ok i can't lie. this was my 2nd choice in town but i'm glad it worked out that way!
it turned out to be a lovely, lovely night. it was the former executive chef of l'express who recommended it.
i was with family that i have not seen in 6-8 years or more? we came early so we sat in the hotel lobby with nuts and a bottle of wine prior to dinner. when we arrived, it was an interesting mix of people. one table made me feel like i was in el-ray. one gal with maybe triple g bra was spilling out of her mini gravity breaking aqua dress. why am i writing this? it was memorable. does it have anything to do with this restaurant? not at all! but i can't help it - she was there!
once seated at boulud, the service was fabulous. foie gras? yaaaaassss! i have been suffering in california. every french person breathed a sigh of relief after the ban was over.
my sister and i shared our entrees as foodies. i got the lamb, she got the beef. can i wax on a few more sentences about the flavor profiles and will any one care? no and i won't bother. we're not on the panel of top chef. however, every time my sister and i come home, we eat like we've never been fed.
so...is it a little heavy on the wallet? yes. is it tasty? yes. so indulge once in a while if you can. if you want a tasting menu analysis from me - go onto the next yelper review. thank you for listening.
