Wow, were we disappointed. My Gnocchi was drenched in olive oil, could not even eat. The only thing decent were the french fries. Our waiter was not attentive or friendly. We were so excited to go and so disappointed with our outcome! more

We went at noon on a Friday and the restaurant filled up quickly. But it was disconcerting to have the table which was seated next to us, and seated after we were seated, to be served their lunch orders before ours. We seemed to be in the "safe to ignore" status as our server went for the more tables/less service... more

Great restaurant-great service. You can see the attention to detail under Thomas Keller's hand. Get the steak and frites. I loved it, as opposed to Redd. more

Fantastic and open past 9pm. We went twice in three days. Fantastic muscles/frites and the sweetbreads alone are worth the trip. more

Bouchon is a high concept, low quality place. It is something that Disney would cook up in Orlando to give you "a French experience". Ok for Disney, but Thomas Keller? You walk in and it looks right; however the food is only a rough approximation of what you would expect at a quality French bistro. They take a few classics... more

We arrived a little early for our reservation and were seated in a lovely corner table. The staff were very attentive with regards to our wine orders, bread & water replenishment. We started with the bibb lettuce salad with herbs (tarragon I think) , which was absolutely perfect; simple and delicious. Then, because it had been highly recommended by friends,... more

I have been to Bouchon four times, most recently in January. I have never been disappointed. Looks, feels and tastes like something right out of Paris. Not cheap, but the bistro food is superb, wine list excellent. Noisy, fun scene. Perhaps up to the Red Lobster in Valencia... more

After reading multiple reviews on Thomas Keller and purchasing his cookbook (French Laundry) I decided to book a reservation at Bouchon. Since French Laundry is a little out of my price range ($$$$) I figured I would try the next best thing. To my surprise I was highly disappointed and embarrassed to say the least. My in-laws decided to join... more

Favorite among favorites as an authentic French bistro right down to the pomme frites. Lively bar scene, great wine list. more
