La comida tiene muuucho aliño

Cynda Hill

Steak Frites as excellent as 8 years ago!! Jeremy, our waiter was wonderful!!

Jacob Merritt

Good food, presented well. Seating is a little close to neighbors.

AJ Lee

Excellent service!!! Cheese soufflé is the best ever!!! It’s worth to share. Everything we ordered was great.

(Translated by Google) Disappointing the deal. I ordered menu. With wine it was 9 euros more. At first I didn't want to but then I told the waiter that he had changed his mind and brought me a drink. "Chardonnay?" He asked me and I said ok and when the bill comes they charged me $ 18 for the wine instead of the extra $ 9. The excuse is that the chardonnay did not enter the menu ... and how would I know ?! If I go from the menu, the normal thing is that if they offer me something out of the menu they tell me or they put the wine on the menu directly. I complained to the meter, who told me that he understood me but he did not apologize or change the account. In the end it turned out to be the cheapest glass of wine in New York because for the first time I did not leave a tip ... and I would have left $ 25 to $ 30. And they seemed surprised and all in spite of the treatment and my anger. I guess that in this restaurant people should shut up or this is usually done only to foreigners. I hope that the next day the waiter won't tease anyone else and learn. (Original) Decepcionante el trato. Pedí menú. Con vino eran 9 euros más. Al principio no quise pero luego le dije al camarero que había cambiado de opinión y que me trajera una copa. "Chardonnay?" me preguntó y dije que ok y cuando viene la cuenta me cobraron 18$ por el vino en lugar de los 9$ de más. La excusa es que el chardonnay no entraba en el menú... y cómo iba a saberlo yo?! Si voy de menú lo normal es que si me ofrecen algo fuera de menú me lo digan o me pongan directamente el vino del menú. Me quejé al metre, que me dijo que me entendía pero ni se disculpó ni cambio la cuenta. Al final resultó ser la copa de vino más barata de Nueva York porque por primera vez no dejé propina...y hubiera dejado de 25$ a 30$. Y parecieron sorprenderse y todo a pesar del trato y mi enfado. Supongo que en este restaurante la gente debe callar o esto lo suelen hacer sólo a los extranjeros. Espero que el proximo día el camarero no le tome el pelo a nadie más y aprenda.

LUCKY US to have La Goulue only 2 blocks away. I love their tuna tartare and Dale loves their onion soup. I love their sole meuniere. Dale has really liked everything she's had there. The restaurant is gorgeous and although it's busy, there's no problem hearing each other. In a few months they will be opening a restaurant in Palm Beach. LUCKY US.

The service was awful; the food tasteless; the atmosphere cramped and noisy.

Kelly Phitoussi

It’s delicious!

La Goulue was a mid-town staple for years, first in the east 70's and then, for years, on Madison in the 60s. As if by magic, it reopened in its current location - same menu, same decor, same great food. In fact, it is even better now. It is very French in looks and feel. Hard to choose what to eat from the wonderful selection. Food is fine French, but way beyond bistro. We were a party of four and everyone loved it. Service is attentive but busy, food is really good. The drawback is that the restaurant is very, very loud.

Dino Rivera

The food is fantastic. The service exceptional. The ambience is chic old french. My new favorite french restaurant!

Magnus Johansson

A great spot with extremely friendly staff. Great french food. We enjoyed the monk fish...

Faye O

Excellent food and service. The food is five star quality. Excellent quiche, the bread basket is a treat for the table and highly recommended. The avocado toast is amazing and an excellent starter. The drinks are very well done even if you go off menu.

Nikkie Smith

Very good food .Clean environment.

Nrupesh NYC

Food could use taste, I can tolerate but that's a personal choice. Squeeze in as many people as possible which I can also understand. Not recommended based on service ( or attitude?). Ultimate in level of cheapness. Asking for bread and you'd think you are trying to grab a fresh kill from a pack of hyenas.

G gremillion

Good food, but very hot in restaurant. Don't sit in the back.

Elvis Baez

Great hospitality . Delicious

doug anderson

We were delighted when it moved just 3 blocks from our house and we've come for dinner a couple of times/month. We particularly like tuna tartar, onion soup, risotto and whatever fish they have on the menu. Service is terrific. I loved La Goulue in the 70s when it was on 70th Street between Madison & Park. They lost me when they moved to Madison Avenue. In this incarnation, we love it

Excellent service, very good food!

