Food and experience was great until we got the crème brûlée which fell far short of being caramelized. It was quite grainy and put a sour note at the end of our dinner.

Review of Bon Ami: A Missed Opportunity in French Bistro Dining Bon Ami, a French bistro and creperie, has a charming atmosphere and a warm, welcoming staff. The space is well-utilized, creating an inviting environment that sets high expectations. Unfortunately, the food falls short—dramatically so—due to an overwhelming use of salt that renders many dishes nearly inedible. The French onion soup was a major disappointment. Instead of deeply caramelized onions that bring out the natural sweetness of the dish, the onions were underdeveloped, resulting in a bitter flavor. The excessive cheese turned into a chewy, gum-like layer rather than the indulgent, melty topping one hopes for. My chicken croquettes were even saltier—bordering on absurd. They lacked the delicate contrast of a crisp outer shell and creamy interior, instead resembling dense rice balls. My wife’s salad was equally over-seasoned and drenched in dressing, making even the simplest dish overwhelming. That said, the tuna was well-prepared, which suggests the kitchen has potential if they can correct their heavy-handed seasoning. Dessert was a partial redemption. The crepes were decent, though the portion size felt excessive—again, not in line with a true French bistro experience. The generous portions and friendly service can’t make up for the fact that the kitchen seems either to be skipping tastings or suffering from salt blindness. Until they recalibrate their seasoning and refine their execution, Bon Ami is a missed opportunity rather than a must-visit. Would I return? Only if I hear the food has improved.
