Profile

At Saul, former Le Bernardin cook Saul Bolton’s small, dynamic menu changes seasonally, but impeccable service and the quality of the ingredients—such as Niman Ranch pork or hand-harvested sea scallops—remains consistent. All the dishes here are superlative, including the flavorful pan-roasted Scottish salmon. Tender medallions of lamb resting on garlic toast will make you long for more, but the warm chocolate cake or Meyer lemon soufflé cake is just the solution. — Sandra Nygaard

When visiting in New York, we thought to have a good Christmas Eve dinner. Saul seemed a good selection havig a special fish menu. Service was little bit hurry but good. BUT first meat was overcooded, not big mistake but not acceptable in Michelin-start reastaurant (at least in Europe). Next dish was swordfish which was realy overcooked looking and feeling like cheap tuna. Typically waitress ask too often if the food is good, but now did not ask. Our fult was that we ate them. Michelin-star guarantees the quslity, please remove it form this reastaurant.

i came here last night and what a great dining experience! the restaurant is small and has a very nice, romantic atmosphere. our waiter was friendly, helpful and attentive. the food was meticulously prepared and delicious! our favorite dish was the foie gras starter, but really everything was amazing. the baked alaska is a must for dessert. we cleaned our plates. we will definitely be coming back to try the tasting menu! i would highly recommend this for any special occasion.
