The Bocuse Restaurant

It was such a beautiful place and experience. The restaurant is inside The Culinary Institute of America . This is in Hyde Park, Dutchess County in NY. We went for my twin cousins birthdays. We really really enjoyed it. The wait staff is culinary students . Tbey are sooo polite and gentle and very professional as they are being trained and getting ready for the real world. Even though you could say they already there by the way they know so much . They have to learn a new menu every day of the week. They have to work alot of hours and not getting paid because they are students in a learning process. They all have to learn to work as a team ( which they did beautifully. When my whole family were watching how they do everything kind of like robots it reminded us. They are kind of being the the movie "The Menu" it was really amazing. So I asked one of the waiters if he knew the movie and he said ," yes , it's very similar except for the gruesome stuff." Our waiters were all so kind . Any questions we had they were so polite and answered all of them . We had alot of questions. The food was out of this world . Very very good . We all got something different and we all said how good it was. I loved my lamb. I loved the different cheeses I ordered. My cousin ordered the fancy soup she loved that. I'm sorry don't remember names of things . The meal we had for that night was all French. Soooo good. I didn't pay so I can't tell you the price, but. For what you get in such fancy food it was great I was told. You do have to make reservations way ahead of time . I would love to cone back to The Bocuse Restaurant. Just walking through the hall way was beautiful and interesting. Thank you gentlemen for making our evening so beautiful. My cousins really enjoyed their birthday. We enjoyed our dinner.. please if you go be respectful to these young students as they work very hard. Do bring your entitled ways to them . Think if it were your kid. Thank you. They are on their feet for almost 12 hours.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I will dream about the Halibut with beurre blanc sauce for as long as I live. We visited this area just to eat at the CIA restaurants, and it was fantastic: two dinners at Bocuse, two at American Bounty, two lunches and one breakfast at Apple Pie Bakery, took the tour, too. Bocuse was my favorite. Beautifully designed restaurant. I had PEI mussels in coriander-lemongrass broth, bok choy and lime; slow roasted halibut with potato puree, roasted cauliflower, smoked roe (SO GOOD), and beurre blanc (this sauce brought to the table by two servers in a copper cup, ceremoniously poured over my halibut!! beautiful); dessert Butter Poached Apples with Pink Peppercorn Rose Meringue, Brown Sugar Cremeux, Warm Caramel Sauce (SOOOO GOOD), Tawny Port Wine Gel, Toasted Almonds, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Saffron Ice Cream (this dessert was AMAZING). Second dinner: charcuterie appetizer with duck liver pate (I usually don't like pate, but this was EXCELLENT!), Aged Hudson Valley Rohan Duck, Parsnip puree (piped inside a crepe!), baby beets, black trumpet mushrooms, Duck Jus (also brought to the table by two servers and poured over my duck - loved it!); dessert a selection of three cheeses with fig and grapes, fig bar, honeycomb, almonds, house-made crackers. YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE this restaurant. To boot, the students are fantastic: they are friendly, they know what they are doing, and they are jazzed about their school and their future. A memorable experience.

We had an outstanding meal last night at Bocuse, one of the three student run restaurants at The Culinary Institute of America. The fact that Students waited on us, served us & prepared every aspect of the meal makes it that much more special. I was blown away by the teamwork we got to witness through the glass as we watched the kitchen work. The attention to detail and presentation were impeccable, the staff was extremely attentive and the food was absolutely delicious! I look forward to many many more meals like this!

Excellent experience!!! The cuisine and service at The Bocuse Restaurant were impeccable. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. It was lovely to feast your eyes upon and then devour the beautiful dishes these students created for us. Wishing them all the best in their future careers as the fantastic chefs they already are! It was one of the most memorable dining experiences we have ever had 😍😋❤️

Wow! The flagship restaurant of the CIA run by the Senior Students. Great looking restaurant with a view of the kitchen and Wine 🍷 Cellar. Immaculately clean facility. Great staff. Reasonably priced. Card payments are accepted. I recommend going a few weeks into the semester, the students have ironed out all the kinks by then. Menu changes frequently. Table side ice cream 🍨 was awesome. My halibut was the star. Our server’s Mike and Deron were great! We will definitely be going back.
