some one would think that a resuarant that has been open for more than 30 years would know how to run a respect business.my boyfriend & i dine out very often at good places & have been here before;the manager is a complete idiot he disrespected my boyfriend and basically called me a liar. we mistakenly ordered the wrong thing were charged for it even though we did not even touch the dish. didnt eat any of the food paid and left. never coming back

Hands down, one of my favorite spots in NYC. Frisee salad, Scallops entree and Steak Frites are all wonderful. Love dining in the back, atrium room. Everyone is calm and pleasant and doesn't rush you out. I will be back time and time again.

I went to Raoul's with a friend on a saturday night 2 weeks ago. We had one of our best food experiences! Our waiter was lovely, recommending dishes and thoughfully explaining them. My date and I split an artichoke appetizer and then I ordered the Gambons in a spicey sausage risotto and my date the Sea Bass. Both of our selections were fantastic, especially my risotto. The flavors were perfect. The service was excellent and the atmosphere great. Though it was full by 9pm, you were still able to converse without screaming across the table. My friend and I stayed for well over 2 hrs and never once we rushed out the door or hurried. I cant say enough about Raoul's! The ambiance is fantastic, as if once you stepped through the door you had travelled to France.

Raouls has been around for a long time - and has managed not to go downhill. The food is very good, whether it's the perfectly done artichoke with a garlicky dijon mayo, the arugala salad or the hot foie gras appetizer, from which you move on to steak au poivre with intoxicating fries, fish, roast chicken. Prices are in the mid range. Dinner should probably run around $50-$60 with two course and some wine. Location is in the heart of Soho and you have a choice of the bar room, a glass topped garden (that allows you to walk through the kitchen) or upstairs. Having the three rooms means you can hear each other talk. It feels truly French and delivers what you want it to. Service is professional and cordial.

You'd have to work hard not to have a great time at this place. Super professional, friendly staff. Quirky, unique space adds to the vibe: a happening bar, classic banquettes, kitschy fishtank, tables in the back through the kitchen and a fortune teller upstairs. But the real action is in the kitchen. The food never misses. After you've had it once, it's nearly impossible to get anything other than the steak au poivre - it's perfection! The appetizer with snails & polenta is addicting. Not an unusually good value, prices are on the high side ($28-32 entrees), but it's worth it. The wine list is short with some good Bordeaux and Rhone selections at somewhat reasonable prices.

This is a very nice place, provided you can get through the crowd. Here's a tip: get a table upstairs. The food was excellent, as was the wine.
