I came here with a relative who said she "just HAD to try it" Well, I must say, although the wait staff seemed nice, and the room is pretty (if a little dull?), I would have been happier with an appie, an entree and mashed potatoes, and a pudding based dessert. I mean this meal just went on and on! And each portion was small! When the first course arrived and I told the waiter it looked small he just said wait there was a lot ahead. Well, I don't see why they didn't just group the food on a larger plate. My relative loved it, but I left wanting more. Good things she paid!!!

Really great food that is worth the price. Amazing service. Will go back

This place truly lives up to everything you hear. Our waiter, Matt was amazing! We even toured the kicthen after our meal. Course after course of tastings just make this a very memorable night. My only regret is not doing the $100 supplement for the truffle pasta.

Just a word about the last review entitled "Disappointed" - If the reason he/she wants to go anywhere is to be seen or to be able to say " I went to ...." my suggestion is to stay where you are, go to a diner and have a short stack which is probably beyond your culinary range. This way you can make up wherever you want to say you went and you've saved both gas and bridge/tunnel tolls... Went back to Per Se to pick up one of Tom Keller's books for a friend. For the first time went to the Salon area in front. Hardly "bar food" as "Disappointed" described it. It is a great lounge with comfortable couches, military like tables and killer views of Central Park. The food is the same as inside, except you can have a drink and order individual courses. Not cheap, but way less than the extravaganza inside. Had a great five course meal and they added some to it. Incredible and a super way to taste the best in a more casual setting. Service as always fabulous and friendly. Go for it!!! Amities Gourmandes, Ally's dad

Great atmosphere, very unrushed service, unimpressive menu (out of 8 dishes 1 was divine, 2 very poor and the rest just ok); what I really disliked was that at the end they overstuff you with all kinds of extra desserts and chocolates, which is just too much... I've had many expensive wonderful dinners in NYC, which were on the order of $300 for 2. Here we paid more than $800 and honestly I would not have gone back if it was much less than that. Overall I would recommend to perhaps check out their bar menu to try things out, save some cash and still be able to tell people that you went to Per Se. But I do see that most other reviews are very positive, so perhaps my view is a little off...

Absolutely Delicious !! Absolutely !! I do believe I have found heaven !!

This restaurant is simply unparalleled - the food was extraordinary; our every need was met. Not only was everything served delicious, but the presentation was a feast for the eyes as well. Those wishing a lifetime memory should splurge and enjoy every minute of the wonderful experience that comes with eating at Per Se.
