“ 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... ”
“ We went to La Goulue to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It has been on our list for a while and we finally decided to try it. The interior is cozy and charming, we loved it. The service was impeccable, our waiter suggested a Bourgogne that went with fish as well as meat. Great recommendation! The food was incredible too, we started with the escargots, then I had the special of the night which was a perfectly prepared seared tuna, and my husband ordered the scallops. Finally, we had the souffle for dessert which I highly recommend! Overall, a great experience, we will be back! One down side, the table next to us was rude and not only squashed into the booth (encroaching on our space and crushing my bag), but then when I expressed annoyance, they complained about us for the rest of the dinner. This is nothing against the restaurant though! Just something to note. ”
“ While I'm not a huge fan of French Bistro style restaurants, LA Goulue knocks it out of the park in regards to that department. The whole lunch experience today from the food to the service was fantastic! The restaurant was packed, and I see why, I thought the menu options were great. This establishment even serves sushi, and it was, surprisingly, really good. We will definitely be back! ”
“ La Goulue is a gem — classic French elegance with outstanding and high quality food. Every dish is beautifully executed, from the perfectly cooked duck to the decadent souffles.

“ The entire experience at La Goulue New York was simply delightful. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and attentive staff catering to our every need. The food was absolutely delicious, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. Despite the flawless service and mouthwatering cuisine, we encountered a minor hiccup with a slight delay in receiving our receipt, coupled with an initial mix-up with the bill. However, these small issues did not detract from the overall excellence of our experience. To sum it up, La Goulue New York exceeded our expectations with its delicious dishes, cozy atmosphere, and outstanding service. We eagerly anticipate returning for another memorable dining experience. ”

“ Cozy French restaurant with delicious food and super attentive and friendly staff. We had some sushi (no picture tho too hungry) and main dishes followed by desserts. All good The only issue (small tho) at dinner it gets too packed so be aware to get the occasional bump in your chair at peak hours. Steak tartare was so good and fresh ”
