   The staff is absolutely wonderful and the service impeccable but since the last time we visited the menu has changed and was a true disappointing meal. The filet mignon was sliced into 4 small pieces. The dover sole was good but the serving was so thin that it did not seem to be an entree. The deserts were both very good. Wouldn’t go back unless a menu change. Upcharges to many of the options in the five course meal.

   Excellent cuisine and service. Definitely worthy of its reputation as one of the best if not best restaurant in Newport.

   I requested a nice table for our 30th anniversary. I was very disappointed that my request was ignored. Our table seemed like it was in a hallway no view of anything and closed off from the rest of the restaurant. Disappointed and insulted. One and done for us.

   Wonderful and more of a slow paced classic European feel. Food was excellent as well as the service and atmosphere.

   I ordered the lobster & scallop entree which was a $17 supplement to the 4 course prix fixed menu. While the dish was very good, there were more scallops than lobster & was disappointing, since it was described as being taken out of the lobster shell & then put back into the sell to be served. It was not worth the $17 additional.

   We’ve been to Bouchard before before but not in several years. Have been wanting to come back but… we have little kids. Don’t get to do a lot of fine dining. So, we booked a table for our anniversary. We knew it would be good but it exceeded our expectations. The food was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. After our entrees our “captain” (Dan) brought us 2 glasses of champagne. I thought “oh this is going to be awkward” (my husband doesn’t drink). But before I could react, he said “and his is nonalcoholic”. My husband assumed I had told them in advance- but I hadn’t. Dan said he had just noticed that I had a glass of wine but my husband didn’t. My husband was so touched by the level of thoughtfulness. We can’t say enough about our experience. We’ll definitely be back!

    I literally waited for years to eat here. I was intimidated by the menu. But I guess things changed with the pandemic, and I revisited it to celebrate my wife's and my birthdays. They had changed to a fixed price menu that I found much more accessible. The food was impeccably prepared. Here's a first: each of us completely cleared every plate of every course. Absolute delicious. I highly recommend it. It is the best French cooking I have ever had, outside of France. So, why the 3 star rating? The service was severely lacking. My wife wanted another glass of wine, and we could not flag down anyone to assist us...not even our own waiter. I am well past yelling to get a waiters attention; and I should not have to. So, we decided to share a glass of champagne to celebrate instead. Still no service. Our dessert was served, and I asked the waiter for some decaf and the champagne. He mumbled something about sending someone over to take the champagne order. The coffee came, but still no champagne. So, that was that. We had a devine souffle...sans champagne. I will not be returning, as good as the food is, because frustration should not be part of the meal. The waiter should have automatically returned with the serving of dessert to check if there were any further orders.

    We had high expectations based on reviews. The food was only fair and the service began well but went downhill. the salad dressing had no flavor and we asked for additional dressing which had no flavor either. The tuna appetizer had no flavor. The Dover sole sauce had no flavor. Lobster which had an upcharge was very weak on flavor. When we ordered wine my husband was deciding on a white and our friend asked for the wine list and was told to wait until the server was done with my husband. It was rude and unpleasant. The duck was tough and we had difficulty getting attention to get a steak knife so we could cut it. Coffee was served lukewarm. The only highlight of the meal was the soufflé. It was delicious. The mocha creme brulee' tasted like chocolate pudding. The meal did not live up to expectations and for over $320 a couple it was very disappointing. We shared the evening with friends and they were as unhappy as we when we left. We do not recommend Bouchard.

    Bouchard’s is the best restaurant in Rhode Island! We have been here many times and we are always very satisfied. The food, service and ambiance is always very special. We look forward to returning many more times.

    There are two things everyone should do in Newport. One, see the Breakers, the Vanderbilt "cottage," which needed a staff of 40 and is the epitome of 1890s opulence. The second is stay and eat at the Bouchard Hotel and Restaurant. The hotel is convenient and comfortable, even if the WIFI is iffy. The restaurant? The best French food we've ever had in the US. Absolutely spectacular. Service and cave to match. Given the quality, it's a bargain. Like the Breakers, it's worth a trip. We go to Boston & Cape Cod frequently to see friends and family, and we plan on adding an overnight stay to our itinerary.

    This experience was a birthday gift from my beautiful wife. We had always wanted to dine at this facility and a milestone birthday seemed to be a very appropriate event. The meal was amazing and the service was equal to the remarkable dining experience. We feel truly blessed to have had this opportunity to dine, not just eat. A true dining experience is so much more than the food…it should be every sense fulfilled. Thank you for helping us “check off” a bucket list entry.

    We have been to Bouchard Restaurant a number of times and it never disappoints. I really have loved their sweetbreads, but I doubt that it will appear again given that they have switched to a prix fix menu. My wife and I both had great meals and had great service and conversation with our waiter (Marco). If you want a well-prepared, good-tasting meal, you can't go wrong by eating here. It was a good value and a delightful experience. We heartily recommend this restaurant!!!

    The very best of everything. We did the early sitting with a 4 course fixed price menu. Every course was incredible. Each bite delectable. The service could not have been better - attentive, well paced and friendly. This is the type of food and restaurant that would warrant a sixth star, it made my wife’s birthday incredibly special!

    Bad experience at the Bouchard restaurant Newport. My wife and I who were staying at the Chanler , Newport, and were recommended this as a fine dining restaurant. Setting is ok and service etc having the trappings of a good restaurant. But the food ranged from ordinary to appalling. Not fresh and some dishes inedible. If u don’t hv very high standards or expectations when you eat out, it’s fine then this is ok. Otherwise I would never suggest this to anyone and will remember the evening as a waste of time and of course money.
