Cafe Boulud

It is one of our favorite restaurant. Thank you for being there. Our door-seating is what is magical about this restaurant. If you just make a reservation, you might end up seated indoor, which is not bad either, but not the same ….(although if you are wearing skirts in the summer night, I would apply mosquitoes repellent before I go. )

What’s not to like about eating perfectly prepared food in a perfect environment. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our lunch this past beautiful Saturday afternoon. Trying to decide between a healthy fish option or indulging in the burger or fried chicken sandwich was not easy, but I went with the fried chicken sandwich. Having had more than my share to compare, this was the best I’ve had so far in so fl. My wife got the lemon ricotta pancakes and luckily we ordered another or for “the table” as they were absolutely the best we have had anywhere, unctuous is an understatement. My friend ordered the pastrami sandwich and his too was excellent, his wife got the avocado toast. This was exactly the lunch we were looking for and will definitely return to try dinner.

A meal with great expectations, esp after the reopening. Food was decent and enjoyable - nothing amazing or mind blowing. Service is professional - not particularly warm or delightful. We had a great somm who made a wonderful recco… a 30yo chenin blanc that had mellowed beautifully while retaining its honey, fruit and minerality. Loved it. People watching is fun. And the cafe is done up nicely. I find that too many tables crammed in the space - thankfully we had a corner table. It would really fare better with more space between tables. Enjoyable evening at a well-known establishment tho am confident that you can get a more delightful gastronomic experience elsewhere. We had a good wine that evening and that was nice.

Atmosphere: 9 Friendliness of staff: 10 Service: 7 Food: 6 Drinks: 7 Value for the price: 5 Café Boulud is located in the beautiful Brazilian Court Hotel, and the setting is undeniably lovely. We arrived early and enjoyed cocktails at the bar, which offers an interesting selection. I tried the Basil Heaven—light, unique, and not too strong—while my husband had an Old Fashioned. The dining area has a charming Palm Beach vibe, and our table was beautifully set. The meal started with the bread service, which was surprisingly excellent. I usually try to limit my bread intake, but their assortment was too good to pass up. For appetizers, we had the gazpacho and smoked salmon—both absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of our meal. For entrées, I ordered the Dover sole, a signature dish, but was left unimpressed. It was a simple grilled filet with a bland oil-based sauce on the side—fresh but lacking flavor. The dish didn’t come with a side, so we ordered the potato frites, which were good but nothing extraordinary. My husband had the potato-crusted sea bass, which was better than my dish but still not spectacular. While good, it didn’t stand out and reminded us of similar meals at more affordable chain restaurants. Dessert was the biggest letdown. We ordered the apple crumble/tart with ice cream, and it was disappointing in both taste and portion size. Even the ice cream lacked flavor. We didn’t finish it because it simply wasn’t worth the calories. Overall, I’m glad we tried Café Boulud, but at this price point, there are other restaurants I’d revisit before considering a return.

Always First Class 5 Star Service! Casual Palm Beach Elegance! We love the vibe of the Lounge.. great place to relax after a long day of shopping on Worth Avenue… The wine is always cold and crisp! The food options are delicious! We opt for dessert! I highly recommend!

Cafe Boulud is a Palm Beach gem! The food is always great. Very warm and welcoming staff. Their cocktails are really good too.

went for our 25th wedding anniversary in 2023 - still talk about how much we loved it! Back in Palm beach & hoping to fit a visit into our trip!

I have to completely change my review, faced with an unacceptable situation for this level of restaurant!!! My friends house got completely destroyed by the tornado that passed through wellington not to long ago. She spent several days dismanling the rubble and other destructions. . And I, knowing that this is her favourite place in Palm Beach, called her to distract her from sad thoughts. We waited for the Menu for more than 30 minutes.Then asked the hall manager to bring us the menu and drinks and call the waiter. And he apologised to us for the long wait. Offered wine. After we ordered drinks, another 15-20 minutes passed and we called him again and asked for our drinks. After that, another 10 minutes later, the waiter came and literally threw a cocktail in front of her face. After that, we couldn't stay there anymore because the mood was badly spoiled by the service of this waiter… 👎🏼 Excellent service and excellent cuisine! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The work of the waiters is at the highest level. Fast, helpful and at the same time unobtrusive. 🙌🏼 My octopus was cooked superbly. Special respect to the bartender! The cocktails are just incredible! Perhaps the most delicious that I've tasted lately. 👌🏼😍 What I didn't like at all was french fries. Completely tasteless🙁

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.

