if you're passive to go high-end, i think hands-down it's Le Bernardin. It's one of the best restaurants in NY with a strong focus on seafood--innovative preparation with top-knotch ingredients. While he has branched out into a broader group of protein at Le Bernardin, Chef Ripert is well known for his exquisite ability with fish. Grounded in French craft, but lots of Latin and Japanese influences, Ripert is particularly a master of raw and barely cooked seafood...fabulous.

Attractive Looking Seafood And Steak Restaurant In New York City?
Dec 14, 2008 by Chantal P | Posted in New York City
I'm looking for a restaurant in manhattan ( new york urban district ) that has really good seafood and steak but is also really nice looking being that I love to dress up ... so I'm basically looking for a fantabulous restaurant with really good seafood and steak. I find that most of the places here in nyc that have good food aren't good looking but the tolerable looking places have horrible food lol so umm if you know any that fit what i'm looking for please answer =]
Le Bernardin
155 W 51st St , New York , NY , 10019
Revered old-family French favorite dishes out elegant seafood with class and consistency.
Editorial Review for Le Bernardin – by Allison Austin
The Spot
Teak ceilings soar above well-spaced tables appointed with caramel leather chairs; the ritual Asian accent provides color and flair. And while a few serious food-lovers may be spotted, perhaps at corner tables, it's solicitation-and-tie businessmen that abound, sealing deals over efficiently paced tasting menus. Competent servers keep things flowing effortlessly, if somewhat humorlessly.
The Food
Chef Eric Ripert's French seafood is expertly cooked. Escolar is poached in olive oil until exquisitely compensation; barely cooked scallops, prawns and clams happily loll in a decadent, buttery condiment topped with sea urchin and caviar. A flight of four fluke ceviches is equally intriguing. But the knockouts unbiased barely outnumber the less-inspired dishes, such as salmon carpaccio out-muscled by its yuzu accompaniment, and a similarly unequal dish of lobster and bacon-laced sauerkraut. Desserts, however, don't disappoint, particularly the tap chocolate-caramel egg with a wisp of sea salt.
Where Are Some Very Upscale Bars, The Best Steakhouse & Seafood In NYC Preferably Closer To Manhattan Area?
Nov 18, 2009 by black barbie | Posted in New York City
My boyfriend and i are visiting NYC this weekend. We are looking for the vanquish steakhouse and the best seafood restaurant in the Manhattan area. We are also looking for some very upscale bars preferably in the Manhattan Area? We like to hem in ourselves around more sophisticated people. There are so many upscale bars in New York but one things for sure, we are not looking to be around people in their 20s. We would like the median age to be around 40. As far as cocktail and access prices that's not an issue as long as its a good place. Thanks for your help!
Dinner at Smith & Wollensky and drinks and spectacular at the Cafe Carlysle, definitely! Both are in Manhattan, both are world-famous, and both are exactly what you're looking for. Enjoy!

I'm looking for a restaurant with healthy/fresh seafood (especially lobster) either in Brookyln of Manhattan. Not a super fancy place, family heavens. Any ideas?

City Crab place is an old performance by, family-type atmosphere. Food is pretty good. www.citycrabnyc.com
Mary's Fish Faction is supposed to be good, though I've never been: http://www.marysfishcamp.com/ (i believe they have a Brooklyn location too). Clam barrier/bar type atmosphere
Awesome lobster rolls at Pearl Oyster Bar: http://www.pearloysterbar.com/ and also at Mermaid Inn (http://www.themermaidnyc.com/mermaid.htm l). Prize is in West Village, while Mermaid Inn is in East Village.
The 6th assuredly of the tasting menu at wd~50 was a Tai snapper, with onion tart, coffee, cucumber and asian pear.
wd~50, located at 50 Clinton Concourse, was opened in 2003 by Wylie Dufresne, the former chef at Jean Georges. Named for the chef's initials and the drive address,...
