Was in the area (not by choice) and needed a decent spot for a ladies’ catch up. Space is a little bland given that it’s a Boulud, (pronounced “boLOUUUUUUUU-“, with a silent d) and the average age is a frightening 105. The vibe feels a little hoity toity, even for me, as I consider myself to be high brow, refined and very selective. However, I’m slowly realizing that in reality – my friends and I are actually barbarians who chat loudly and cackle like hyenas, so we knew we couldn’t stay.

While I waited for my wolf pack, I did manage to enjoy a nice glass of Chablis with a selection of their complimentary bread (fantastic). And the food going past me looked pretty amazing and beautifully presented. Service is subpar and aloof, catering to mostly the Lincoln Center, touristy folk. I would recommend going with your most quietest friend who likes to stick to very calm conversation topics. If and when I grow up I will revisit.
