    Food was great- super crowded room. Waitress didn’t provide adequate solution to rocking table and was snarky about a menu item that she claimed was not on the online posted menu, even though it was. It was a menu item that was the reason for my choosing that restaurant.

    Amazing food. The table next to us was incredibly loud though which made it hard to truly enjoy the environment

    The day’s special was duck confit Benedict. What’s not to like! The yolks were a beautiful rich color. My friend and I usually go there for their delicious onion soup, but duck confit was hard to resist on a chilly dreary day

    I had not been in quite some time, which was a grave mistake…the healing powers of French onion soup & steak frites should never be underestimated. The steak frites “manion style” is six degrees of separation to in & out’s “animal style”…au poivre all over the steak & fries…maple creme brulee with crispy maple flakes- WINNER

    We are long term customers of le bouchon but haven’t been for years. We were disappointed in lack of quality in space and table service Too many tables crammed in, disappointed with lack of table cloths and napkins. Food quality and presentation definitely went down a notch. Service was excellent but couldn’t make up for the overall experience. Too expensive for quality of experience.

    Great food but exceptionally high in fat content. But it’s a French restaurant so that’s assumed.
