    What an interesting experience, when you walk you feel like your about to enter a different world. We sat down and were greeted with a professional manner. As we sat at the table, there were bugs flying around, these ants landed on our food landing in my hair. We had to address to the manager, and they came over and moved us. We sat another table. It was lovely. The menu had to be explained to me cause it's in another language, which is was perfectly fine. It was a beautiful French restaurant. The decor was absolutely adorable. We ordered a few items for dinner and then the food came out in a timely fashion. Our guests were so much fun. We laughed and laughed. It got a little loud at the bar, and then it got a lot a lot louder at the bar. Our food came in, with all the respect the prices on the menu did not reflect, did not reflect the food that was put on the plate. I know that's a different way of eating. I guess I'm not used to something like that but when you pay $53 for a piece of fish and you'll only get maybe 3 ounces and the plate is decorated. I guess that is not for me. What we did order was absolutely delicious, as we were leaving the bar area was so loud and so crowded. I didn't realize that we were walking into a disco club if I had known that, then we would never have gone. As we left, all we saw was the DJ everyone dancing and with all the respect, I didn't think that was the type of place that chef Boulud really supported. For me that was a one and done. I will not return.!

    Scones

    Found it via google and it did Not disappoint. First the coffee was solid. A very good cappuccino that dis not need sugar added to it. The scones for a starter: where do I begin? We were pretty hungry after church so we startled with coffee and scones. Wow. I've never had such amazing scones--buttery, soft, not dry and flavorful. The Devonshire cream was perfect with French vanilla beans. I am not over it and just need these shipped to me. Starter salad: smoked salmon with greens in a potato hash basket. Good refreshing satisfying. The ideal warm weather app. Main: Dover sole with yellow rice and au jus. Very good. Nice and lite, perfect as a summer lunch. Chicken with creamed spinach and mash potatoes: very good especially the spinach. Dessert: Panna cotta with mango sherbet and tropical fruit pieces--amazing and refreshing. Birthday dessert: the waiter said it was a rice de leche mousse but it didn't taste like it. It actually didn't have a ton of flavor and we couldn't tell what it tasted like. Overall great experience, great service from Curtis and the team.

    Cafe Boulud has been on my try list for a while and my boyfriend just took me as a surprise. We had a hard time finding the restaurant at first once we found street parking but when we located it, it was beautiful! Dimly lit but a candle at our table - this was romantic. I hands down wanted the beef tartare here. I loved the tableside presentation and it tasted very fresh. There were a few items I would try but we ended up splitting a tomahawk steak and sides. Presentation was everything. The server made sure we received sauces to go with our meal as well. There was a hiccup where they sent us the wrong type of spinach but the server let us keep it and came back with the correct item, cream of spinach for us. Overall this was an amazing meal with a very aesthetic view. We loved the food. It was a bit overpriced but it was a nice splurge.

    Exceptional! Especially for brunch. The French omelette is the best with mushrooms and a beautiful lightly dressed salad. The white cranberry cosmo is a must try. The patio and courtyard areas are simply stunning. Top notch experience always.

