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.
MYOctober 2, 2015Crab with avacado as hors d'oeuvres, maine bouchot mussels steamed white wine for plats principaux or ask for salmon daily👍 sauted spinach with garlic and button mushrooms glazed with veal for sides❤
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.
- 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!!
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 taste
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 baguette
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.
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 Editor
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.
Alan RMarch 22, 2015Have done everything from appi's at the bar to full blown meals. You cannot go wrong EVER here
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.
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.
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!
Jason COctober 18, 2016Reservations very recommended. The breakfast sausage I ordered with my brunch was delicious and plentiful.
Tatyana FisherAugust 26, 2013Classic French cuisine too perfectly executed by Thomas Keller' team. Try the gazpacho for appetizers and veal for the main course.
Michelle WilesMay 24, 2016Rhubarb tart and paper planes rose is a nice combo. Go after 10pm when it's cleared out
Sue KirklandFebruary 12, 2023Loved the French onion soup, and the brisket- very nice experience overall. Also a good wine list!
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 more
Alex GonzalezAugust 7, 2014Incredible pâté, meats, and chocolate mousse. Do not miss Bouchon in Napa.
- 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.
Jason KarshFebruary 13, 2016Fantastic take on French Bistro, the mussels, rib eye, and French onion soup were great.
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.
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.- Dan HarrisonOctober 17, 2014The bibb lettuce salad is simple, yet one of the most amazing things I've ever had.
Sherry LiMay 10, 2015Solid French bistro food. Loved the bread and butter here. Bone marrow is good.
John ShaverApril 7, 2011James and Sabrina are top notch bartenders. They have great cocktails not listed on the menu rolling around in their brain. Make sure you try something new
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.
Dafna MichaelsonJanuary 24, 2015Yes! Show up for lunch, even without a reservation, just in case they can get you in!
- 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.
- 2Plus2NYCReviewOctober 10, 2011Rabbit Rillet and Bacon Eggplant Quiche are amazing! The Pot de Creme with Honey and Fig is out of control delicious!
Michelle L.October 16, 2013Incredible experience all around but holy mackerel, BEST Brussels sprouts I've ever eaten.
Nick JordanAugust 30, 2014I love French onion soup, but I've never tasted anything quite like this. Seriously amazing.
Jason NewbergJune 24, 2015Service was lacking for a Keller/M Star place. The escargot and their halibut special were excellent.
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..
RosiFebruary 7, 2013Cahors, Clos La Coutale (80% Malbec and 20% Merlot) is an excellent wine for a very reasonable price.
Diane ChangOctober 10, 2011Steak frites was good but not to die for. Preferred Floating island dessert to pot de creme. Good service.
Brian LowryApril 2, 2012Thomas Keller (and his staff) know foie gras. I don't care what else you do, skip this dish and you're missing out!
Harris OrangesNovember 3, 2010Transport yourself to Paris - and see if you can't turn on your charm and steal a meal from the maitre'd. Either the one from here or the Laundry.- Dan HarrisonJune 27, 2015There is nothing about this place that I don't like. It's consistently my favorite restaurant in America.
