I love the place and attend frequently. Their food is fantastic; the burger in particular. Unfortunately I came in on a busy night, and as any reasonable person would expect, high volume compromises quality. The burger was still great, just not as good as prior experiences. They recently replaced their delicious dill cooked fries with frites, bad idea. Frites are served in a larger portion but were rather cold, soggy, and bland. Otherwise, Boulud is top notch
