Tom Keller No Longer Cares. I have been here many times over the last 6 years, and I can honestly say the quality has taken a nose dive. Examples? Last night I had a "Endive Salad" that was missing menu apples ingredient - and the manager told me that it was excluded because they were no longer in season? Seriously? Apples are now hard to come by? Additionally, the food was bland. The waiter was interested in one thing - pushing the tab up. We paid 7 bucks for filtered tap water, when most restaurants just give you that! The chicken was good, but perhaps a bit too much salt and not enought flavor (like it was made in bulk days ago). The french fries (they actually admitted) were from a frozen bag - thats horrific - heck even TGI Fridays has hand cut fries! Unfortunatly, in the world of food, its part of the cycle of life, a great chef must eventually kick back and ride the profit wave, in order for new restaurants to pop up. This is the perfect example.…
Good food, rude waitress!. The food is pretty good, unfortunately some of the wait staff needs to loose the attitude. I was excited to be taking my husband out for his birthday. My excitement took a drive when I asked our waitress about a good wine pairing with my meal. She rolled her eyes. I was simply asking a question and this response was clearly uncalled for. She continued to roll her eyes a few times during the evening. Even as she was taking my credit card, she sneered at me. I seriously was about to leave 0 tip, but my husband convinced me that the other wait staff/busboys/servers, etc would loose out as well. She needs to be demoted to head dishwasher!…
One of the BEST Vegas restaurants!!!.
I ate there on friday night. from start to finish the dinner was amazing! superb cuisine, with excellent service. Timing and temperature of the food was very impressive. The decor, lovely.
Me & 2 friends ordered wine (servers suggestion) the cheese plate. Delectible selection
Onion soups, tomato bisque. My O soup was PERFECT! All 3 of us had warm goat cheese salads that Im still craving almost 1 week later. My friends ordered Steak Bouchon, that were enormous, and you could cut it with a butter knife! Melted in your mouth! I had the lobster tail, served cold, and was perfect! we had Mac n cheese that was very tasty, the desserts were phenomenal!!! Ordered an airy custard that had a marshmallow airy consistency. The brownies were delicious, and there was another dessert that we had that was like a chocolate ganache, I couldnt get enough!!!! The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food, and it was a very wonderful dining experience!!! 5 STARS…
Undercooked Chicken is supposed to be that way!.
My wife was setting me all up for a great meal at a very fine restaurant. We are seated promptly and were offered water right off the bat. No mention it was going to cost us $7.00 til the bill was
presented. So be real careful to specify tap and send the waiter back with the water in hand unless you want to spring for the spring water. I order the chicken and we split a salad. The waiter was pleasent and say's the salad is big enough to split and brought out an extra plate - no hassle. The chicken dinner arrived and I get about half way thru it 'and find the middle part is raw! I call the waiter and ask him "Doesn't this look undercooked and raw to you? He replys " Oh that is because the vascular area is adjacent to the bone and just looks that way" Then walks like FU. I'm looking around - WTF and can't even get a chance to send it back to have it cooked. I didn't eat anything more after that. The waiter doesn't show up til again until the assistants have cleared the plates and it's dessert time. Needless to say I will not be going back there again. The chicken I did eat was good but didn't meet my expecitations based on some of the review's I've read. We ate at several restaurants in this price range and this was by far the worst dining experience we had in Vegas. My wife is a little more forgiving but I just hate paying $150 for a dineer had have to experience this kinda thing.
If you are debating between Bouchon and someplace else - try the someplace else as I know I will from now on. Brad…
not what we expected.
Food was just ok, nothing out of common, but expensive. Our waiter was impertinent, and we felt judged because we didn't order an appetizer, and wanted to go straight to the main course. I saw other
waiters in the restaurant being nice and courteous, but this guy ( superior attitude, dark blond hair, goatee) was treating us like he was doing us a favor. We had the duck a l'orange and the scalops, and it took them 45 minutes to bring the food over. We had to ask for our drinks to be refilled for two times. We were not sure what to choose for desert and when my husband asked the waiter what he recommended, he answered: I don't know, it depends on what you want. Another waiter, or busboy stood next to our table for as long as we were there, "observing " the room, and I noticed him listening to our conversation for several times.
All in all, not a friendly, welcome atmosphere, a pompous place, rigid. And again, the food lacked that "wow!", special factor that you would expect to come with a pretentious, expensive meal. It was just common flavor in very small portions with some stuff smeared on the plate to give you the feeling that it is fancy and refined, in an attempt of copying the elegant presentation of food in famous restaurants.
But mostly we were upset with the bad service. Hire some nice, courteous waiters who are capable to make your customers feel welcome and not ruin their appetite.
Will never go back!…
