Great experience and accommodations were easily made. The atmosphere was fun, definitely good vibes. We celebrated my husband’s birthday and their staff was very accommodating with our few needs as we had our 3 month with us along with her stroller. Portions were generous and food was delicious.

Bouche is a charming, cozy French restaurant tucked away on Bush Street. It’s best to make reservations as seating is limited. The service is spot-on; your wine glass is kept filled and water is always in your glass. And the food—I t is nothing short of delicious. The scallops were the most flavorful I’ve ever had and the lobster bisque was smooth and rich, but hearty. The service is bustling but you never feel ignored and the waitstaff is friendly and accommodating. Bouche is an intimate place for a truly memorable dinner. It has become our new go-to restaurant when we visit the city.
