This elegant dining room overlooking Central Park in the Time Warner Center remains an essential experience in New York, even for Sam Sifton, who chose the restaurant for his final review as The New York Times' restaurant critic — giving it four stars. Per Se upholds the standards set by Thomas Keller at The French Laundry, winning a James Beard Award in 2011 for Outstanding Service and receiving an annual three-star rating from Michelin since 2006. Eli Kaimeh took over as chef de cuisine in 2010 after Jonathan Benno left, and the transition was nothing short of seamless. The $295 chef's tasting menu ranges from the Keller classic "oysters and pearls" (made famous at his Napa Valley restaurant The French Laundry) to poached pear and hibiscus financier, with everything from butter-poached Nova Scotia lobster with pommes Maxims to Red Cloud caraway spätzle with sunchokes and tomato marmalade along the way. — Arthur Bovino

If truffles are on the menu, go for it. I was amazed at the volume of stinky tuber that was shaved onto our rigatini.

Get the desserts, by pastry chef Elwyn Boyles, and savor every second of these delectable concoctions. The five-course tasting menu created by Boyles himself should be your prime consideration.
