Bar Boulud

"At first you feel like you are walking into a wine barrel, but once inside the flowers and light airy colors are welcoming. We enjoyed every single dish ordered which included exquisite oysters, flavorful steak tartare, superb soups with French Onion and Vegan pumpkin, a scrumptious lamb pasta, and yankee burger with side of brussels. Wine and drinks were made well also. Service was good. Will definitely return when going to a show at Lincoln Center."

"This was truly fabulous . The braised chicken was really top top notch . The fluke tar tar was so fresh . Desert was rich but extremely tasty . This was a real delight for the senses . Can not wait to come back ."

"We came for dinner during restaurant week and had a fabulous time. Service was nice and food was excellent. I started with the beef tartare and it’s was exceptional. The burger topped with confit pork belly was indulgent and very tasty. They also had a great deal on a bottle of wine for $40 - I was a bit apprehensive as to the quality one would get for that price but it was surprisingly not bad! All in all a nice evening."

"We came here for the summer Restaurant Week for a birthday lunch, which I suspect is a slightly smaller portion than normal because I did feel a little hungry afterward. Everything was good though: - Pate was rich (wish I had more!) and complemented nicely by a well-dressed, albeit small, salad - escargots were good in the rich buttery sauce and came with good, crusty bread - trout was cooked perfectly - the Frenchie burger came out medium as asked but there was too much going on (strong cheese, saucy pork belly) and I wish I could taste the beef more; the fries were great though I liked the restaurant's light and airy atmosphere and it was pretty empty on a weekday. If I'm in the area for a concert I'll definitely stop by again."
