    I would be embarrassed charging what they are charging. We ordered the caviar and might have gotten less than a table spoon of it. The food was not seasoned well and the steak oh my god the god the steak. They are charging $52 dollars for a 3 ounce filet that is on top of soggy potatoes. We had to send ours back once for being raw and didnt eat it the second time as they cooked it well. Our waitress asked everyone around us if they were celebrating anything. We were not asked when it was our anniversary and we filled out the reservation stating it was so. The reason for this is we had our rehearsal dinner here in may 23,24. It was wonderful. This time it was not good, over priced and just generally not enjoyable. We ate way in the back at the three tables in the back. We were on the far left. Honestly I would be embarrassed with you food, cooks and some aspects of your service. You are not running a tight ship.

    Made reservation for 2 pm brunch on Mothers Day. Wait staff was rude, food was cold, and they started mopping near our table as they cleaned up after what was apparently the last seating. $112 for 3 people, no alcohol, no appetizers, no dessert. Mom is 85, and we wanted to take her somewhere special. Will never return to this restaurant.

    Service, management and atmosphere were superb. However, on this visit the food left a lot to be desired especially considering the mandatory prix fixe menu. Highlights of the menu were the chilled asparagus soup and crudo cold course, but the brown butter skate was almost inedible. Hoping the food is back to the usual standard next time we visit.

    My wife and I drove from Chicago to have dinner at Le Bouillon. They had a table waiting for us that was perfect. We were greeted with a big smile and sat immediately. The experience of picking out our own wine was the best experience I have had personally experienced. We picked out a fantastic wine from Spain 🇪🇸. It made our week complete! Looking forward to returning on May 12 for dinner! Jason & Sondra

    Wine fountain is fantastic, food was delicious. Caviar was affordable (people will fight me on that but they don't understand what it costs the restaurant).

    I recommend the chef’s three-course menu if you would like a good selection of dining options. The menu had pescatarian and vegetarian-friendly dishes that were delicious and the kitchen was willing to do a modification to one of the dishes which I appreciated. The restaurant has a nice ambience and I found the meal satisfying after a full day of activities.
