We stopped in for a meal before going to the Orpheum. We were quickly seated and our server also greeted us quickly. We had the Salmon Entree and the Broiled Oysters appetizer. Both were very good. We've been here before and will go again.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner including appetizers and dessert. The trout and salmon entrees were wonderful and we all enjoyed the panna cotta dessert. Service was prompt and unobtrusive. We can’t wait to go back.

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.
