    I had the best time! La Grand Boucherie has such a beautiful ambiance. Feels very chic when you enter. The bar is stunning. The staff was very friendly, bathrooms very clean. For starters my friend & I shared the ceaser salad. We each had a glass of Sancerre, perfect compliment to our meal. I ordered the Filet Mignon au poivre - it was perfection! I tried my friend’s Bavette au diane which was also fantastic. We shared a side of haricots vert- they were great as well. For dessert we shared profiteroles & the chocolate caramel tart. A great way to end our meal! Sooo good! The chocolate was not too sweet & not too bitter- it was practically perfect with every bite! The service was fantastic. The perfect last supper before my travels… Can’t wait to come back!

    This was a treat for Valentine’s Day ( we fly home on Valentine’s Day ) I prefer a big meal at lunchtime and this place did not disappoint, the service from the front door to everyone that brought our food / drinks and cleared up was excellent. The food and ambience were fabulous and add the great service and it makes it one of the most enjoyable meals of my life We started with the butter service garni ( I had read about it ) and a couple of cocktails, the drinks were lovely and the butter service was all and more than I expected. We had the steak frites and a spiced chicken Caesar salad but here’s also fantastic with a glass of the house Cabernet Sauvignon for he with my steak and a Provence rose for my wife very tasty I enquired about the opera cake ( it’s only fir dinner service ) but we turned our frowns upside down when the salted caramel gateau arrived and was a beautiful show at the table and was sublime along with a couple of lattes we had the most wonderful dining experience and by New York standards it was a bargain at $250 plus tip Honestly treat yourself to a great meal and experience and eat here
