So Bad – My husband and I love good food, especially French, so he took me to the restaurant for my birthday. We were both soooo disappointed. We ordered the tasting menu, the appetizer was too salty and the main course had no taste ( we had to use salt & pepper)! The bread was left uncovered and tasted stale. The waiters were hovering beside our table so we were very uncomfortable and had no privacy to set a romantic mood. We were also very disappointed that some people were in jeans and sneakers, took away from the night .... read more

Excellent, But Have Had Better – My wife and I enjoy trying tasting menus at various higher-end restaurants; some recent choices have been Eleven Madison Park (EMP) and Gilt, so this review is in comparisons to EMP, one of our best dining experiences. Overall, Bouley was excellent, but not quite EMP. The quality of the space and interior was exceptional. In the foyer, we were greeted by the scent of real apples that lined the hallway, leading up to a curved, nicely detailed door. The interior space was plush, somewhat dark, ... read more

Wonderful dining experience, ignore the griping – I am trying to figure out why my experience was so positive considering some of the complaints by other reviewers. Two things: there were not a lot of people there at 5PM on a weekday so we got great attention and we are teetotalers and much of the complaining has to do with the wine selection and service. I am not naive and found things to criticize about Jean Georges and Masa but I found the food, service and decor to be expemplary. I was wowed on entering the crimson room ... read more

Not worth it... – I took my boyfriend out to dinner at Bouley... I was underwhelmed...We got the pri fixe dinner, which might have been a mistake. The best part of the meal what when the bread cart went around. I think that there are more places that have a better atmosphere and quality food than this restuarant....but to each his own.

Warmth, elegance, and delectable cuisine – I was in the neighborhood tonight (a Tuesday) and wanted a quiet place to read my New Yorker. I dropped in at 10pm without reservations. They seemed happy to see me and sat me at a cozy table in a corner. From start to finish, the experience was engrossing but relaxing at the same time. 4 or 5 very friendly servers appeared throughout the evening at just the right time with perfectly prepared dishes (favorites were the philo encrusted shrimp, baby pig entree, and "frivolous" chocola... read more

FABULOUS – Pricey, but worth every penny! This restaurant is out of this world good - I can't wait to go back!

Glass half empty or half full? – I agree with other reviews that at these prices, one should justifyably expect an other-worldly experience. Our dining party of 8 was there to celebrate a special birthday. Thank goodness for the warm, elegant (but not too stuffy) ambiance. The head waiter, in an appartent effort to shirk the "pretentious" label, acted like more of a cool-guy buddy than a professional server at an upscale restaurant. We found fault with the uncoordinated service as well. My husband had to call the head waiter... read more

Average food and service, not impressed – Went to Bouley for Christmas Eve dinner, party of three and we three were all unimpressed with the food and disappointed in the service. In an attempt to not be rude, service at Bouley was below average for any eating establishment. Our waiter was unprofessional given Bouley's attempt to be ranked as one of the best restaurants in Manhattan. Our waiter never inquired about our meal, service was rushed, he questions my wife?s choice of desert, and he served my wife crossing me. The so... read more

Terrible service, certainly not worth the money. – Went to Bouley for Christmas dinner. Party of six. Unmerry Christmas. A young French waiter assigned to our table was extremeley rude and kept muttering unpleasantries in his mother tongue. These utterances were accompanied with scowls. Such disservice should be dealt with immediately, especially when they command $150 per head. We approached the head person to express our concerns, but he too, simply blew us off. They should get a copy of Danny Meyer's book "Setting the Tab... read more
