We have been at Daniel’s 5 times and all have been a delightful experience of flavors. The atmosphere is elegant, beautiful and very formal. It’s located at 60 East 65th St (between Park and Madison Avenues) in New York, Phone 212-288-0033.

The baker’s bread - the most delicious assortment of breads. They serve Prix-Fixed Menu; Three course dinner, $96 or six course tasting menu, $155. The first time we tried the tasting menu which was very nice, but we did not get so full as from three course dinner.

Yes, and we are going back, it’s worth the expense, however, for a special occasion.

From the moment you walk into the elegant door there are apples lining the entryway, all fresh from the farm, it smells so good! This wonderfully warm and romantic French restaurant is located at 120 West Broadway in NYC, Tel.: 212.964.2525. The decor is elegant and cozy with couches that line both dining rooms and satin pillows that fill their corners.

Once seated, you’re offered a wonderful bread selection. They have an entire cart filled with all kind different breads; you have choice of sourdough, olive, black pepper, fig and raisins breads. I highly recommend trying the one with the raisins inside and dried apple on top. The bread is delicious.

Everything from the appetizers through to dessert was just to die for. For appetizers we had Sashimi Tuna, Spicy Marinade and Braised Hawaiian Yellowtail with Ginger Aromatic Sauce. We had Maine Lobster and also had the lamb which was amazing but was a small portion. The “mashed fingerling potatoes” were complimentary of chief and have an unreal consistency and taste phenomenal.

You constantly get special additives before, during, and after your meal and the presentation is elegant. We order 2 desserts and but then they brought a series of free desserts and table was full with sweets
Chocolate Frivolous Toasted Hazelnut Dacquoise Chocolate Brûlée and Chocolate Souffle, is perfect for chocolate lovers and the petit fours that are brought out afterwards are a great French touch. When we were leaving host gave us gift bag which contains a fragrant small bread loaf. Bouley is a memorable restaurant and it’s around $100 per person (if you order by menu). I definitely recommend giving Bouley a shot! Warning: Blazers are required for men!
