This is a really great UES bar scene and it is not just for drinking cocktails. The full Cafe Boulud menu is available at the bar (plus the bar menu), so if you are dining alone this works well. The food at Cafe Boulud is of course excellent. The service is also excellent. They are happy to let you eat a la carte from the various menus. I have to say that I’m sorry to see the shrimp toast going away as they move their round the world menu to another cuisine; it was quite a moving experience. The foie gras torchon was excellent. Serving oysters with chimichurri is a unique and welcome spin on accompaniments. The scrambled eggs with truffles, a signature dish for Cafe Boulud, had a large amount of Australian truffles shaved on while you watch (that’s a good thing, not a bad, of course). The sliders from the bar menu were executed perfectly and had all the salt, acid, and fat to make them darn near perfect. In any case they are worth having. The duck breast was also executed exactly correct and the braised fennel was extremely, how shall we say, precise in terms of consistency, texture, and flavor (again, that’s a good thing not a bad). The desserts had really interesting seasoning and flavors, often enhanced by herbs. Overall I had a really nice meal and evening. - Charles Lamb
