We had a truly excellent lunch. For $ 48, you get a 4 course tasting menu, with every course on the same height as all the others. Outstanding, if pricey wine list, but they offer good wines by the glass that matched the food very well. Very attentive, but unobtrusive service, with several waiters from France which gives the restaurant an extra atmosphere of culture and European refinement rarely found in New York. I'd give them "4" Michelin stars, for the quality of food and its presentation, their lack of pretentiousness, ... read more

Hmmm... – Friday lunch drew a mostly older (50+) crowd. For $35, amuse of beet root gelee with mascarpone cream and almond foam was texturally pleasant if a bit sweet. Appetizer of pan-fried skate and mushroom ragout was over-salted - ironically, some sweetness here would have helped balance. Entree of roast chicken with demi-glace was executed well and the puree of fingerling potatoes was ethereal. An interlude of pear soup with chestnut sorbet was over-chilled to the point of dullness. Then, a plethora of dessert riches - ... read more

Stop Staring – My friend I were very excited about going to Bouley for their tasting menu during lunch today. I was very disappointed. The waiter were staring at us as if we were Aliens. The canape was horrible. The tomatoes were not fresh. The baby skate fish was too salty. The cod was somewhat over cooked. The only things that was good was the souffle. Overall, I would not recommend Bouley and needless to say may not patron this...

Boule at Bouley – The food at Bouley is worthy as is the decor. That is where the great experience ends. The" Sommelier" doesn't understand wine and it's relationship to food. When he mentioned that a pinot noir would be a decent match with two disparate plates of a first course (and the even further disparate second course- yes we informed him of our total meal choices PRIOR to our wine selection). I allowed him to make a selection between two bottles of the same house, one costing $125 and one $175. When I asked the differ... read more

Great food and service – I've been here numerous times for the tasting menu at lunch. The service and the food are consistently excellent- lots of small touches that really add up to a superb experience and meal. A little bit of a splurge, but definitely worth it.

Like a Cool Classy Cave on a Hot Afternoon – This is the perfect spot-- for ladies who know how to lunch 5 hours, for a family get together, for an engagement, you name it. Top quality class and service, and yes you pay for it. The portions are delicious and not too heavy; I highly recommend the tasting menu at lunch. OK, now time to go on a money diet

Seriously disappointing – Most disappointed with the haughty service. I really do not need to be made to feel like the manager/hostess is superior to me -- there is nothing worse in a restaurant (or any service business for that matter). That set the tone, of course. The space is a bit claustrophobic with the relatively low arched ceilings. The food? Not bad, but certainly nothing special in the context of NYC with all the great restaurants (without the attitude). I would skip it if I was on the fence.

Beautiful Sunday Afternoon – My wife and I had several hours on our hands on a Sunday afternoon before our flight home so off we went down to Bouleys not knowing just what to expect. Upon arriving we were pleasantly surprised that we could get in and tho we felt somewhat under dressed the staff would not take no for and answer and seated us in the red room. All we can say is amazing! We had the $45 pre fixe lunch and every course was wonderful! The service is the tops with just enough converstation with the staff to be engag... read more
