Fantastic - has even improved with age – We celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary and Bouley and we were thrilled with our choice. The service was attentive but not overly solicitous. And the food amounted to one of the most memorable, inspired meals in recent memory. Particularly noteworthy is the black bass roasted in a scallop crust (the trace of vanilla is genius), the desserts, and excellent cheese selection. Put Atkins on hold and enjoy the wonderful bread. The wine list was impressive without being overwhelming, an... read more

Disappointment – The food simply wasn't good. The service wasn't good. The atmospher was ok. The best part of the whole experience is coming and going through the main door with the smell of all of the apples. No one ever asked how anything was even when a majority of food was left on the plate. There are so many other restaurants in the city with excellent food and service. It's not worth the trip downtown to be treated so poorly. It used to be when it was on Duane Street.

Student – If you go, definitly try the tasting menu. Everything was excellent and like a work of art. I never would have imagined some of the foods that I ate. I went with a group and we had a great time and no one went home unhappy.

Prix fixe lunch is a steal! – For $35, you get incredible food, ambiance and service. A thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. All dishes are intense, with a melange of subtle flavors and textures. Service is excellent. Clientele is sophisticated, but not not "trendy". This is a place for folks with a sophisticated palate, and who desire a place that's about the food, service and ambiance, and nothing more. I highly recommend the prix fixe lunch!!!

Nice time – I went here to celebrate with my boyfriend and we had a very nice dinner. The service was great and everyone had a great attitude. We had the prix fixe dinner with wine pairings and we loved it. The wines were great and they gave us ample amounts and the food was very inventive and creative and delicious. We both enjoyed our food and the desserts were great. This is defintiely a great place to go for a special occasion.

A+ - PERFECT! – BOULEY HAS EXCELLENT FOOD AND IMPECCABLE SERVICE. THE WAITER MADE US LAUGH AND THEY ARE APPROPRIATELY ATTENTIVE - THE FOOD WAS PHENOM - GET THE SEAFOOD SALAD (WARM BUT WONDERFUL) AND THE BABY PIG. THIS IS ONE OF NEW YORK'S TREASURES, AND BETTER THAN DANIEL, LE CIRQUE AND ON PAR WITH THE MORE POPULAR JEAN GEORGES. YOU WON'T REGRET COMING HERE!

Some Sparks Still Fly – A decade ago, the original Bouley restaurant was deservedly at the very center of the New York fine restaurant scene: the ever-changing menu expressed Chefs manic energy and creativity, waitstaff were nearly gleeful, proffering explanations of each surprising course as it arrived. Restaurant created todays uniquely-American definition of a relaxed, elegant, and superb haute cuisine experience. Now, tamer evenings retain some of the former wildness as in the successful, ineffable amuse of coconut sorbe... read more

disappointing – My husband and I went to Bouley on a saturday night in october. The food was overall really good but variable depending on the choice of the meal, which for such a renowned and expensive place, was unexpected. The service was bad, honestly : we could feel the stress of the waiters coming every 2 minutes to check if we had finished our meal, filling our glaces of water etc I think the management should emphorsize on the importance of being relaxed and show some savoir-vivre more than forcing their staff to fil... read more

Exceptional food; Stellar Service – I suppose that Bouley has since re-vamped their service since the last reader reviews - because I cannot remember the last time I had such great service. We had 4-5 various servers - the manager visited our table several times, and everything was timed perfectly. We got to thank the chef & pastry chef personally. The food was incredible - we had the chef choose our menu and everything was so fresh and delectable. Bravo!
