Had 7pm reservations, on a Saturday, in celebration of my sister's wedding. We knew we weren't going to be able to make it in time so we called in 2 hours ahead to push the time back and the ladies up front were so kind to make it happen for us. Upon arrival we waited a few minutes for our table, just enough time to stop by the restroom and order a drink. Bar tabs have to be closed at the bar btw. Our server was a sweetheart. I wish I could remember his name since we had to ask him for it. Seating is very intimate. How the servers are squeezing in between tables I have no idea.. We ordered, Appetizers: Hamachi Crudo; fresh, balanced. A little more citrus would have been fine. A very good bite. Wagyu steak tartare; fresh, had a great chop and mouthfeel. I enjoyed the textures. The olives were places all on one side and that could have made for a big bite of olives if I didn't notice. Flavors were enjoyable but did overpowered the wagyu. Grilled hen of the woods brochette; "Maitake" mushroom. One of my favorite fungi and I was not disappointed. Looking at the presentation I was worried the mushroom would be overpowered but everything came together perfectly. Entre: Rôtisserie Chicken a la Moutarde; Honestly the chicken was dry and the shoestring potatoes was a weird pairing. I assumed (my fault) the watercress would be cooked but it was more of a raw garnish. Seasonings on the chicken were very well done. Atlantic Halibut; Perfectly cooked. Gorgeous plate. Corn was indeed sweet. Maine Lobster Rigatoni; Props for the noodles being cooked al dente. I was rejoiced when I found out they were. 22oz Prime Aged Ribeye; Should have asked the age of the ribeye though it was tender with a hint of age. Cooked perfectly even with my sister requesting medium temp. Gorgeous crust. My only complaint would it being served on a sizzling plate with no extra plates to plate the steak on. w/ Migliorelli Asparagus side; well prepared. Cooked perfectly. We also ordered two bottles of wine which I cannot remember which ones. Sommelier did a great job presenting and pouring our bottles, keeping our glasses full. Our server also asked if we were celebrating anything, we told him and after our dinner he surprise us with complimentary champagne and an ice cream cake in congrats to my sister. It was all very sweet and was a great ending to our dinner. Would not hesitate to come back and/or recommend. read more

Came here on a Thursday for a girl night dinner. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were phenomenal. The bar area was so cute and it had amazing ambiance. We got a bunch of apps- the omelette, octopus, steak tar tar, tuna, and beef salad were honestly ALL delish. and THE SALMON DINNER. SO SO GOOD. Same with the lamb and truffle pasta. Our waiter Jessie however made the experience wonderful. He was so professional and explained everything in depth. Any questions we had he immediately answered. We ended up taking back a drink since it was not made right and they were so so kind about it. Desserts were SO delish. Half of our group LOVED the parmesan gelato (the other half wasn't a fan) however i loved. Mousse, beignets, soufflé all amazing. Have no complaints. This dining experience was phenomenal and would definitely come back here!! read more

We celebrated two birthdays at Cathedrale, and it was such a memorable evening. The interior is elegant, luxurious, and perfect for a special occasion. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Before we ordered, we were served breadsticks with olives, followed by warm Parker House rolls with sesame herb butter. Since we were celebrating birthdays, the restaurant also treated us to complimentary champagne, which was a lovely touch. For appetizers, we ordered the Escargot en Persillade, Frisée aux Lardons, and added half a dozen oysters. The oysters were incredibly fresh. The escargot was flavorful, although a bit dry--I wish there had been more garlic butter to soak up with the warm bread. For my main course, I chose the Duck Confit. The portion was generous, and the fondant potatoes were the highlight--rich, tender, and full of flavor. The duck itself was juicy and well-seasoned, though I would have loved crispier skin. The sauce, Swiss chard, and sour cherries added a nice balance of richness, acidity, and slight bitterness. To finish the night, both birthday girls received complimentary mini birthday cakes, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Overall, we had a wonderful evening with great food, excellent service, and an atmosphere that made the celebration feel extra special. Definitely a place I'd return to for another special occasion. read more

