    The octopus carpaccio didn't seem fresh, all the pieces were stuck together, as if it had been prepared well in advance. Not much flavour. The duck confit was very salty & I like salt.

    Service was great. We've always enjoyed the service, presentaiton and ambiance. We've been coming for years even before the hotel was rebuilt. The sampling of their vegan chocolate muffin was delicious. Everyone at our table enjoyed it. The other food was ok. We were disappointed that the ricotta pancakes were no longer available on the menu. The "new" pancakes were not nearly as light and fluffy. The toppings were lacking. The menu seems to have been "dumbed down".

    We have had great and good experiences over the many years eating at Cafe Boulud in Toronto - Four Seasons. Tonight - was a GREAT experience. The whole roasted duck for two was simple but so delicious and the two glasses of wine chosen were perfect. With reds, often restaurants have them too warm and when we mentioned it to the Sommelier, he managed to bring it to the correct temperature a red should be served at for us - even those it was an open by the glass bottle. Attention to detail tonight was great and thanks to the team at Cafe Boulud! Merci!

    Truly memorable experience. Waiter Zach was very friendly and professional and the sommelier John was helpful and enthusiastic about the wine. Food was terrific especially the octopuss. Steak was cooked exactly as ordered and the shirt rib was melt in the mouth. Wine topping was like a Swiss clock and very unobtrusive. Highly recommended to anyone wanting a special meal in Yorkville

    We dined at Cafe Boulud on Labor Day evening with a mixed experience. We called to request an earlier time than our original reservation and were told no changes were possible, only to arrive at the pleasant, but 90% empty, room, that, obviously, had seen little activity. Only 6 or 7 groups arrived after us. Strange. Several people wearing baseball caps were seated and permitted to dine without being asked to remove them. This is extremely gauche and unseemly when you are paying $80 per person or more for a meal. Coupled with the insipid, monotonous drum machine background “music,” it resulted in a diminished experience. The food, including nicely-prepared and sauced mushroom tagliatelle and lovely black cod, was quite delicious. “Discounted” parking for our 1 3/4 hour meal cost $25. All in all, unless we were staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, I doubt we would return.

    The place is nice but the air conditioning is bad you can be sweating while you are waiting for the table. You would expect more from them when you are paying for 17$ a plate of 4 pieces of water melons , 2 pieces of melon . And cantaloupe and some pineapple . Love four season but somehow this avenue is a little disappointing.

    I like to try different restaurants and this one came highly recommended I got the six course tasting menu and it was delicious but I think the icing on the cake was our server Dion he knew the dishes he talked about the wine pairings and he even sold me to come back for breakfast the next day. When you have good people who think highly of the place they work it makes the atmosphere that much better. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends, as well as I will be back again.

    If you want a rich French breakfast, hands down this is the best place in the city. The ingredients were such high quality you can tell the chef meant serious business when this menu was put together. I have so much gratitude I live in Yorkville and get to experience all the different culinary experiences they offer at Café Boulud. Chef’s kiss!

    On the menu there were no prices just 2 course or 3 course meal we thought we had to order two courses where lunch is normally one. After we ordered the waiter mentioned ala Carte ordering, which we would have chosen having one dish each. After 3 of us finished our wine two of us ordered another glass Burt he brought a bottle, he poured us each a glass then poured another glass without asking which we had him pour back in the bottle. So two things which made our lunch 700$ . We felt gouged.
