FYI, the salmon spread is called salmon rillette... Poached salmon with lemon, herbs, usually butter/sour cream/ mayonnaise or some combination thereof. Basically a better version of butter that you spread on bread as a canape.

@SeraphimLeo

2 ай бұрын

UA was served a weird one though, since rillette is a medieval way of preserving meat by coating it in butter, not sure I would want a rillette to be made with mayonnaise. Due to its own overpowering flavor it's hard to elevate mayonnaise in the same way that butter can be elevated. Dishes that are heavy on mayonnaise rarely tend to be more than the sum of their parts whereas herb butters can be fantastically complex. So I can understand why UA was underwhelmed by salmon in mayonnaise.

Love your show, have been watching while recovering from knee surgery. You are a fantastic food reviewer! You really make my day!!

Been waiting for this! Next Jean George’s

It's called a TASTING menu that's why it's little, because your going to keep getting more dishes !!!

I went for lunch there in 2015. It was very chic and they gave me a banquette seat table for 2 people which was great. I love that the sommeliers have a wine tasting cup hanging on a chain around their neck!! It was $90 for lunch and the tuna and foie gras was my favourite dish.

11:07 “like edible paint” is the funniest most accurate description of a fine dining sauce I’ve ever heard. That’s brilliant

It’s not my cup of tea for 130 bucks but I’m glad you enjoyed it. Great video!

Thanks for the review, UA! I've eaten here a handful of times, and always enjoyed. The quality of their dishes is second to none in the seafood world, and I try to enjoy it at least once a year.

If I was a waiter and saw that face after trying I would be like "oh oh" lol

There was a whole lot of eye squinting going on at Le Bernardin. The food looked amazing! Liked your new duds, too.👍

Brilliant content so subscribed from South Wales uk reviews are fantastic and privilege to see world class fod thankyou.

Salmon would have been the last thing i would order there but your squinting may change my mind. And how can you expect large portions?

Now this is a good review sir !!

Thanks for taking us to Le Bernardin in New York. I guess the price is on par with any Michelin restaurants in Manhattan. I would like to suggest that you try Les Grands Buffet in Narbonne, France and according to Tim Lee who's a food vlogger, it is the best buffet restaurant in the world. I haven't been there but it is on my bucket list. The price for the buffet is around $70 which is absolutely amazing. One can't possibly eat everything offered in one sitting, so you may have to visit a couple of times or may be more.

First off #1. I found the piano splashes presented upon UA's new music to be quite accordingly & elegant 👍 #2. The octopus with Chorizo sauce looked intriguing. I'd DEF would want to try that salmon in the truffle sauce & the chocolate dessert looked decadent !

Wow, UA is going upscale today; no ribs and brisket meals served here. That's a great great restaurant, enjoy! 😊

Meat and potato guy visits joint and gets no meat and no potato. Pretty good review, considering that significant handicap.

Nice review, glad you could get that video in... For that price they should hold the camera for you😅... Too bad the better the food the smaller the portions

Do you go for a couple of slices of pizza after that?

Let Bernardin is one of my fave restaurants! ❤ looking sharp UA!❤

I can't go often but I have always been very satisfied there...even considering the price.

The pricing was a deal! Remember, you’re paying for the service and environment as well: an orchestral experience, a memory. I’ve been lucky to go to several Michelin starred restaurants but not Le Bernadine yet.

But a restaurant would charge you 300$ for the latter. I can't imagine not being able to cook.

The octopus looks legit mouthwatering good

I guess UA is not used to fine dining. Its about the quality, taste and the incredible experience not the portions.

Look pretty much only the one percenters can walk in and order whatever they want . Yes the more you spend the higher quality and more choices you’ll have sometimes the only difference is the dishes will have more and higher quality caviar or large fresh slices of the finest Truffles depending on the time of year and season . But even ordering the least expensive Pice Fix lunch menu with choices and only 3 courses should be able to show the quality and presentation and service of a 3 Michelin Star restaurant. You did a fabulous job reviewing especially keeping your head down for the no video or photography rule which makes sense . They don’t want other restaurants copying their signature dishes and plating and garnishment as well as respecting the privacy of their extremely high class under the radar very high net worth and celebrity clientele.