Note: Rating is for Restaurant Week solely I was at this restaurant with a group of 8 others a couple of evenings ago for Restaurant Week, with theirs being listed as a $60 Summer Bistro, being a little bit more elaborate than the typical spot with wine specials and otherwise. The large space is gorgeous, though a tad too loud and a tiny bit dark for photos. The service was excellent, going above and beyond the typical spot, making our evening special and more than making up for some issues throughout the night. A lot of people were there early, so a bunch went to the bar to hang out while waiting for happy hour drinks. I personally had a glass of Blanc de Blancs, a French sparkling wine from Grandial. It's usually overpriced at $16 a glass, but for $8 during HH, I didn't mind. We were soon seated at a slightly cramped booth, and they gave us some time to think. Prior to ordering, they brought over some Grissini, or breadsticks, along with some olives to munch on. Two of us decided to split the reasonably priced $25 15oz carafe of Domaine Bernard Defaix Bourgogne Blanc, with others getting the other reds. Post-ordering, they also brought us some Parker House rolls with a sesame herbed whipped butter. The bread was warm, and the butter had a very nice texture, but lacked some flavor, with one of us joking around that it was more like whipped margarine. My appetizer was the Leeks (or Poireaux) Vinaigrette. The presentation was more artful than the typical spot, with larger leeks arranged vertically and covered with some vinegared mushrooms, walnuts, and a bit of salad. It was refreshing and tasty. Others got the Escargot En Persillade, Frisée aux Lardons, $10 extra Half Dozen Oysters, or the Plateau du Marché, or salami with crudite. The others enjoyed their apps, but one person's escargot was very late. The staff apologized, with them providing her a mocktail on the house, which was appreciated. For my main, I went with the Duck Confit, with pommes de terre, Swiss chard, and sour cherries. The portion size was decent, with the best part of the dish being the fondant potatoes, as they were tender and juicy, with some richness from the duck. The duck itself was flavorful and meaty, though missing the crispy skin. The sauce was decent, with a mild sourness, and a couple pieces of sour cherry with the chard adding a touch of bitterness. If the duck had properly crispy skin, it would have been outstanding, but the dish was still good. The other entrees included fish, Pasta ZaZa, and the Rôtisserie Chicken, one of the few dishes on the regular menu which is normally $39 for half a chicken. The chicken apparently was very salty, with another person trying and saying the same thing. The staff apologized and brought out a new version of the dish. I tried a bit of the shoestring post-replacement, and they were fine, though they could have, ironically, used a bit more salt. Along with the mains, they brought out some complimentary sides of the Macaroni Gratin Jambon and Wild Mushrooms, which are normally $16 each. The wild mushrooms were tender and lightly roasted, while the more unique dish was the gratin. Instead of being multiple small pieces of pasta, it was instead one giant maccherone, with us cutting the dish at the table. The flavor was rich and slightly salty, with the ham adding more texture. My dessert was the disappointing Strawberry Tarte Tropézienne with vanilla crème diplomate, which is normally $22 on the menu. The tart wasn't the best, being a tad dry and missing the characteristic pearl sugar on top, though the cream was decent. I also wished that the strawberries were more incorporated, as they were just on the side. Others enjoyed the Espresso Crème Brûlée, which had some raspberries on top, Chocolate Profiteroles, and another person raved about the Milk Chocolate Soufflé, which was $12 extra. Possibly due to the entree issues, or as they were being friendly, as we had ordered a lot of food and wine, they also brought out a free platter of their Fruttini, or sorbets made with their own frozen fruits. The flavors included blood orange, lemon, strawberry, and kiwi. I tried a bit of the blood orange, which was very tasty, along with the strawberry, which was excellent. This was normally $36, or $12 individually, and was most appreciated. We soon left after paying, with there being caramel popsicles on the table. I am not usually the biggest fan of Tao Group restaurants, as they don't fit into my usual style, being more substance rather than flavor. This was a tasty exception, at least for Restaurant Week. read more

