    Lunch special at the Bocuse was wonderful. I had the beet salad. Amazing textures, flavor, devine touch of a cream sauce. Never experienced such amazing beets. An experiment for me that was 5 stars. My German husband had this potato, bacon, cheese appetizer . Too rich for me . He loved it. For our main entre, I had a super soft salmon with squash in a celery cream sauce. An usual flavor but very delicious. My hubby had the chicken in an amazing wine sauce. Our bread was seved with optional olive oil or butter. We had both. Desserts were incredible crepes. Wow we were full. Service was superb. Catch it if you can. The place was packed.

    The food was exceptional! The staff, "Jay" and others, were very attentive. We had the Truffle Soup V.G.E , Tartiflette, the Market fish (red snapper), and the pork tenderloin for our first two courses. For dessert we had the deliciously decadent Crêpes Soufflés. Overall, very satisfied and we shall return!

    Everything was excellent from the greeter to the servers right through dessert. Our waiter, Joey, was particularly attentive to our dietary restrictions.  He also enthusiastically described the dishes without guiding us too much in any particularly direction, ensuring that we chose the dishes we were inclined to order.  The tableside ice cream service was awesome! We watched the student create ice cream out of milk and nitrogen in front of our eyes, so cool! Overall, just a terrific experience and we will definitely be back
