff will ensure that you literally have the meal of a lifetime.

We had easily one of the best meals we have ever had at Per Se. The tasting menu was incredibly well put together. Each course seemed to improve upon the one before it. The service was even better, with very attentive (but unintrusive) staff who took care to explain the dishes and get to know us throughout the dinner. The pace was prompt, without being rushed and worked through the menu in just about two hours. Capped off our experience with a kitchen tour and personal compliments to the chefs.

Can’t recommend Per Se enough!

Amazing! There are Michelin restaurants and then there is a Per Se.

It is quite refreshing to enter a restaurant in NYC and have it meet your expectations. Per se did exactly that. The staff made us feel comfortable from the beginning, there was nothing rushed. The view of central park was simple and beautiful. Now the food, memorable, had a range of flavors in every dish, and also thankfully left us full and happy.

I need to say Awesome service, every lovely server treat us like a friend!
awesome food, both me n my husband love it, hope coming back again!

One of the great experiences in my life that I will remember for evermore.
It exceeded my expectations and I am so happy that I was able to get a
reservation.

Lovely food, ambiance and service

Dining at Per Se is really beyond words. It's an experience where 12 or 13 delicious, delicate and melt in your mouth courses are presented in a huge variety of plates, bowls and vessels of all kinds by young men and women who seem to appreciate being a part of the experience with you. The fabulous three-hour treat was not stuffy but very fun. Taking a tour of the kitchen and wine cellar afterwards was a double treat!

It was amazing. Food, service and ambiance were 5 Star.

With 3 Michelin Stars and already haven visited French Laundry, another Thomas Keller restaurant, I had high expectations for Per Se. And my expectations were met! Stunning, dramatic, yet classy ambience, spotless professional service, creative and delicious cuisine. Just a very special night and experience with friends.

This was my first experience at Per Se and I was so excited to go! My husband and I are junkies for Michelin Star restaurants and this was at the top of our list. Definitely met every expectation of a Michelin rated restaurant.

Holy guacamole! Chef Keller clearly pays attention to detail as every dish is specially curated. This ain’t yo’ mommas cookin’! Grab your napkin and hold on to your britches because there ain’t no stopping when you’re on this food train.

Fantastic for a special date or occasion

Besser gehts nicht ! Essen und Service einfach nur perfekt.

simply incredible!!!

Still one of the greatest spots in NYC. Bill maybe be a bit high but great memories are priceless! Every dish was a hit and the ambience was amazing. Very comfortable and enjoyable experience. Def get the supplements.

From start to finish our experience was flawless.

Amazing food and amazing service. Truly spot on. I do not think there could have been anything improved upon. Laurel provided a very memorable experience.

Tyler the Maitre d' elevated our experience like no other restaurant we've ever been to. From helpful insider tips on other food NYC hangouts, to staying at the table for casual conversation, to a one-of-a-kind full tour of the kitchen, he was absolutely incredible. We loved every minute of our stay at Per Se and found it even better than its sister, French Laundry. All four of us would rate it as one of the best dining experiences we have ever had.

Celebrating my wife’s birthday. Fantastic food and everything along the way. They have everything thought out from drinks to food it was sublime

Excellent food experience, courteous service, quiet and comfortable environment, food is missed. It is worth going to many times!

Loved it. Top 10 ever

We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary with a trip to New York and a degustation dinner at Per Se. Our expectations for the dinner were high going in and Per Se exceeded them. The food was phenomenal, the service was attentive and the whole occasion just truly memorable.

This was by far one of the most amazing dining experiences I have ever had. The food was just incredible; but, the service and the experience were amazing as well. Of particular note, was that we arrived with our 12 year old son and the restaurant staff from the front entrance and throughout the evening were so amazingly friendly and attentive to him as well as to us. It made for a truly wonderful dining experience that we will never forget.

Amazing everything which is not surprising for a Michelin 3 star restaurant but in terms of value I think the vegetarian/pescetarian menus should be priced as high/represent the same value as the standard tasting menu. However overall one of best meals I’ve ever had!

Excellent attentive service from beginning to end. Complementary champagne to help us celebrate our special occasion to tour of the kitchen in the end, dining at Per Se is an experience, not just dining.

Our night at Per Se was the result of a gift from my in-laws for my partner's and my birthdays. Lucy us! It was beyond lovely. We were treated at every moment with a level of service and care that I've not experienced before. From the blubbly beverage we were greeted with...to the food of every course (I want to call out the vegetarian tasting as particularly unbelievable, in its creativity and deliciousness)...including the descriptions of each course...the wine selections....to the 10-course dessert experience that I could not believe was before us...to the special house-made chocolate hugs and kisses that said "happy anniversary!"...to our exit, which put a gift bag of treats to enjoy at home. It was a gorgeous and memorable evening that we will be talking about for years.

Such a personal feel. Sensational.

Fine dining at its best. We had a great time celebrating our son’s birthday. Can’t ask for more. Our special treat a kitchen tour by the maitre d was exceptional. It was the 1st fine dining of our guest and she said it was an unforgettable experience. 😊

Amazing service , food so delicious also beautiful place

Wonderful service and delicious food. Amazing and exceeded our expectations.

I’ve luckily been to many of the top-rated restaurants in the USA and Europe, almost always with a tiny edge of disappointment. My experience at PER SE reduced those memories to ashes. It was in all respects superb. As soon as my eye lit on some element of the decor, a staff member unobtrusively arrived to explain its floral composition, or its forest source, or Adam Tihany’s witty instructions etched into the lamp shade. Each course arrived on porcelain that seemed elegantly designed for that food presentation only. I ate the carnivores menu; my guest had the vegetarian. At the end of each course, we’d say “Best ever,” until the next arrived and they upped the ante. Not only the variety but the enchanting color combinations enthralled. In short: impeccable service, exciting food.

And here is another point: we were two women dining. I’ve often experienced inferior even condescending service at top restaurants from servers who prefer male clients. I noticed several women servers at PER SE. All servers were charming and none were unctuous.

It was lovely, a thoroughly happy satisfaction to all senses.

Expensive as hell and totally worth it !!! Completely justified all the hype and praise I have read over the years. Food was exceptional - exquisitely presented and delicious. Although the meal was a 9 course tasting menu we felt very comfortable at the end - satisfied but not stuffed. The dining room ambience was elegant and warm. Tables well spaced apart. Service was formal but extremely knowledgeable, and also friendly and personable - the ideal mix.
The wine list has massive markups but a broad and interesting selection - including a wide range of half bottles which is not so common. Per Se is everything a top flight restaurant should be - Bravo !

3star Michelin-say no more everything that you can expect from the highest accolade In guide Michelin

Impeccable experience.

The food is wonderful — for sure — and the service is literally impressive. Beside basic practices, Per Se prints birthday blessing on its menu the captain handwrites his greeting on it.

Would recommend the add-on of truffle and foie gras.

In a word - amazing. We had to try Per Se so we could compare it to Thomas Keller's other Michelin 3 Star restaurant The French Laundry. They are equal in every aspect. Per Se is a must visit experience for anyone in NYC who wants a truly memorable dining experience. The wine pairing was the perfect accompaniment to the exquisite culinary creations.

A lot of surprise! Best experience!
