 Classic America's "Best Restaurant List"
The Inn at Little Washington, The Inn has been featured in several national and international newspapers including The Washington Post and The New York Times.

It has also received five James Beard Foundation awards including those for Best Service, Best Wine List, Restaurant of the Year, Best Chef in the Mid–Atlantic and Chef of the Year. The International Herald Tribune rated it as one of the Top Ten Best Restaurants in the World. Additionally, the Zagat Survey for Washington, D.C., has rated it as number one in all categories for the past 14 years. Travel & Leisure Magazine has ranked the Inn as the number one hotel in the world for food, the number in the world for service, and the number eight in world and number 2 in North America overall. The Restaurant has been awarded Wine Spectator’s “Grand Award” for the last 12 years. Other distinctions include Cigar Aficionado’s “Grand Cru” award for the restaurant’s wine list, and the “Reader’s Top Table” award in Gourmet’s Restaurant Issue. The restaurant has also made Gayot's list of the Top 40 Restaurants in the U.S. every year since 2004. In 2008 the Inn received a rating of 18/20, one of the highest scores to be awarded.

Per Se,West 60s  New York City, NY  “Fine dining” is alive and well at Thomas Keller’s “otherworldly” aerie in the Time Warner Center, a “destination restaurant if there ever was one”, featuring “wonderfully orchestrated” French–New American meals; granted, the $295 prix fixe charge strikes some as “outlandish”, but à la carte small plates are available in the salon, and there are the added perks of “classic” Central Park views and “second-to-none” service  it’s a “lengthy experience”, but not that expensive on an hourly basis.

best in nyc, if you can afford it
This is by far the #1 resturant in this great food city... Few resturants even come close to the food and experience you will have at Per Se. There are only about 3 other places in NYC that can be mentioned in the sam sentence as Per Se and believe me I have eaten at all of them and it doesn't even come close to matching up. You may find a dish here and there that could be on the menu at Per Se, but as far as the overall meal, service and experience, Nothing matched up.... An experience such as Per Se doesn't come cheap but if you are a Food lover and want a night to remember for ever, its worth it.. Can't wait for the next time we go ourselves.
