Raoul's New York Reviews from The Last Year
I can definitely see why Raoul's has a great reputation! I
I can definitely see why Raoul's has a great reputation! I loved the vintage theme of the restaurant with ambient lighting, portraits all over the walls, and even a super tiny staircase leading to the upstairs bathroom. The food was great! The steak is definitely a must try. The meat was cooked perfectly, and the fries were super crispy. The peppercorn balanced perfectly with the sauce and gave it a nice little kick. It was a unique, buttery, sauce that left you wanted to dip the steak in more. The service was great, they even brought me more sauce. The burger was also really good. The bun was soft, the burger was juicy, and the condiments complimented the dish as a whole. I was told that during dinner time, only a certain amount are released. I would definitely come back for more, if I get lucky with a reservation again :).
Don’t even bother
Food is barely average and service is rude and slow. Over-hyped and not worth any of it. Seemed mostly like tourists and - bunch law firm students out for a night of entertainment. Hard pass.
I wanted to like this spot more, but it was slightly
I wanted to like this spot more, but it was slightly lackluster. Was really excited to try this spot out and try the iconic steak au poivre. The peppercorn dressing was extremely tasty, but it was a bit rough to slice through! Not smooth as tender as I imagined. With the steak you get fries and a small salad. Salad was nice and the fries were cold. Girlfriend got the jambalaya risotto and she said it was fine - not incredible. Not a ton of shrimp/clams included in the dish so not necessarily worth it for the price. We got the bread to start - very tasty with butter and topped with the special salt. Waiter was attentive and we were in and out in less than an hour. A fair warning regarding bathrooms...there are only two and they're located upstairs. In order to access, you have to climb a somewhat narrow spiral staircase in order to access. Lastly, I was there to celebrate my birthday and it was even noted in the reservation. They never mentioned it or brought out a dessert. Not the end of the world, but didn't feel right. We were there at 5:15pm and it wasn't even that crowded yet so seemed like an oversight. All in all, as much as I had hope, Raoul's ambience nor food didn't entirely live up to the hype.
The food here was delicious and the meat on my burger was
The food here was delicious and the meat on my burger was cooked medium as requested. I usually like it well done, but because the French style of cooking the meat patty is done over whole peppered corns; the waitress recommended either medium rare or medium and I'm glad I took her advice! Service was great, we were seated right away, and the food was out in a timely manner. Unfortunately we sat outside but even then it was nice. The inside of the restaurant is this very modern, artsy, fun vibe.
The burger here is absolutely insane.
You HAVE to get it. I don't know how to be more emphatic, but it might have been the most flavorful burger I've ever had. It's super high quality meat and comes with an amazing sauce that you can also dip your fries in. I'm already thinking about the next time I'll have this burger, I hope it happens soon.
While the food is good at best, I'm not sure the long wait,
While the food is good at best, I'm not sure the long wait, rude staff, and challenging dining experience is worth it. We wanted to try something unique for a friend's birthday and was recommended to come here for the burger. So we lined up early to put our names down. They only serve 20 burgers a night, only at the bar, and the bar only has 8 seats. We knew there would be a long wait, but we were annoyed to see diners at the bar linger and order another round of drinks, instead of allowing the restaurant to turnover the tables quicker to seat the other people waiting to eat. We were having a conversation and joking about dining etiquette, like "hello, read the room, take your drinks to the upstairs lounge." Little did we know, staff would be eavesdropping on our conversation and taking it one step further. As soon as we were seated, management stormed over and scolded us like we were children about cursing. It's one thing if we were being rude to other diners or at the staff, sure, 100% kick us out, but in a group conversation? Apparently, NO CURSING ALLOWED, even in your group conversations. I thought we walked through the doors of the restaurant and were transported out of New York City. Does scarcity make something valuable? Well if you have the time and patience, you too can give it a whirl. Hopefully you have a better experience than us.
Went to Raoul's last night with two friends for a belated
Went to Raoul's last night with two friends for a belated birthday celebration. We got in line around 4:45pm knowing that you can only get the burger at the bar, the bar only has 8 seats, and they only make 20 burgers per night. We were lucky to make the cut, snagging burgers #17-19 and were told it would be a 90 min wait. OK, no biggie. We're all NYers and wanted to see if the burger lived up to the hype. We each had two drinks and hung in the upstairs lounge (you climb a spiral staircase), which was cozy and had clean restroom facilities. We relocated down to the bar around 6:30pm and stood around waiting for patrons from the first round (remember, only 8 seats) to pay their bill. We were chatting over by the staircase and were remarking that it was rude for people to stick around at the bar/continue ordering drinks, knowing full well that there was another group of folks waiting for the burger. At this point, the rest of the restaurant was crowded (it was dinner time) and there wasn't really a lot of space to stand. You also had people who weren't on the original list trying to slip into the bar area. Ultimately, we snagged three seats around 6:45pm and got our burger orders in. The minute we sat down, someone from the Raoul's staff approached us and scolded us for using foul language (as if we were children)... apparently these Raoul's staff members (the hostess and someone from the kitchen) were eavesdropping on our conversation at the other end of the bar whereby my friends and I used a few not-so-nice words about patrons overstaying at the bar. They assumed that we were directing them at the staff/restaurant, which was NOT the case at all. Let's just say it was one of the most awkward encounters I've ever had as an adult and do not really understand the intent (i.e., there were no physical or verbal altercations and it was a huge misunderstanding; if there was a real problem, they should have just told us to leave...) other than to ruin our night and make us feel bad. Awkward situation aside, the burger was very tasty and the au poivre sauce is incredible. Meat was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and the melted brie, onions, pickles, etc. created an insane set of bites. Definitely a top NYC burger, but be prepared to wait. The situation with the staff was unfortunate and is the reason for the 2-star review. Food and drinks were obviously better than 2 stars.
Good enough for all the trouble?

