If you're looking for a healthy balance of well-portioned food, beautiful decor and some prestige for your special occasion dinner, La Goulue is the place. I've seen many fancy restaurants serve smaller portions for three times the price they're worth; one place in Brooklyn averaged hundreds of customers at dinner time every day, clearly not needing exuberant prices to stay in business, yet serving small portions that leave you hungry. This turns away many potential customers who don't have $300 to spend on a 1/4 a steak. At La Goulue, though, the food was pristinely-presented, tasty and filled us up. The decor is simple but elegant, the place was air-conditioned, intimately-designed and never crowded. While the seats were a bit stiff, we were still comfortable the whole time. The service was sharp, warm, and deserves praise for efficiency. Between appetizers, the complimentary bread and the exchanging of old plates and new dishes, the servers cleaned with precision and without intrusiveness. They deserved the high tips, and they were all dressed for success. This type of traditional service is refreshing. Overall, our 5-year anniversary dinner was pleasant and we felt full all night (and we arrived at 7pm). We even received a complimentary glass of wine for the occasion, which was a nice surprise. For your anniversary, birthday or special occasion dinner, this is a traditional, recommended experience. Regarding price, remember that it's not the place to go every week for most of us, however, for special occasions, it's worth treating your partner or treating each other to high-value food and service with a classy atmosphere on top of it.
