Brett FrommeNovember 16, 2015Wines by the glass were superb. Service was very good. Peeky Toe crab salad was sublime. The risotto was the best I have ever had in the US, and maybe the world! Expensive, but worth it.
PamelaJuly 1, 2019You can’t go wrong with anything here. Absolutely the best dining experience I’ve had and that Michelin Star is extremely well deserved. Service was impeccable, food was out of this world.
Maria IlievaJuly 25, 2016Enjoy Dani's incredible creations in a casual setting. Generally french dishes like Brussels sprouts and duck breast. Try apple cider!!!
Michael NataleApril 26, 2018Enjoyed a couple glasses of dry white with the polenta, sea scallops, and the roasted chicken. They were very nice and pushed us through in 40 min in order to make the Opera at 8 on a Friday
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014Home to my famous Sea Bass en Paupiette! Executive Chef Aaron Bludorn makes wonderful seasonal food, when I go I like to indulge in the flavorful pastas!
New York PostSeptember 21, 2014Cafe Boulud’s tasting ($95 for six courses) was creatively conceived all the way through, starting with a trio of chilled, pitchperfect summer soups. ★★★★ Read more
YaniqueAugust 27, 2014Fabulous upscale French restaurant,the ambiance is one of elegance and is not as relaxed as the younger crowd would hope.Portions are small & the prices are high it's what you'd expect on the UES!
New York HabitatDecember 9, 2011A great place to splurge on brunch in the UES. Get the $39 2 course prix-fixe, it's worth it. We recommend the Crepes Suzette and the scrambled eggs with butter poached lobster.
Joan ParkJune 21, 2015great sunday brunch pre-fixe. appetizer: order smoked salmon, skip yogurt and soup. entree: cant go wrong but crab benedict is a winner.
- New York PostMay 30, 2013The best food served outdoors in the city, although sitting under a scaffold might not be your cup of thé. But it's civilized enough to enjoy chef Gavin Kaysen’s globe-trotting, modern-French menu. Read more
- Joan ParkJune 26, 2015great sunday brunch deal. order the smoked salmon (avoid yogurt) for appetizer and you cant go wrong with the entree.
Sara RoAugust 10, 2015Only two/three course meals on Sunday brunch! Egg benedict is mouth watering and their desert sections are beyond whatever expectations. Plus their complementary Madeline!
Serious EatsAugust 10, 2013Excellent upscale French restaurant from the Daniel Boulud team. For a more casual meal with drinks, try Bar Pleiades next door.- E PJanuary 18, 2014Risotto Balls, Squash Soup, Duck Breast, Duo of Beef and very knowledgeable sommeliers on staff. One of my top five choices in the New York area.
Time Out New YorkAugust 29, 2018Accomplished chefs prepare modern variations of French cuisine, plus more-whimsical seasonal and international dishes. Read more
Halstead PropertyNovember 15, 2012Enjoy a Thanksgiving menu carefully crafted by a James Beard Award winning chef with options like a heritage farm turkey with ciabatta stuffing, cranberry marmalade cipollini onions & sage infused jus
Marc SchneebergerAugust 12, 2018The basque Sunday was delicious. Pil-pil hake was our choice and we loved it. Its fancy and good!!! Enjoy!!!!- Nitzan BJanuary 28, 2019Everything was superb! Can expect no less than that in a Michelin restaurant
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013You can’t go wrong, from crisped salmon or fontina+truffle arancini to celery root agnolotti or pan-seared duck breast. – Green Guide Editor
AlaaJune 27, 2019The omelette they have is yummy 😋 French toast is good. But the place in general is a bit old need redesign and more sunlight to enter the place .
Angel SJuly 14, 2013Attentive services, great drink selections and food is amazing. Make sure to leave room for all those art deco dessert!
- Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014An excellent brunch at Daniel Boulud's restaurant includes the Maine Peekytoe Crab Benedict and any of the desserts on the menu.
- The Corcoran GroupMay 18, 2010Definitely an older crowd, however the food is top notch. Their risotto balls are the most delicious and savory amuse-bouche around. Try the new hotel bar for post dinner drinks.
- Halstead PropertyOctober 27, 2011Try the Hanger Steak and Eggs for a hearty brunch. Their hanger steak is not at all tough (like most) and is creamy, flavorful and moist - cooked to perfection.
Chet ManciniApril 5, 2015Several different rotating menus with dishes inspired by countries and seasons. Beautiful execution.
Nadim JaberAugust 14, 2013Steak tartare and zucchini tortellini all the way! Of course save room for the complimentary madeleines!
Andres ZirlingerMay 14, 2017Expected more flavor intensity. Beautiful place and nice service but three times i was there I left wishing for more surprising and intense flavors
Jeremy OngNovember 25, 2012Try the Amuse Bouche - It's my impression that amuse bouches are made from the stuff that the chef is trying to get rid off!
Mehmet BirandAugust 30, 2014Risotto balls, breads, selection wines and food... It's quiet, and service is excellent.
Zach AaronsApril 26, 2012This is where Andrew Carmellini got his start. The food is still sublime although it is a little on the fancy side. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Megan CunninghamJune 5, 2011Spaghetti Nero is the nest thing on the menu: hands down! And this is easily the best dessert menu in NYC. Save room!
- Carollyn PhilipFebruary 3, 2016Best restaurant week value. Food & service lives up to its reputation.
Glen McPhersonAugust 9, 2012Try the Basil Biscuit With Creme Fresh Mousse And Raspberry Basil Sorbet - Delicious!
Sharon MartinJune 27, 2013July 12-Labor Day, Fridays only: weekly summer menu, $68 for three courses and three pairings.
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Giuseppe Tentori, chef of GT Fish & Oyster, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Smoked sturgeon. Read more
Varun JollyApril 16, 2012DOLCE DE LECE is the most insane dessert here!!! Not to be missed by any means!! :)
Benjamin BurkeJuly 15, 2010Yeah. The crowd is lame. Bring the weird card and get loose. The staff appreciates it. I love love love the food here. It tastes like the heartland for me.

"Probably the best dining experience I’ve had in nyc in 2017. Pricey but remember service is included. If you order wisely you can get by with 5 small plates for 2 people"
