db Bistro Moderne

There are so many great classics to have at my midtown bistro , from the tarte flambée to the escargots fricassée and of course the decadent DB Burger ! Perfect for a quick lunch or pre-theater meal.

Still going strong. This bistro offers excellent renditions of French classics plus their upmarket version of hamburger (with foie gras ). Their evening set courses are excellent value.

I had the theater prix fix and it was great! The pate was good but the sea bass was elegant! The dessert takes you to joy land!

Our favorite dish is boeuf en gelée, a cocktail glass of cold beef chunks lubricated with natural jelly and topped with horseradish foam. Spoon it on the slices of toast provided. Read more

This restaurant is a great experience. Excellent Service . Steak Frites & Scallops were outstanding. Pretzel bread was great & calamari special appetizer was also great.

This sleek bistro offers “haute-cuisine versions of home-cooking favorites.” Their theatrical and legendary DB Burger is “rich, well travelled, charred in the right places, and a little bit jaded.” Read more

Solid location, questionable brunch . I grabbed a pre theater weekend reservation for a family brunch . While the tiny madeleines made a bright end of the meal, the famous foie burger is disappointing.

The Original DB burger , $35 When Daniel Boulud stuffed braised short ribs , foie gras , and preserved black truffles into a ground sirloin shell, he forever changed the face of upscale burgerdom.

Everybody seems to advocate for the burger - but also try the coq-au-vin, the spicy cod with chorizo and vegetables , or the fois gras ... yummm! Great wine selection - try Austrian Gruener Veltliner.

A must-order: the legendary db burger , a sirloin patty filled with braised short ribs and foie gras . Don't miss the croque monsieur with duck confit , figs and goat cheese , either.

Pâté de Maison, duck confit , Mrs. Brevard cocktail , lamb tagine . Almost everything is very good. I have yet to experience something that was bad.

Plating of dishes is beautiful, the beets and dessert was great. Duck confit was way too salty for my taste, good drinks! Very nice staff

Terrific apple dessert . Great food food and atmosphere all around. Nice contemporary European Restaurant .

As a burger fan, I will just say; one of the best burger I ate in my life ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ????

I went there for breakfast .. bes Madeleine i have ever tasted.. the omelette was perfect

Great value for summer 2012 NY Restaurant week lunch . Pictured are the tarte flambèe , roasted Dorade, roasted quail and chocolate financier

Daniel Boulud 's the most casual restaurant has many of americanized menus. Duck confit was great.

If you like attentive service then you'll appreciate db bistro moderne. Do this: Skip the foie gras burger and save yourself the disappointment. There are many fine menu choices & a superb wine list

The foie gras is superb as the cocktails served at the bar . Loved the Diplomático Old Cuban at the menu

Daniel Boulud 's French-American mashup restaurant with great bistro fare alongside burgers and fries .

Probably one of the better and more luxurious burgers I've ever had.

Try the legumes rotis - Awesome presentation. They used dried black olive bits as "soil" for the veggie garden in the bowl. Get without cheese to be #vegan

Everything was delicious ! Thankyou everyone! It was wonderful to meet Izzys co talents ????

This is how French server a burger . No, a bit different from your average burger . Paired with French onion soup , you get one satisfying meal

The salmon was excellent as well as the service.

The Original Db burger is over rated. Thick patty stuffed with braised short rib & foie on the inside - turned out to be dry and rather tasteless.

Try the French toast . It is light and crispy with a tangy-sweet syrup and delicious dips . Unlike any I've ever had!

Stuffed with short rib , foie gras , and truffles , it's quite unique...and you can really taste the foie gras !

This burger is what most food people refer to as the originator of the gourmet burger . Read more

Another great place by chef Boulud!The foie gras burger is a MUST...

The perfect spot for a pre-theater dinner . One should note that their famous db burger , complete with fois gras , is overrated and not worth the $32.

Great little french bistro...l'escargot and house patte are delicious.

The fois gras burger is just amazingly delicious ???? Must try

Make a reservation (through Open Table if you can) and be prepared for a delicious meal! Easy choice for foodies.

The lobster salad went beyond even my high expectations. Plus I got a vacherin for dessert...not even sure what that is but it blew me away.

Their burgers are a foie-gras and red wine-braised short rib-stuffed creation served on a parmesan roll. It was a sandwhich created on a lark that instantly became the restaurant 's signiture dish.

I had the famous burger and unfortunately it was a disappointment. Madelines at the end of the meal are the best part.

Famous for its DB Burger (which includes a helping of foie gras ), this French bistro features large photographs of flowers by Christopher Beane, hand-picked by chef Daniel Boulud . Read more

Try the The Original db Burger - Sirloin burger filled with braised short ribs and foie gras on a parmesan bun

Retro ! Love the vibe and the prix fixe lunch was great!

Very nice spot for brunch . Definitely recommend it in the area.

Everyone gets the DB burger w/ foie gras which is great of course...However the salmon is better. Don't need a lot of dessert ? Wait for the comp petit fours w/ coffee Read more

I can't recommend breakfast here. Coffee is great, very dark, but food is surprisingly ordinary. You'll pay $25 for three small pieces of soggy French toast or $22 for a bowl of oatmeal w/ berries .

The Original DB Burger is featured on Eater's 2013 Ultimate Burger Bracket, FancyPants Divison

Amazing croissants , duck and lobster ; the yogurt is extremely fresh as well .

Apparently recession-proof, the famous short rib , truffle and foie gras–stuffed sirloin burger still remains on the menu.

The burger is the specialty, but don't be shy to order something else

Lobster salad and yummy French toast , still steaming hot. Fries weren't bad either!

I am there almost every other week. My husband and I are huge fans of Daniel Boulud . -Dina Manzo, Real Housewives of NJ
