- JJuneGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis is an excellent restaurant in the theater district. The managers and staff should be applauded as well as the NY Fire dept. when a pipe burst over the door creating a massive waterfall during our dinner service in January. They all sprung into action and had the damage under control in a very short period of time. The food was delicious and the concern from management and staff for us was exceptional. Thank you for a memorable evening.More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6
- OOliviaMinneapolis - St. Paul •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had the most incredible experience! Our server Kazi was incredibly attentive and played a large part in making our tea time feel special. The tea was fantastic (we tried the mint, lavender, and fruit infusion) as well as the desserts and sandwiches. On top of that, the architecture of the room is breathtaking. I can’t wait to return!More infoThe Palm Court at The Plaza HotelPrice: Very Expensive• American• Midtown East•4.4
- LLeaNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoDining at La Grande Boucherie was an unforgettable experience. I visited with friends, and everything from the ambiance to the service was exceptional. We started with the tartare and octopus, both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I had the steak, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. To finish, we shared a variety of desserts, each one exquisite and a perfect ending to the meal. Our server, Nikola, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. A remarkable restaurant I can’t wait to return to!More infoLa Grande BoucheriePrice: Very Expensive• French• Midtown West•4.5
