   When the waitress first took our dinner order I ordered my chocolate soufflé desert. An hour later it still had not arrived. When I finally got the desert to go, it was soggy and looked undone. I specifically ordered my steak extra well. I specifically said no pink at the time of my order. However what I received was very pink. Of course I had to send it back. At the end of the night my bill was $90.00. Do I feel as though I got my moneys worth, No. Will I go back. No.

   We were there for a Friday lunch and the place filled up about 12:30. The foie gras and corn pancakes was outstanding and the pomme frites were excellent as was the dessert. The only issue is the tin ceiling and the noise levels when crowded for old ears.

   Le Bouchon is one of our very favorite places, so I chose to go there for a special celebration. Food is outstanding! Liver mousse so yummy, delicious grilled quail, sea trout in puff pastry delightful, and the peach gallette a wonderful way to end the meal. However, the noise level was so high that I do not know if I would go back. Disappointing. We so enjoyed our visits there in the past and take-out during the pandemic was amazing. But, when the noise is so loud, I find the meal loses something. Sorry

   Went to celebrate my dad’s birthday. The onion tart is always a must. New menu items were great! Delicious every time. Dan, our server, was attentive & friendly.

   I miss the more classically French Le Bouchon menu. The current one is some bizarre fusion that is only so-so in execution and plating. Disappointing food but impeccable service.

    J’aime l’ambiance de ce restaurant, la nourriture est bonne mais n’est pas super impressionnante en comparant avec les restaurants parisiens. Le prix est raisonnable, un bon choix pour le repas quotidien à Chicago.

    Service was horrible. My woman friend and I weren’t served first. Our boyfriends were. Servers crossed our faces to put silverware and meals in a helter skelter manner. Food was not good. Quality used to be way better. Only positive was the dessert. We won’t be returning.

    Its amazing this is one of my favorite rest in Chicago! We went in for Midi Menu (brunch) ordered the French Dip, a delish sandwich with Wagyu beef and cheese. Tartare was my favorite. The Burger really nice and the Tarte Aux Ognions. Everything was very good! The service great and the ambiance is really nice.

    Anytime we have been to Le Bouchon, the experience has been pleasant, and quite enjoyable. The staff cares about the food, the service, and the people dining there. A great combination of atmosphere and food and service make this place a favorite! The restaurant has been around since about 1993, and there is a reason: they care about the place and the experience! Well worth a visit!

    We have enjoyed LeBouchon for years. Service was great as usual. The food was pretty poor other than the poulet, lyonnaise salad, and mussels. Had a great bottle of Pinot Blanc. My Skatewing was not good - I don’t understand why skatewing needs panko breadcrumbs. There was also a funky after taste with it. I have had it before at LeBouchon when it was poached (maybe 15 years ago) and it was excellent. The steak frites was terrible. The meat was super fatty and the presentation was poor. I hate to bash on a place we have enjoyed so many times. I think they need to step it up with the quality of the food. Again, our waitress was fantastic. I am not giving up on this place, but I am not going to recommend it until we make a return visit. Hoping for better things in the future.

    It was my first time. Love the macaroon mousse but not liking the skate dish. It had this ammonia smell, I only put my finger on it afterwards. It was a bit let down. Maybe because I heard so much good things and it is within my neighborhood.

    Le Bouchon has been very consistent in quality. The dishes are amazing, especially the trout and the duck. Portions are generous and the quality of the ingredients is superb. The salads are highly recommended and they are good to share. Service is outstanding. Although is a small restaurant, they do their best to accommodate you.

    Service was nice even if the waitress didnt seem to know much about the wines on the menu. Frozen french fries. The raclette cheese had no taste, maybe because there was too much pepper in the patty or maybe theres no proper raclette in Chicago? Crème brûlée was too sweet. As a French person visiting I was highly disappointed. Will not be returning.

    The food is generally good here. My steak was not cook properly but we were not charged for it. The waitress never came back to our table after we were served our food. I think the reason is that the restaurant did not have enough staff. Overall is a good place to have a meal.

    Food: wonderful. Service: attentive without being overbearing. Sound/ noise level: horrific. Parties of 6 or more with shrill, shouting, possibly over-served patrons ought to be politely asked to dim their voices (my guess is their sense of consideration for anyone other than themselves is already dim... or worse.) What was to be a lovely birthday dinner - and for the efforts of the staff was - suffered from the selfish behavior of an aggressively loud young woman in a party of what looked to be peers and a parent or two. Meanwhile, the seasonal strawberry gazpacho and watermelon salad, as we'll as the entrees and the chocolate soufflé to finish were all outstanding!
