Very good food, discrete and wonderfull staff, all together a wonderfull experience! Everything from when we arrived to when we left were classy, beautifull and just perfect for a romantic and mouthwatering evening.

WE have had quite some star restaurants in New Tork in the meantime.We can compare them now with Daniel and it really was quite an experience for us.The menu contains interesting specialities and unexpected ingredients (at least for American restaurants).The service was friendly and efficient without an arrogant atitude.This could be a star restaurant in Europe.

The whole experience is good. Food in general is above avarage but I really don't think it should be a 3 Michelin star. Some things (like desserts) were absolutely delicious, the service is impecable, nevertheless there were some "almost unforgivable" mistakes concerning food, something I did not expect in such a high priced restaurant.

We had some (excellent) previous experiences in 2 or 3 stars restaurants in Europe and USA, and all of them were much better than our dinner at Daniel The food and service are not actually bad, but does not justify its presence in the lists of the top restaurants in NY. In short, an average is a restaurant with a... More

I first had dinner at Daniel (Now Cafe Boulud) over 16 years ago The Braised Short Ribs a meal never to forget the true talent Daniel and his staff possesses is that they make ordinary food into magnificent meals.

We went for the tasting menu - which was good, but to be honest 3 weeks later and I cannot remember any of the courses. We have been fortunate... More

We went here for a special meal, and this is exactly what the place is for. We're lucky to have dined at many great restaurants, and whilst we knew this was going to be an expensive treat, it was worth it. Staff were so nice, and not at all snooty, they really made you relax. Pre diner cocktails were sublime... More

We went at 5:30 to accomodate and 8 pm show. It was so lovely and quiet and we took advantage of the early dinner with wine pairings. The staff is wonderful and elegant without being snobby or stuffy. The food, naturally, was fabulous. It was a very special place

This restaurant exceeded my expectations - and I had high expectations! Everything was absolutely incredible - the food, the service, the beautiful dining room.
