Good atmosphere, but very average food and slow, disorganized service. Was very disappointed considering Balthazar’s reputation.

We didn't make a reservation, but we were willing to sit outside, which was enjoyable. We were able to observe New York walk by as we ate the very tasty food. The escargot, halibut, duck and banana caramel dessert were all so good. Definitely a restaurant to try and get to when visiting NYC.
Breakfast at Baltazar had been on my bucket list for a while. I had the opportunity to return to New York City this past week and took advantage. With the publication of Keith McNally‘s memoir earlier this year, the experience was even more poignant. The service, as expected, was outstanding. The ambience was perfect, transporting you to a Parisian brasserie. And let’s not forget the food. Simply amazing.

One of the classiest spots in New York. I never skip it when I’m in town. The food is top-notch and the service is just perfect. But last time, something funny was going on with the music. The volume kept jumping up and down like it was DJing itself! At one point, it got so loud we could barely hear each other. And the playlist? Wild. Lady Gaga one minute, classical music the next. Maybe Gaga was visiting that night, who knows! Not taking off any stars for that, but hopefully next time the music chills a little. 🎶

Love the vibe here always! Hot toddy delicious for the season and the French onion soup was wonderful. A little too much cheese for my taste but an amazing experience nevertheless!

The food was fine. Nothing too spectacular or worth the hype or crowd this place had. It’s more an institution that’s running on consistently slightly above average food. Wouldn’t repeat. 3 for New York

Balthazar is undeniably iconic, but the experience feels increasingly like a museum piece. The room is still beautiful and bustling, yet the food has slipped into routine: lukewarm pastries, oversalted entrees, and plating that feels more hurried than intentional. Service remains energetic but stretched thin. Worth a visit for nostalgia, but culinary excellence no longer defines this SoHo classic.
