  • "The service was great. Our waiter was really looking out for us and our needs."

Cons:

  • "We reserved a table for two on Christmas Eve. We arrived on time and waited for the hostess to seat us down, who wilfully ignored us despite me telling her we had a reservation and then she proceeded to seat customers who had no reservation."
  • "The service is inattentive, and we sat there for a long time with lots of servers walking around yet none making any eye contact or being available."
  • "Even though it wasn't busy the wait was still long for the food even though a lot of staff seemed to just be socializing amongst themselves."
  • "After which the waiter disappeared for 15 mins."

  • "Ambient is great, food is a little salty, service is horrible. We waited 10mins for our waiter and another 2mins for our food to arrive."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Had dinner and must say that everything was executed perfectly."
  • "The steak frites and ribeye were cooked perfectly and incredibly tasty."
  • "Food was delicious. Croissants were great, americano was great, croque was good, the eggs with lox was delicious!!"
  • "One of the best meals I had this year."
  • "Their steaks were some of the best I've ever had."
  • "We ordered the foie gras and the mussels. Both were so delicious, and they were generous portions."

  • "The food was not that great especially for the price."
  • "Do not recommend, everything is under-seasoned."

Pricing

Pros:

  • "Great example of how you should get what you pay for."
  • "This restaurant is definitely on the expensive side, but in my opinion it was money well spent."

  • "The food and drinks were fantastic here, everything we ordered, they were tasty and delicious."
  • "The food was great as expected."
  • "The Tomahawk rib eye was juicy, tasty and perfectly cook according to our liking."

Cons:

  • "In terms of pricing, everything was definitely on the more expensive side."
  • "Being as pricey as Boucherie is, it should be better."
  • "For a place like this charging over $10 for a side of fries, the fries should really be thickcut and seasoned with more than salt."
  • "It took over an hour for our drinks, the cocktails being a slightly high $19."
  • "But, let's face it, we have now 'normalized' very high prices in NYC."
  • "Steak was fatty and the fries were decent."
  • "I did think the food was overpriced."
