incredible bread... – i went to Bouley for the first time over the weekend.. incredible is all i can say...i love the bread, i think i tried 4 or 5 different breads but my favorite was the brioche..it just melted in my mouth... the dishes i ordered were cooked to perfection and the dessert! oh my! i had the chocolate frivolous and it was over the top! my mouth was in heaven the entire night... i am looking forward to returning there, hopefully in the near future..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
A Steal – C'mon, $35 to eat lunch @ Bouley...what a steal. All the food was perfectly cooked but it's the combinations that amaze. Where does he come up w/his idea's?! Bouley is alway's tinkering, perfecting. The man never rests. But back to the food... garlic soup w/langostino's, no peer's! Lobster, bouley has spoiled me... it's the only restaurant where I will order lobster. Rack of Lamd was as tender as could be. I can't say enuf. Go! Enjoy! Ask for Basil, tell Him Tom sent you.
My mouth has never been so happy – The food is absolutely amazing. The service too: they really seem to strive to make you feel special, all the extra treats make you feel like they are really thanking you for your patronage instead of trying to solicit things you dont want (like some $$$$$ places I could mention). And the food oh my.... Its the best French restaurant Ive ever been to; Chanterelle and Daniels are up there but this is better (in my personal opinion of course). I just left feeling like I had had an experience ... read more
Disappointing – I went there with very little expectations about the service and they managed to lower even that! The front desk person gave us quite a struggle to find a good seat. She wanted to seat us at the worst possible seat even though the restaurant was almost empty. I have no complaints about the wait staff and the food was interesting because of the unusual combination of ingredients but not something I would call extraordinary. What stands out in my experience is poor service from the start and then ending the exp... read more
amazing food!!!!! – I'm a visiting chef intown for the james beard awards and dined on a sunday evening at bouley and must say I was blown away at the flavors and combinations that were thrown at me.This is a must try for the diner who enjoy's world class food.I would have to say it's on par with jean george in n.y.c. , I will return again and again when I'm in town
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!!!