Food, service and ambiance were perfect
One word: Perfection… from the enthusiastic greeting and accommodation of our request for an outside table by Karine to the delicious food. The highlight of the evening was our fabulous server, Naomi, who was so personable, helpful with our order and a delight. Did we mention the night was perfection?!? A great birthday celebration!

The morning of our reservation my boyfriend came down with a GI bug. We tried calling to rebook for the following night, but were unable to reach anyone, the phone rang "busy" each time. We canceled our res 9 hours ahead of time and were charged $100. The next day we called and explained the situation politely, unfortunately the staff was very rude and short. They would not refund us the $100 and said it was due to their cancelation policy. Will not be rebooking.
Arrived solo at 5p Monday night.
Walked in and seated immediately at the bar. The burger was spectacular! It was cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of pepper. The crispy fries and the au poivre sauce were also fantastic. Yes the burger was great but so was the overall experience at this classic French bistro. Angus and Jose behind the bar are true masters of their craft. The seemingly endless banter with them and others at the bar really made the night. Will definitely be back. See you soon!
Delicious food, wonderful ambience and great service.
It's certainly one of the great French Bistro's in NYC for many reasons.
***Gotta make reservations in advance*** This is one of the
***Gotta make reservations in advance*** This is one of the hot spots in WV. The bar seats only 8 people. If you don't have a reservation, be ready to wait in line 30 mins before they open at 5 PM. You gotta have the burger!!! It's one of a kind and one of the best-tasting burgers in the city. The chef only makes 12 burgers per day. The beef quality is good, the kick from the black peppercorn takes it to another level, the cheese and the pickles, everything is well balanced. On top of that, that burger dipping sauce is phenomenal The chef's recommendation for this burger is medium rare, but that's too raw/pink for me. I ordered a medium, and it was great! The fries are crispy and seasoned well. The crab cakes croquettes are great! Crispy on the outside and the sauce is perfectly balanced. Overall the food and the ambiance is great. I love that it has a speakeasy vibe to it. It is intimate and that classic old fashioned New York Style takes me back in the old days. I'm giving it a four star because I wasn't impressed with the service from the bartender. Unfortunately he never acknowledged my presence. He only talked to my friend, it's like I didn't exist. So f...that!
Wonderful French restaurant in the Village, with great service. Super romantic spot.
Wonderful, intimate, romantic spot in the Village. Great French food (not expensive), amazing wine list and the food is awesome. I know it's been here forever (but only if one knew that!), but I didn't know of it and will certainly return. Naomi was a great server (as were all the others) and Phillippe was an awesome Sommelier. Just a perfect night out to celebrate our daughter's Birthday.
service
HI so disappointed with the service. The lack of professionalism is quite obvious. would never make a reservation again
A bit disappointing
The vibe is great. The service is good. The bartender was amazing. But for me, the food was just ok. Maybe I didn't get it. The famous burger was a pepper infested piece of meat. Not for me at all. The fries were underdone. My breakfast sandwich was not very good either and my wife's pancakes were too thick for us. I wanted to badly to love it but left saying ok, I'm glad I went but this will be my last visit.
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
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.
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.

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
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.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
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.
