Beautiful restaurant! My husband had the Culottes steak that he really enjoyed. Unfortunately, I really cannot tolerate vinegar and although I asked for a dry salad the radishes were soaked in it and kind of ruined it for me. The server comped me the onion soup which was very good so I appreciated that. I made the mistake of not asking if their was vinegar on the trout because that is not something I’d seen before but the trout and green beans were fine but they were covered with cabbage leaves marinated in vinegar so I got light vinegar fish which was not expected. While the service was good a savvy server would have connected the dots on that.

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
