I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. On one hand, I enjoy the food, but sometimes the crowd can be very annoying. And the waitstaff can get very snotty. But the food is great. So if you can tolerate the crowd (tourists and pretentious crowd), just get your friends together and be in your own bubble and ignore everyone else. You're good to go, because you'll definitely enjoy the food.
Balthazar is in SoHo on Spring St. (just right by Broadway)
