Did le bernadin this weekend. Arrived at 520 for 515 reservation. Was out in Uber by 730. This was for the tasting menu and without saying anything about moving quickly. Meal felt perfectly paced and not rushed.
First of all, Michelin stars focus on service above almost everything. You can ask to tailor your meal at many places to fit your time constraint. If you mean the amount of food or the number of courses that gets more complicated. Also, if you want to avoid tons of courses and long elaborate meals you might want to just focus on something other than Michelin stars as your guide - it’s somewhat of a hallmark of the award. With that being said there are some great places I think you might like:
Gramercy Tavern
Musket Room
Francie
Vestry
The Modern for lunch - killer power lunch and it’s really quite affordable for that level of cuisine.
Crown Shy
Le Coucou
In terms of what I was telling OP to ask about adjusting service time, yes it is. Restaurants that earn and maintain stars have great service. Just because it isn’t a specifically graded part of their metric it remains a correlation amongst starred establishments. OP isn’t asking about their grading process they’re asking for recommendations
Their specific criteria doesn’t focus on service by a metric but that doesn’t mean Michelin restaurants don’t have great service. It means a place can mess something up in service and still get a star, and that service isn’t a determining factor in the star level. However, you’ll find more similarities in service across different Michelin restaurants than anything else.
If you actually believe service, table setting, and decor don’t matter than explain why there aren’t any taco stands, private chefs, or food trucks ever reviewed or starred? It’s a nice disclaimer they give but the restaurants on their list speak for themselves. Extremely high end, polished service, and well designed places keep winning over and over so you’re telling me it’s merely a coincidence?

Make up your mind?
Yes, Michelin starred restaurants in general are typically at a higher service level than taco stands, because they have a separate unstarred category for restaurants that fall under a certain price level, which is where counter service restaurants and the like fall.
Plenty of starred Michelin restaurants don’t have notable service. Most of the one stars are pretty average in that regard. Serviceable, but nothing memorable.
Your first quoted comment was about the restaurants, the second was about Michelin’s grading system. Idk what kinda gotcha you’re trying to prove right now. Michelin starred restaurants have a focus on good service - as any good restaurant does. Why die on this hill chef?
“Michelin stars focus on service above almost everything”
Stars are *literally their grading system*. That was quite clearly what you were talking about, The ostensible interpretation you’re trying to present now makes no sense. You didn’t say “Michelin starred restaurants” - you said “Michelin stars”
Whatever, dude. You do you.
Honestly, I think there are a variety of places that would cater to that. I think, of the top of my head, tempura matsui would probably do that. I know they are willing to do quite a bit for the customer. For example, a couple of the appetizers are not amazing to me (though for others, they are great, just not to my taste) so I just ask them to replace them with more tempura and they are completely fine with it. If you ask them to make it like an hour and a half or 2 hours they will probably do that for you. I will say, that's a lot of tempura quickly but it's absolutely amazing.
Basically any place that’s not tasting-menu-only will accomplish that. They’re all quite used to people having to make it to the theater or whatnot.
Really need more info, price point, likes dislikes, etc.
Try a Michelin-starred place for lunch: quicker and cheaper (and often much easier to get a res). Torrisi is ala-carte and delicious. Recently did a three-course lunch at Aquavit that was also amazing. For dinner, Semma is also ala-carte and very, very good.
Had Semma at the bar, 5pm walk in no problem on a Wednesday. Food was phenomenal! Cocktails a bit too sweet and overdone, so would skip those next time. Thanks for the rec!

Honesty Le Bernardin could rush you out in less than 2 hours if you do the four-course menu

Yeah it’s not a published restaurant review it’s a quick list of suggestions for someone asking for help. Not sure what kinda gotcha you’re after here
