| - I've been waiting for a special occasion to come to cafe boulud and I got that opportunity today. It was well worth the wait. The food here is excellent.
I came for a bachelorette, small group of 4 of us.
We ordered as apps, steak tartare, charcuterie and the pâté charcuterie.
1 bottle of wine
2 girls got the 1/2 roasted chicken, 1 girl got the steak frites and the other got the duck confit. Every entree was amazing. Succulent, tender, flavourful.
I gave 4/5 because no matter how good the food is, if the service is not up to par, that's what the patron is going to remember. Our server did not explain to us that the charcuterie dish and the pâté dish were basically the same thing, especially because we also each ordered a full entree. Even if we decided not to order the extra app, I would have greatly appreciated him telling us that the pâté basically came with the charcuterie.. The result was we had way too much, the charcuterie was not finished and we barely touched our entrées.
Also when I had called in to book the reservation and advised it was for a bachelorette party, and it would have been lovely to have been offered a small treat for the bride to be, just like I am sure they do for birthdays. This is what sets the mediocre restaurants from the best.
10/10 coming back because the food is great