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.

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!!!

The cafe's charming ambiance and friendly service made for a pleasant high tea experience, but unfortunately, the offerings fell flat. The tea selection was limited, and it cooled off quickly. While the food was disappointing, the standout was the egg sandwich, "oeuf à la russe," scoring a modest 6.5/10. We faced a frustrating 30-minute wait for the bill, but good company made it bearable. Plus, complimentary valet is a nice touch!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Spectacular- always. On this particular visit I indulged in The Afternoon Tea- by reservations only from 3-5pm. It is worth every penny that makes up the $65.00 price before tax and tip- well worth treating yourself. A nice assortment of Sandwiches, freshly baked, hot Scones and an array of Desserts that don't disappoint. Included and worth mentioning is an incredible Panna Cotta served in what looks like a Faberge egg. Enjoy!

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.

Greeted immediately 35 th anniversary made arrangements with restaurant. We were sat in a half comfy booth and chair table. They were very Amicable in they offered us a table for 4 for room at my request. And didn't think twice But my wife liked the cozy romantic booth. She was right. Started with osteria caviar tray with all the trimmings excellent wheat blinis, chopped egg , graded onion and Creme fresh. Fabulous a bottle of Far Niente Chardonnay Followed by I had the Duck two nice breasts medium rare. Large portions. Spinach with garlic. We also had Sea bass enpapiote. Also beyond good. The service was excellent. Very friendly and conversational. All very attentive With our Cappuccino they served a raspberry chocolate covered. Something. Also great lol. All in all the food and staff were exceptional

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.

Paid for the privilege. Ate here for breakfast on a particularly beautiful, breezy and cool morning which allowed me to enjoy the courtyard and participate in some people watching. Service was good, but after our food was brought out, I was only checked on once. I had the eggs benedict, it wasn't bad, have had better at mom and pop places. My mom has the mushroom omelette which she enjoyed. All in all, it was an experience :p FYI they automatically add a 20% gratuity on to any bill.

It was just so so! Recently someone asked me my fav Restaurant in Palm Beach....I replied: I can't find one, in spite of the multitude of choices. "Great food" eludes them all with possibly a few exceptions, noted below. Once upon a time I may have said Cafe Boulud, but something's changed, and not for the better. Last night (as well as a recent previous visit) left me disappointed, especially considering the $300 price tag for 2 and I didn't even have an appetizer! We did have the most reasonably priced burgundy on the exceptional, yet pricey wine list, just not ours! We went with friends and I was full of excitement and anticipation expecting to erase my poor last impression; but, it didn't. In fact it only confirmed it. We got off to a bad start when the GM informed us I could NOT have a very nice bottle of wine decanted that I brought,, for which I would have expected and willingly paid a corkage fee. He really wasn't even nice about it. Arrogant you could even say -- his prerogative....and it was the last time he visited the table for the remainer of our visit. After a bit, we had to ask to place our order; then service continued to crawl for the relatively small number of guest. After waiting patiently, and waiting some more, our friend asked to please check on our food...another 10 minutes went by and our meal arrived. I didn't finish mine. The duck l'orange was served with a sliver of gristle on the side -- no thank you. Whatever the side of goulash was looked like goulash...and I detected no l' orange anywhere on the plate! But, this morning my dogs loved the plentiful left overs. The setting in the Brazilian Court is beautiful; the server was polite, as was the hostess, but, regrettably, that's about the best I can summon! In the end, I resented having to pay an obligatory 20% tip for poor service, even though the server likely had little control! Since the notorious fall of the great Greek leaders, each suffering from hubris, one constant surviving the test of time is that arrogance gets em every time! I don't intend to return anytime soon -- my prerogative..... If you are searching for the best food in PB I would rate them: Rinato's; Trevini's and Pizza Alfresco. All have better than average food and exceptional hospitality! I am sorry folks, but, being nice to your customers, without your stupid rules and entitled attitudes makes a difference!

