From the moment we walked in, I was impressed by the atmosphere. The lighting, seating, table setup, and overall ambiance created exactly the kind of dining experience I was hoping for. The restaurant felt elegant and inviting, and I arrived excited to see what a former Michelin-starred establishment had to offer. Unfortunately, the service fell far short of expectations. At first, I assumed this might be one of those restaurants where the service isn't great but the food makes up for it. That wasn't the case. Our server simply took our order, walked away, and later dropped off the food with very little interaction. Meanwhile, the table next to us received a completely different experience from the same server. They were asked about their preferences, given thoughtful recommendations, and guided through the menu. I have no idea why our experience was so different. We arrived friendly, respectful, and genuinely excited to dine there. It left me wondering whether we were being treated differently, and that feeling was disappointing. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected hospitality that matched the reputation. The food also failed to justify the cost. We ordered four steaks and a fish dish because, without recommendations, we chose familiar options. Perhaps those weren't the restaurant's specialties, but I wouldn't know because no one helped guide us through the menu. Of the four steaks, only two were cooked medium as requested, while the others arrived rare. Overall, the meal was decent, but only slightly better than what I'd expect from a place like Texas Roadhouse. In fact, the service at Texas Roadhouse is significantly better. Given the price, reputation, and expectations that come with fine dining, this experience was disappointing. I left wishing I had spent my money elsewhere. read more

Bouchon Bistro is a MUST when visiting the Napa Valley area. They have top notch service with an amazing atmosphere that is the cherry on top to their delicious food. I've been here several times and have never had a bad experience or a dish that I did not like. Every dish they offer is not only flavorful, but will leave your feeling more than satisfied. read more

Delicious food and great service. The restaurant is very low lit and seating can feel a bit tight, but that's part of the French bistro charm. Some of my favorites on the menu: the roast chicken and steak frites. I'd also recommend starting with the deviled eggs, salmon tartar and salad lyonnaise. If you have time between meals and wine tastings, don't miss passing by Bouchon bakery too :) read more

So what can I say about Bouchon. The service is top tier. It was pretty crowded. This is the first time ever going to a Thomas Keller restaurant. Hes very well known for his other restaurant the French Laundry also in the Napa Valley. I know French cuisine can be very rich but surprisingly I ordered pretty much things that were highly popular. I started with the French onion soup. The soup was hearty and had a good depth of flavor. It's pretty much like the one I make at home when i just want a good filling soup. If you're one who enjoys a lot of the melted cheese on it then this is for you. Secondly I ordered the truffle fries which were very good and did have a little bit of truffle essence but my opinion is I was go a little lighter on the salt. The other item was the salmon tartare which was replaced actually with the steak tartare. It was a bit loud so it was a honest mistake between the two. It's a popular spot and parking can be a challenge so reservations are highly recommended but fortunately my truck got a spot right on time. read more

As my foodie friend put it: "Standard French bistro fare flawlessly executed." The bread and pate to start was great, the mussels were perhaps the best I have ever had (and that is a tall order) with a spiced rich buttery broth, the lemon tart was also probably the best I have ever eaten. A friend ordered the profiteroles for dessert with chocolate sauce drizzled over them at the table. Fantastic. I last went to this restaurant about 25 years ago and forced my friends to go back since that experience was so good. I (and they) were not disappointed. There was a service error when our order got lost in a stack of orders in the kitchen (we were told) but they did what top notch restaurants should do - recover - and brought us two extra desserts. I joked with the manager I hoped they would make another error so we could enjoy more excellent food. It is a bit of a scene at the restaurant with tourists posing for selfies or IG posts outside, but that annoyance does not extend into the restaurant. It was noisy but not overly so. I would go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates excellent food and service. read more

Sat at the bar while my girls got manicures in between meals. Had a great glass of chablis with a dozen oysters. Really nice selection -- the special Beausoleil were the highlight. One of my favorites -- and these were perfectly fresh, well shucked and prepared, and to-die-for rich and creamy and saline-driven. I could eat 3 dozen of these in a sitting easy. Dove in with some shrimp from the raw bar which were great as well. I went with the traditional cocktail sauce that was tasty with a bit of zest (would love some horseradish with it!). I didn't love the mustard-type sauce they also serve with it -- kind of bland -- just really not my scene. Bartender was awesome -- 21 year veteran -- was advising some compatriots at the bar on meal selection and just kept hitting home runs. Even took care of my 3rd glass of wine because I shifted seats a few times to accomodate others since I was the lone single-seat guy. What a great place -- never had a bad meal or experience. Not sure why the reviews on here are so relatively challenged -- people need to get over prices -- you get what you pay for and everything from the food, to the wine, to the service is exceptional here! read more

