All I can say is I've been to Le Bernardin three different times in the last five years and each time I was made to feel like a second class citizen. The food either came out wrong or cold--or didn't come out at all. The staff appeared to be more interested in other parties in the room (I was solo). It's certainly different to my other experiences at PerSe, La Grenouille, Jean Georges, Adour, Eleven Madison Park, Annisa, Picholine, Ai Fiori and Marea among others.