Ed Lowenthal

Great to have this old standby back

Yannis Katsaounis

good food ,typical French bistro. Tables very close to each other.A bit too noisy.

Robert Berry

Food was decent but not brilliant, which is what you would expect for the prices. Lots of stuff on the menu wasn't available (which was weird as we came in at 7). The restaurant was very cold. Wouldn't go again.

Alicea Castellanos

Service was extremely slow. Not sure if it was because it was Sunday but they seemed to be understaffed. It took a while to place my order and I was very disappointed when the last piece of the dessert special was sold to the previous customer when I waited about 30 minutes to order dessert. I am not sure if I would give it a second chance, perhaps in a few months since I do live in the neighborhood.

oliver Littley

Impeccable service

Greg Dembs

Still the best!

rajeev sakha

busy restaurant for high end customers.

jeanny carpio

The food its just exquisite. The restaurant has an original Parisienne atmosphere, cozy and warm!

Ann Elliott

Basic French. Simply stated very overrated based on the reviews and overpriced. Steak tartar very basic. Brussels sprouts salad, left behind on my plate and my associates plate. When the plates were removed, the staff did not question our full plates. Btw, expect to pay high $$$$ for mediocre food. Service was okay. N't interested in going back.

Landon Thorne

Excellent food. Great bistro ambience.

Chloe Phitoussi

Great choice for celebrating a special occasion: delicious and classy. I loved the sole and the souffle.

Benny Ashurov

very good

Ms. K

I couldn’t believe the food was so mediocre. You can pay twice as less and get the same in other restaurants. I was very disappointed. Also, I was overcharged for the wine which only adds to my decision not to give this place another chance.

alice glass

Our experience at La Goulue was delightful in every way. The atmosphere, service, staff and food were excellent.

Lera Korytska

Great service, cosy classy atmosphere, delicious food. Had tuna tartare, Dover Sole and profiteroles. All were delicious, tuna and sole didn’t even stand a chance of being captured in the picture- gone so quickly. Over all lovely experience. The only wish is to have some nice French music in a background to take and atmosphere on to the next level.

Nicholas Mclean

I just like their dishes. I always get awesome service there. The place is always clean and the cashiers are always friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Jonathan Guez

Great food, awesome atmosphere

William Martin

Very pleasant atmosphere where one can still have a conversation over dinner.

Zach Backar

Fantastic food filled with beautiful people

Bill Newbold

Pleasant service and very good food

Benjamin Sberro

Yes! la goulue is back and it’s awesome ! Great French brasserie. The staff is most of the time professional and friendly .Wide variety of french delicacies. You may experience a feeling of being rushed , just tell them to slow down! On the pricier side but ohlala it’s worth it !

Francesca Gnudi

A french experience in NY

Suzanne Friedman

Excellent fish, salads, cheese soufflé and deserts! Great service.

Lisa O

What a horribly pretentious place. The Manager made us wait even though many tables were open and the coat check person was equally as rude, referring to each male as darling. I feel sorry for the wait staff who worked hard to compensate for the front of the house staff. There is no reason to navigate the rude treatment when there are so many other great restaurants in NYC! Shame on them.

Riccardo Di Capua

Excellent food, splotchy service.

Juan Gabriel Rodriguez Gonzalez

(Translated by Google) French restaurant with exquisite food. On Sunday it has a prefix brunch for $ 42 that includes an alcoholic beverage, an entree and a main dish. Very rich.

Amanda Babcock

Amazing food! Great service. Romantic.

Arthur Shatz

Crowded and noisy. Food is good but not exceptional, and bit over priced.

Anna Xxxx

Upscale and elegant ambiance, the food is good but not super impressive (gluten free quiche was just nice, profitroles were good), the service is attentive and caring. The only real minus is that tables are located super tightly.

Evelio Acevedo Carrero

Stephen Schuler

Tremendous food, tremendous service. Very top of the class in every regard.

Ron Reagan

I used to love the real La Goulue. Unfortunately the woman answering the phone this morning was so horrifically snotty - basically hung up on me - that I lost any enthusiasm for this recreation. Hopefully the management will kick her to the curb before she turns away more customers.

