Best Date Night Restaurants in Upper East Side

An Exceptional Evening at La Grande Boucherie Dining at La Grande Boucherie was nothing short of spectacular. The combination of impeccable food, a refined atmosphere, and excellent service made for an unforgettable evening. The Food I opted for their ribeye steak, and it was, without a doubt, one of the finest cuts of beef I’ve ever had. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, the steak had a beautifully caramelized crust that locked in all the rich, robust flavors. Every bite was tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Paired with the ribeye were their smashed potatoes, a simple yet elevated side that brought the meal together. Creamy and buttery with a hint of garlic, they were the perfect complement to the richness of the steak. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was elegant yet inviting. The Beers To accompany my meal, I chose a couple of IPA beers from their thoughtfully curated drink menu. The first was a bold, hoppy West Coast IPA with citrus and pine undertones that paired beautifully with the richness of the ribeye. The second was a hazy New England IPA, bursting with tropical fruit flavors, which provided a refreshing contrast to the hearty meal. Both beers were served perfectly chilled, enhancing their flavor profiles and making them an ideal match for the steak. The Atmosphere and Service La Grande Boucherie’s ambiance is something to behold. The stunning décor, with its grand Parisian brasserie-inspired design, added a layer of sophistication to the evening. Despite the upscale vibe, the atmosphere remained welcoming and warm. The service was equally remarkable. My server was attentive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about helping me pair the perfect beer with my meal. Their genuine passion for the menu and dedication to making my experience memorable was evident throughout. I want to thank Omar and Regina for their Amazing treat I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Always delicious food! The chicken bolognese was the best dish on the table. The pasta making experience was a lot of fun. I took some out of town guests. I would definitely do it again!

It’s was excellent and exactly what I expected. Adrian was a pleasure and took great care of us.

Unbelievable experience from service from waitresses to bus staff and hostesses. Will most definitely be back. Food was phenomenal

A new neighborhood favorite! Outstanding service, exceptional food, proper cocktails and a feeling of pre-Covid NYC smart and chic that’s been sorely missing from the UES dining scene. Please keep the secret ;)
