Wow ! What can I say. Totally blown away by the meal I just had. Service was top notch. Started off with the sweetbread appetizer then had the short rib and steak for main. The steak was cooked perfectly. The sweetbreads are probably the best I have ever had . Didn't take many pictures was so impressed with the food. Would highly recommend . The lobster dish was also outstanding. A+++++

Disappointed with service. Restaurant a quarter full and they seated us wedged in between 2 occupied tables. Wait staff still unsure of menu. Hope things improve!

A triumphant return. The perfect restaurant somehow made even better. I lively dining room, matched by professional service, a tasty and inventive menu, and a wine list brimming with good options. Not to mention the simply gorgeous bar.

Café Boulud is one of my favorite spots in the city. We visited the new location in December; and the service and food were phenomenal. We had the three course tasting menu and the duck breast and squash soup was to die for. We paired it with a great bottle of wine that was recommended by the sommelier on site. If you are looking for an amazing night, with good wine and food, this is your place.

Chef Romain is excellent and the entire experience was so special. Perfect for a date night or special occasion. Loved our time here! Thank you Chef Romain and to the whole Cafe Boulud team!
Terrible food, terrible service and the servers are just very RUDE and entitled. I mean for a place the Michelin rated, I expected a more professional and respectful treatment but this place is the absolute opposite of good food or good service. A dollar slice of pizza is actually more enjoyable than eating here. I do not recommend to anyone

The environment is modern, elegant and inviting for good conversations.I recommend making reservations on Sundays for Brunch.The food was divine, we orderedThe VELOUTÉ AUX CHAMPIGNONS, which for me was the star of the brunch, was wonderful. We ordered a burger, truffled croque monsieur and pancakes, everything was as I expected, very tasty.I have a small reservation with the Steak Tartar, I had to ask for salt and pepper and mix the egg yolk, which made my dish ugly and I wish there was something crunchy to go with it, bread or yuca chips.However, the taste was amazing.The dessert was divine, highly recommended to try something made with delicacy and lots of flavor.I missed the sweet wine, Sauternes.The service was excellent, as expected from a restaurant like this.Now I have my preferred Brunch in NYC.Vegetarian options: VELOUTÉ AUX CHAMPIGNONSFRENCH TOASTCAFÉ BOULUD EGGS BENEDICTPAN ROASTED DORADE

The service and ambiance were impeccable and made the night. It is a bit of an older scene. Being in a beautiful restaurant off Park Avenue was very special. With that said, the food is extremely expensive ($95 for 2 courses), taste underwhelming, and portions small. The scallops had a sweet sauce, that for me was too sweet. The char was a bit over cooked and just not impressive. The food WAS plated beautifully. Neither course did I finish. My martini was decent but somewhat watered down. For the price, I think the food taste needs to improve a bit. With that said, the dining room and food presentation is truly lovely and made for a nice night.

Mediocre food. Crowded and noisy. Bean counters prevail over over chefs! Will not go back. The original Café Boulud was my favorite upper east side restaurant.

Cafe Bolouds new space is great! Walked in on a random weeknight for some quick dinner and it was fantastic! Really warm service, great food and a cozy ambiance.
