What Clara S likes about Balthazar:
We really liked the experience here. Food was great and the restaurant has a melancholic French style which is pretty cool. But because it is so big the service was a bit overwhelmed, so may need more patience than usual to get your food or the waitress attention, but nothing crazy. Highly recommend the pumpkin ravioli !!! View all feedback. What Christina Q doesn't like about Balthazar:
Enjoyable experience at Balthazar. We booked a lunch reservation indoors weeks in advance as spots quickly fill up. Ordered the English breakfast, lattes, and mimosas which were all decent. The seating is quite close together which makes entering and leaving uncomfortable. Service is slow, but the waitress was nice enough to put the breakfast on the house. View all feedback.

Balthazar has seen its best days. It is now a place full of tourists and uninteresing people, with a lot of noise. Success has these things..

The service was great. It did take us a while to get some water and order the food. The food overall was okay, nothing really stood out. Very loud

Balthazar, a French restaurant in the city, has received mixed reviews from diners. Some have praised the exquisite dishes such as the eggs Benedict and creme brûlée, as well as the bustling ambiance reminiscent of a Parisian café. On the other hand, some guests have been disappointed by the quality of the food, citing issues such as overly salty onion soup and dry chicken paillard. While service has been inconsistent, with some experiencing forgetful waitstaff and delays in receiving orders, others have lauded the professionalism and generosity of the staff when rectifying mistakes. Overall, Balthazar seems to be a popular spot for brunch with its diverse menu and charming atmosphere, though it may not meet the high expectations of all diners, particularly vegetarians.

A classic, a favorite, outstanding as always. This place is full of old charm and hip ambience where every dish is a hit, not to mention killer martinis!

Food was very sub-par for the price. I however appreciate the outstanding service and beautiful atmosphere. It looked straight out of paris.
