Raoul's New York Reviews from The Last Year
This is what a bistro in New York City should be.
The place was packed but somehow cozy. Noisy yet somehow intimate. We had a world-class experience. The salad frisee was lovely, the steak au poivre was perfection, as were the fries, and the wine we chose from their wonderful wine list (I recommend their Bordeaux selections) was served at the right temperature, which is a huge deal if you are a wine aficionado. The service was great-- Naomi was quick, funny, and delightful. Is it expensive? Sure, but my goodness what a treat and well worth it. This will have been the first of many visits going forward.
Raouls
I grew up going to Raouls before I could legally drink. Had my first Bordeaux here in the early 90s. Also had my first frisée salad, escargot, and steak au poivre here as well. I still order the same whenever I go back. They used to have a tarot reader upstairs by the bathroom but I haven’t seen her the last couple times. The place is packed with photos and art that was traded for food. Thomas Keller used to work here! It’s a true classic. As OG as it gets!

I cut into it before snapping the pic, but it was absolutely fantastic. A little heavy on the peppercorn, but it gave it a nice kick. The service and vibe were amazing as well. A small space but it hit all the right marks!
Snagged a last minute resy for Sunday brunch.
Burger hack: usually their legendary burger is limited at the bar only. On weekends there is no limits and folks comfortably walked in with no reservations table and bar at 11. Speaking of the burger, this was a tasty creation with au poivre sauce served on the side. You're told to dip the burger in the sauce. Definitely worth it. This was a juicy bite. I wasn't thrilled with the fries, compared to belthazar or minetta tavern but nothing I'd send back. Worth coming back for more
Amazing service & food.
Steak frites was everything I hoped it would be. Might be my favorite spot in NYC.
I have been going to Raoul's since a teenager in the 80s
I have been going to Raoul's since a teenager in the 80s and remember eating in the garden when you had to walk-through the kitchen. The food was always good. The vibe was always warm and there were a lot of regulars up through the 90s in early 2000s. Something happened post Covid I don't know if it's Instagram or some other societal change that I've missed. It's no longer worth the money. The food is good enough and to be sitting around a bunch of people taking photos for Instagram that makes me want to vomit. Somehow, Raoul's now reminds me of Bitcoin at $70,000, a bubble that's going to burst
Upon walking into Raoul's, you know it's going to be a
Upon walking into Raoul's, you know it's going to be a great time. The restaurant is fairly small, very crowded, and spacious all at the same time. The service was very friendly and the food was excellent. We ordered the Maine lobster tortellini for an appetizer, and each got the steaks. The tortellini is a very small portion, but was delicious. Next time, I want to try the steak tartare. The steak au poivre was highly recommended & did not disappoint. The peppercorn heavy sauce is unique and tasty. I wish we were able to try their famous burger, but I believe it's very limited availability at the bar only. Reservations release on Resy at 8am 30 days in advance.
I had been dying to try the burger for a year.
Therefore, I decided to visit for a Sunday brunch at 2/25. The burger itself is perfect. Cooked to medium rare, balanced between crust and juicy. But what takes it to another level is the gravy. It should be a wine base, with bouillon de boeuf, which is a huge beefy compound that enhances flavor of the burger. The bistro is a bit too dark for a brunch vibe. However, I was not on a date, it did not bother me at all. I requested to seated at the bar to not occupy a table for two. The bartender was so welcoming and friendly. He constantly check if everything is fine. Although sometime I was soaking in the burger so that I kinda hesitated to respond Lol. After all, this comes to the top of my burger rank in the city.

