Le Pavillon's private dining rooms transport your group into Daniel Boulud's stunning garden-inspired oasis high above Grand Central, where impeccable French technique meets the day's finest catch in a setting that feels like dining inside a living greenhouse. The customizable spaces at One Vanderbilt showcase the same theatrical beauty as the main restaurant—soaring ceilings, lush greenery, and floor-to-ceiling windows—while offering your party the intimacy to fully savor Boulud's masterful seafood preparations and seasonal French cuisine. Your guests will leave talking as much about the breathtaking urban garden atmosphere as they will about the perfectly executed bouillabaisse and crudo.
