Reviews for The Bocuse Restaurant in Hyde Park, NY
Three courses from a fixed price menu (with a couple options that add a little more), a lot from which to choose with each... course. Each course was delicious and beautiful. Each course came out very timely, dessert surprising took the longest. The onlyissue was that it took a long time to get the bill and to pay it. Read more
This place deserves a 10 star. AMAZING food, perfectly cooked meats, balanced flavors for all three courses. Outstanding pricing... for such good food ($59 for three course dinner!). Waiters/students are so adorable, their diligence is reflected with theservice we got today. I'd like to shout out especially to the main courses. We ordered the maple leaf duck breast, beef shortribs, and market fish. The meats were cooked to such perfection, it was astounding that students made them (well, of courseunder the instructions of a well known chef, but still surprising). The temperature spread across the meat, the tenderness, thetiming, all resulted in meats that were neither overcooked nor undercooked, not even slightly. Flavors were also on point, andthere's always something on the plate to counterbalance the main flavor (for example, the sourness of the veggies complementsthe sweet and savory duck so well). Just wow. And can we talk about how adorable the waiters/waitresses are (all are supposedlyCIA students, so around 18-22 years old?). Some of their actions are slower and feel more inexperienced than the typically olderwaitresses at high end restaurants, but the way they gently put down the plates/ sets the bread, and how a waiter confused thedirection of the utensils and then briskly walked back to reset them, add such satisfactory details to this dining experience.It's cool to not just eat and enjoy, but witness the students LEARN through cooking and serving each customer.

One of three restaurants here at the CIA where students are learning to become tomorrow's great chefs. The menu had some... interesting creations and was well prepared and presented. Steeped in all aspects of the business the students see all is donecorrectly. An enjoyable experience! Read more
Ridiculous! The service is top notch and the menu is so varied you can't go wrong. The best bite of the day by far was the... lobster. Also the best appetizer was the octopus. My goat cheese cheesecake was inspiring! Read more
Faculty & student run modern french. Culinary Institute is definitely A must try! Incredible food tasting menu or not.
Amazing food and I loved the friendly service. The student servers were so friendly and loved talking food and explaining the... different dishes and ingredients. I can?t wait to come back. Boyfriend insisted on giving 4 stars because he felt the managerstried to rush us out at the end and felt that the dessert was good, not great. Read more
Update: we were back few months later. Had to make a reservation few months in advance. When we came at around 7:40pm they... unfortunately were out of a lot of things. Yet everything we ordered was delicious!! The last 4 photos are from our secondvisit. My husband and I had a great experience at the restaurant the other day. We had three courses. Everything was delicious!The service was so professional and attentive to all the details. We enjoyed our time there and the food. From the appetizers tothe desserts everything was great! Chocolate cake was melting in my mouth! The portions were big, I had to take some of therisotto home as I was full after the appetizers and I still wanted to try the dessert. Read more
We loved our meal so much that we purchased a gift card in the same amount for our friend. We've been wanting to drive up here... from the city for years and finally worked it in to a weekend trip Upstate. The campus is beautiful. The restaurant is special.Our server was amazing and she explained every dish. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back. Also- great for allseasons! Read more
