   The outside dining on the street just doesn’t cut it for a high end place. Zero ambiance. The food and service is great, but this Covid holdover dining space has to go. Won’t return until that’s gone

   We had a lovely dining experience at Bouchon. Our server, Dominic was well versed on the menu and gave us impeccable service. Our meals were served hot and plated well and delicious. I would highly recommend Bouchon for a truly fine dining experience! We will come back!

   Despite having reservations for a specific time, we were told to wait outside in the cold for 20 minutes.

   Very limited wine selection, not many French wines available for a French restaurant. We got the French onion soup which was pretty good. The rack of lamb and scallop trio was very average for the price. Overall pricey dinner but we left underwhelmed.

   We were really looking forward to dining here. However, the food was just “okay”. It was nothing out of the ordinary - we expected better.

   My new favorite restruant. The French Onion Soup was superb. My husband and I shared the mixed green salad and it was in our opinion, delicious. My husband had the duck and he loved it. I had the rack of lamb and I really appreciated that it was served with the lamb chops cut separate. It was served with roasted beets and couscous. Presentation was very nice. It was excellent. We did not have desert.

    The scallop trio appetizer was amazing as always. The duck was just ok, but what they served with it was good. The chicken was great. The bread and butter could use some work. My friend and the table next to us agreed on that one. Still a fun experience and I will be back.
