My family and I had an excellent brunch at Café Bouloud. The restaurant provided the type of service that you would expect at a refined restaurant. The food was top notch from beginning to end. We started with viennoisesies basket and the bloody Mary shrimp ceviche. We all agreed that the ceviche was truly outstanding. For the main course, we ordered the croque monsieur, french toast and eggs benedict with smoked salmon. All three were shared and enjoyed. The dining experience was completed with the assortment de cookies and Paris brest noisette et chocolat. We left the restaurant full and happy.

Visit for restaurant menu. It is a great deal. I love the sauce in the salad and fish makes it tasty. Steak with rice blends is very creative! It justifies me having stake with rice at home haha! Old money cocktail is also a good choice;)

Excellent fine cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere and with impeccable service. We were a party of 2 and had the Fluke-Kaki and Homard En Barigoule for appetizers. They were both delicate and delicious. For main, we had the Duo de Boeuf and the Poulet A L’Estragnon. These we’re perfectly cooked, plated elegantly and accompanied with delicious sauce and garnishes. For dessert we shared the Tart Tartin. This is the only dish we wished was more elevated. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal very much and will definitely return.

My wife and I celebrated her birthday yesterday and had a wonderful evening. Elizabeth provided great service, food/drink recommendations, and even offered a tour of the restaurant after our meal. We were very impressed with the private rooms that we plan to return for a larger celebration. After dinner we had a drink at the bar where Andrew and Rosario took good care of us and provided good conversation. The food was rich, delicious, and presented beautifully. Scallops, lobster, duo de boeuf - all delicious. The bread and butter was delicious too.

Everything was on point, food, menu and service was really outstanding. The menu changes from time to time and the chef create specials...When I was there was a Peruvian variation. The flavors, the cocktails and wine selection is excellent. Plus it is rated with 1 Michelin Star. They understand the art of service and experienced gastronomy. Well done! I have the duck as a main dish 😋

Magnificent! The menu features Daniel’s classics as well as his takes on seasonal + Mediterranean flavors. The dining room is intimate, not too stuffy & quite a perfect choice for a girls night out. Our server was so sweet & made us feel extra special. —TARTE CAROTTE VADOUVAN (9.5/10) yummy carrot tarte, slight natural sweetness along with a savory cheese buttery base (great textures) —GAZPACHO DE CONCOMBRE (8.5/10) refreshing chilled cucumber soup thats perfect for summer, wish i could drink this everyday! —BAR EN PAUPIETTE SAUCE MEURETTE (10/10) wow this was the best black bass ive had in my life—suuuper tender & delicate fish with the thinnest crispiest potato wrapped around it like a treasure. the red wine sauce was also a star. —CANARD AUX MONTMORENCY (9/10) beautiful duck presentation & simply delicious

I thought I was just going out for dinner. Instead, I stumbled into a culinary Broadway show, and Gaveric was the star of the production. 🥖 Act I: Bread & Butter, a Power Couple Maison Barnes bread basket + that golden quenelle of butter. I tried to pace myself but failed. If this is how La Tradition starts, I’m fine with carbs being my destiny. 🥒 Act II: Gazpacho de Concombre A chilled cucumber soup that looks innocent until you taste it. Cool, nutty, fresh — basically what air-conditioning wishes it could be in August. 🐟 Act III: Arctic Char That roll I photographed wasn’t a spring roll — it was the Arctic Char wrapped crisp like a Michelin-star burrito. Served with cabbage, potato purée, and sauce meunière. Somewhere in heaven, Escoffier is slow-clapping. 🐚 Act IV: Saint-Jacques Seared scallops, citrus, capers, fennel. They glistened like they’d been coached by a food stylist with a PhD in seduction. 🥩 Act V: Duo de Bœuf Short rib and New York strip — cooked so perfectly pink it deserved its own Instagram filter. Paired with fava beans, pommes Anna, and a sauce so rich I briefly worried about insider trading charges. 🍫 Finale: Moelleux au Chocolat The molten chocolate cake under a pistachio lattice with ice cream on top. Honestly, it looked like an edible art installation from MoMA, but tasted like pure childhood joy dressed up in black tie. ⸻ Curtain Call Café Boulud was incredible. The food was flawless, but Gaveric? He made it feel like I’d booked front row seats to the hottest show in town. Timing, charm, precision — he didn’t just serve dinner, he directed an experience. If restaurants were Broadway, Café Boulud with Gaveric is Hamilton. Standing ovation.

