replying to u/mulleargian: What did you think of it? My husband made a reservation but I’ve been dubious based on the sheer commercialization of the Boulud name. Although the smoked salmon at Wholefoods is very good.

replying to u/PMPOSITIVITY: Something I don’t see mentioned enough is Le Pavillon by Daniel Bolud. They have the most unique christmas tree setup in the city IMO. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmjlOA5IqI5/ Not the biggest fan of Bolud’s food the times I’ve tried it, but also haven’t done it enough to definitively speak on the quality.
