    We booked this reservation on a whim for Memorial Day weekend and we cannot say enough good things about our experience here. The food was prepared exceptionally well, our service was fantastic, and we’d not hesitate to eat here again. My husband had the NY Strip, I had the Prime Rib and both were outstanding. Portion sizes were generous without being over the top, and the sides were delicious.

    Had the Mother's Day special, Salmon Oscar. The salmon was cooked very well, moist and tender, and they were generous with the snow crab. The salad to start was flavorful, and the overall experience was excellent. We felt that it was a great value, and the server was knowledgeable and friendly.

    Boubons food is excellent. I almost always get the petit filet mignon as it is plenty to eat and is prepared just as I like it, medium rare. My wife likes the lobster bisque. We always ask for Claire as our server as we have known her for years from the various venues at Turtle Creek and she provides exceptional, friendly service.

We wish we could afford to go there every single week. The other servers we have had in the past are also terrific. We loved the newly added truffle fries and the au gratin potatoes were our favs. The homemade salad dressings are so good! We also sprung for dessert - their homemade ice creams are the best!
