I'm a fan of Picholine too, but you're not going to get out of there for less than $100/person (the two-course menu starts at $65), and it's easy to spend a lot more. But yes, you're correct that it's still significantly below the cost of Le Bernardin and the others that you list.
BTW, Per Se typically runs in the $500/person range.
