Been coming here for a decade and can confidently say it's the best fondue in the tri-state area (because I've tried them all). Get the perigord for sure.

Server was nice but our birthday lunch was THREE HOURS LONG! We were there with our kids- the long wait between courses killed the experience. People who came after us were served before us. We had to turn off the burners, because our food was burning, silverware was dirty, our waters didn’t get refilled, table didn’t get cleared until next course and was not wiped before dessert. We are super bummed because we were excited about the melting pot coming to Northwest Arkansas. Not what we expected for a $350 lunch with no alcohol - We will not go back.

We were there for over 3 hours... didn't get served until 1 hour in with the cheese. Service was slow.

My mom and I have been searching for a great fondue spot in NYC ever since our old favorite, Artisanal, closed — and Taureau completely filled that void. It was fantastic from start to finish.
We stopped in after a matinee show and were pleasantly surprised to walk right in and get a table. It was quiet when we arrived, which gave us a lovely, intimate start to the experience, but by dinner time the place was packed. Based on how quickly it filled up, I’d definitely recommend reservations for evening dining.
The service was exceptional. Our waiter and the entire staff were attentive without being intrusive, and they really elevated the experience.
We ordered all three fondues — cheese, meat, and chocolate. The Old Swiss cheese fondue was incredible and a generous portion. We added potatoes and apples for dipping; the potatoes were great, but the apples were absolutely divine and paired perfectly with the cheese.
For the meat course, they were out of filet mignon, so we chose hanger steak instead — and it ended up being a happy surprise. I’m not usually a hanger steak person, but it was tender and full of flavor. Our waiter guided us on cooking time so we could get the perfect medium. We chose canola oil for cooking and were glad we did; another table used olive oil and the aroma was a bit strong for my taste. Even without seasoning, the meat was flavorful thanks to the herb- and vegetable-infused oil. The sauces were excellent, especially the truffle mushroom sauce — I could have eaten it by itself.
The only tiny change I would have made: I ordered bread that arrived with the meat, but I wish I’d had it with the cheese course instead. Still, a minor detail in an otherwise perfect meal.
For dessert, the milk chocolate fondue came with an enormous platter of fruit, cakes, marshmallows, and treats. It was so good we joked about trying to take it back to our hotel room.
Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. If you love fondue, this place is a must. It’s especially perfect after a matinee when the wait is minimal, but make reservations for dinner — it gets busy for a reason.

Me and a friend went here a few weeks ago. It was fabulous and our waitress with the blonde hair and deep French accent was SO helpful and kind the entire night. The truffle oil infused cheese was delectable and not overpowering with the oil. Highly recommended going here for fondue!

We had the cheese fondue and the chocolate. The Old Swiss, a classic, was delicious. We tried both the milk and dark chocolate. The latter was an overwhelming favorite at our table.

Place is very nice and food is tasty, but disappointing to see dogs being put inside especially with the open food. To eat fondue and cook your own food with a dog next to you shaking its fur and moving around the waiters and servers is poor health etiquette especially for customers who may be allergic

I got the Soprano with a lot of veggies and made the fillet minot with canola oil, white chocolate for desert. Croutons were my favorite, potatoes were my least. Overall a 5/5 experience

I had middling hopes but found exceptional quality instead. The staff treated our family with remarkable kindness. Staff members are genuine and the meals are delicious. Their cooking remains consistent. You'll notice higher prices matched by higher standards.

We recently visited Taureau in New York for the second time and, unfortunately, it was a letdown compared to our first experience. The restaurant felt dated, dusty, and not as well-maintained as we remembered. For the price, the overall atmosphere and cleanliness just didn’t match the expectation.
We ordered the fondue, which was decent but not particularly memorable. We also tried the meat selection, and found it to be underwhelming. The quality just wasn't what you’d hope for given the cost.
It’s disappointing because we had high hopes based on our previous visit, but this time it just didn’t deliver. Overall, a mediocre experience and I would probably not return.
