INCREDIBLE food...ruined by so-so ambience – food here is ridiculously good. yes, RIDICULOUSLY good. however the overall experience falls short of being ridiculously fabulous due to seemingly trivial things -- small things that really add up. example1: everytime i have been there it has been NOTICEABLY (either) too hot or too cold. i should NOT be wishing i had not coat checked my scarf and wondering where the air duct causing the draft is located. example2: waterstained and fingerprint smudged sterling silver flower vase. g... read more

I love this place! – I have gone to this place for lunch and dinner and is one of my favorite restaurants. It is great for a romantic evening. The food is very good and the ambience is nice and romantic. You even get a little gift when you leave. How cute is that!

Good; I've had better – The food was good. Nothing that made me say "wow", until the desserts, that is. For the money you pay, you'd expect more robust and flavorful dishes, which unfortunately doesn't happen at Bouley. The ambiance is great, however, the food needs to be stepped up a few notches to be worth the price.

Amazing – Bouley defines what fine dining should be. The food is exceptional in every respect and is well known to be among the finest in the city. The cuisine is matched by immaculate service that is both warm and attentive. Bouley is as good as it gets.

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.
