Per Se

Per Se is a three-Michelin-starred restaurant located in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, the New York flagship of chef Thomas Keller — one of the most influential and decorated American chefs of his generation, whose French Laundry in Napa Valley set the standard for American fine dining in the 1990s. Per Se offers a similar level of ambition and accomplishment in New York, presenting two nine-course tasting menus — a chef’s tasting menu and a seasonal vegetables menu — that change daily and reflect Keller’s fundamental culinary philosophy: the pursuit of perfection through precise repetition, seasonal sourcing, and a classical French technique applied to the finest American and imported ingredients. The composition of each dish is meticulous, the execution consistent and assured, and the overall sequence of courses designed to create a cumulative experience of growing depth and pleasure. The dining room overlooks Central Park through floor-to-ceiling windows — a panoramic setting of genuine beauty that contributes to the sense of occasion. Service is exceptionally professional, warm, and attentive. Per Se has held three Michelin stars since the inaugural New York guide and remains one of the most prestigious dining experiences in the United States.
