Berndarin Restaurant, New York

A huge difference from the food in Africa! The restaurant is ranked 26th in the 2018 world rankings and specializes in seafood. All excellent dishes except the Dover Sole w/ almonds (not for me). The service was very efficient, not very chatty, very “New York”.  If you like this NYC style, you'll love this restaurant. An additional highlight of the meal was the sauces added to the dishes at the table. They were very delicate in flavor.
