 RECOMMENDATIONS: 
 APPETIZERS:
 For the appetizer at Maison Boulud you HAVE YO TRY, the chilled corn soup. It is so creamy and seasoned and garnished with king crab and cilantro! It is just divine. The best item for the appetizers, on the menu. Also for the appetizers try the ham, with cantaloupe. The ham is seasoned heavily, but the sweetness from the cantaloupe cuts some of the seasoning from the ham so it's not strong. The cantaloupe is sliced thin, like the ham so they go well together. In the middle is a spring mix salad, with arugula and grissini.
 ENTREE:
 For the entree you definitely have to try their signature burger. It is one of the best burgers in North America. It is probably one of the most high class burgers ever created. On it is a piece of Rillon, which is like pork, morbier cheese, arugula and tomato compote.The burger was a great portion and it was served with a basket of frites (french fries). Also you should try the grilled baby chicken. It is served with kibbeh, dried tomatoes,fingerling potatoes and green beans. The chicken was well cooked being  tender and moist. Also try the pan seared salmon. It is served with a variation of carrots and a side of mustard. The sourness from the mustard brough great falvor to the fish. There was a "bubbly foam sauce" that was also on the side. Maison Boulud is not cheap, but its very elegant and a great place to eat. SERVICE:***** FOOD:***** AMBIANCE:*****