From the front to back of the house expect the upmost level of service. Valet greets you with a warm welcome. Hostess is delighted to see you. The server was very attentive. The white comos is their signature drink. It was beautiful with a frozen orchid floating in the martini glass. I had a 3-course lunch which included this gorgeous plated large portion of salmon with crème fresh and greens. My main plate was a duo of beef, short rib and tenderloin. It came in a truffle sauce and was cooked to perfection. The chocolate dessert with gold leaf was a piece of art and tasted as good as it looked. They have a beautiful outdoor dining courtyard but it was a bit windy the day I dined here. I opted for the dining room which was elegant yet comfortable.

I used to judge restaurants by the bread & now so few NYC spots actually have a good bread service. The setting here is stunning at Brazil Court in Palm Beach & wines are good & pricey. Ate and drank: Dow tawny port Green gazpacho Salad Nicoise Total : $78 before tip Bread was cold with butter. Not freshly baked. This was the brunch menu btw. The soup was a knockout- green with Marcona almonds & green grapes. The salad eh. Cold haricot vert. Very ordinary but the location is extraordinary.

I had brunch one day outside and breakfast the next day inside. While pricey, everything from the atmosphere to service to food was fabulous and worth it. I absolutely loved sitting outside with a view of the beautiful courtyard. The bread and butter were wonderful - that butter! :) the omelette were perfectly prepared and I loved the watercress salad. Perfectly sized meals were expertly prepared. Their famous white cosmopolitan was more beautiful and tastier than anticipated. Highly recommend trying one or two. I lounged and relaxed during both meals and never felt rushed.

Came here a couple times during the month of September for flavor of palm beach. It was a prefix lunch deal for $49. You definitely can go wrong for that price. It was so good the first time I came back with my girls. Of course the whole Brazilian Court hotel is fabulous and very well decorated. The services Top notch. Everyone there is always so nice. I would definitely go back. You do have to valet or find Street parking.

Came here with two girlfriends and we all partook in the tasting menu. Everything was delicious. Our server was pleasant. Our only complaint would be that towards the end of the meal there were a lot of flying bugs that were attracted to the lighting at our table. Fortunately, we were 95% done eating all the courses but one of my girlfriends went to use the restroom and when she returned her dessert ended up having a quite a few of those flying bugs land on her dessert so understandably, she no longer wanted to eat it. The restaurant quickly corrected it though by sending her home with a couple of extra macarons.

First time at Cafe Boulud. Friendly staff. We went to try their Flavor Palm Beach menu. I had the bluefin tuna crudo appetizer. It was good. I had the pan seared bavette steak as my entree. It was very good. The coconut rice from my friend's entree was delicious! She had the crispy florida snapper. It was very good, although she was surprised it was fried (since that was not mentioned on the menu). I had the baked alaska for dessert. It would have been delicious, had there not been an excessive amount of rum poured on top. Every bite had an overwhelming rum taste. My friend had the citrus tart and was not a fan. We both look forward to coming back for brunch and trying more of their menu. Beautiful atmosphere. I had the white cosmopolitan and it was pretty but a bit sweet for my liking (even though I usually like sweet drinks). My friend had some sort of tequila-based drink (that surprisingly came with a miniature popsicle) that she very much enjoyed. I gave 3 stars due to being charged $8 for water. Upon being seated, we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water - we said still.... but it did not come out in a special bottle (not that we expected it to since we thought we were getting regular water) nor were we told we'd be charged for it. If we would have seen it was some sort of special bottled water, we would have turned it away and asked for regular water. They should definitely be more transparent about that.

The property is beautiful, the staff attentive, the food is fine; just be prepared for small portions and big prices.

My sister was celebrating her 15th bday and wanted to go there for breakfast. Customer Service: Beside having a hard time to find the entrance of the hotel customer service was great. We did valet because it is included at no extra cost. Ernst was our waiter and he is amazing, he was checking on us every minute making sure we were good. Excellent customer service. Drinks: I had a bellini, I usually like my bellini's sweeter but other than that it was great. My sisters had lemonade, it was a bit sour so we added more water to it. My dad had a pepperment tea and it was needed. Food: We loved everything we had. My sister and i had an egg benedit and it was delicious, the hollandaise sauce was amazing. My middle sister had the avocado tartine, also amazing and my dad had the mushroom omelette and he also loved it. We had a side of homefries which was different but def was a taste to it with a little bit of extra salt. Price: Pretty affordable actually. We spent $200. Including 20% gratuity and a little extra we gave for tip since Ernst was so great. Want to come back for dinner.

