Such a stylish restaurant with amazing food and truly great service! The place felt like a serene oasis, surrounded by beautiful trees and an incredibly spacious, elegant setting. We absolutely loved the lobster, truffle mashed potatoes, and dessert — every dish was delicious and beautifully presented.

What a gorgeous room, what flawless service, and what food so beautiful you briefly consider framing it instead of eating it. Our dinner at Le Pavillon was nothing short of spectacular. The menu offers a choose‑your‑own‑adventure of deliciousness—each course with multiple options, none of which you’ll feel good about skipping. And the wine list? Exquisite. There’s a perfect pairing for every course, every palate, and every budget, whether you’re feeling “responsible adult” or “let’s pretend we’re royalty.” We loved every minute of the experience and will absolutely be back on our next trip to NYC dining—because once you’ve eaten here, it’s hard not to make it a tradition.

This was my second visit since 2023, and I’m so happy to be back just before officially moving to NYC. Every dish I ordered was exceptional and never disappointed. Each ingredient was thoughtfully paired and complemented the others beautifully, exceeding my expectations. Definitely looking forward to coming back again for another wonderful culinary experience!

From terre to mer, a celebration of the season. Colorado lamb saddle with fava bean, squash blossom farci and lamb jus. Bar en Croûte de Sel with ratatouille farci, Camargue rice and sauce vierge, wrapped in fragrant bamboo leaves and baked in a delicate salt crust. Two expressions of land and sea, guided by the ingredients at their best. #DanielBoulud #MichelinStar #NYCRestaurants
