I've heard mixed reviews about the dinner service. For brunch, we split the cheese blintzes with cassis and roasted pear and the pastry basket. I ordered the croque madame for my entree, and while it was good, I would have preferred that it were slightly warmer and had a softer-cooked egg. I tried my friend's blueberry pancakes, and another's Yankee burger, and both were delicious. I would definitely return for brunch. The service was fantastic, too. www.thelunchbelle.com Thu Oct 15 12:46:35 -0700 2009 5105920 110996 LeahBaila 1 5106116 Sam Sifton reviewed DBGB in yesterday's NY Times: http://events.nytimes.com/2009/10/14/dining/reviews/14rest.html?ref=dining Thu Oct 15 13:46:21 -0700 2009 5105920 52499 ChefJune 2 5107320 In his first review Sifton either lacks the integrity or the palate to give Bould the lousy review which DBGB deserves. I am resubmitting my resume to the Times for the job ;). My review is at the end of the earlier thread linked above.

We tried the Boudin Basque and the merguez, both of which were delicious. We shared the "Chop-Chop Salad" to start -- a nice mixture with a very tasty dressing -- and the cassis-yogurt sundae for dessert (fine but nothing special).

The marrow and sausage are absolutely delectable and I also enjoyed the service. Sifton also reviewed it on Wednesday, so check that out. Fri Oct 16 08:11:30 -0700 2009 5105920 277592 GeraldineNY