Eveline Gerck

Terrible service. If you are a woman forget it you will be sent to the table close to the bathrooms. All good tables are given to men, old men. It was great on Madison now went down hill. Women, stay away from this place!

William Bowen

Delightful

Kenneth Broder

It was okay, need better brunch menu

Ferrell Hancock

Love it

nicholas de marco

Excellent food with old world French ambiance.

Karl Finegan

Excellent dining experience. At last a true French bistro on the UES. Every dish was excellent. Service also was seamless.

Been twice in 2 weeks. Excellent location and nice decor. Good service and good food.

Ana Veiga

If you are pro human rights don’t go! Me and my husband had the worst experience in this restaurant! My husband uses a scooter for diseable people and they were unsanely rude about parking the scooter inside! This never ever happened to us un any other place! The manager was so rude and tottaly doesn’t caring about! Even the woman that was in charge for the coats was “ you can’t leave the scooter here because I will not be able to get the coats” like we were parking a plane! Clearly the place is not adequate to NYC accessibility laws. A big shame!

I loved the old La Goulue so was very excited about its reopening. Unfortunately, my onion soup was full of bread-could not find onions. The 30 plus ounce steak for two was ordered medium rare. It arrived incredibly, incredibly rare and was sent back. We tried to alert a waiter after quite a while to check on our steak without avail. By the time we were able to get a waiter to retrieve our steak the rest of our party had finished their dinners. There are quite a few secondary waiters who seem to be in charge of only pouring water (also clearing plates) so it seems ever time you take a sip of water they are invading your personal space constantly and annoyingly refilling your sip of water. Hope the management can fix all of of this as a bill well north of $300 was presented that included one glass of wine, one bread soup (!) and three main entrées and two desserts.

Howard S.

Loved the old La Goulue and this incarnation does not disappoint!

RAM IMAGERY

I have not had such a good brunch in a very long time. Glad to see this place be back. The staff was wonderful. Our waiter a total French delight & the Manager, Greg, extremely charming. From the white suggestion all the way to dessert, it was truly a wonderful 2 hrs. My NY strip steak was perfect. Temperature, texture, flavor & cooked to perfection. Same goes to the French fries. Definitely will be coming back for dinner & highly recommend it. Great atmosphere, decor & almost felt as if you were not in NY...

Rami Rabayah

Really great place. Plz order the tuna tartare. It is delicious.

Ar-Rahman Buskey

Great

This review is only for the quality of the food. I had steak with French fries. The steak was probably frozen for a few months, before it was cooked - not sure what cooking technique was used, since it was tasteless, and the butter with herbs on top could not add to the taste. The french fries were 100% frozen from the bag, and also tasteless. To sum it up, this was fast food quality with table service on 61st street and Madison Ave. NYC's restaurants are loosing their touch, since this is becoming the norm in most restaurants - either microwaved food, or overpriced eggs for the "treandy" branch. Hope the quality comes back.

We missed it when it was gone & they haven't skipped a beat. Cool Fun. Upbeat. Try to sit in the front even though it can get loud.

Peter Coll

Excellent food and service, but tables too close to each other and LOUD.

Lauren Laguna

I'm vegan so I couldn't eat much (vegans, don't go here hungry!). But I was there to be with my family so it wasn't a big deal. I don't expect to be able to eat anything at French restaurants so it was better than I thought! The staff was AMAZING. Seriously the best bunch. The atmosphere is great too. I would recommend to all non-vegans for sure.

Lauren Knowles

Traditional, old school French restaurant. Amazing service, amazing food, and amazing experience. LOVE the atmosphere. I feel Iike I’m in an old Hollywood movie when I walk in. Can’t go wrong with this place.

sibettega

Our experience at la Goulue turned out to be very noisy. We were seated next to a group of approx. 30 young women celebrating something - not sure what - and the noise was unbearable. We were hardly able to carry on a conversation. We had to leave to have coffee and desert somewhere else.

RC Flores

Great food at the perfect location.

Eve Holmes

Just went once many years ago. Loved it. Hope to go this May when I travel to Manhattan.

Maria J Martinez

Excellent

Jason Lo Presto

It's fine. Typical upper east side restaurant.
