"Eric Ripert’s temple of fine dining has held a rare four-star status since it opened in 1986 from the New York Times. The classic French restaurant is a celebration of seafood, with a tasting menu that includes yellowfin tuna, sea urchin, Dover sole, and halibut. And yes, there is a vegetarian tasting menu that rivals the pescatarian one, centered on truffles with courses such as artichokes, leeks, and mushrooms." - Eater Staff
