Inside New York’s ICONIC Seafood Restaurant - Le Bernardin (3 Michelin Star)

Its embarrassing how much I look forward to these.

Absolutely NO ONE does a better job of putting together content about fine dining. Your knowledge of the food and especially the wines is so critical to making your videos immersive. Please keep putting these together and THANK YOU! ❤❤❤

Nice accurate review! I’ve ate at La Bernardin twice a month for over ten years. I always have lunch or dinner (however my schedule allows) when in NY on business. Every time is magical and truly memorable. I’m glad you commented on updating the restaurant and table-wear. A restaurant of this stature should be updated more often.

Hi Alex, im from Zwolle, which is in the Netherlands. We have a lovely restaurant called: De Librije. The restaurant has 3 Michelin stars. Please stop by and give your review! Would love to see the video.

Another great video! I enjoy the intro, footage of the area, history of the restaurant, the personal touch of not finding the restaurant, and even your honest reporting of the initial problem with the waiter! Plus, you don't give away whether or not you like it right away!

Honestly… I don’t think my pallet is advanced enough to appreciate the levels and complexity of flavors in a lot of the dishes I see on this channel.. but I feel like I get to enjoy them through these videos! Much love keep up the great work!

Love Eric Ripert, especially all of his TV episodes/specials with Anthony Bourdain (RIP).

I love to live vicariously through these. Maybe one day.

Hey alex! I have a suggestion. Here in Brasil theres a restaurant called DOM. Its an amazing restaurant that serves great dishes that are very loyal to Brazilian culture and ingredients. It has 2 Michelin stars, and it would be awesome to see a review in your channel. Big hugs from Brasil!

Great review. Le Bernardin should really consider altering how they initially present the wine options. If the somm was being honest about this process creating confusion a lot, it means change is clearly needed to meet guest expectations and I'm sure they're staffed very well to execute this change.

Excellent job on the review. It's critically important how you are able to notice the triumphs and failures at every phase of the experience. A worse reviewer would just say that they loved it or hated it, but to be able to describe the nuances in food and service is very valuable either as a customer or employee of the business. You're offering a ton of value in your review, for everyone.

The 2 glasses of bollinger were nearly as much as the wine pairing that's absurd 🤣

The honest review is the most important part of why I look forward to the vlogs.

This is as close as I'll ever get to one of these places, and I absolutely love watching you take us through it. Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE this review, you are spot on. The dishes look pretty simple compared to alot of 3 Michelin star restaurants today where everything needs to be crazy, surprising with fireworks and twists. This seems to be about the flavours, I guess they have perfected classic french cooking over decades. Amazing!

I remember even Bourdain years ago commenting on how much understanding Eric has when it comes to food and wine pairings. Great to see you review his restaraunt!

Great review as always Alex! I was interested how you were going to interpret your experience at Le Bernardin, because I had one of the great meals of my life there but also believed that the smoothness of service might be a step below some of your other lofty 3 star meals. I am glad that ultimately the quality of the food trumped all else because it truly is remarkable.

I’m in my boxers eating salami slices and living vicariously through this. I don’t know why this is relevant but thanks for the vids.

Excellent review. You add quality, knowledge and passion to the reviews. Awesome!

It’s unfortunate that the silverware, décor and wine pairing issues made the experience a bit rocky. The food however saved the day. I think once a lot of these places earn their stripes so to speak they can often get complacent on the management side of things. It’s great to see that their kitchen is keeping things sharp, but they really need to update their front of house! Well done on nearly reaching 150k subs Alex and team, well deserved and after only 5 months! Goes to show what you can accomplish with good content and hard work. Please consider visiting Australia, our food scene is really coming into its own.
