We're going next week to celebrate my 65th birthday. Ate there often in the past with my family when I lived in New York but haven't been back for thirty-five years!
From your writeup, it sounds like it is still wonderful.

It's easily been 15 years since I've eaten there. But I never got so much joy as when I walked by each morning on my way to work and saw the florist arranging the exquisite flowers there in the window.

Check out the menu prices. http://www.la-grenouille.com/cuisine.html You can go for lunch for prix fixe menu but it doesn't include some of the things they're famous for.

Grenouille is defiitely a classic. I used to work in a part of the business that involved being lunched by media reps and since it was a couple of blocks from my office I was there once a week or so for several years.
Consistently good food and very pretty. Then primarily used by the ladies who lunched (in their minks and designer suits and Ferragamos or Chanels). Now we have dinner there once in a while and it's still excellent for food and atmosphere -- although very trditinal.

It is upscale and the prices match. Not the most expensive place in the city (a dinner for 2 isn't $700 or $800 as in Per Se) but prix fix dinner for two - 3 courses with moderate wine, tax and tip is in the range of $300 for dinner. You can see al the options - lunch, pre-theater dinner, regular dinner, prix fix or a la carte menus at menupges.com.
Definitely worth it if this is the type of experience you want.

sorry alvero was our captain at grammercy tavern and was great. Charles does all the flowers himself at La Grenouille, and has a book also..It is expensive I know there are other places that are morebut I know you definately get your time and experience here. My dad ate here in 72 and described it like i have..Find me a similar place, now that our friend bruce synder has left 21 club, it is hard to find a moe sincere greeter in nyc!!

Went to La Grenouille last Friday night. I haven't been there since November, 1972. It's like time stood still. The room is fresh and as beautiful as ever, the serivce is so polished, and the food was heavenly. We went before theater and had the prix fix dinner which is a BARGAIN at $49. I had a glass of the French Chardonay for $12 which I thought was very reasonable for a restuarant like this. The point is that you can eat here without breaking the bank and still have a great meal.
