And the menu is always interesting. Last night we tried the octopus with polenta appetizer (loved it!), osso bucco and black cod for main dishes. The cod, the daily special, was cooked perfectly and had a pineapple habanero relish that was sweet and spicy and complemented the fish perfectly. It was a real treat. The osso bucco with risotto was also excellent. For dessert we tried the cannoli (good) and lemon tart with frozen grape nuggets of awesomeness (amazing). Our excellent waiter, Lorenzo, helped us choose each course and provided top-notch service all night. We love that it's a bring your own wine restaurant, but even with that it is not cheap. However, this restaurant is worth the splurge and the prices accurately reflect both the high quality of food and service.

Not fancy, but very good food and moderately priced.

I really like this restaurant because it's so elegant! The fireplace and the outdoor area that is covered and heated are my favorite features. read more I really like this restaurant because it's so elegant! The fireplace and the outdoor area that is covered and heated are my favorite features.

I have never had a bad meal at Maison Boulud. I have visited for both brunch and dinner, and the food was exceptional. read more I have never had a bad meal at Maison Boulud. I have visited for both brunch and dinner, and the food was exceptional.
