We're not paying you 200 bucks a head. Your nastiness comes free-of-charge, my sweets! It's much more tolerable that way!
Here are a couple of reviews--not written by me:
1. Over the years, we have eaten at Le Bernardin numerous times. Whereas in numerous NYC restaurants we are warmly welcomed,( such as Daniel, La Grenouille and Jean-Georges as well as neighborhood places such as Pearls Oyster Bar and Gennaro's) we always had a stiff, almost corporate greeting at Le Bernardin. But the food was excellent and we never felt that we needed to be treated like old friends in order to enjoy dining there. But the latest (and LAST) time we dined there (in the company of our two adult children (who have dined in fine restaurants all over the world and have impeccable manners), we were rushed through dinner in one hour flat. Not only that, the waiter rolled his eyes and sighed impatiently while taking our order. It was by far the worst experience we have ever had in a fine restaurant. NOTHING would induce us to return.
2. I never cared for this place. Rush-rush service is probably the main problem I have with the place, also the overbearing staff hovering over you...so annoying. I think there are way too many better choices in the city then to dine here. One night, we were told to have a seat on the lounge chairs, so we did, and ordered a drink. Within less than 5 minutes the hostess said she would seat us right now, when we told her we just ordered cocktails, and wanted to enjoy them first, she got annoyed. (Rolled her eyes to be exact.)
We should have just left then, but we stayed and had a mediocre meal. I have been here 3 times, hoping each would be better..not happening.