I came here on a Saturday night. Made sure to make reservations since it's known for being a bustling restaurant. We were in our seats within minutes and right away noticed the grand decor above. It was really beautiful. We started with the Leeks Vinaigrette. I never knew that leeks could be cooked to be so tender. Mixed with the walnut vinaigrette, they tasted so good. If I could make leeks like these at home, I'd be eating healthy all the time! We then ordered the King Prawns a la Plancha which were amazing. They were cooked perfectly and the flavors of the Calabrian chili butter and Amalfi lemon paired exquisitely with the shrimp. Honestly, I could have eaten a whole plate of them for dinner and been perfectly happy. For entree, we shared the Lamb Chops and also ordered a side of Garnet Sweet Potato. The lamb chops were good, but I loved the sweet potato. I don't remember the topping and sauce used to make them, but this side dish was incredible. We had the Chocolate Soufflé and the Honey Crisp Apple Beignets for dessert. I think I licked clean every inch of the plate that the soufflé was served in. It was sinfully delicious! We also ordered a couple of drinks, but the Sgrappino was my favorite. It's made table-side by mixing lemon sorbet, Elyx Vodka and Blanc De Blancs. It was so good that we had to order another one as soon as we finished the first. If you like sweet drinks, you will love this! What I loved about Cathedrale is that each dish was so unique and tasted absolutely delicious. Our waitress Camila provided excellent service. The food, decor and service were all top-notch. I do wish the check was a little easier on the wallet! read more

The place has an amazing vibe. We went for the summer restaurant week menu to see how the food was, which was pretty good. This is not a place where you show up in casual clothing, this is a date night level up. The food was wonderful. The restaurant week menu aka summer bistro menu is just enough for people to eat. Much more enjoyable than a very large regular meal. Good vibes and good service. read more

The Cathedrale is such a beautiful restaurant. The food, although pricey, was absolutely delicious, too. Depending on the occasion and seating available, I would definitely love to come back again. We had a reservation but did have to wait a bit to be seated. There was a table in the restaurant but it seemed like there would be too much foot traffic, so we decided to sit at the bar, closest to the dining area. The bar is huge and near reception were a bunch of people just standing around waiting for tables, which is why we'd chosen to sit closer to the restaurant. However, people still started hovering around behind us, so I'd choose a better seating option next time. Although it has a romantic atmosphere, the noise level was quite high. So if you're looking for a nice, quiet dinner, this probably wouldn't be the place. It has a great vibe and is very lively, though. And this is the place for warm, fresh bread and the best filet mignon. The breadsticks were fine, but the mini bread loaf with butter was absolutely amazing. I'm not sure if I'd order the oysters again, but the salmon dish was also delicious. (Faroe Island Salmon with panchetta, savoy cabbage, tarbaia beans and vin jaune) My favorite, besides the bread, was the Filet Mignon with au poivre "Paul Bert" Paris mushroom duxelle. It was perfectly cooked, accompanied by a flavorful sauce. I'll be back for the delicious bread and filet mignon :) read more

I visited Cathédrale Restaurant after hearing about their happy hour menu, specifically the $5 maine lobster rolls, online. And, I highly recommend! The lobster rolls themselves weren't the best, but I loved all of the other happy hour menu items (except the nozeco spritz, that was bad). My favorite dishes had to be the chips & french onion dip (topped with caviar btw) and the tuna tartare. I loved the french onion dip. It was great with the lobster roll and even better with the tuna tartare. I would come back just for this. read more

Service: 2 / Vibe: 4 / Food: 3 The inside is beautiful and the dim lighting definitely gives it a cool vibe. I had the rotisserie chicken which was good but I wouldn't say it was anything to rave about or order again. The service was truly that of a glacier pace. We went for a 6pm reservation and didn't get out until 9:30 [on a Monday] where we nearly had to beg for the check. Truly when the waiter dropped the check he tried to walk away and I had to say "here's the card" because I couldn't risk him walking away and waiting another 30 minutes for his return. I'd consider going back for the interior decor but otherwise, definitely a pass. read more

