We had a wonderful time at Le Pavillon today. Did the 6 course tasting menu and the experience all around was fantastic. The dining room, while indoors, has an outdoor feel to it making the room super unique. In any event, I would definitely return here, not only was the tasting menu great, but we thought the price for our meal was fair as well.

Excellent service, beautiful location amongst the skyscrapers, and the food was wonderful! The waiters are always happy to help and provide recommendations. I would highly recommend the lamb, yellowfin tuna, noisette, and the chocolat espresso!

We just went to the bar for drinks but it was very enjoyable. We had a close view of one of my favorite NY buildings- the Chrysler. We ordered from the bar menu - Lobster roll bites, artichokes with a delicious homemade mayonnaise, and the pissaladiere that was loaded lots of caramelized onions. Everything was delicious. The chef- who my husband knew (lucky us!)- sent out as well a delicious fish dish with a small basket of amazing breads and Normandy butter.

This was the best restaurant experience I have had in NY in recent times. The service is formal but cordial. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. The space is airy and elegant. Noise is subdued. It conforms to my conception of what a high-end French restaurant should be.

I had an amazing experience here on my birthday! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and provided attentive, friendly service throughout the meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was cooked perfectly, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was warm, clean, and inviting, making it a great place for both a casual dinner and a special occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!

Bar en Croûte de Sel 🐟 A timeless French classic, our Atlantic sea bass is wrapped in fragrant bamboo leaves before being baked in a delicate salt crust, preserving its natural tenderness while creating a striking presentation. Served with ratatouille farci, Camargue rice, and a vibrant sauce vierge, the dish is a celebration of refined French technique and the season’s finest ingredients. This signature preparation reflects the collaboration of Executive Chef Will Nacev (will_nacev )and Chef Cheng Zhang (jfkzhang_ ). Chef Cheng introduced Chef Will to the bamboo leaf wrapping technique and the artistry behind the dish’s signature salt crust and presentation, elements that continue to define this iconic Le Pavillon classic. #michelinstar #danielboulud #finediningnyc #nycrestaurants
