Is Le Bernardin worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Le Bernardin works.

Hushed, plush Midtown dining where impeccable service treats fish with reverence and the tasting menu unfolds for hours. Electric for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration; wrong for anyone craving a casual or budget night.

Price
Prix fixe ~$200+; tasting menus far higher, before wine
