Balthazar

Make a reservation as soon as possible!! Great place for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Had lunch with couple of friends today and it was lovely! Love the cozy ambiance of French bistro feel to it and food was amazing and hands down to their dessert. They do offer amazing selection of raw bar. As starters we had oysters and clams and follow with their famous escargot w/ garlic butter, steak and fries as well as utilizing the bread to soak up the garlic butter from escargots sauce!! Dessert selection was amazing and we had their famous Pavlova + Caramelized Banana Ricotta Tart. A MUST TRY! ???? Service was impeccable from waiter to the peripheral support staffs. Everyone is super attentive. I or we would defiantly come back soon.

It seems kind of hard to find a good French restaurant, but this definitely fits the bill. The ambience is absolutely amazing. Food is also great, but very pricey. It adds up fast. Tables were also kind of small so we had to do some juggling as the food came out.

Some many people in the city told me, "Balthazar is an amazing restaurant." I decided to find a last-minute reservation to go and see for myself how great that place was. I believe their food is good. My favorite dish from all was the endive salad, standard for French traditional cuisine. Though, for me it lacked of intimacy or great service attention, maybe it could have been that all the tables were too close for conform, I think the best service you could ever get from any place is the experience of being there that uniqueness you get from the minute you arrive at the restaurant until your leave. I guess I should not have any expectations from anywhere anymore. That was the only thing missing for me and fresh bread, probably because it was Sunday night, and they might have left over from Saturday.

We really liked the experience here. Food was great and the restaurant has a melancholic French style which is pretty cool. But because it is so big the service was a bit overwhelmed, so may need more patience than usual to get your food or the waitress attention, but nothing crazy. Highly recommend the pumpkin ravioli (!!!)

Great service and care add to the exceptional ambiance at Balthazar in SoHo, New York. Regal spot for brunch but be sure to reserve ahead of time as this restaurant fills up rapidly especially with the exorbitant foot traffic around the area. Solo diners get a complementary champagne on the house which was a nice touch and a great surprise. The bread basket was great, and the coffee exceptional as long as it is delivered hot (one of my top ups was not). The Benedict’s are exceptional with the English muffin and the Canadian bacon being very fresh. The home fries were also made from scratch and so I would recommend those as your side. A great experience for exceptional ambiance and food at this Michelin star restaurant. Sitting in the street booth and sipping champagne, I felt like a celebrity to onlookers! ?

Not usually a fan of French restaurants but had to try this given all hype. Went there for brunch. Got the puff and eggs and the omelette. The omelette and the bread were nothing to rave about but the puff pastry with eggs was amazing. Not much else for vegetarians. For dessert we got the creme brûlée which was amazing. Frankly, it might be a good spot for non vegetarians but as a vegetarian this restaurant was pretty average.

Good place for brunch if you are looking for good ambience. Service is fast and food is decent. Personally nothing really wowed me, and I can’t find myself craving for anything after. But if you are in New York, might as well to go and enjoy the establishment.

It was excellent lunch! Food was delicious,wine was perfect,and the deserts were out of this world! We especially liked Pavlova!!! Service was excellent too. I always loved Baltazar,and that was my first time after pandenia. Everything is as good as it was before. Highly recommend this restaurant. It is really one of a kind!