The atmosphere at Cathedrale was pure perfection for celebrating my wife's birthday and Valentines Day. Food was creative and delicious, but I have to start by giving a shout out to the service. From the moment we entered, the entire staff was warm, welcoming and enthusiastic attentive. The interior at Cathedrale was also very warm and intimate with a strong nod to Parisian style. For starters we ordered Yellowfin Tuna Cru which was extremely fresh and tasty. The complimentary bread and butter were appreciated and my wife raved about the butter to the point of eating it without the bread. For entree's my wife enjoyed a lobster pasta dish while I had their signature truffle fettuccine. Both were delicious and quickly devoured. Before parting, they presented my wife with a birthday ice cream cupcake dessert We've had this restaurant on our list ever since we heard Tao Group opened a French restaurant in the lower east side. Lived up to the hype and expectations. read more

Cathédrale is a stunning space with an incredible atmosphere, making it a great spot for a night out in NYC. We came here for Mother's Day and experienced their special prix fixe meal set, which offered a solid, multi-course journey through their menu. The service was absolutely excellent and truly elevated the celebratory holiday. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive without feeling overbearing. Despite it being a busy holiday, the pacing of the prix fixe courses was flawless, and the servers went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for the occasion. We started the evening with several appetizers, including the octopus served over a savory tomato base, perfectly seasoned wild mushrooms with a vibrant green purée, a fresh steak tartare topped with crispy gaufrette potato chips, and a creamy burrata paired with roasted peppers and savory beignets. Everything tasted good, was cooked well, and showed great attention to detail. For the main courses, the execution remained strong. The filet au poivre was perfectly tender and came drenched in a rich peppercorn sauce. The seafood dishes were equally enjoyable, featuring a delicate white fish in a creamy chive and roe sauce, a crisp-skinned fish fillet over a rustic chickpea and tomato stew, and a beautifully seared salmon served alongside a pristine stalk of white asparagus. We wrapped up the holiday meal with a couple of light, refreshing desserts: a striking lemon-shaped sorbet served over crushed ice and a smooth sorbet scoop garnished with fresh mint. While the food was objectively good, the top-tier service and gorgeous ambiance are what really stand out. The holiday prix fixe runs quite high, and for the premium price point, the flavors didn't feel quite unique or inventive enough to truly stand out in a city packed with exceptional dining options. However, because the hospitality is so wonderful, it still makes for a highly enjoyable, beautiful setting for a celebratory family dinner. read more

Overhyped and average factory restaurant. Had a meh Thanksgiving dinner here and the staff could give no f#*ks. Seated 40 minutes after our reservation. Stood by a sad lettuce buffet. Ordered ribeye... it's 86'd... now it's not... ok, you get ribeye. Food runners didn't know who ordered what, so it's like Denny's "who got the pasta?" And everything officious and slow. Asked for water like 8 times. Had dessert which was nice. Mostly they were pretty but chocolate mousse looked like poo. TLDR: $600+ for 4 people with no alcohol was waaaay more than this lame place was worth. Avoid. read more

Went to Cathedrale on a Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised! I'd heard mixed things, but my experience was great. Started with drinks and some the bread service was incredible, the French butter was divine (wish they gave more bread) Tried the yellowfin tuna cru, octopus, and the omelette with caviar and chips, all were great! The squid ink rigatoni with lobster was my favorite , so rich and delicious. The truffle pasta was a little bland, but dessert made up for it , the crème brûlée was perfect. Service was quick and efficient thanks to our server Alexandra , and everything came out smoothly. Overall, a lovely dinner. read more

