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.

Really enjoyed a meal with friends at Bar Boulud. The food was great and the portion size was decent too. Massive fan of French food and it has to be some of the best in the Upper West Side. In addition to the great food the service is excellent and the atmosphere is relaxed and doesn’t feel too fancy. The highlights were the trout, Chocolate Cremeux and almond cake (Geteau Basque). I had the steak tartare for starter but I’ve had much better elsewhere - it was sauce heavy which I didn’t enjoy. Still give Bar Boulud five stars for exceptional mains, dessert and ambience. It’s also in a great location too.
How does it get better for pre-opera than Bar Boulud? The location is perfect, across the avenue from Lincoln ctr and easy safe walk from Columbus circle as well. The food is delicious, quick to the table, and price pre-covid, with casual yet modern ambience. My favorite is the snail appetizer ! This is a great spot for the second date!
Came here for my mom’s birthday after a show at Lincoln Center. Great location and friendly staff. If you like wine, enjoy the sommelier’s daily general pour - a treat to see what is picked for the day. The French Onion soup was delightful. Portions were perfect. Highly recommend the chocolate crème brûlée for dessert if available!
Amazing food, well presented and plenty of options at the decent prices. Ample indoor and outdoor seating and they have a good wine collection. Would recommend.
We loved the chicken liver mousse (amazing flavor and it paired really well with the berry jam), the rainbow trout and the passion fruit cheesecake . The Frenchie burger, hazelnut ice cream, raspberry sorbet and winter salad were decent.

The food and service was excellent. We got a small charcuterie board to share that was perfect for a group of 4. We loved our server and we thought the the wine special was great as well. Our dishes were delicious and the deserts at the end were all light and tasty. The sorbet and gelatos were so refreshing and addictive. You must try their raspberry and rose sorbet. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxing and a great place for a lovely dinner. Will definitely be back!
The quality of the food served at Bar Boulud has not changed a bit over the years. It is simply exquisite. I highly recommend the escargots and the trout dish. Also, I like the semi-privacy of the outdoor space.
REVIEW FROM 2 YEARS AGO: exquisite food: fresh and flavorful. Excellent service.
