   The cuisine at Bouchon is creative, savory and delicious. The combination of entrées and sides are uniquely paired, but pricey. The ambiance is lovely. However, I didn't like sitting in front of the open kitchen. It raised the noise level and increased the traffic from the servers. The front patio looked like the place to sit. Wish I had known. For the price, one would expect a little more attention to these details.

   Food, service, and wine service were excellent. Restaurant offered small taste of a wine to help me decide.

   The trio of scallops was outstanding, with 3 distinct and delicious tastes. My local fish was perfect, and my wife’s beef shank was tender and tasty. The lemon cake dessert came with a lit candle to celebrate her birthday. Excellent service by Christian. A great evening.

   We had dinner at Bouchon to celebrate our anniversary. We had really good service (friendly and knowledgeable about the wine/food) and the staff were very kind to congratulate us on our milestone. The parklet had a nice atmosphere, with plenty of space between diners, and environmental control so we weren't too hot or too cold. We had French onion soup, goat cheese tart, venison, duck, lemon-blackberry cake, and creme brulee, and they were all delicious!

   Great experience, perfect acoustics, outstanding wine list, menu even though not extensive it was very balanced… service very good… did not rush customers and explained thoroughly when inquired regarding the specials of the day.
