One of the top French cuisine restaurants in NYC. Everything from decor to service is top tier! I’ve been going to all Boucheries in NYC for years and highly recommend all locations. I ordered the steak skewers from their Green hour/Happy hour along with a dirty martini. The steak was good, just wish there was one more skewer for the price, maybe an appetizer is better value. Martini was very good and service was 10/10 professional and attention to detail always.

Food was absolutely delicious, the staff was outstanding, and the atmosphere was adorable! My partner and I ate here before a Broadway show this month, and their pre-theater menu did not disappoint. The prime steak frites were incredible — I actually ordered the Bavette en Persillade but was so glad my partner shared theirs because WOW! Our server, Sophia, was wonderful — so knowledgeable about the wines and menu options, and she made sure we were really well taken care of. Funny enough, I realized later that I had eaten at Boucherie (their other location) about four years ago with my sister (she reminded me when I told her about it!). I’m terrible with names, so I didn’t make the connection right away, but it was just as amazing back then. I even found a photo of my breakfast from that first visit. The food this time around was so good I forgot to take a picture before diving in! Truly such a charming spot — consistently excellent food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommend this place, especially before a show!

Lunch at Boucherie Union Square was absolutely lovely! The Boucherie burger was excellent—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Our server, Ben, was awesome—friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The mimosas were spot on, and the asparagus was delicious. On top of all that, I just love the look and atmosphere of the restaurant.

I wanted to treat my aunt to an amazing, fairly high end lunch as she is well traveled and highly intelligent. I made a reservation here and it was above my expectations. Food was amazing, fresh and well presented. Service top notch. Elena and Anais went above and beyond. They secured my luggage as I HAD A FLIGHT LATER IN THE DAY, they chose an amazing bottle of Sauv Blanc which we loved. Crème Brûlée top tier. Highly recommend. Thank you BOUCHERIE, special thanks to ELENA AND ANAIS for making a lunch that my aunt, will never forget.

Pretty classic restaurant that everything will be nice for all kinds of occasions. We can for a friend’s birthday and servers professionally helped us celebrate. Dick leg was surprisingly delicious. It was a seasonal dish. The skin was crispy and the sides were flavored. My friend’s burger was ok. Desserts were classic. I would recommend the chocolate tart.

Adrianne was great! Spending Thanksgiving at a restaurant isn’t my typical tradition but between the food, drinks and service I may change my mind about a ‘home’ Thanksgiving. I never wanted for anything, Adrianne was always there to bring me what I requested. I’d highly recommend!
