Nice place, great service—both the sommelier and the waiter. Charming brasserie ambience. But the food just isn’t there. I was super excited to be able to order my favorites: lobster and mushrooms, duck. Sadly, the bisque was way too salty and was served with a skin on top that should not have been there. The duck was very overcooked and dry, served with a cherry-hoisin sauce that was refrigerator cold. Not good. My husband’s salad was very good and the snapper was tasty, but also overcooked.

My wife and I so very much wanted to love this place! We LOVE french food, and Boulon looks SO fun and lovely. Sadly, it did not live up to the hype. First off, it's not really french food, it's just fancy downtown food. They have risotto, pork schnitzel and rigatoni, these are not french dishes. They DO have Coq Au Vin, but NOT Boeuf Bourguignon. Anyway, aside from what they should have, the food was not great. I had the Escargo, and it was SO salty, I mean burn your tongue, drink a full glass of water salty. Then I had the Scallops and risotto, I suppose the were cooked nicely, but the flavor was VERY one note, and honestly boring. The risotto had very little risotto in it, mostly it was just a pasty bland sauce, and with only 3 scallops, and very little risotto, it was more of an appetizer than a main course. We did have the BLUE CRAB BEIGNETS as an appetizer, and I will say they were delightfully light, and full of crab, not just bread and filler. Not sure WHY they are called beignets, other than it's a fancy french word, they are not beignets, but probably the best thing I ate there. So with just a couple glasses of wine, it came to well over $300.00. Sorry, that's ridiculous for a meal I didn't even enjoy, except for the crab. Disappointed, and wont be back. Oh, and my wife and I were celebrating our birthdays (2 days apart) and the waitress KNEW that, did she do ANYTHING to surprise us? Nope, nothing. She could have stuck a candle in one of the crab Beignets, but nope, nothing.

Service was fantastic. We had the escargot and salmon (special) for appetizers. Coq au Vin and Duck Confit for our mains. Bread pudding for dessert. All were very good! It was a little pricey but nothing crazy.
