Food, ambiance, and wine list were very good. Service was unsatisfactory. The waiter was slow and inattentive. Poured one glass of wine ten minutes after the main course was served then poured the rest of the bottle when our main courses were almost finished and while we were waiting for dessert after the main course plates were removed only after we asked. When we mentioned that the wine service had not worked, his response was a perfunctory "very sorry". When asked to divide the check, he seemed befuddled and asked us to do the math. Disappointing experience given what the meal cost.

Fake French restaurant. There is only French in the name. Laughable portion of foie gras, undercooked chicken, dessert a joke. In short, we were fooled, period.

Cafe Boulud is located on palm beach island within a hotel. There is complimentary valet on arrival. I highly recommend to have a reservation, it was packed for a Friday night.It took a little while for a server to get to my table but after that, it was smooth sailing and superb service. There was a dj playing while everyone enjoyed a low lit dinner. Everything I had was delicious, I was pleasantly surprised by the corn veloute and Hemingway (Dangerous summer) drink! You should note that a 20% gratuity is automatically included.Vegetarian options: The amenu is separated by land and sea so good for pescatarianDietary restrictions: The menu is separated by land and sea so good for pescatarianParking: Complimentary valetKid-friendliness: Not so much

Best food on the island thus far! Actual real quality ingredients, real flavor, real food, real cooks. Not just another over-priced, hideous meal that is 100% lacking in any depth, flavor or artistry. If you're actually looking food with some technically backing, please come here. The staff were also wonderful and awesome and couldn't recommend Dylan (and all of them) more.

We were there at opening with a resy at 5:30 and they never mentioned indoor or outdoor and seated us way in the back by ourselves for an hour. When we left the outside was beautiful and packed where u would want to dine. We weee at Bouchons in coral gables 2 days prior and u just can’t compare Thomas Keller to Daniel Boulud… there is a reason Keller has 3 Michelin stars even though Bouchon is not Michelin rated it’s a step above from hostess to servers to food. Very disappointing all around

Delicious food but not good service, I made my birthday reservation outside near fountain at 7:00pm however table was at the corner of opposite side, we refused to sit there and waited 10min to be seated a bit closer to fountain. We waited 55 minutes for our main entree….staff response was “we are busy” and it was Wednesday night and got holiday or season. Not good customer service for this type of restaurant.
We had a large group for tea…. Automatic tips never work as the staff becomes automatically LAZY…one should not have to ask for hot water when a tea diffuser and cup is placed in front of you! DUH!

My husband and I had a phenomenal meal while staying at the Brazilian Court. Curtis provided a flawless, fun, and informative evening filled with great cocktails and an even better meal. We also enjoyed room service breakfast and lunch. We can't wait to return on our next trip.

Cafe Boulud was a staple for me when I lived in Boston pre-pandemic and for visiting friends and family in NYC. Had not experienced tea time at their palm beach location but had high expectations. Was unfortunately widely disappointed. Despite the restaurant having ample notice for 16 people-- service was non-existent. Staff looked confused when we would get up and ask for something. Staff never cleared plates or offered ANY service for that matter. We had to get up multiple times and ask for hot water and wine. Like really? At one point they shut off the dining room lights... leaving my guests totally confused as to what was happening. Food was excellent but our large party felt unwelcome and unaccommodated for. Would I maybe return with a friend or my husband? Maybe. But large parties beware this is not the spot to entertain guests.

The vegan food choices are tasteless and without any thought, flavor. Excuses like most people aren’t vegan don’t cut it when there should be a chef in the house. Don’t get the pasta for vegan as it was rubbery mushrooms not sautéed just oil added and no taste asked for some tomato sauce amd was given room temp canned tomato sauce.For their prices they need to evolve Breakers has a veg/vegan menu
