We used to love this place. The last two times we were there it was so loud we couldn’t hear each other across a two top. The food hasn’t been as consistently good-vinegary salad dressing, some of the entrees a bit hit-or-miss. When they get it right, though, the food is as good as in France.

The food was pretty good but the extreme noise made it impossible. Management should add some sound absorbing surface to the walls or somewhere. Everyone was shouting. We just gave up.

This was an excellent choice. We had been wanting to come for a long time but something always came up. Glad we finally got to Le Bouchon. Food and service were top notch. Charming ambience though the noise level was a little energetic.

Incredible food and service! Very right space at the table and pretty loud space, but it also kind of feels like part of the experience.

As always when dinning we have the best time. It is always energetic ( the volume) so sometimes you have to talk a little louder than usual. Our dinner is always mouth watering and oh so delicious.

I’ve dined many times at Le Bouchon, but honestly the food this time was the best ever. The vichyssoise special a+ The service was excellent too - not too much, not too little. The noise level is excessive though. It was difficult to hear my dining companion because of other very loud customers. I’m not sure the solution, but this is the only thing that gives it away that you’re in Chicago, not Lyon
