Terrible service, average food and old decor – Bouley is not worth your money. I took my boyfriend there for his birthday and was so disappointed in the service, food and decor. The waiter was unattentive and quite snobby. He didn't offer any suggestions on food or wine pairings. Once the food arrived, the presentation and taste was boring and uninnovative. It is not a place for any celebratory milestones. Take an apple when you leave because you will still be starving!

PERFECT!!! – This could have been one of the very best dinner of my entire life... Service was impeccable, the restaurant was beautiful (the entryway smells of country apples, which fill the wooden structure on the walls), and the food was phenomenal. We ordered the tasting menu (which is a MUST), and everything was fantastic. The phyllo crusted shrimp and seafood starting dish was superb with a basil-infused sauce, the salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious, the lobster was outstanding, the frozen yogurt with blueberry a... read more

good fine dining – I've heard a lot about this place and I was moderately impressed. Service was good, but nothing special. Food was also good, but nothing special. Though I do think that the desserts were excellent. If you can afford to eat at fancy places like this often, then I recommend it. But if you do it once in a while, there is a lot better fine dining in NY.

Night of the Living Dead – We went to Bouley for my Birthday, and the overall experience was simply so so. First, the average age of the diners must be in their 70s, and several looked like they were going to do a face plant in their fish. Return from Chiang Mai should have been called Return to Kitchen. No joke, the jelly like ensemble must have been prepared a week in advance, and the so called lobster was essentially non-existent. The black sea bass with encrusted scallops was not only original, it was divine. I highly re... read more

Hmm. – overall, wonderful experience, but... ambience is great - romantic, unique & inviting. just right. service was just right too - attentive without being overzealous. and the food was good - but not superlative. and at these prices, it should be. boyfriend and i both got the tasting menu. kobe beef should not be texas kobe at a restaurant of this caliber. return to chiang-mai or whatever it was called was a bit indecipherable. deserts were fantastic - the standout. but a bit too little too late. like i said, overall exp... read more

Very Romantic – I went to Bouley for the first time since their reopening. I had a very nice experience overall, great service, fantastic wine, and very comfortable atmosphere, but food was a little inconsistent. One dish would be "Wow", and then the next course would be plain, needing more salt and seasoning. One sauce would be very rich and tasty but the other would be overkilled by herbs, etc. I've had better experiences at Bouley so I would probably go back though.

another nice restaurant – i came here a few months ago for an early valentine dinner. we both had the $95 tasting menu. i started with the return to chiang mai which consisted of cool lobster tail & mango in a fruit-flavoured sauce. it was really good, but i also mistakenly chose the lobster course as my entree and it turned out to be the same dish as my appetizer (but warmed). i thought that was pretty funny, though im not sure that my bf was as amused. the rest of the food was good, though not particularly memorable. servi... read more

Pricey, but well worth it – My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner here and I must say that I was blown away. From the entry to the ambience to the dinner itself, it was excellent. Perfect place for romantic dining!

New York Dining At It's Best – A special evening for a party of six. The fragrance of apples and the anticipation of the meal make one's mouth water before being seated. Personal service that makes you feel special and menu selections that were varied enough to please everyone. My only disappointment occurred at the end of the meal.. as we exited the restaurant we happened to look accross the street, into the second floor windows above the Bouley Bakery. There was David Bouley cooking up a storm for the patrons of the cafe/b... read more
