Les Salons Bernardin, located directly one level above the restaurant and accessible by a separate entrance, is the perfect setting to host a memorable event. Enclosed in etched glass accented by wooden coffered ceilings, the room reflects the understated luxury of the main dining room. Floor to ceiling windows grace the salon with ample natural light during the day and in the evening, soft lighting and the use of warm, neutral colors add to the ambiance of a truly exciting place.

The salon can host from two to sixty guests seated and can be subdivided to accommodate different configurations and seating plans for various party sizes and needs. Menus carefully created by Chef Eric Ripert and his team can be perfectly complemented with wine selections made by Wine Director Aldo Sohm. Les Salons Bernardin, together with a dedicated private dining team, will provide you and your guests with an unforgettable experience.

“A great pairing doesn’t just emphasize the wine or the food, it transforms them both and elevates the partnership to a perfect harmony.”

Overseen by Wine Director Aldo Sohm, Le Bernardin’s wine program focuses on pairings that complement the cuisine of Chef Eric Ripert. While the cellar includes a large number of wines from the Old World regions of Burgundy, Rhône, Austria, and Germany, the 15,000-bottle collection is truly global, with 900 wine selections from 12 different countries, and vintages dating back to 1875.

Sohm joined Le Bernardin in 2007, the year he was awarded “Best Sommelier in America.” The following year, he was voted “Best Sommelier in the World.” Under Sohm’s direction, Le Bernardin received the 2009 James Beard Award for “Outstanding Wine Service.”
