We were surprised to see that the prix-fixe menu was under $50 at a 1-star Michelin restaurant. We were seated in the section that opens to the outside with a view of the fountain. It was a great view and atmosphere.
We ordered the caesar salad, the famous $32 burger the poussin but i forgot the desserts. The salads good but were nothing special. The poussin was very juicy and full of flavor. It was a good sized portion and was a very satisfying dish. The burger was good. Fois gras, truffle, pulled shortribs in a burger? It was good but I don't think it was worth $32. It's one of those things that you'd order just to try but probably wouldn't order it again.
Overall, we had a pretty good experience at Daniel Boulud. The food was above average and the price for a Michelin restaurant was well within reason.
