Here's our recent dining experience at the 3 star, Le Bernardin in #newyorkcity
We understand our experience during this video might be a little controversial to the vast and fairly consistent raving reviews of Le Bernardin, and its leading ranking, year after year, on almost all fine-dining publications and restaurant lists.
As always, these are our personal opinions and experiences during our dinner. We're here to showcase the meal, while also giving unbiased real-time reactions, to give true insight into these meals. We do appreciate every moment and experience we're able to share, and never take where we are for granted. We also understand this restaurant is celebrated around the world, which is why we chose it and why us, and anyone else who chooses this restaurant based on reviews, should have very high expectations, unfortunately it didn't meet the standard that we've experienced at similarly priced and celebrated restaurants . We were left surprised by the service, plating and the dishes felt like they've been the same for a decade.
Have a restaurant recommendation to share? We're all ears, and would love to add it to our running bucket list!
Thank you so much for watching, we really do appreciate all your support and your feedback and engagement! All the best :)

i found this review more obnoxious than the service could be. Sounds a lot like they didn't like you filming, so you took it out on the review.

I am sorry to say this, but imo it is rude not only to the surrounding diners but to the staff as well to turn a refined dinner experience into a photoshoot.. I think your reviews are thoughtful an enjoyable to watch, but not at the expense of your fellow diners.

If I'm eating at a 3* somewhere I always ask myself "would this be 3* in Paris?" as that's a pretty damn good baseline IMO. Surprisingly, I find many don't actually meet that bar and while Le Bernardin is a really good restaurant, you would think the Michelin inspector was roofied if it was given 3* in Paris (not like they don't have those screwy moments anyways!).

I see some of the comments made by some people. I was one of the sous chefs at Le Bernardin and the kitchen was amazing. They have been a 3 Michelin Star restaurant since 2005. Ive also worked in Lyon France under Pierre Orsi. France is not at top right now. NYC is the culinary capital of the world. Le Bernardin is ranked 26th in the world for a reason.....ENOUGH SAID!!!

I went recently and thought it was exceptional seafood done right, nothing revolutionary but the best classic seafood meal i’ve ever had. The service was excellent and we didn’t get any sense of stuffiness. Ironically the service at CTBF the night before was horrendous and the heat was off at the end of the meal leaving us freezing lol.

Appreciate the honest review. Love your channel

You have to call it like you see it. Hearing your honest reactions is part of what makes the videos enjoyable.
-
Good honest review - I'm your loving your channel more and more!
-
do you think the cold service might have had something to do with you filming? its possible restaurants arent a fan of that
-
I'm visiting tomorrow for my first time. Been looking forward to this for a while now 😊
-
Way to tell it like it is, keep it real. Not every restaurant experience can be great, we need honesty as much as fantasy
-
Awesome video and I’m so glad you guys kept your reviews honest and real regardless of the glares. Im sorry you had a bad experience with the staff there I know that would just ruin my dinner (esp regarding what was said about the expectations and the price of going).
-
I loved your video and your truthful depiction... thanks!
-
I saw UA Eats on YouTube was told he couldn’t film when he reviewed this restaurant. It seems like the manager is not a fan of it
-
love the video and input <3

Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience. I dined at Le Bernardin in 2017 and the service was also hit-and-miss. I think the menu truly reflects (love it or hate it) Chef Ripert's philosophy: The fish is the star (almost to a fault). I think of it like fish Haiku: Tons of thought and care went to it, but at times you look at it and think "that's it?" I'm still processing my meal at Le Bernardin to this day, and it definitely impacts how I cook seafood. But that's why we go try these restaurants, right? Sometimes it may not be fully what you expect, but you get to experience how a chef thinks :)

Yeah i honestly have to agree a bit. I went there on my birthday last year, the service was alright, but I would say the food was maybe a tad lackluster for my taste. I don't know. The flavors are definitely clean and subtle and fresh but they don't give me that special feeling I get when I eat at other Michelin restaurants. I am trying to find a spot to go to for my birthday this year, was thinking atomix but its impossible to get reservations. Maybe you guys have a recommendation? Also I love the videos keep up the hard work I'm sure it isn't easy for you two to make these videos.

I have watched quite a lot of your videos. Your are not only getting better and better but also more and more confident. I really enjoy your critical side. Lots of love from Denmark.

I really appreciate the honesty and the insight into the restaurants history! I really enjoy your channel and I am glad I stumbled upon it recently.
