How good is the service at a Daniel Boulud restaurant? I was at DBGB tonight and dropped my knife just as I was about to dig into a Tunisian merguez sausage. I raised my eyes in despair. The waiter who brought me my food, already halfway across the noisy restaurant, heard the knife drop, turned, nodded at me reassuringly, and immediately brought a replacement, simultaneously summoning a busboy to arrived post haste to pick up the fallen knife.
Wow.
I found this instance of the legendary Boulud service particularly amazing because DGBG (housed in the old Bowery digs of CBGB -- is the newest and most downscale of all the Boulud restaurants.
I told the waiter: "You're good!" And tipped beyond the usual.
