Café Boulud at Blantyre

I went here for my birthday with my then girlfriend and decided to bring her back the next month to propose to her (she said yes!) and then have dinner at Cafe Boulud. Everything is extraordinary from the beautiful gilded age manor of the Blantyre, to the unbelievable dining, to the high class service.

There is a reason Daniel Boulud has his Michelin stars, and look no further than this spot to find out why.

Wonderful meal, beautiful setting, great service and music!

I am still very upset. Food was great as was the waiter but the staff almost completely ruined our 20th anniversary because management completely messed up. They greedily accepted a reservation day of for a party larger party and gave them the table we had confirmed the day before (for the one private room. ) In the end, they found an acceptable space for us, but they did not make up for the bad taste their confusion and lies created. Did the manager come over to our table to personally apologize? Offer us a drink? Special flowers on the table? Some gesture to say”sorry we almost ruined your special day”. No. Nothing. They acted as if nothing had happened. Well, something happened and unfortunately that is what we will remember. Also Blantyre has lost all its charm in a recent renovation. We were there years ago and it was a unique space. No longer. Rather, it got a corporate make over.
So when we want to eat the perfectly prepared food designed by Daniel Boulud, In a beautiful atmosphere, we will go to his restaurants in NYC. There they know how to treat their customers. At Blantyre they haven’t a clue.

We had an excellent brunch at Cafe Boulud. Fine dining for sure.

Beautiful destination restaurant, impeccable service with delicious food.

Safe surroundings and excellent food in a turn-of-the-20th-century mansion.

The service was flawless!!! The food was amazing!!

From the warm and earthy olfactory experience of stacked wood at the entry, the pianist in the foyer, the two fireplaces, the well crafted architecture and lighting, the smart Covid precautions, excellent service and AMAZING FOOD, we were sold.

Best meal out in the last year. Goodbye 2020, hello 2021 and hello Balyntre.

We will be back. And will enjoy it.

Treat yourself. Do the same.

amuse-bouche was excellent, starter (special for that evening) was also wonderful; the filet mignon main left much to be desired and was unoriginal without much taste; dessert of almond gateaux was excellent

This was our second visit to the Blantyre resort. It was an absolutely amazing New Year’s Eve night for us. We enjoyed the food, ambience and the wonderful hospitality. Look forward to visiting again!

As always an exceptional dining experience. I really hope you stay past February!

Outstanding. Good as any food could be. A++

Everything that you would hope for in a wonderful dining experience. Cheers!

Lovely Christmas Eve dinner.

Food beyond compare, service excellent, atmosphere gorgeous

Everything about our experience was outstanding. Blantyre is magnificent and just to be there was transformative. Dinner at Boulud was so wonderful and a very special extravagance that was well worth it.

It was so nice to have an excellent, civilized meal in a beautiful setting. Great selection for the fixed price. Will definitely be back.

5/5...if I could give it more stars I would. Amazing food, extremely conscientious service and an overall amazing ambience.

Lovely in every way.

Beginning with our warm and welcoming greeting (including a Covid temperature check!) to the moment we walked out the door, our evening at Blantyre was an all around perfect dining experience!

LOVE this restaurant. Very elegant and refined food and service. It’s like having heaven on the menu! A great place to celebrate.😎🍷

It was fantastic. Our waiter was amazing, the food was a delight, the service was top tier, the caviar, foie gras, filet mignon, etc was delicious. I cannot wait to go back!

One of the best

Exceptional experience! From the moment we stepped in the front door, we felt safe (extra covid precautions in place). Dinner was exceptional from the bread to the very end! Make sure you order a hot chocolate of your choice!!! Truthfully the best I’ve ever had and I live in NYC so...that’s saying ALOT! If you’re in the Berkshires for a night or looking for a weekend getaway, Blantyre is the place to be!

Fabulous meal, lovely surroundings, couldn't be better. Excellent by the glass wine list BTW

This is by far the best experience we've had since living in the Berkshires
Our friend who I a chef and trained in Paris stated it was the " best " !
Can't say more than that!
Service was superior
Atmosphere was Downton Abbey
We love the Blantyre ...

Delicious food, outstanding wine selection, beautiful venue, and great service.

Wonderful dining venue for a special occasion. A New York City restaurant in the heart of the Berkshires. Cant say enough about this experience but suffice to say you won’t find any better!

Outstanding!

The experience was memorable. Superb food, service, and ambiance!

Welcome and much needed addition to the Berkshire’s dining scene. Fingers crossed that this will be a permanent addition. Chef Daniel; please make this happen!!

We have been to Cafe Bolud 3 times, and each has been superb. This is a gem with consistently special food. Not to be missed.

An outstanding meal in an absolutely magical setting! An overall wonderful experience!

It was a milestone birthday for my partner, and everyone from managers to wait staff made the celebration truly memorable. The food was outstanding and was equally matched by the staff from Julia who made the private room happen to Samy and Benjamin and the impeccable knowledge and service as our waiters. The final coup de gras was Scott giving us a tour of the wine cellar at the end of our spectacular meal. Thank you Blantyre for making yet another celebration truly memorable for us.

It was great meal and service as usual. We love this restaurant.

What a totally delightful Thanksgiving dinner! Although it ended with one of the best Creme Brûlée I’ve ever enjoyed, the main course - a Turkey dinner - was superb! It was expensive but so worth it! The servers were gracious and easy to talk with, doing their best to make us feel at home. We will come back, for sure!

We had a fabulous brunch at Blantyre! Everything was perfect; food, service and ambiance. Looking forward to going back in the spring or summer. A gem!!

Wonderful experience- walking through an old castle with each room along the way nicely appointed

The food was a foodies delight. Less about a meal and more about appreciating the flavors, preparation, attention to detail, and presentation

Amazing wine selection

Negative- price was high (worth it but high)
Massachusetts has a 10:00 curfew b/c of covid thus, even an 8:30 reservation meant rushing at the end

Who wouldn't love a masterfully prepared brunch next to a cozy, crackling fire in an antique fireplace? Add some thoughtful touches relevant to current events such as glass separators between tables and masked, gloved waitstaff and you won't find a place to eat indoors that makes you feel more comfortable. The food was divine as always and the bill shockingly small for the quality of the experience. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, stop by and make a memory.

This was our second night eating at the Cafe (it was also my husband and my's birthday) and we were also staying at the Blantyre. The only 'issue' was our service, our dinner was VERY late after we ordered it (another couple that got seated about 30 minutes after we did were eating their meal when ours hadn't come yet). I'm unsure if our server 'lost' our meal or forgot to place our order; I believe our server was in training, but, it was a bit annoying after we had already eaten there, it was our birthdays and we were staying at your beautiful resort. It was a bit disappointing.
