  1. They list the lounge menu with the others at about 5pm daily. http://perseny.com/
  2. Oh crap, they're changing again! Just when I was trying to save some money (and lose a few pounds)...I haven't gone since the LAST change, aargh and oo! http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/28/dining/eleven-madison-park-is-changing-things-up.html?_r=2&smid=tw-nytimesdining&seid=auto

    I'm sorry you weren't as blown away as I have been. Here's my "album" of my last visit in April: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150967267623406.419638.705843405&type=3&l=59f21e56bd

    I went again in late April and it was Better Than Ever (more later).
  5. So Pete Wells follows his New York Times predecessors with another 4-star review. I guess I'll try going there one more time...
  6. And??? I haven't been since the first few months, I'm wondering if you had a great time.

    Ha, i wish I could afford to go more than twice a year! I was there Monday and had an even More amazing time than my other 15 visits. All newer dishes (only two Classics with new accompaniments). I'll post more when I have some time.

    Well perhaps Sam Sifton's 4 star review in Wednesday's Times will provide enough proof of our non-disappointment.
  10. I'm itching to go, I wish I was friend or family!!
  11. Thanks for this, I have to go some time (by myself, sadly).
  12. 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.
  13. No thoughts about Frankie & Johnnie's?
  14. I'm sorry about you and your wife's experience, wc. I'm convinced that it's a place where one should feel honored to be allowed in as opposed to other high quality restaurants that make you feel that *they* are honored to serve you.

    Yes, maybe it was a mistake, I've only seen it on 4/10. Not that I would want such a thing. Once again #10 on S Pellegrino's 50 Best Restaurants in the World, congratulations!

    I'm sorry that you didn't have a better time at PerSe. This is a place that is indeed an experience, a place to feast and indeed over indulge--BUT not enough to feel bloated. When I go I make sure to have a little something only in the morning to get ready (I also don't go for other cuisine in the same week but that's me). Yeah, they do add on for the foie gras supplement because it is so expensive--and worth every penny to me. Once you start getting the handmade chocolates, these are all meant to be little snippets of taste depending on your preferences; they fully expect you to ask for some to take with you as you go. I'm always tempted to ask for a full set of the chocolates but never do. Hmm, I notice there's now a smaller tasting menu now also available. I can't wait for my 15th trip at the end of this month!
  17. Depends who you talk to, John. I was back in December and it was as wonderful as ever.
  18. NY TIMES: New Rules Impose Systems For Sharing of Tips Will this change how you tip? In the last year, I've made an attempt to tip with cash in at least the finer restaurants. I know that's not much but it's something...
  19. Ouch, Adam Platt 1-Starred the place today. I guess some changes will be in place when I go Wednesday... Benno's Italian hits too many off notes
  20. Per Se is always awesome: the best in the city!!
  21. Mmmmm, I may have to have that when I go back in three weeks.
  22. Yes, I agree, try WD-50, you'll have fun! And of course, mentioning your fish allergy ahead will be appreciated by the kitchen. Great blog too--I'm really envious/jealous of that picture of you with Thomas Keller!
  23. That makes sense, LPS. I'm still hoping for three stars for them.
  24. Good, just the kind of answer I was hoping for. Four times in three weeks??? I'm extremely envious (your wallet and exercise schedule included)!!! I guess I shouldn't whine since I do go three-four times a year...
