"Eric Ripert’s temple of fine dining has held a rare four-star status since 1986, the year it opened, from the New York Times. The classic French restaurant celebrates seafood, with a $350 dinner tasting menu that includes hamachi, shrimp from Montauk, salmon caviar, and grilled hiramasa. Lunch is a prix-fixe menu of three courses for $130." - Robert Sietsema
