Eating at Per Se. NYC. 3 Michelin Stars. An Amazing 9 Course $390 Tasting Menu

As a single guy, with no kids, no hobbies. I found my next adventure in my 30s.

Some may not understand paying this much money for a meal. They might pay this much for a concert or a sporting event. They are all entertainment.

"Life doesn't last forever and the longer I delay going after what I actually want. The less opportunity I will have to actually achieve what I actually want." I came for the food reviews but stayed for the words of wisdom.

Thank you for breaking the bank for us viewers. The 9-course plus tasting menu including the complimentary Champagne and service fee of $390 is well worth the money.

Being a true foodie and retired chef, great food often makes me feel like crying. Especially when I create something special for my grown up kids, and their faces and comments of surprise are memorable.

James, because of you, and my girlfriend, I finally went to restaurant that cost me around $250.00 called Costera located here in New Orleans. It was by far, the finest meal I ever had. I never thought a beet salad could be so good with mild blue cheese, candied pecans, and sprinkles of mint leaves. I never thought I was going to enjoy a meal so much but my eyes have been opened to fine dining. While I enjoy all your reviews, I must say... this is the first time I've been astonished by the level of service and accommodations a restaurant bestows upon its patrons. I will have to re-watch this review several times.

Thanks for inviting us along. It’s been so great to see you experience the things you truly deserve.

Obviously, a true talent you possess is the skill for writing and verbalizing these wonderful visual experiences just offered. Yes, the well crafted use of words describing in a most endearing & visual manner brings these offerings "alive" & "real" to your viewers. Silly to say, but watching your facial expressions while describing AND enjoying your food allows me to believe that I have joined you for the culinary experience "at hand"! Wow, you make me feel like I just had a meal with you in person! Again silly for me to say! Yet, I will sincerely thank you for such a wonderful review of a "noted" NYC restaurant! Well done! This is Peter; out!

I’ve always had a hard time explaining to people that I love to go out to eat by myself, but finally someone understands! When you do stuff by yourself, you don’t have to worry about the other person, not liking some thing or whether or not they are having a good time or whatever. You can just focus on the experience. Congrats on living your best life and trying things you always wanted to try! 🎉

A 3 star Michelin restaurant must be incredible. It sure looked delicious. Thanks for the review, James!

For me personally, Per Se still ranks as THE most incredible dining experience of my life - this was an amazing review 👏

(PS - it was really nice that you left an additional $40 tip even though service was already included).

Thanks for the look at the other side of the tracks! 😆 Safe Journey! Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha!!!

I love your review style! Your descriptions are warm and thoughtful which help me as the viewer really imagine what the food tastes like and provides a deep insight to the atmosphere of where you are. Can't wait for more!

Amazing review James.. as this video unfolds we realize that this is going to be an extraordinary dining experience. I was stunned at the presentation of the food and the variety of partnering plates and cutlery used. Simply Magic! The services you experienced felt very generous and welcoming. Your love of food made this video that much more special. I am so happy you had the opportunity to experience this sublime meal.

Your smile throughout the whole meal says it all! I'm so happy you were able to indulge in one of your bucket list restaurants. Looking forward to watching you experience many more in the future!

I am so happy for you that you got to experience your dream meal, chef, experience. I am also glad to see/hear you went for it! Thank you for sharing

You're right, you'll never forget that experience no matter how much it cost, and you know that it was totally worth it. I got to have that experience years ago at Le Bec-Fin in Philadelphia a few times, so when I see the newer generation finding that excitement today like I did back then, it's really cool...

Great review, love the passion you bring when narrating your experiences! Keep up the great work, love your videos

Your experience and the presentation actually made me cry. So amazing. Thank you so much sharing.
