Le Gratin

They probably don’t need another glowing review but I have no choice! I had my parents join my wife and I after we had a our wedding ceremony in City Hall. We were the first clients at 11:45am and from start to finish the kindness of the staff shined through on this very special day for my wife and I. From the champagne to the food, every choice was spectacular. We had too many to document here. The main ingredient to this delightful brunch was the staff. Offering attentiveness and an appreciation for our occasion. We felt truly like a newly married couple having a special lunch with close family. The words don’t do it justice. Forgive me for not remembering everyone’s names but the main hostess was a kind French woman who was truly so sweet..:even when my dad was asking if we were gonna receive anything for free. lol. Two glasses of Champagne later dad is taking a nap. Loved every moment and dish of the lunch. We ordered so many appetizers and entrees. There are zero bad selections. Keep room for dessert!

Great food I was impressed! This is a good option to go for a nice meal, we went for a birthday! We had the restaurant week menu, which had more items than the menu online which was a nice surprise. We ordered the charcuterie and the burrata salad, they accidentally brought us the soup instead of the burrata but they were quick to fix it. The burrata was melt in your mouth, and the charcuterie was different than I expected since it had pate but it was really good! The coq au Riesling was great I highly recommend! The chicken was fall off the bone tender and the sauce was super flavorful. You could taste the bacon, mushrooms and onions. There wasn’t a lot of gnocchi in the dish but with 3 courses I was okay with it since it was a lot of food already. The steak frites was good, but not my favorite steak frites I have had in NYC. The fries were hot but not super crispy. The chocolate cake was the star of the meal. We loved the rich chocolate flavor with the hints of coffee. Overall a positive experience and the restaurant week was a good deal!

Had a celebratory dinner with my old colleagues. The service was great and really enjoyed what we ordered along with the drinks. Ordered the July special which was highly recommended by the waitress. We finished it off with a few desserts to share and they were all good. The vibe of this restaurant was very fitting of what chef Daniel Boulud envisioned of the bouchons in his hometown in Lyon, France. Glad I was able to check off one of my saved restaurants.
