   The service was excellent. Highly advised to make reservations in advance since seating is very limited. The food was delicious and options were plentiful.

   First time coming in and it did not disappoint! The food was incredible. We ordered a seasonal special, the tartare and duck Peking and just WOW. Hot, delicious, hit all the good flavors (salt, fat, acid, heat) and just tasted so so good. The hostess and waitress were just OUTSTANDING individuals. I forget who the lovely hostess’ name was but the waitress was Heather. They were so informative about the menu, extremely patient, considerate, kind, just wonderful human beings which when you dine in a restaurant, the service truly makes or breaks the experience and this definitely made it. Cannot wait to dine here again!!

   Really enjoyed this meal! The restaurant is small and intimate, which makes it super special and fun. The waiter was very friendly, and helpful. When we weren’t thrilled about one of the items recommended, he brought us something else to try. The steak au poivre was phenomenal and so was the duck confit and maple creme brûlée. Will come back here to try more food!

   Fantastic food, quick and friendly service. It is a fairly small restaurant, so attending early dinner we felt like there were a lot of extra staff members walking around trying to look busy.

   Had a great lunch. Brought our stroller, was very tight but everyone was incredibly friendly after we listed it on our reservation. Food was great as well!

   New Spring menu is a great add to the classics. We had the snails vol au vent and lyonaise salad to start, then I had the pasta with truffles, while my hubs had the roast chicken. Since we went of a Monday (half price wine) we had a lovely sparkler from Juna that went with app, entree and desert.

    This was my second time at Le Bouchon. The first time dining here was lovely but this time was quite the opposite. The rolls arrived hard and obviously reheated. The steak my husband ordered was a cheap cut of meat and the fries had been salted to death. My ravioli was too salty as well as rubbery. The temperature was more for the staff as people started putting on their jackets, myself included. The music wasn’t keeping with the atmosphere of the place at all. A breakfast diner has more amiable service. For almost $200 it was a huge letdown and a waste of money. It seems like corners are being cut to where it was a year ago.
