My first visit to La Grande Boucherie was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the hostess greeted us warmly, wished me a happy birthday, and escorted us to a gorgeous balcony table with a stunning view of the restaurant. The service was impeccable, and the food and drinks were nothing short of spectacular. To start, we enjoyed the wagyu carpaccio and French onion soup (both were exceptional). For our entrées, we ordered the Filet De Boeuf and the Boucherie Burger, each cooked to perfection. To top off the evening, we got crème brûlée, complete with a candle to celebrate my birthday. The thoughtful details and incredible dining experience made this a night to remember! :)

Had a wonderful experience at Boucherie. We were seated immediately at a wonderful table with a view of the decorations and the restaurant. The wait staff was very helpful and friendly. The food we ordered was amazing and the prices not astronomical. For the quality of the food and the overall experience it was appropriately priced.