    Bread - nothing special about it all so I didn't even mention it in my review

    This is my second time having dinner at this restaurant. Both instances were for my boyfriend's birthday. **Plenty photos!** I love dining on Palm Beach and normally the offerings are absolutely fantastic. That's one of the great things about living in this area is that you can literally have five star dining experiences all the time right around the corner from your house. I was a bit disappointed with our service. Our struggled with simple things like pronunciation of the menu itemsNot that it was a big deal, but it's almost like she was questioning herself and therefore struggling to articulate the names of the dishes but also the details of each dish. She did make good recommendations for us, though. I think that was just pure luck though lol. I felt like the service was a bit canned, there was nothing special about it. It seemed like she decided to give a positive recommendation for everything we asked about. I appreciate straightforward honesty when it comes to recommendations from servers. Especially at a place like this where I'm expecting top level service. The food items were great overall. I didn't care for the charcuterie board, but I didn't order it. Someone else in my party did. It was also very small for the price. But that wasn't a shock or anything, especially in this economy. It's just something that I'm noting. The other apps were, steak, tartare prepared table side, and a dozen oysters. The oysters were by far the best app. I gotta say I like the idea of steak tartare, b/c of his cousin the ever so delicious tuna tartare. But I would never order it. Again, someone else at the table ordered that appetizer (it was the man I love y'all ). The entrées were the pasta that they swirl around in the cheese wheel at table side with shaved black truffles, the halibut with vegetables, and the shrimp with risotto. Everybody enjoyed their meals, but we did notice inconsistencies with the cheese wheel pasta! The first portion was amazing. The second portion was OK. And the third portion which was placed into the cheese wheel last had the most oil in the bowl, and the least cheese flavor and presents in the bowl. That third portion of pasta sat there for the longest so it cooled off, and it didn't heat the cheese will properly when it was put inside and swirled around. So they need to work on that. We overheard some confused discussion about who was gonna do what task in the presentation of that cheese when pasta. Maybe if they figured out ahead of time (and not at table side lol) then we wouldn't have had that issue. For dessert we ordered the peanut sponge cake, the chocolate and almond mousse, and the cheesecake. The chocolate almond mousse was by far the star. The other two desserts were beautifully presented, but the flavor configuration didn't do it for us. The ambiance was beautiful as always, but there was no sign of the valet when it was time to leave so we had to grab some one to find the valet and get the car brought around. Another review giving it to you straight no chaser! Enjoy!

    Filet w/ Oxtail stuffed cabbage/ Duck fat potato
    Grover G.

    Chef Daniel Boulud is amazing! Everything I tried was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and at the right temperature. The Tuna tartar was fresh with crunchy chips, the Pate had the perfect texture and paired amazing with all the accoutrements but the star of the show had to be the Filet with Oxtail stuffed cabbage, it was cooked a perfect med rare with a fresh herb sauce on the bottom. Bar drinks were also good, got a margarita and a mezcal Black manhattan. Portions are quite small and food took a little while to arrive. 15-20 mins between courses. But deff Recommend to anyone in Palm beach.

    This restaurant is located in the Brazilian Court Hotel & Beach Club. Beautiful interior. Valet parking. Walking to and from the restaurant, it smelled like mold in the walkway. Hopefully that smell is temporary. The food was good. Enjoyed everything: foie gras, pate, crusty bread, loup de mer (fish), tomahawk steak, salad (basic but fresh and crisp), potato puree, my white cosmopolitan cocktail, The tomahawk tasted a tinge gamey for me. The truffle cacio pepe was decadent and delicious. We tried the raspberry sorbet meringue, chocolate (lava) cake with pistachio ice cream, something like a Snickers/Twix cake with ice cream. The service was attentive, but we were disappointed that they didn't move us to a larger table to accommodate our large order. The table was uncomfortably full that there was a "danger" of knocking stuff off. Indeed a fork went flying off the table.

    Love the "Palm Beach" relaxed atmosphere the Lobby Lounge has.. the vibe is classic and magical! Cafe Boulard lounge has comfortable seating... the couches are perfect for a relaxing cocktail or glass of wine after a day of shopping on Worth Avenue .. the service is always warm and welcoming! It's one of our favorite places for a glass of wine! I highly recommend!!!

    This upscale French restaurant located in Palm Beach in the historic Brazilian Court Hotel, close to Worth Avenue is an award winning restaurant. Famed Daniel Boulub, the famous Michelin chef offers an exquisite menu. We each had the three course Price Fixe special lunch menu $52 currently offered Monday to Sunday. I had the Salad, Grilled Wahoo and the Chocolate Cake. Everything was so delicious. My friend had the Sole, $15 more. It looked and tasted great until her last bite which she said was terrible. She didn't want to say anything. Other than that, it was a great experience. A 20% gratuity is added to the check. The service was very nice.

