Our first time at Cafe Boulud and we enjoyed a delightful breakfast! The restaurant and hotel are absolutely beautiful. The service was fantastic and attentive - given we were there on Christmas morning we really appreciated the servers and hosts giving the impression there was no place they'd rather be. The food is delicious - everything was done really well. It will definitely be on our list of possibilities for future special occasions

Incredible food and service. We’ve been a few times and my fiance is celiac and they’re always very accommodating but it feels like pulling teeth trying to find out what’s gluten free and what isn’t. It happens every time. A little bit more food and menu knowledge would go a long way in her being comfortable eating what’s brought to her.
