   Alexis was an incredible hostess. She made accommodations for our table last minute and was incredibly charming. Our service at the table was lightening fast, and the food was exceptional. Escargot is a must order. I do recommend getting large ice cubes though.

   Disappointed- VERY cramped atmosphere (elbow to elbow with the table next to you) and we tried to move our table a little and the waitress yelled at us. Food was not as good as we anticipated from a restaurant with amazing reviews. Felt very rushed.

   The only thing was the gnocchi was a little too tough/thick for our taste. The gnocchi sauce was delicious but the gnocchi was a bit too grainy. Otherwise everything was amazing and the service was awesome!

   We loved the delicious dishes, however, some of the sauces were a little over salted. We shared frog legs that were cooked perfectly. The Lyonnaise salad was a hit with everyone. Two of us had the branzino special over a salad. I enjoyed the medium-rare lamb chops accompanied by artichokes and scalloped potatoes. The savory trout en croute was beautifully presented and topped with fish roe in a creamy sauce. We shared the dark decadent chocolate souffle with a pretzel row smoky cream Anglaise--so fabulous. Our server, Clare was an absolute delight. She was personable and so accomodating. We love the atmosphere and energetic vibe of Le Bouchon. I would love to try them for lunch, also.

    Another great meal at an old favorite. The food is always excellent but the staff makes it special. I honestly can't think of a restaurant staffed with more friendly, and importantly, knowledgeable staff. The staff knows its menu and knows its wine. Those characteristics are increasingly only found at the highest end restaurants...and certainly not your neighborhood French bistro. Bon travail!

    The FOOD is the star here! Imagine this is very similar to a bustling bistro in Lyon. Service is efficient and not rushed. The noise level is loud so beware. We will certainly be back again.

    Service was great! Steak was over cooked (ordered med rare but it came out medium/medium well) but other than that all of the food was very well prepared. We had the mussels, onion soup, lamb and streak frites. We enjoyed French 75s, French Cocktails and the rotating Gamay! All great! We were too full for dessert but will save room next time to try the crème brûlée!

    We had lunch but ate enough for dinner. Service by Marcel was excellent. Mussels were our favorite dish though the lamb tartare was a close second. The bread was a little scorched but we don’t eat much bread anyway. Can’t wait to go back for dinner sometime soon.

    We drove in from South Bend, Indiana for a show in the city and chose to dine at Le Bouchon because we love all French cuisine. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented and VERY authentic. We cleaned every plate and had a wonderful time! The staff was knowledgeable and fun as well. We will definitely be returning.

    Had a wonderful birthday lunch at Le Bouchon. Everything was wonderful and Mondays are half price bottles of wine. The onion Tarte was a standout as was the maple creme brulee. Definitely not to be missed!

    Unfortunately Bouchon is very different from what made it an essential restaurant in the past. The magic of La Sardine and Bouchon is no longer present and it reflects on the menu and quality of the food. The short cut of using puff pastry on everything including 3-4 en croute dishes does not go unnoticed. Worse was a flat soufflé that was served despite falling into a mess, followed by a vol au vent side dish burnt to black. All in all it was a disappointing experience.

    This is my second time dining at Le Bouchon. I came back for the seared foie gras last time I ate here but this time it taste different because the menu and the dish changed often, as our server said. We started out with the duck liver mousse macaron as our server recommended for us; it was not really my taste as it has a really strong scent of the liver (maybe it's a personal thing). I actually also came back for the snails, a must try! The caramelized onions with bacon pie was very tasty as well! Overall, the restaurant is packed even though we dine on a Wednesday night. I find that the noise level is pretty high, but we don't really mind it since it does make the ambience feel more energetic.

    We love this spot in town because it really feels like a getaway to France. If you’ve been, you know the tables are right on top of each other which personally I think adds to the charm. We had to wait a few extra minutes past our reservation time, but once seated we enjoyed the unique and decadent food. Service was great! We’ll definitely be back.