As someone who enjoys food content (cooking shows, The Bear, etc.) But never actually expirenced Fine Dining I was nervous to visit a starred restaurant afraid it wouldn't live up to expectations but Café Boulud definitely lived up to expectations. The food and the service was absolutely incredible. It was a really special and memorable experience from the moment we walked in the door. The Hostess was so friendly and engaging. It was so nice to speak with and engage with the Sommelier who was so nice and able to make the wine list accessible for us who are new to wine. And the food was fantastic too. From the Perfect bite Amouse bouche to the Scallop Dish and the Hanger Steak. Everything was delicious and exciting.

Quite a delight! Expected a stuffy experience but blown away. Enter an exquisite oasis worthy of carrying the famed Boulud name. Very accommodating and attentive staff. Gaverick was a star of a waiter. Enjoyed every minute and flavors. Would love to revisit soon.

Café Boulud is a beloved and elegant French restaurant helmed by the renowned chef Daniel Boulud. The ambiance is refined yet welcoming, capturing the essence of classic French dining. The menu changes seasonally, and every dish I’ve tried has been exceptional. The steak prepared two ways stands out as one of the most memorable dishes I’ve ever had, and the lobster ravioli is a true highlight—expertly crafted and full of depth and flavor. For dessert, the chocolate cake with raspberry sorbet is a perfect finale, offering a beautifully balanced finish to the meal. This Michelin-starred establishment is absolutely worth a visit.

Spent Christmas Eve here, I think the food options aren’t as unique as I’d like but still solid options. The scallop was overcooked and tasted a tad bitter, beef Wellington was amazing.

I am giving this a four because the crust of my sea bass was mushy and the crispness is a feature of this signature dish. I wasn’t sure when I was dining so I didn’t say anything but I was thinking that was the case. I looked it up later. The restaurant wasn’t noisy but I still had trouble hearing the descriptions of the dishes when they were presented. I guess I should’ve asked them to speak louder. The bread was crunchy and delicious and there are these little seeds you can stick on with butter. The foie gras was exceptional and a generous piece. I didn’t love the dessert selections and wish I had ordered something else. However, I bet chocoholics go cray cray for the molten chocolate cake. The portions aren’t huge but filling. If you want huge portions there are many other restaurants that will over feed you. The cafe is expensive but sometimes you have to splurge for a top restaurant experience. I was a solo diner and so basically I was taking up a table for two and I appreciated that they served me respectfully anyway.

I tried Hanger Steak with Salad Nicosia.. steak was medium rare and very juicy. Salad nicosia had anchovies from spain and was chrisp and tasty. Overall, the food was more than enough and service was amazing. Was greeted well at the counter and was not made to wait.

We opted for restaurant week at the bar. Drinks were smooth and top notch. The bread was excellent. The buratta salad was solid and definitely delicious, as was the hanger steak. I have nothing bad to say, however, I gave it 4 stars because while the food was good it didn't feel exceptional or at the level I've come to expect at renowned restaurants. That said, the lime and coconut mousse dessert and chocolate tart packed a punch with those big, bold flavors I was expecting. Dessert stole the show!

Great take on french cuisine, hanger steak was cooked very well, lobster ravioli missed the mark due to flavors overpowering the lobster. Mussels and clams appetizer felt basic, similiar to oysters rockefeller. The server assigned was condescending at best, all other staff were friendly and courteous.

I visited Café Boulud today for my birthday. The service was very attentive and professional. The staff checked in often and made the experience feel special. For appetizers, I ordered the scallop, but it was unfortunately very salty. The blood orange and the purée underneath helped balance the flavor a bit, but I still needed to eat it with the bread to mellow the saltiness. My main dish was the black cod wrapped in “crispy” potato. I had high expectations since it’s their signature dish, but the potato wasn’t crispy at all. The sauce and the leek were well balanced, which I appreciated, but overall the dish was a bit disappointing. Dessert was the highlight: the apple tart was very good, not too sweet, and had a nicely balanced crust. Overall, a mixed experience.
