Le Bernardin, Gramercy Tavern, Daniel top Zagat
Zagat today released its 2006 guide to New York City restaurants, awarding top rankings to spots to Le Bernardin, Gramercy Tavern, Daniel and posh newcomer Per Se, which garnered the highest overall average of food, decor and service scores.
Other top newcomers cited by Zagat are devi, The Modern, Alto, BLT Prime, Perry Street and Nobu 57.
French food tops the Zagat lists, occupying five of the 10 top food slots, (Le Bernardin, Daniel, Bouley, per se and Jean Georges,) while Japanese cuisine takes five of the top 20 rankings (Sushi Yasuda, Nobu, Sushi of Gari, Masa and Tomoe Sushi.)
New York is the most expensive restaurant city in the country, with the average meal hitting $37.61, only 0.4 percent higher than a year ago. But Zagat reports the city also leads the country in sheers numbers of "informal, modestly priced restaurants."
Top complaints from those surveyed? Poor service and noise.
