    My date night was over all great!!!! Our server was Max, he was amazing. He gave honest food options and knew the menu well. Food came out fast and was good. A little on the high side of the dollar but a great place so I didn't mind.

    I recently dined at La Grande Boucherie, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! As someone with celiac disease, dining out can often be stressful, but the team at La Grande Boucherie went above and beyond to ensure my safety and comfort. Before my visit, I reached out to let them know about my dietary restrictions, and their response was incredibly reassuring. They informed me that their head chef and kitchen team were fully aware of my needs and took meticulous care to prevent cross-contamination. While their fryer isn’t gluten-free (so fries were off the menu for me), they made excellent alternative recommendations and ensured that everything I ordered was completely safe. The food was great! The salads were fresh and vibrant, and the steak and eggs were absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection. What made the experience even better was the effort the chef took to make all the appetizers gluten-free, so I could safely share them with my friends. The service was impeccable, and I left feeling both satisfied and safe, which is rare for someone with celiac disease. La Grande Boucherie has set a high standard for gluten-free dining, and I can’t recommend it enough. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

    I took my wife here for her birthday. It was the first time either of us have been and it was Phenomenal. The food was amazing and the drinks were great. Our serve was Briana and she was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about both the menu and drinks. She gave great suggestions and made sure we were taken care of. She definitely helped make the experience better with how accommodating she was with everything. My wife loved it and they even gave us a more secluded table so we could have our own little corner to ourselves. We will definitely be going back!
