In September 2014, Ripert and Le Coze extended the elegance of Le Bernardin’s private dining room with the opening of Le Bernardin Privé, a modern and dynamic event space, and Le Bernardin wine director Aldo Sohm opened Aldo Sohm Wine Bar, where guests can enjoy a menu of simple and shareable dishes meant to complement and elevate an extensive and ever-changing wine list

Le Bernardin earned four stars from The New York Times three months after its opening, never having dropped a star throughout six reviews, and is the only restaurant to maintain this rating for that length of time.
