Our first time at Cafe Boulud and we enjoyed a delightful breakfast! The restaurant and hotel are absolutely beautiful. The service was fantastic and attentive - given we were there on Christmas morning we really appreciated the servers and hosts giving the impression there was no place they'd rather be. The food is delicious - everything was done really well. It will definitely be on our list of possibilities for future special occasions

Fabulous food. Sat at the bar and the bartender not only had stellar food recommendations but also wine suggestions. I enjoy California Chardonnay and am not familiar with Greek wines and he presented lovely options. The dips were wonderful with standout homemade pita. Delectable salad with heirloom tomatoes, feta, cucumber and onions. Patatas were great. Enjoyed the lamb chops with tzatziki but the standout was the tea brined chicken. GO!!!
