Caroline SchulweisMay 17, 2015Everything was amazing and tasted so fresh. Loved the lamb special and steak tartare. Truffle fries were awesome, as was the side gnocchi with garden vegetables.

Kirsten LeshkoSeptember 4, 2014Great meal! Definitely start with the onion soup-best I've ever had! The chicken (below) also good but flavor profile similar to soup so if I had to do over, would choose a different main course.

Brian StraussFebruary 7, 2022A tour de force of brassiere classics. A reference point in both execution and service. A tremendous experience that will also “take you back”. Fantastic in every way.
UpvoteDownvote- Daisy ZookDecember 16, 2020Outdoor seating due to current pandemic. The truffle fries are definitely worth it. Had the Steak Frites - awesome. The french onion soup was great on a cold day. Definitely save room for desserts!!UpvoteDownvote
Ashley SpearsMarch 21, 2017The truffle risotto is worth every penny. Perfectly al dente rice, suspended in luscious cream topped with shaved truffles. I also got the mussels and they were a bit too mustardy for my tasteUpvoteDownvote
Andrew GaldiNovember 13, 2017Consistently delicious. If you're not too hungry, it's a great place to grab a bowl of soup and enjoy some of their delicious baguetteUpvoteDownvote
Dan HarrisonOctober 17, 2014Everything here is great. Try a half order of the Moules aux Poireaux (dip the bread!) so you can leave room for a couple smaller plates.UpvoteDownvote
RCcolaMay 28, 2013Bone marrow app. Compared to even the bev hills location, this dish sings perfection. Most marrow apps are too salty but this one is remarkably well balanced with hints of citrus, garlic and capers.Upvote4Downvote
Alejandro ArangoSeptember 21, 2013What a fantastic place. Great mussels, radishes and steak. Super atmosphere in a beautiful place. And the service is really good too. Totally recommended.UpvoteDownvote
Michelin Travel & LifestyleNovember 26, 2013Go hearty w/ boudin blanc or pan-seared skate, or light w/ toasted barley salad. Dessert is a must: crème caramel is perfect. – Green Guide EditorUpvote3Downvote- Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014Nothing but the classics at Bouchon! When I am in Napa I like to share a plâteau de fruits de mer and Napa Valley wine with my close friend Thomas Keller.UpvoteDownvote
SuperbJuly 11, 2013To those of us who never thought Chicken and Waffles could be gourmet...we were wrong. The Bouchon brunch proves to be a delicious respite from your weekend winery tour.Upvote1Downvote
Jason COctober 18, 2016Reservations very recommended. The breakfast sausage I ordered with my brunch was delicious and plentiful.UpvoteDownvote
Sue KirklandFebruary 12, 2023Loved the French onion soup, and the brisket- very nice experience overall. Also a good wine list!Upvote1Downvote
Michelle WilesMay 24, 2016Rhubarb tart and paper planes rose is a nice combo. Go after 10pm when it's cleared out

Kristopher ChavezJuly 1, 2017Get the foie gras terrine. We even got one to go, and I don't think they normally do that. So good!UpvoteDownvote
Tatyana FisherAugust 26, 2013Classic French cuisine too perfectly executed by Thomas Keller' team. Try the gazpacho for appetizers and veal for the main course.UpvoteDownvote
Jason KarshFebruary 13, 2016Fantastic take on French Bistro, the mussels, rib eye, and French onion soup were great.UpvoteDownvote
Dafna MichaelsonJanuary 24, 2015Yes! Show up for lunch, even without a reservation, just in case they can get you in!

The Daily MealFebruary 22, 2011We all love truffle fries, but if a restaurant like Bouchon can enslave with its poulet rôti you can only imagine the pleasures of other French classics like Boudin Blanc and Coquilles St. Jacques. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
Juan CardenasSeptember 16, 2012Don't worry if it's full, everybody has reservations, but you can stand by the bar and wait for a table. Oh yeah, don't mind about the faces at the entrance.UpvoteDownvote- Dan HarrisonOctober 17, 2014The bibb lettuce salad is simple, yet one of the most amazing things I've ever had.UpvoteDownvote
Sherry LiMay 10, 2015Solid French bistro food. Loved the bread and butter here. Bone marrow is good.UpvoteDownvote
Nick JordanAugust 30, 2014I love French onion soup, but I've never tasted anything quite like this. Seriously amazing.UpvoteDownvote
Lin MaAugust 4, 2016Truffle fries is tasty but no so fantastic. Steak is not bad, onion soup is so so. Overall a French bistro restaurant which is relatively rare in this region but quality leaves a bit to be desired.UpvoteDownvote- Dan HarrisonOctober 17, 2014Don't sleep on the fries. Thin but not shoestring, exquisite texture, and they manage to keep a potato flavor you usually only see in steak fries.UpvoteDownvote
Michelle L.October 16, 2013Incredible experience all around but holy mackerel, BEST Brussels sprouts I've ever eaten.UpvoteDownvote- 2Plus2NYCReviewOctober 10, 2011Rabbit Rillet and Bacon Eggplant Quiche are amazing! The Pot de Creme with Honey and Fig is out of control delicious!UpvoteDownvote
Jole PDecember 24, 2015Their truffle season specialties are DELISH with hue amounts of truffle.UpvoteDownvote
RosiFebruary 7, 2013Cahors, Clos La Coutale (80% Malbec and 20% Merlot) is an excellent wine for a very reasonable price.UpvoteDownvote
The Culinary Institute of AmericaNovember 15, 2012CIA grad Spike Mendelsohn worked at Bouchon, which not only serves French cuisine, but has a unique wine list as well.UpvoteDownvote
Jason NewbergJune 24, 2015Service was lacking for a Keller/M Star place. The escargot and their halibut special were excellent.UpvoteDownvote
Shaun ElyJanuary 15, 2018Wife found a stone in her food, rather than a comp meal we got a couple take home desserts. Wife had diarrhea afterward. For the money and the ownership we expected better. Will never return/promote..UpvoteDownvote
- Dan HarrisonJune 27, 2015There is nothing about this place that I don't like. It's consistently my favorite restaurant in America.UpvoteDownvote
