Having purchased the book and prepared recipes from it, I was excited to visit the restaurant with my wife. The prices were what I would expect for a restaurant with this reputation, and the service was very good. HOWEVER...we were very disappointed that the hostess did not tell us that the air conditioning was broken before we were seated ...

I was excited to try this place out and I went with my roommate. Overall I was unimpressed. The service was good for the most part but the food was spotty. I had a salad that had spoiled walnut oil on it. Have you ever tried spoiled walnut oil? It tastes something like spoiled fish. Another thing is that while in the Bouchon cookbook it tells ...

Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful presentation, small perpotions, could there be any less lamb on an open faced sand?? Service attentive but not great, especially for auto gratuity. I would like to decide what they deserve. Be careful if dinning with a group and someone suggests splitting the bill. We made selections off the Hor-d'oruvres and ...

It took 45 minutes to get a tuna sandwich on stale bread with salty, dried out french fries. I am a chef and I was excited to eat there to be dissapointed. I could have a better sandwich at subway with an 1/8th of the price.

The place is cozy and intimate, very parisian in ambiance. I ordered the half-lobster seafood platter ($45) and my girlfriend ordered steak ($28). To my dismay, ...

Simple and delicious

We had lunch at Bouchon. The food was no suprise: simple and perfectly cooked. A great place to visit. Our waiter was in a hurry to give us our bill for some reason, which is probably the only bad thing to say about this place.

Bouchon
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/12/06
This bright little French restaurant is delightful. Actually, it is impeccable, and the food? Made with every attention to detail. The wine list is perfect, in my opinion; it is probably the only place to get Sancerres in Napa, and the service is without fault.
The restaurant is off the main wine highway, and offers outdoor seating under a ...

Great Food, High Price
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/09/05
Bouchon was everything I expected. The food was almost perfectly cooked, and the dishes were creative. Service was fine although our waiter seemed to be covering too many tables at once. However, as expected we spent more on lunch there than I would normally do for dinners at other nice restaurants, but it is still much more affordable than the ...

possible to get reservations

Not able to get a table at French Laundry? This isn't a bad substitute. Food is good and the price is reasonable.
