What Mary Dailey doesn't like about Bar Boulud:
Very disappointing, oysters were just OK, beef tartare reasonable but nothing special,same with escargot and lamb ragu, salad niçoise chocolate dessert were actually bad, There are so many better French restrauants in NYC, do not waste time money here. Friendly service, Atmosphere just OK. If you find this helpful please follow me. View all feedback. What Gail Melisa likes about Bar Boulud:
The almond croissant has a huge quantity of almond frangipane inside. It is the best-tasting almond croissant that I have ever had. I drove all the way out from Eastern Long Island to eat it, this past Sunday when it was easy to find free street parking. View all feedback.

Dining indoors socially-distanced was strange but Bar Boulud came through with fine food and service. We shall return

It was ok. Food is good but not outstanding. Sitting outside on dark street was not the best experience. Overall satisfied but will not go there again.

This French restaurant in NYC has received a range of reviews from disappointed to delighted customers. Some felt that the food was lackluster, with small portion sizes and mediocre dishes like the eggs benedict and salmon. Others raved about the almond croissant and pain au chocolat, with one customer even driving from Long Island to enjoy them. The charcuterie boards and sandwiches received praise, as did the COVID precautions in place. Overall, the service was friendly, the atmosphere was mixed, and the food quality varied from dish to dish.
