An unforgettable dining experience at Per Se, and one that truly lives up to every one of its three Michelin stars.
From the moment you step into the main dining room, you’re immersed in elegance, a beautiful, serene setting overlooking the park, elevated further by the warm glow of the fireplace that creates an inviting and refined ambiance.
The tasting menu offered both vegetarian and meat/fish options. I chose the vegetarian menu, and it was hands down the most delicious tasting menu I’ve had in a long time. Every dish was thoughtful, balanced, and impeccably executed. The mushroom pie was absolutely out of this world- a luxurious blend of exotic mushrooms, seared to perfection, rich yet incredibly refined. The Doppio Agnolotti with butternut squash emulsion and chestnut confit was a standout as well, a flawless combination of sweetness, depth, and texture.
The meat menu was equally impressive. The perfectly seared Mediterranean Lubina and the delicately cooked farmed venison showcased remarkable technique and flavor, leaving nothing to be desired.
Service elevated the experience even further. Samantha, our server, was exceptional- warm, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable about every dish, making the meal feel both personal and seamless.
Per Se is truly worthy of each and every star. A flawless culinary journey from start to finish, and an experience I will remember for a long time to come.
Had such a wonderful experience at Per Se! We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here and everything made the night feel so special. The food was amazing, beautifully presented, and every course felt very thoughtful.
The service was also incredible — everyone was so attentive, warm, and welcoming throughout the dinner. Definitely one of the nicest dining experiences we’ve had in NYC!❤️
Absolutely incredible. I was alone as a “regular” person. Service was amazing. The food was absolutely incredible. The signature oysters and pearls is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The gentleman who did the wine pairings was so personable and educational without being pretentious or snobby. I loved every minute of this experience.
Had the opportunity to visit Per Se for an executive dinner with a small group. One of the biggest strengths of this place is its outstanding location and ambiance. The service was excellent, and the team took great care of us throughout the evening. The food presentation, quality, and detailed explanations from the staff were exceptional and reflected the restaurant’s fine dining standards. While the overall experience was memorable, there is still some room to enhance the taste profile of a few dishes, which could make the experience even more appealing to a wider audience.
I can't imagine a much more opulent and elegant way to welcome the New Year. It is said, that you should welcome the new year in the way you would like your Year to be. Cheers to being off to a magnificent start! We also decided to do the recommended wine pairing which was a fantastic choice! Each dish was artfully created.
Admittedly, one of my favorite aspects was the very thoughtfully curated gift bag we were sent home with. What a treat to enjoy on New Year's Day! The gift that keeps giving!
