Lovely (huge) breakfast. I had the buckwheat crepe with gruyere and ham and my sister had eggs benedict.
My crepe was actually two crepes and a pile of salad - I was still full hours later!
We actually had breakfast provided in the hotel but made a special trip here to experience it and I'm glad we did. It was...

Met some friends for lunch. We had an oyster sampler which was wonderful and my seafood seviche was fantastic! Highly recommended!
Just okay indeed. Full of themselves for no reason. No sightings. Lots of tourists. Why bother? My international guest wanted to go. She was disappointed.

Balthazar was recommended to us 6 years ago by my cousin who was working in NY at the time - we have had breakfast at Balthazar every trip since. We love this place and booked twice for breakfast during our stay this week .....we are never disappointed.
The atmosphere is great - there is a real buzz to the place....
