ABOUT LE BERNARDIN
Le Bernardin, New York's internationally acclaimed four star seafood restaurant. The restaurant was started in 1972 in Paris by Gilbert and Maguy le Coze and moved to New York in 1986. Dedicated entirely to the cuisine of Gilbert Le Coze, the self-taught chef, it only served fish: fresh, simple and prepared with respect.
In no time, Le Bernardin became renown for setting standards in the cooking of seafood in America. It received its first four star review from the New York Times only three months after opening—that's how much Gilbert's unconventional cooking had taken New Yorkers—and is the only New York four star restaurant that has maintained its status of excellence for more than 20 years. Subsequent reviews have come in 1989, 1995, and 2005 with the same verdict: Four stars.
After the unexpected death of her brother Gilbert in 1994, Maguy Le Coze has presided over Le Bernardin with co-owner, Chef Eric Ripert. Ripert has worked in some of the world's greatest kitchens, and under his watch, the restaurant continues to receive critical acclaim for its food and service, including top rankings in the Zagat guide and since 2005, the much coveted award of three Michelin stars. The restaurant has received numerous James Beard Awards, since 1998, including those for Outstanding Service, Outstanding Chef, and Outstanding Pastry Chef.

Wait time
-the service are slow
e.g customer complain
When we sat, it took 10 minutes before anyone gave us a menu – and we had to flag someone down to get it. Then, the sommelier took another 15 minutes to show up to our table and was very difficult to get a hold of all night (there were 3-4 sommeliers there too).
