My wife and I had a fantastic dinner here. The service was terrific, the restaurant itself was very cozy and had a wonderful, unique appearance. The food was great as well and very appropriately priced. We intend to go back in the near future to see what else is great on the menu.

Our meal was good yesterday evening, the plum creek farm chicken was nothing special but chicken was cooked well, the vegetables definitely have room to be elevated (though they were sort of bland). Compliments to a well cooked burger, however was never asked the temperature I would like the meat cooked which I thought is a typical question asked. Very good utilization of the dining space. Overall, has room to be improved food-wise and has a lot of potential to be an even better restaurant.

Our experience started with a restaurant with bright lights reducing any upscale ambience. Our disappointment came with the menu being completely different than what was published online. More confusion came when ordering a sweetbread appetizer that was actually veal with nothing in the menu notating it wasn’t actually bread. It was described as cheese, cream and vegetables. Another issue we had was the server suggesting a Syrah with the cassoulet when there was no Syrah on the wine list and she said the Bordeaux was their Syrah. Two different grapes from two different regions. Overall the experience was not up to par, although the food was good and the server was nice. I wouldn’t recommend based on the lack of accurate communication.

We generally avoid going out on the bid holidays like NY Eve. But were tempted by the NY Eve pre-set menu at Bouillon and were so very glad we came out. I know it was a busy night, but service perfect, an amazing menu and wine pairings for 4 guests who are very spoiled. Gave us a happy start for the year!

My group of friends and I had an amazing NYE dinner in the wine room. The price fixe menu was just the right amount of food and each course was unique. The service was excellent and we never felt rushed.

This was (apparently) our second time at Le Bouillon and it did not disappoint. The value (especially for their prix fixe menu) was excellent. The food was excellent. The staff was wonderful and the wine selections were great with quite decent prices for a restaurant. We will be back.
