Grand Parisian-style brasserie with strong classics and show-stopping space; excellent steaks and onion soup, lively but tight seating, high prices, and service can wobble at peak or on special events.
La Grande Boucherie delivers A-grade performance through exceptional food quality—onion soup, steak frites, and escargots executed with precision—paired with a spectacular Art Nouveau setting that justifies the splurge for special occasions. However, inconsistent execution on doneness and pacing during peak service and tight seating that compromises comfort prevent grade A territory; this is a destination for the room and classics, not culinary innovation.
One caveat: Seating delays even with reservations during holidays; lines to check in