Cathedral Raul is a bit of a mixed bag, but still a solid spot overall--especially for special occasions. The ambience is easily the highlight. The decor is stunning, and the atmosphere feels elevated and perfect for a birthday dinner or gathering with a group. It really sets the tone for a memorable night out. That said, the food didn't quite live up to expectations. It was generally pretty mediocre, lacking the flavor and quality you'd hope for at this price point. Speaking of which, the pricing felt quite steep for what you actually get--ambience alone doesn't fully justify it. Service was also a bit underwhelming and didn't match the high-end feel of the venue. I could've overlooked that if the food had been phenomenal, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Overall, it's still a good spot if you're going for the vibe and celebrating something with a group--but just manage your expectations when it comes to the food and service. read more

Tao Group's best restaurant in NYC, Why? Exceptional service & quality of menu selection. I arrived for my mothers birthday and ordered the summer prix fix menu. Incredible choices of appetizers, entree, and dessert. Highly impressed by the flavors. As a wine spectator award winner, Cathedrale offers fantastic sparkling wine choices for guests to choose from. I chose Schramburger Rose, which i recommend to any that enjoy an aromatic experience. I will say there was a mistake on my part for not recognizing the correct bottle which the staff accidentally opened, but upon realizing and explaining to the staff, the issue was generously rectified. read more

I had Cathédrale on my list for years, and I had been in the vicinity several times in that time span, but I never made a point to stop in. While looking through my list for a spot on short notice, the name popped up and I made a reservation on one of my nights off. I figured the restaurant's longevity was a good indicator that it still merited a visit. When I arrived the place was pretty busy. As a result, my table wasn't quite ready. So I grabbed a drink at the bar, the "Saint-Tropez" (Hennessey VS, Lime, Melon, Mint, Ginger Beer). Normally I'm not a "Hennessey-Type-Guy" but I was feeling vacation vibes, so I rolled with it and it tasted great. I was solo dining and there was plenty of bar seating, but I elected to take a small table to myself. The two-person tables are a little close to each other (close enough to hear full conversations), but I was surrounded by pleasant NYers and travelers/tourists. I went in dressed up for the experience, and the staff looked sharp too, but don't be surprised to see touristy looking guests in casual attire on your visit. Anyways, once I got to the table and had a moment to take a good look around, I felt that the expansiveness you feel in the pictures didn't exactly translate to the in-person feel. Though it didn't feel cavernous, the decor and atmosphere were still pleasant. If you're seated at the tables near the entry point to the dining room, you will have the bar/vestibule area to your back, without a full barrier. Some people might feel a little apprehensive about sitting there because of it. So keep that in mind if you're security conscious. Regarding the food, I started with the potato chip omelette (Egg omelette, with white sturgeon caviar and chips). I was honestly hoping for some flavor, other than the ordinary, in the egg omelette, but it tasted like a regular solid omelette you make at home with a little salt. However, the chips, caviar, and crème fraîche, combined with some egg did taste good. It's a little heavy as a starter on a solo trip, but if your party is two or more, it might still make sense. That was followed up by their filet mignon with a side of sautèed spinach. This was the star of the meal! Great flavor in the crust of the meat, was well as in the sauce. I recommend it! In fact, it was ordered by patrons on either side of me as well. So there might be something to it! While I was enjoying the filet mignon, I ordered a glass of the Bordeaux Blend on the menu. Unfortunately, they were out. That Cabernet blend was a solid substitute though, and the sommelier came to me directly to discuss the substitution options (which was greatly appreciated). For dessert I can't remember the exact name of the dish, but it was essentially cake with strawberries on the side. I know that sounds simple, but it was very good and coincidentally, a great choice for me because I love strawberries among other things. I paired dessert with one last drink, the "Sgroppino," which, as promised, was prepared table-side. The guests at my neighboring tables and I were captivated by the show. The gentleman preparing the drink was actually Greek and we had a nice side convo about the origin of my name, a foundation for a good memory of the restaurant. The drink itself, made with Sorento lemon sorbet, Absolut Elyx vodka and Blanc De Blancs, was cool and refreshing, perfect for summer! I strongly recommend that as well. All in all, it was a solid dining experience. There weren't any grave or egregious errors and therefore nothing that would make me detract a star from my review. I think the place is worth the trip and currently they have a three-course, Pris-Fixe, menu deal for $60.oo. If you use the Tao Group app, you can potentially score another 25% off of your bill as well. So there are PLENTY of reasons to make a stop in. Special shout out to my dining team, which included Nicola, Natalie, Faith and Constantine. They were kind and warm throughout the dinner service. Hopefully, you get a chance to dine with them as well! read more

