    Honestly It was pretty average. Maybe even below average. I’ve been trying to get in here for awhile and I’m kind of upset with how it went. Our server was rushed and was clearly rushing us. The food was fine, we got the tuna crudo to start. It came over this sugary cracker which did not taste good. The escargot was fine. The steak frites were very good. Only thing worth getting there. Our bill was $250 dollars. This was weirdly high so we checked what we were being charged for and our server “accidentally” added a $40 charge for a side of extra sauce…..

    Le Bouchon is the closest you can get to a Paris bistro dining experience in Chicago, and it always has been. Tonight marked our 29th year dining there.

    Onion soup had few onions and lots of bread. Mussels were very salty. Small amount of rabbit in that dish. Very noisy. Didn't need music playing loudly. Distracted pounding coming from the kitchen. Very disappointing evening

    Le Bouchon was over the top incredible. The food was incredible, the service top notch, and my god the crème Brulé left us speechless. We will be back, and then back again.

    Really loved the ambiance/vibe and energy. Our server was awesome and very attentive. The wine was wonderful (great glasses of Boudreaux). The food was good but not outstanding. We had the salad Lyonnaise, which had too much dressing on it and turned it 'soupy'. We also had the steak and frittes. The sauce was wonderful and the frittes were great and while the steak was cooked as ordered (medium rare) it and sauce came to our table room temperature to borderline cold, which was disappointing and made the overall meal good but not great.

    First time experiencing your gem of a restaurant.  There is a passion in the air within the walls of your restaurant that you cannot buy. It’s in your blood and everything was just utterly perfect.  Thank you for a memorable evening!
