Thankfully, there are plenty of fish in the sea for innovative chef Eric Ripert, who has been upholding the original vision of the late Gilbert Le Coze, founder of this temple to seafood, with current manager Maguy Le Coze, Gilbert's sister. Minimalist and coûte très cher, the experience of Le Bernardin is beyond words or dollars.

Reviews of the Week

Saddle Peak Lodge near Los Angeles feels like a mountain retreat with its rustic fireplaces, antlered animal heads and game-focused fare. Talay in New York City offers a fusion of Thai and Latin cuisines, while San Francisco's Orson features an eclectic seasonal menu and unique desserts like the maple-bacon ice cream sandwich.
