Overpriced and overhyped...just not worth the money... more

This restaurant decor is elegant and the food (lunch) is superb. I have to say, though, that the service was average--long delays in getting food, had to ask for a second cup of coffee, had to ask for the check. If you go, please keep in mind that they have wonderful complimentary amuse bouches--small deserts between dinner and desert and... more

Bouley has finally gone back to his roots and set up his restaurant in a location separate from the bakery, much like the "old" Bouley. Great meal, great service, and lots of room in comfortable chairs. Now Bouley may be able to give Chantarelle a run for its money as the best restaurant downtown.

I'd only recommend this place if you want to have a nice candle light dinner with your loved one... more

Good bread, but one of the many places people think is great that is just not that memorable. more
