Excellent service and delicious traditional French cuisine. It gives the feeling of being in Paris. The onion soup is the best in New York. The steak au poivre is tender and the sauce…ask for extra bread. The wine selection is very well put together and offers many different options for different occasions. In short, my wife and I will come back soon. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access on the ground floor.
We recently dinned at La Goulue s supper club...it was the most amazing experience, the food was beyond excellent. The short rib sooo succulent. The dancing and the music... was SOOO much fun.. I would absolutely recommend and I will be back! I give it a 10 out of 10 on every level. Special thanks to the staff and amazingly talented Chef Antoine!
See....I love this place for the ambience alone. But last night's meal was disappointing. Overcooked fish which quite frankly is the worst way to eat anything and the service - very rushed and impersonal. I've been before - last Christmas on a beautiful late December day and had the complete opposite experience. Perfectly cooked fish and my husband raved about his steak frites. The service was attentive and oh so friendly. So I'm going to give La Goulue another try but maybe not on a busy Friday night. The cook staff just doesn't seem talented enough to keep up.
Love the Ambiance, Menu and Pastis! Fantastic restaurant for a business lunch or birthday dinner that’s sophisticated!
I have been to this establishment a few times. Food, staff, ambience is outstanding. Was there to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The appetizers and desserts were amazing. Three of us ordered the duck l'orange. I have had this dish in several other french restaurants, including Paris. The duck was disappointing. The portion was way to small, the duck was tough and more like steak than duck. The peppercorns detracted from the overall taste of the dish. I did NOT say anything to the waitstaff because two others in the party seemed to be enjoying it. After dinner, I found out they had the same thoughts as I did. I mentioned it to the server who told me had I told her right away, she would have brought me something else. This was MY FAULT - not theirs. At dessert time, they brought a fruit tart which we did not order, but was their way of doing something to make me happy. As I love fruit tarts, I was in heaven. I would go back in a heart beat, but just would not order the duck!
We’ve eaten here several times. The atmosphere is a warm French bistro, the food is very good, the service is lacking (our food came out and we had to clear our own plates from the previous course), but the staff is friendly at least, and the wine is uninspired and overpriced.