I went to Café Boulud last Wednesday to celebrate an anniversary, hence deciding to try the chef's seasonal tasting menu for 125$ per person. The tasting menu was composed of 6 courses, plus table bread and mini post-dessert pastries. I was disappointed by the appearance of the garden salad on the second course of the tasting menu, which was composed of poorly cut avocados, tomatoes, and mango. I felt as if it really did take away from the whole experience of the tasting menu. Apart from that, all the other dishes were a delight. I would recommend café Boulud for a nice birthday dinner or an anniversary. The atmosphere is quiet, elegant, and the staff is pleasant to speak with.

Went for lunch. Normally the food is very good and this time the turkey club was quite tasty, but not as good as previous times. The more annoying part was being charged $10 per Arnold Palmer, including the "refill". I should have ordered wine.

Fabulous food and great service !! A unique experience in Palm Beach Hardly recommended !!! You are for a treat

Now I know what the rich eat. It's the same exact thing as the rest of us, except they pay a lot more for it. Came here for a special occasion lunch date with the wife because she was feeling nostalgic for NY and always liked Boulud Sud. The staff were great. They gave recommendations without being too pushy. I had the burger and my wife had the Dover sole. The food was good but it wasn't anything special. But with these kind of restaurants it rarely is. For dessert we had the crumble, neither of us particularly enjoyed it. Overall, I doubt I'll be back. I had a fine time but It's just not my thing.

What a fine! Fabulous food and atmosphere. Great service too! I highly recommend this restaurant! My friend and I love to travel to new places. This is our first visit to Charleston. I heard about the restaurant from a review on Facebook. It is hidden down a little side street but so worth finding.

Went last night for cocktails at the bar. So I can't comment on dinner. Celebrating anniversary with DH. What a wonderful time. The bartender Caroline was amazing as was the coworker. The cocktail guru. We had them surprise us with a cocktail and my god amazing. We also got a charcuterie plate with some prossecco. Super Good. I love thé look of the bar and the restaurant itself. I def will be back for dinner or brunch.

The "service" was a sh*t show! He didn't check back after food arrived to learn that 3 of 5 orders were not as ordered. Slow as snails when it was 20% occupied. Our bill got messed up, too. Apparently they don't train staff. Food was ok, but not up to the price point (not as good as Tuesday Food chain, for instance.) ambiance and artwork were acceptable for the upscale nature of the price point.

I was staying at the Brazilian Court Hotel & Beach Club and decided to stop in for lunch, actually brunch since it was a Saturday during brunch hours. The restaurant is elegant and the reviews were excellent. The waitstaff was very attentive. The brunch menu https://www.cafeboulud.com/palmbeach/menus/#brunch is wow, lots of great items, I wanted to order them all. I decided on the turkey club sandwich, chips and a flavored ice tea. Parking situation either valet or 2 hour street parking.

This is a great but expensive restaurant in the center of Palm Beach. They take all kinds of credit cards and the food is incredible. I went there on New Year's Eve with my parents and we enjoyed all three courses. It is located in the Brazilian Court Hotel and Beach Club. It has valet parking.

We really enjoyed this restaurant inside the Brazilian hotel. They have indoors outdoors and garden seating, which are all lovely. Service is what you should expect in Palm Beach as are the menu choices. They have a delicious soup made of cauliflower and curry with apples. that is absolutely delicious. we also recommend their cheeseburger. It is juicy and out of this world. This particular café is known for its white cranberry martini. Be sure to have one and you won't be disappointed.

Easily my most favorite dining experience on Palm Beach. Set inside the gorgeous Brazilian Court hotel, this place was perfection. Started with drinks in the lounge area (not sure if that's part of the hotel or the restaurant), which is beautiful and overlooks the courtyard (also beautiful, but too hot to be outside in August). Food was spectacular, and the service was impeccable. Eager to go back!