Had dinner here while visiting NYC last week. Club-like atmosphere which I wouldn't think is everyone's cup of tea. Very loud and busy. We had reservations at 7:15pm and were running late because of our uber and traffic but that didn't seem to matter as we still had to wait about 20 minutes for our table.

Came to celebrate a birthday and it happened to be restaurant week menu. Two of us wanted it and two of us didn't. Unfortunately every member of the party has to participate so we went with it. $60 menu. Since we were in 4 we tried almost everything. There were 4 appetizers so we tried them all, and 4 desserts so we also tried all of those. I'll mention entrees after. First the appetizers. Absolutely... pathetic. One of them came a tier of salami, carrot slaw, and radishes with a curl of butter on top. So strange. The second was an artichoke salad that I didn't care for and be careful eating it because I cut my mouth from an outer piece being in it. The third was like a puff pastry with cheese inside that was eh and the last was a spinach with egg whites, egg yolks and beets all separate in the plate. personally, I didn't care for any of them. Entrees: I got basically a fancy fish and chips. The fish was sole and rhetorical fries were good. The beef bourguignon was good and the duck was good as well. Dessert: the pear one was good, I didn't love chocolate and cherry one but that's personal preference, the rice pudding was ok, and the Mille-feuille I didn't like. The service was fine and the place inside is pretty. I think the appetizers just kind of shocked me. I won't be back but worth a try from the regular menu I think read more

Went to cathedrale for a girls night and it was a blast! Highly recommend making a reservation as soon as possible, the table Reservations run out fast and we sat at the bar. The service was still 10/10. They offer complimentary breadsticks, however, I'm allergic to sesame so the server was kind enough to offer me warm bread. The drinks were strong and flavorful. I got the truffle fettuccine which was a really rich dish and the only that could be added to it would be protein. My friend said the salmon fell a little flat taste but was still overall good. read more

Cathédrale was just okay for me. The main dining room is undeniably beautiful, but if you're seated in one of the adjacent rooms, the vibe shifts quickly to something closer to a cafeteria than a luxe dining experience. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive, which I appreciated, but the food didn't quite live up to the hype. The onion soup was fine, nothing memorable. The stone crab claws, however, felt like a total rip-off--borderline embarrassing given the price. On the brighter side, the steak was very good, and the bread and butter were absolutely delicious. Overall, not a bad experience, but not one that makes me eager to rush back. read more

Cathédrale Restaurant - Martini - French Near Me - New York, New York

We made this reservation about a week prior, noting it was for my birthday dinner for 3 at 8:15pm. When you arrive, especially on a weekend evening, expect loud music and lively conversations. The bar area is next to the host stand, with the beautiful garden seating nearby. Past the large, gorgeous bar is the dining area with incredible ceiling decor and a gorgeous chandelier. We arrived at 8:10ish and the hostess asked us to wait at the bar and order drinks until my father arrived. When he did, they let us know there would be a bit of a delay, so we enjoyed a cocktail at the bar. My partner had a glass of red wine, which was tasty, and I had a Bombay martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. It was fantastic, however, it was a little annoying you have to close out there. We ended up waiting over 45 minutes for our table to be ready. At one point, a hostess brought us all glasses of complimentary champagne to apologize for the wait, which was nice, but I did feel didn't fully make up for how long we had to wait to be seated, especially because this made me extremely late to an event I was attending afterwards. We ordered a fantastic bottle of red wine, and my partner also had the Barcelonette cocktail, which was so refreshing. Once seated, our waiter was fantastic. We ordered the grilled octopus as an appetizer, which was incredible and so flavorful, but we were disappointed there weren't many pieces in this dish. The veal porterhouse was delicious with tableside au jus service. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The truffle flavor was wonderful as well. We also had a side of sautéed spinach, which was nice. For dessert, I enjoyed a glass of dessert wine and they brought out a cute little ice cream birthday cake. I'd like to give this restaurant another chance, perhaps with a happy hour reservation right when it begins, but I am disappointed in the meal beginning on the wrong note with how late we were seated. read more

