Wines 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.

Pamela

You 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 Ilieva

Enjoy Dani's incredible creations in a casual setting. Generally french dishes like Brussels sprouts and duck breast . Try apple cider !!!

Michael Natale

Enjoyed 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 Boulud

Home 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 Post

Cafe 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

Yanique

Fabulous 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 Post

The 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 Park

great sunday brunch pre-fixe. appetizer : order smoked salmon , skip yogurt and soup . entree: cant go wrong but crab benedict is a winner.

New York Habitat

A 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 Park

great sunday brunch deal . order the smoked salmon (avoid yogurt ) for appetizer and you cant go wrong with the entree.

Sara Ro

Only 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 Eats

Excellent upscale French restaurant from the Daniel Boulud team. For a more casual meal with drinks, try Bar Pleiades next door.

E P

Risotto 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.

Halstead Property

Enjoy 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

Nitzan B

Everything was superb! Can expect no less than that in a Michelin restaurant

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

You can’t go wrong, from crisped salmon or fontina+truffle arancini to celery root agnolotti or pan-seared duck breast . – Green Guide Editor

Alaa

The 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 .

Christine Chang

Awesome Prix fixe lunch menu !

Angel S

Attentive services, great drink selections and food is amazing. Make sure to leave room for all those art deco dessert !

The Corcoran Group

Definitely 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.

Lori Luo

An excellent brunch at Daniel Boulud 's restaurant includes the Maine Peekytoe Crab Benedict and any of the desserts on the menu.

Halstead Property

Try 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 Mancini

Several different rotating menus with dishes inspired by countries and seasons. Beautiful execution.

Nadim Jaber

Steak tartare and zucchini tortellini all the way! Of course save room for the complimentary madeleines !

Andres Zirlinger

Expected more flavor intensity. Beautiful place and nice service but three times i was there I left wishing for more surprising and intense flavors

Sherry Ju

Great hearty food but horrible service! Dessert is to die for. ????

Sacha S

Very 90s kind a place. I would go some other place to try Michelin food in NYC.

Chris L

I come here for on-point but still relaxing service. Always feel pampered. ;)

Jeremy Ong

Try 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 Birand

Risotto balls , breads , selection wines and food... It's quiet , and service is excellent.

Zach Aarons

This 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 Cunningham

Spaghetti Nero is the nest thing on the menu: hands down! And this is easily the best dessert menu in NYC. Save room!

Will Arnone

Prix Fixe lunch menu . Kale soup and hake are extraordinaire!

Carollyn Philip

Best restaurant week value. Food & service lives up to its reputation.

dawn.in.newyork

The American Breakfast is very good!

Mafe Sotillo Lairet

Delicious breakfast ! Order the smoke salmon

Glen McPherson

Try the Basil Biscuit With Creme Fresh Mousse And Raspberry Basil Sorbet - Delicious!

Sharon Martin

July 12-Labor Day, Fridays only: weekly summer menu , $68 for three courses and three pairings.

The vanilla rhubarb was phenomenal!

Make sure to save space at the end. Best. Madelines. Ever.

Varun Jolly

DOLCE DE LECE is the most insane dessert here!!! Not to be missed by any means!! :)

Mafe Sotillo Lairet

Everything was so delicious!

Benjamin Burke

Yeah. 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.

Their duck breast is oh so delicious, and the service is impeccable.