I've eaten lunch here a few times over the years and the hotel and restaurant in general provide a really nice setting. The courtyard out back with a fountain is lovely. A valet will open the door for you every time you walk toward one, whether you're a hotel guest or just there for the September prix fixe menu (Flavor Palm Beach, 2022) as we were two days ago. We were seated at a table next the the beautiful bar and we lucked out with this fabulous server, Robilio. He was outstanding. With Flavor PB every September, most participating restaurants give you a choice of three apps, three entrees, and three desserts. I had escargots, hot and delicious. Bread was given with it to mop up the herb butter/oil, but a bread basket was also delivered to the table, something many restaurants don't do at lunch, and plenty of places charge for it! I'll admit that the bread wasn't memorable, but the softened butter served alongside made up for that. I had sliced steak and French-style frites/fries. My friend had the cheeseburger, but it was too rare for her liking -- she had ordered medium. I had to start to eat without her. They brought out a brand new burger, and it was the exact same, reddish pink (it looked incredible to me and I would have loved it, but her taste is not mine). The server agreed and returned it again. You may be wondering why I'm giving five stars. The service. They could not have been more apologetic and professional. While she was waiting, my friend was given a bowl of their unbelievable chilled lump crab and corn chowder. It was amazing (she allowed me two spoons of it). At dessert time we had both ordered the warm chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream, but we had admired the creme brulee at the next table. They caramelize the top with a little food iron right at your table. Our server then gave us one to share, in way of another apology for the burger mishap. Oh, I forgot to say that during the meal, besides our server Robilio, there was a manager and a host who came over to check on my friend and to apologize. As for the warm chocolate cake with the liquid center, I didn't love it. It was like unsweetened cocoa and just not sweet enough for me, but people who like less sugary desserts will be pleased. The creme brulee was perfect. We had a great time, and we were treated so well even ordering from the "cheap" menu. (I mention this because we've been twice to another PB restaurant where we WERE treated like people crossing the bridge for the "cheap" menu.) Cafe Boulud is all class!

This was my 2nd trip to Cafe Boulud and my first trip for Brunch. It was our dating anniversary and we wanted to go somewhere special. We enjoy delicious peach Bellinis, oysters and I had a spinach and salmon eggs Florentine that they made gluten free for me. We sat outside on a beautiful day. They even had a singer set up outside on the patio playing keyboard. It was nice. Not too loud or obtrusive- just a nice peaceful Sunday vibe.

The sole, sooo delicious!!! The desserts, all WORTHY!!!! Croissants made in house, outstanding!!! The super green spinach is actually super green and yummy! This place is probably the best in Palm Beach!!!

Food was great! Everything was delicious! The staff was very attentive, overall great service! The outside patio is a beautiful spot to seat at.

Main room nicer than I thought. Staff very nice but slow. Nouvelle cuisine but adequate. Multiple menus are confusing. Great Desserts.

Not up to the NY location's ambiance or quality of cuisine. In fact I find it hard to reconcile with Ruth Reichl's review of Daniel in NYC. If you can't maintain the quality of your brand you might as well not have other kitchens.

Ours was an anniversary dinner which was both exquisitely prepared, and presented. Delicious by all accounts. Service first class, attentive without pretenses. The dining room is suitable and richly appointed. Expensive. However, during our meal which lasted a bit, a DOG FIGHT ERUPTED in the middle of our entree course in the dining room. Not a quick two dogs snipping at each other, an actual encounter going on for a bit. What in the world is a Michelin starred restaurant doing allowing dogs in the in-door dining room? Is there a dog fight discount available?

I have dined here for many years. The kitchen varies a bit, in style and menu, but it's always beyond excellent. Even though Chef Boulud seldom graces this namesake with his presence, the chefs, year-in, year-out, are top-drawer. The incredibly fresh oysters, East or West coast, are accompanied by a mignonette that is just off the chain good. The menu changes regularly. That's one of the things to love about this place. It has license to inspire both you, and the kitchen; to take you on culinary adventures, rather than becoming mired in the expectations of this or that dish that become hard staples. When dishes get cooked so many thousands of times that any semblance of creation, or inspiration has been wiped away by turning food into soulless reproductions of the line cooks, restaurants die. If you want food of the living dead, go to Rosemary Square, or Atlantic Avenue. Here, you'll get amazing fish, like the Mediterranean bass, and hard to find dishes like the rabbit terrine, along with staple beef and chicken dishes that have the chef's signature takes on them. Even their holiday dinners manage to put a bit of magic into the standards. Our kitchen was closed this year, for a big remodel. The turkey was yeoman like, but sides, like the acorn squash were spectacularly memorable. The bar staff puts out exceptionally good cocktails. They have some pretty rare bourbons, but you have to ask. They were carrying, at this writing, Benchmark, the bottom-of-the-barrel well brand at Buffalo Trace for laughable price. For those who don't speak bourbon, it's like sticking a Big Mac into a restaurant of this caliber's menu. One of many regrettable choices of the bar manager. The cafe is located in the restaurant and courtyard of the Brazilian Court Hotel, one of the "Big Three" on Palm Beach Island. In good weather, try to eat in the courtyard. Of them, Cafe Boulud is the least stuffy, or pretentious, of the bunch. If that's a turn-off to y'all in the Biff and Bunny blue-blood set, so be it. This place has developed a very reliable seasonal guest, along with loyal locals, over the years. I prefer a place where they worry about the food, not your DUNS number. Reservations, in season, are a must for dinner. As a hotel restaurant they do some impressive breakfasts, and fine lunches too. It's $$$$ food, and drink, but we'll worth it where you're here for s special occasion, business meeting, or post Worth Avenue redistribution of wealth spending spree. Parking is valet. Do tip them well. The Bentley bunch of bored broads from Palm Beach island stiffs them, more often than not. "I'm sorry, dear, but I left my purse at the trust fund for a refill. I'll catch you later. Promise!"

