    There was a group of loud women who dominated the noise. Unfortunately staff did not take control and ask them to keep their voices down. Consequently, everyone had to raise their voices to have a conversation and it was unpleasant to dine. Waitstaff was ok but no personality.

    Europeans are better at holding quiet conversations at close tables. Americans are loud and speak over each other rather than under the loudest voice. At LeBouchon the tables are smashed into a small space, the table next to yours must be a mere 5 or 6" away, or rather, close. Wait staff turns sideways to walk between tables. The staff seemed stressed out at how busy it can get. There is barely room to rise from the table to leave without inconveniencing others at the near table. Good food and good companionship deserve more.

    Had a great winter lunch with onion soup, a glass of wine, and a nice desert. Service was excellent. Always a go to place for a good French dining experience.

    Very loud, cold, and my chair was bashed more than 20 times by staff members. Don’t go for the ambiance. Rabbit stew, pate, and French bread were all delicious