Loved Raoul's! Got an early res on a friday at 5:30 through beli. Ordered the bread to start, the ham croquettes, steak au poivre for the entree and ended with their apple tartine dessert. The steak was cooked perfectly and the pepper sauce was 10/10
Raoul's fulfilled my expectations.
We sat next to a fish tank which immediately improved the vibe. The martini I got was just the way I like it (lemon twist vermouth rinse with kettle one). The escargot was delicious. The steak and frites were so yummy with the sauce. It is expensive so keeping it for a special occasion might be a good idea. Our server was great and spoke French.
Nice brunch today! Had mimosa trio - pear, strawberry, and
Nice brunch today! Had mimosa trio - pear, strawberry, and mango purée and a bottle of champagne. We shared amongst 4. Must get. My husband and son got the burger. I and my son's girlfriend ordered the chicken schnitzel. The stand out aspect was the professional, helpful amd attentive wait staff. Great food and atmosphere.
Great Vibe
Raoul's is a great vibe, food is slightly above average but always a good time
Food Is Well Executed And Solid.
Raouls in the Soho Building is a classic French restaurant. The wait to score a seat here is ludicrous. It has been around since the 70's and survived all things disastrous in NYC and just seems to get better with time although there is no Michelin Star on the horizon. Raouls offers fine steak, fish and Alsation cuisine in a cozy, friendly atmosphere. The dinner menu sports classics like: Maine Lobster Tortellini, the signature Steak au Poivre, Pasta Al Ceppo with braised Lamb and the much sought after, French-styled house Cheeseburger. I devoured my Cod with Scallops & Shrimp, with gusto. The food here is well executed and solid.
A Fun Night of Food, Drink & Conversation
We had a great night at Raoul's ! We showed up without reservations. The place was absolutely slammed. We ordered drinks at the bar and bided our time on the second floor up the winding staircase. There is comfy seats up there where you can have your tarot cards read. Once our seats were ready at the bar we made our way down. We were served throughout the night by the charming Angus. There was a crush all around us having a good time ordering bottles of champagne. We tucked into frisée salad, roast chicken, mussels with frites & a very delicious bottle of Bouvier Marsanny white. All the dishes were simply prepared and spot on. The staff were friendly. Everyone around us at the bar were very approachable in striking up conversation. I think you'll enjoy yourself here.
Perfection
Great Birthday Dinner for my boyfriend. Service was excellent, entrees were flavorful and good portion size. Would highly recommend.
🤩
The service was impeccable. From the moment we walked in, we felt well taken care of by the attentive and friendly staff.
Delicious. Love the atmosphere.
Sincerely, I have no idea where to begin. It's hard to put into words how great my four-course lunch at the Modern was, but the cuisine was excellent. Unquestionably, it was my best experience at this restaurant for excellent dining.
Not good enough at that price
We’ve been going to this restaurant for years on every trip to NY but this time we were very disappointed. I ordered the seared foie gras at €36. My husband and I were going to share it and thank goodness we didn’t as you practically needed a magnifying glass to see it. A very small portion though it tasted good. My husband was happy with his oysters. Then I had lobster risotto $56 which was claggy in texture and covered in Parmesan which should never be added to an Italian seafood dish. It was also very salty. My husband ordered the dover sole at $76 as it is his favourite fish. He expected a whole fish but instead he got a pile of smaller fillets. Again not great. The bill with 2 beers and one cocktail was $260. We will not be rushing back although the place was full so presumably most customers are happy.
Go to Raoul’s!
Definitely check out Raoul’s if you’re in SoHo. Our dinner was extremely enjoyable. Our waitress (didn’t catch her name she was blonde and had a really great sense of humor!) was awesome, she was super friendly and gave us great suggestions. You can’t go wrong eating here! We went on a Wednesday night, didn’t make reservations but we were able to snag a seat in their outdoor area which was a cool NY experience.
Institution
I love this place and I come every time I visit New York. It’s classic French with a New York vibe. It’s the grandmaster at this. I’ve had to dock it a mark this time for overcooking my steak. It’s only fair. Still love it.
PASS
Way too overpriced! Snobby attitude at the front; very dismissive. Food was just o.k. Tons of better French places in NYC. Would not recommend this place; would not go back! On top of that, the atmosphere is misogynistic. HARD PASS.

Everything is delicious, service is feisty.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.
