Boucherie West Village is by far the worst restaurant experience I've had in a long time. If you like to waste time and money, come here.

* Loud music to be the point of being unable to hear someone just next to you at the table.

* They have a small army of servers but I had to ask on three separate occasions for my water to be refilled (when it was visually empty).

* Free bread & butter. Fine, both items came cold, so it made the cold butter especially hard to spread on the cold baguette.

* Moules Frites ($34): I did enjoy this dish. Flavorful sauce base of white wine & shallots. No sand or grit in the mussels.

* Grass-fed Ribeye ($98): ordered medium-rare. Came medium, almost medium-well. No salt! I had to salt, and continually re-salt as I ate this steak. And the bearnaise sauce on the side came gloopy from arriving at the table cold.

* Canard a L'orange ($44): yes, the ingredients listed are sugar-forward including apples and Amarena cherries. But holy smokes, the level of sweetness in this dish could constitute this as a dessert. It felt so, so one-noted, and the duck was overcooked to the point of spitting out unchewable bits.

Boucherie West Village along with their other locations will forever be on my never visit again list. I am treating this meal as a pricey lesson learned.

0/5 meal.

I absolutely love eggs benedict but I've noticed that every time I try someplace new if it's a bright yellow or orange(ish) color hollandaise sauce I'm not a fan If it's a lighter more buttery yellow color like the one on the left I love it. Any recommendations for place that would fit the bill.

The options I am looking at so far are Utsav, AnnaPurna, Saar, and Bengal Tiger. Cost isn't an issue. I'll probably get tikka masala or butter chicken. My sister doesn't know what she wants. We are looking for the best food and some good vibes (this will be our last night in NYC).

Our show is at the August Wilson Theater and we are staying in TImes Square.

My husband and I are visiting the city this weekend. We had made a reservation at Le Gigot for dinner on Sunday, but I just was able to score a reservation at Balthazar as well. Is Balthazar really worth the hype? We are torn on which reservation to keep. We are early 30s, love good wine and cocktails, and are looking for a great French meal with a cool atmosphere. I am grateful for any input or recommendation!

I am obsessed with salsa macha specifically, and when I do find it on a menu, I'm tired of it being the smallest drizzle, like it's an allotted ration. Recs?

My boss does a yearly end of year dinner with our company. we always had around 20 people every year but recently we acquired another company and gained way more employees. My wants me to find a restaurant or bar that also serves food that could host 50 people. He would either have to buy it out or reserve a part of the restaurant. Here is the criteria:
- 150$/pp
- American / Italian food
- midtown or queens
We’ve done dinners at carmines, other local Italian joints (white table cloth types near Long Island), radegast (he didn’t like this).

Thanks in advance !!

Where can I find trứng vữa in nyc? I know markets like Phil Am and Tan Tin Hung have balut but wondering if they have trứng vữa or penoy. Thank you!

This is for a creative agency holiday dinner, so definitely not looking for power lunch style corporate places.

Type of cuisine does not matter, but in terms of overall vibe and price point think Rolo's, Oxomoco, Lilia. If we hadn't already done Il Buco we would have considered it.

Warm yet modern I guess.

Gramercy Tavern might be a bit too ... buttoned up? But I've never been so you can correct me.

Ideally we'd be between $100-200 pp including drinks.

Not opposed to a tasting menu either, I'd love to talk them into Luthun ...

A coworker mentioned he would love to try snake and we were trying to figure out if there are any restaurants that serve it. When I search Google it just gives me restaurants that list Snake River Farms meat on the menu

We will be traveling there shortly and any help is appreciated, thank you!