    I came in on a whim on a Friday morning to enjoy a quiet breakfast after a contemplative walk on the beach. For the uninitiated this is a 1 Michelin-star restaurant owned by Chef Daniel Boulud. I have been eyeing this restaurant for a few years so I took this as an opportunity to scope it out. I sat at a corner table facing some of the beautiful greenery visible through the outside windows. The morning light in the room is wonderful. I was wearing a more casual dress at the time. I did not look out of place but I would say for dinner look presentable. I enjoyed the New Yorker toasted bagel, with smoked salmon, red onion, green olive schmear and sun-dried tomato. Beautifully presented. The real star of my dining experience were the scones with Devonshire cream. Divine. Scones like none I had ever had before. They came out warm and the cream when applied melted beautifully onto the crisp outer surface. I will never have another unwarmed scone again. In fact, all other scones will be compared to these. They set the bar high. The service was top notch. Unobtrusive but attentive. While I was there a food photographer was taking photos of the next seasonal lineup. I got to meet the head chef and the general manager. Both great people. If you choose to come for breakfast on a weekday it is quiet and serene. A group of 5 women vacationing came in while I was finishing up my meal and they were a little more boisterous. I think one day I may come back for lunch or dinner. I do think that this experience was well-worth it. The price is what it is - you are paying for the ambience, service, and the food which is par excellence. Definitely a place to have a commemorative meal.

    Taste of Palm Beach: pan seared Bavette steak
    Shannon W.

    Amazing ambiance, impeccable service, treated like kings and queens, incredible cocktails, 8/10 on the food. We came here for Taste of Palm Beach - 4 of us. We arrived early and grabbed a cocktail at the beautiful bar. The gin cocktail I had was outstanding! When our friends arrived, the wait staff gathered our drinks and walked us over to our table, which was a very nice table! We all decided to try different appetizers so we could share: the beet salad and the tuna were clear favorites. The tuna crudo had a very unique flavor, citrus, creamy and tart. Total flavor explosion! The pate was super heavy. I can't recommend that one. My gf insisted we split the loup de mar grille for dinner - the fish was sea bass. We didn't end up with the sauce we wanted so they gave us a substitute and a free side dish. The fish was okay. I wouldn't rave about it, but the sauce was tasty. The roasted squash side was incredible though! My fiancé and his buddy had the steak. They said it was eh. The service from beginning to end was perfect though. The minute I needed more wine, they were there to pour me some! For dessert my fiancé went with the baked Alaskan, which I think was the best one! I did the tart, which was okay, 6/10. The pastry cream was eh and the tart was basic. I had been wanting to eat here for over two years, so I'm thrilled we finally made it. The service blew me away, so I will definitely be back. I have been to other Daniel Boulud restaurants and was never disappointed. Taking into consideration the entire experience and not just the food, I'm still giving it 10/10.

    Dessert - meringue, raspberry, peach - no dairy.
    Barry D.

    OMG - absolutely amazing food, service and ambiance. The bill is not for the faint of heart and includes an automatic 20% gratuity. There was a fixed price menu and an a la carte option. Definitely a special occasion place for most people. It is tucked in a boutique hotel. There is a huge patio area that I guess would make a great spot for happy hour.

The place is tucked away and low key on purpose, but once you step inside, it's like entering another world.

You simply tell Vincent what you're craving, and he conjures it with a flick of the wrist, a dash of bitters, and probably some ancient incantation whispered under his breath.

It's beautifully decorated and truly Instagram-worthy. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed, making it a great spot for a special outing or even just to enjoy the ambiance. Our waiter was also excellent, attentive and efficient, he also made sure everything flowed smoothly throughout our meal. That said, there were a few downsides. Upon arrival, valet service was disappointing. Several employees were standing around talking while only one person was actively working, which caused unnecessary delays. Both the car in front of us and our own were left waiting longer than expected. Food-wise, while everything was good, my meal arrived warm rather than hot, which took away from the experience a bit. Also, our food did not arrive at the same time. For a restaurant at this level, I expected better attention to that detail. Dessert was also a bit underwhelming visually as I was expecting something more polished and presentable to match the overall aesthetic of the restaurant. Overall, RH delivers on atmosphere and service at the table, but tightening up the valet experience and food presentation/temperature would really elevate it to the next level.
