Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Balthazar Restaurant & Bakery from around the web.
"The deserts looked delicious, but at this point we were stuffed, and fairly annoyed at the French family sitting to our right, who’s manners had deteriorated beyond belief...."
"I punctured a single egg, and soaked up the slow ooze of yolk with roasted potatoes and declared it a wonderful day...."
"oooh, this one was wonderful! A million layers of thin phyllo, each one brushed with butter, base to a filling of frangipane and sweet pear slices. A thin layer of blueberry preserves rested between the frangipane and phyllo...."
"Had I not taken the steak-recommendation call from San Francisco in the taxi on the way to Balthazar, you can be absolutely certain that I would have chosen the Duck Confit with crispy potatoes, wild mushrooms and frisee salad as my entree. As it was, I l..."
"Â The car got very warm - people started peeling their outer layers off. Â Somewhere in there the announcements indicated the fire was more serious than first thought, the smoke was being sucked into the tunnels, stations were closed, trains being termi..."
"Every NYC restaurant resource said it was one of the very best for brunch. I went with my boyfriend and it was good, but I wouldn’t say the food was inventive and memorable...."
"You can feel the exhilaration as soon as you enter this bustling French brasserie which caters to a high quotient of luminaries and assorted fashion police. Keith McNally`s golden touch has made Balthazar the downtown restaurant of the moment, just as his..."
"Well, since these dispatches are coming to you thanks to my little sister, I thought I'd include a shot from her recent safari to Kenya. (As an aside, she reports that their first night in Nairobi they "went for nyama choma, the national dish of Kenya, at..."
"Really, the best way to enjoy Balthazar is to come in the off hours -- for breakfast, lunch, or a midday meal -- to enjoy the excellent fare in a more relaxing environment. Weekend brunch is busy but enjoyable, but reservations are a must...."
"Being that it was freezing with windchill, we proceeded to sit in a McDonald's, the only place open. I munched on an egg McMuffin, officially the first time I've had McDonald's in years...."
"The person who posted a review of Balthazar as "Disappointed Foodies" under the caption "Poor experience" is obviously being less than genuine (to put it mildly). He/she begins his review by suggesting "We have been loyal customers of Balthazar for some t..."
"Schiller's may be Keith McNally's newest nightlife nexus, but Balthazar is his masterpiece, an evocation of a Paris brasserie that outglows anything within Brie-tossing distance of the Seine. for all its visual impact and despite McNally's uncanny skill a..."
"After disappointing reviews from NYM's Adam Platt & NYP's Steve Cuozzo, it suddenly seems McNally's not quite as invincible as he once was. The powerful wizard behind the curtain has lost control over the land of Oz...."
"Specialties: Steak frites; chicken reisling; brandade de Morue; oysters; Balthazar salad with romaine, mache, frisée, raddichio, fennel, radishes, asparagus, haricot verts, ricotta salata, beet, avocado and lemon truffle vinaigrette...."
"Mario Batali's passion for Italian food permeates this 5-year-old restaurant. Much like Paul Bertolli at Oliveto in Oakland, Batali makes his own salumi, including coppa, soppressata, guanciale, lardo and pancetta...."
"There's really nothing quite as exciting to Blognut as a happenstance Donut-encounter. It's like finding a $50 bill in the parking lot of Target, only better, because the reward is a Donut...."
"Had dinner here a couple of weeks ago and thought that is was an absolutely fabulous restaurant. Tables are close together, but so are all of the restaurants...."
"Bakery-cum-brasserie Balthazar turns out the best breakfast in town, a $10 tour de force of baked goodies dubbed Le Panier. Varying by day, it includes the choicest morsels from the patisserie next door...."
"Next we had the Steak Tartare ($15), which, as with the Soup, is an excellent judge of a Brasserie...."
"When it is this difficult to get a table, you know something has to be special about Balthazar. A recreation of a French brasserie, it is bold, loud and exciting...."