Absolutely one of our favorites here we eat here at least 3 times a month. The Dove sole is best in town and the burger is also great! We usually start with the hamachi and it's great! You cannot beat the service and great setting. Hamsid makes the best whiskey sour using egg whites! Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience start to finish. Perfect spot for a first date. Loved the outdoor seating too.

Worst service! If you want to go to a RUDE PLACE just go to dinner on YOUR BIRTHDAY to this "amazing cafe" I went tonight to celebrate my birthday expecting something nice, to have a great moment with my friends and family; the waiter was so rude she didnt even know how to treat people and she is always yelling and she doesnt know how to say "excuse me" or something. We told the host it was my birthday and he was super nice guy! But i was expecting something on my cake and guess what?! Yes i got the dessert i ordered and the ice cream was completely melt im really sad about everything. Hope you guys can find better waiters, and give a better service for special occasions!

I took my lady to Cafe Boulud at the Brazilian Court for a lovely celebration dinner. Without a doubt, this restaurant is a spot where you bring someone for a special occasion. Cafe Boulud is the personification of fine dining in Palm Beach County, if not South Florida. Cafe Boulud specializes in delicious French-inspired seafood entrees, such as the pan-seared monkfish (which I ordered and tasted amazingly, served with the leeks, peas, and chorizo) and oysters (fresh, clean, and irresistible as I discovered). The cuisine is expensive, make no mistake, but worth it, located in a gorgeous dining room and bar with the use of the Brazilian Court Courtyard Terrace for those looking to enjoy outside. The Brazilian Court is a beautiful hotel, perfect for a restaurant such as Cafe Boulud. The lighting was perfect for our occasion, as we celebrated my girlfriend's birthday. The servers were very accommodating with our requests (especially where my girlfriend is celiac (gluten-free)), with our courses coming out at the right time and impeccably prepared and displayed. Their cocktail and spirit selection was quite lovely and satisfying. I ordered their Gold Rush cocktail (whiskey-based), which was terrific. My lady ordered some tasty passion fruit and guava drink, I believe, in a martini glass. Delightful, both beverages were. I ordered a glass of Balvenie 12-year Doublewood after that before receiving the main course. While we enjoyed delicious oysters for an appetizer and I had the monkfish, my lady had the spiced glazed duck with rhubarb and radishes, which was incredibly satisfying. For dessert, I ordered the Chocolate Lava Cake, which I savored with every bite. The restaurant did these gluten-free truffles for my lady with the plate saying, "Happy Birthday." Cafe Boulud was a splendid place to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. The ambiance, the service, the cuisine, everything was done meticulously and with perfection.

Great spot / must experience in palm beach. There's the see and be seen ambiance here but it is combined with great service, good food, and good drinks.

Worth it just to sit outside on the patio. This is a very high end restaurant. We went with a bigger group so had a fixed menu. The food was very good and the service was great. Make a reservation when the weather is nice and enjoy their outdoor dining at sunset/evening time. You won't be disappointed!

Wonderful lunch. Both the service and food are outstanding, as expected from a Daniel restaurant. The drinks were amazing. Great gem in Palm Beach. Looking forward to next visit.
