    I always like the Reign, since its first day opening. I like the regal setting, the decoration, the service and the warm and experienced faces of the servers. The food is equally good and the portions are quite big to give the customers their value. I will always go back to the Reign when friends are in town, when my children came to visit and each and every celebrations.

    Our first time at Cafe Boulud and we enjoyed a delightful breakfast! The restaurant and hotel are absolutely beautiful. The service was fantastic and attentive - given we were there on Christmas morning we really appreciated the servers and hosts giving the impression there was no place they'd rather be. The food is delicious - everything was done really well. It will definitely be on our list of possibilities for future special occasions

    Incredible food and service. We’ve been a few times and my fiance is celiac and they’re always very accommodating but it feels like pulling teeth trying to find out what’s gluten free and what isn’t. It happens every time. A little bit more food and menu knowledge would go a long way in her being comfortable eating what’s brought to her.

    We came with our family just before Christmas during the Christmas Market time. The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. we were welcomed quickly and shown to our table. We were a large group -7- but our table had plenty of space and was not cramped. Our food arrived quickly and all of us enjoyed our food. My son-in-law loved the Beef Tartare and the Oysters. He had some concerns about recent evidence of tainted oysters in other locations but our waitress was able to explain which types of oysters had been gained and to reassure that none of those oysters were served at Cluny. The Black Cod en-Papilotte was also described as delicious -spicy but not too much, interesting. Two of young men had Flat Iron steaks and pronounced them perfectl! Cluny felt like a special place to dine and they did not disappoint . A very enjoyable meal in a lovely setting.