I've heard some mixed reviews about this place but decided to try it out to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is located on the bottom of the steps and you're treated by the hostess. The hostesses were very nice and led us to our table. We got seated and right away our waitress came asking which water we wanted, which was nice but also felt a bit too rushed. I also went to the bathroom before ordering and the manager was nice enough to lead me to the bathroom which is located to the left of the hostess. I got back and the waitress already came up and asked the table if the wanted drinks, even though I wasn't at the table which seemed a bit rude but not that important. We ordered the wagyu steak tartare, burrata, and truffle fettuccine. They brought out completely bread sticks which olives which was rlly good. The olives had a nice savory, briny taste, which I really enjoyed. Then the tartare came out almost immediately and it was pretty good. It was severed with potatoes chips on top and chopped olives. The combination was unexpected but thoroughly enjoyable. The meat was pretty good and the chips really helped balance it out. After about two bites, the burrata was served and it came with these bread balls and peppers. The burrata was nice and fresh and the peppers were nicely charred and roasted. They also brought the complimentary bread after all the appetizers were out, which seemed a bit strange. Then onto the man which was the truffle fettuccine. This was the highlight of the night. The noodles were buttery and truffly. It literally melts in your mouth. You have to try this if you come, even if you're not a big pasta fan it is definitely worth it. For dessert we got the apple beignets which were nicely fried and the apple filling was nice but some either didn't have filling or had barely anything. They also brought a complimentary dessert since we were celebrating a birthday. The ambiance is nice but I imagined it differently and grander. All the nice views and art you see if on the ceiling and there were barely any places to take good pictures. It was a bit underwhelming in that regard. read more

We had a generally good experience at Cathedrale's Easter brunch. Let's start at the top... The desserts were amazing. I love French desserts which are a lot less sweet than typical American desserts, and the dessert table display was magnificent. Kudos to the team behind it! The crudités table was also impressive and the server who helped me get the veggies was very friendly and helpful. The main course took a long time, but it's understandable as it's a holiday. The food was good. The service by our waiter was just okay, but we had to ask a few times for plates to be removed and cutlery to be given for the next course. The booking system was confusing, as there wasn't any option to indicate adults and kids. This is important when you're prepaying per head, which is the case for Easter brunch. I hope they fix this soon. read more

I came here for my birthday. I have never felt so celebrated at a restaurant - about 5 different people told me happy birthday! Service was attentive and quick and the food had incredible flavors. The lemon dessert was incredible and realistic - we actually thought we had been served a lemon until we found out we could crack it open and it was DELICIOUS. We were seated in the main room that looked like an actual cathedral which looked so cool! read more

Happy Hour At The Cathedral (Inside of the Moxy Hotel) 5-7pm. My friend & I saw this place on Instagram & thought we'd try to catch the happy hour to experience this place but conserve $. It was very elegant. FILLED to capacity at 6pm. The waiters were very busy so it was hard to get our order in. My friend went to the bar to place the order and received a number and brought it back to our table which was at the outside patio area. I had a classic martini. It was great and strong. If you like the classic I would definitely recommend. Myself on the other hand, I ordered two but could only stomach one, It's not my thing. We tried at least 4 things from the happy hour food menu. Very small bites but they were good nevertheless. read more
