I really enjoyed my experience at Maison Boulud. The staff was very helpful & friendly. The food was perfectly prepared albeit the main ourselves was a tad underseasoned. The bison carpaccio made for a great start. The black garlic mayonnaise complimented it very well without overwhelming the meat. The fish was also delicios but the shrimp bisque sauce lacked that special taste that bisque sauces have. Both desserts that I tried were perfect but the German chocolate cake has more creme that cake. The molten lava cake definitely made up for everything. It seems pedestrian, however, the caramel twist made it very special. The mini-madeleines capped the evening excellently. The wines recommended by Julienne (a wonderful host) made for an experience that I'll repeat again.
I forgot about the foccacia bread; to die for!
& my second dessert, Chocolat Coulant Cake Caramel French Sea Salt Caramelized Milk.
It depends what you're looking for but this place felt very cookie cutter in terms of the food & atmosphere. It's very'white table cloth' traditional french cuisine. There wasn't much originality or flare in the food. Although delicious, I don't think it was worth the price. They are also selling 20$ wine for 110$ with a 3.8 rating on vivino. The wine selection felt like a scam to me.
It was an extremely lovely experience with exceptional service. I appreciated very much the recommendation of wines & drinks, the knowledge of the waiter in explaining to us the dishes, & the excellent quality of the meal. The quebec lamb melted in my mouth despite being cooked to the recommended medium level, & my wife thoroughly enjoyed her veal. The dessert was also decadent, & ended our evening very nicely. The anniversary surprise was also a super nice touch!
Pricey! $55.-$21. For a glass of wine? Yikes. Chalk it up for being housed in the Ritz hotel. This restaurant is good but not over the top extraordinary. Service was exceptional however, there were several long delays in our five course vegetarian chefs menu. Some of the dishes were artistically plated. The colors & flavors seem to mailed together. We couldn't quite tell if there was a theme of white asparagus or not.
Dining at this acclaimed restaurant was an incredible experience. The service was top-notch, adhering to perfect table etiquette from the warm greeting at the entrance to the personalized attention from the waitstaff. The food was astonishing & beautifully plated, perfectly complemented by an exquisite wine selection & cocktails. For my wife's special occasion, she was even treated to a complimentary dessert that made the evening truly memorable.
I've been there at least a dozen times since it has opened… both on personal lunch/dinners or on business events. It's been consistently a great experience . The menu is both inventive & beautifully executed. The service is attentive, but not overbearing. The cocktail & wine list are excellent (although the wine list is devoid of good deals…). Overall, a great experience
We stayed in the hotel so we dined here twice during our stay. Once for breakfast & once for dinner.
Breakfast experience.
The service was impeccable & very friendly. Servers actively spotted for anything you needed before you asked. The first cappuccinos we got were wonderful & velvety. The second were full of grinds & had no foam really. This was a minor issue but for the price, should never have been served. The food at breakfast was a solid 2* on the buffet. While the selection was nice, everything intended to be hot… was cold & dried out. Everything intended to be cold… was room temp. Overall. Not a great experience. For the price they could be refreshing that buffet entirely several times during their breakfast hours.

Dinner experience.
Overall it was a great experience. We went for the tasting menu with wine pairings & while not every dish was to our taste, they were all inspired & interesting. The service was fantastic all around.. everyone we encountered was very pleasant & went out of their way to ensure a great service. The wine pairings were excellent & absolutely on point. No complaints about dinner whatsoever… although of course insanely pricey.
I'd recommend it for dinner & would say to pass on breakfast. There are better options in the area with fresher food at a better price point for breakfast.
Maison Boulud is an absolute gem! From start to finish, every bite was a delight. The Volcano Lava chocolate dessert was simply divine, rich, indulgent, & perfectly executed. The wine pairing was exquisite, enhancing every flavor on the table.
But the real surprise? The burger! As someone who usually avoids carbs, I couldn't resist, & it was absolutely worth it, succulent, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. & let's talk about the octopus salad. WOW! Fresh, tender, & beautifully seasoned.
