"After reading some of the reviews, I was hesitant to come here. I am thrilled my fiance insisted otherwise. The folks leaving the negative reviews are on crack… really poor quality crack at that. We did the 6 course tasting, added the caviar option, and the wine pairing. Every course was amazing. My hat is off to the sommelier; thanks to them I am now desperately attempting to source at least three of the wines by the case. Service was well run and suited the ambiance of the restaurant. My only regret is that I couldn’t finish several courses as I was stuffed. We go to several Michelin restaurants each year and this far outperformed several two starred spots overseas and in the US. This joint focuses on the food and less the pageantry which is why I’m guessing they’re at one star. Just go here - it’s awesome. Bravo Chef Boulud and team."

"We celebrated my friend’s birthday in a very cozy and welcoming environment. While the food was satisfactory—good, though not exceptional—the outstanding service is what will certainly bring us back for future casual dinners. Mr. Hasan delivered truly exceptional hospitality. His gentle introductions, thoughtful engagement, and attentive manner elevated our entire experience, giving us the feeling of a five-star service. His professionalism genuinely transformed our evening and left a lasting impression."

"Huge turndown and will not coming back. While the atmosphere is nice and clean, the food was so poor that the management truly needs to be aware of these issues and fix them. The problems truly started with the main courses. We ordered the steak and the lobster. We assumed these dishes couldn't be bad, as the ingredients are very popular and common, especially in a restaurant claiming a Michelin star. I honestly felt that even non-Michelin restaurants offer better flavor. The steak was too salty, and worse, each of the three pieces had a different level of saltiness. The lobster tasted raw. Literally raw taste in lobster. It was really difficult to cut it and chew it. I was so disappointed. After consuming uncooked lobster, I was sick all night and threw up the next morning. We went to several Michelin restaurants and high end restaurant, but this one it's not worth it at all spending hundreds of dollars."

"Le Pavillon is a culinary sanctuary in the heart of New York City. A stunning Michelin-starred restaurant by Chef Daniel Boulud located right across from Grand Central Terminal. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into an elegant oasis surrounded by a lush live garden that gives the entire space a calm, nature-inspired ambiance. My business partner and I opted for the à la carte menu and couldn’t resist trying nearly everything and every dish was a masterpiece. The grilled avocado was an unexpected standout, smoky and beautifully balanced. The black bass was seared to perfection, while the yellowfin tuna with fennel delivered incredible freshness and depth of flavor. The wild diver sole was perhaps the most buttery, delicate fish I’ve ever tasted, an absolute perfection. Since it was a Sunday, we had the pleasure of trying a special off-the-menu dish: slow-cooked lamb infused with rosemary, herbs, and spices. It was full of flavor, served over farro and accompanied by a fresh salad and hearty cannellini beans with toasted breadcrumbs and carrots. The sides were delicious but almost unnecessary, as the lamb itself was the star of the show. The service was impeccable- warm, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the pacing of the meal to the location where we sat (private garden table.) We even had the chance to meet the chefs preparing both the main courses and desserts- a true privilege to witness their precision and passion in the kitchen. Le Pavillon perfectly embodies Chef Daniel’s signature style: refined, seasonal, and deeply satisfying. It’s a place that celebrates both nature and cuisine in perfect harmony. A must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable fine dining experience in New York City."