The best way to describe my meal is underwhelming. We showed up on a weekday about 4:30 and the restaurant was mostly empty. It's a very fancy space and it feels upscale. We were helped quickly and checked on throughout our meal. We ordered the French onion soup, the croque madame and the steak and frites. Everything tasted fine, I think when I'm thinking of a fancy French restaurant I wanted more... It was good but not great. I felt my steak was a bit tough. And my hubs sandwich was dry. When we come back to Napa we won't come here. read more

This is one of the other Thomas Keller restaurants in Yountville. We went here with friends. We had a great outdoor table. The inside is very much inspired by a traditional French bistro. The servers were dressed accordingly. The service was attentive and very good. We had French pate for appetizers. We also had bread from the Boucher Bakery (yum). For the main course we had chicken, steak and mussels. The chicken and mussels were very good. The steak was unevenly cooked, but otherwise fantastic food. We had profiteroles for dessert. Overall a great experience, with only the inconsistent cook of the steak to mark it down a bit. A memorable evening. read more

Classic must eat when in napa. Right next door to bouchon bakery and down the street from the world famous the French laundry. Bouchon bistro is classic French and also tough to snag a reservation. We've been several times and food and service are consistent. This time staff were friendly and checked in frequently on how our meal was going. We tried the escargot, steak frites, and lamb shoulder. Food quality was delicious. Steak was cooked medium which in france means medium rare for us. So it was indeed medium rare and perfectly tender and well seasoned. Lamb shoulder was similarly delicious, so very tender with a nice char. Ambience was nice although the tables are quite close that you could literally hear the entire conversation of the table next to you without straining.... And vice versa. Prices seem to have risen quite but from the last time we were here , but it seems prices everywhere in napa have gone up quite a bit including the bakery next door. read more

Date of Visit: 10/27/2024 It has been a while since we last visited the Bouchon Bistro located in the heart of Yountville. We came to Napa Valley for fall colors and a late lunch in the picturesque little town. The trees at the roadside turned red and the vines turned golden yellow last weekend. We made the reservation for Bouchon Bistro about 2 hours ahead of our visit, and secured a 2:15pm slot. We sat right away at the couch area in the dining room. We were served a French Baguette with butter right away while we were browsing the menu. 2023 Realm Sauvignon Blanc $34 We got a glass of the Sauvignon Blanc from Farella Vineyard located in Napa Valley. This Sauvignon Blanc is crispy and tastes buttery at the beginning, and the long lasting finish with oaky and grassy notes. 2019 Chateau Bellegrave St Emilion $19 This Red Blend was made predominantly from Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Well balanced but the structure was not strong enough. A nice option to pair with seafood and duck. Escargot de Bourgogne $23 For appetizer, we got the Burgundy snails mixed with parsley-garlic butter, and the Bouchon Bakery puff pastry on top. Crevettes (4 shrimps) $26 We also got 4 shrimps chilled on ice with cocktail sauce and mustard. Confit de Canard $26 For my main course, I got the duck leg confit, on the bottom there was a cassoulet of Tarbais beans, garlic and toasted breadcrumbs. The duck leg confit had very crispy skin and juicy meat. Moules au Safran $43 Husband got the Maine bouchot mussels, and was steamed with white wine, Dijon mustard and saffron. On the side there was a bucket of French fries. read more

I have never been to The French Laundry but had to come check out their sister restaurant in between my wine tastings. We were lucky enough to score a reservation the day before, and were excited as Bouchon came highly recommended, and expectations were high as one would expect. We arrived early and were seated at the time of our reservation (stopped by the bakery while we waited for our table). Service was ok except for 2 small hiccups. A waiter mixed sparkling water into our still water when refilling one round. Not a big deal, just a little annoying. What was upsetting was I literally got stabbed in the back with a fork or knife after our table got cleared. In the waiters defense, it's kind of a tight space, but still shouldn't have happened regardless. I would expect better service from a place like this. Now let's talk food. Absolutely obsessed with the bread we got to start. We got the escargot, a salad, and beef tartare to start. The salad had a bit too much vinegar, but the beef and snails were perfect! Our next course consisted of the duck leg confit, mussels, and trout. The duck was a little dry. Trout was nice and buttery but could've had more flavor. Mussels were delightful. Overall, it was an okay meal. I wasn't blown away by anything and since expectations were high I felt that Bouchon missed the mark a little. Probably would've given 4 stars if I didn't get stabbed and if Thomas Keller's name wasn't attached to set such high expectations. For the price point I would assume there's better restaurants to check out in the area. read more

Terrible experience on June 12th 720 am . While the service was good my egg croissant ham sandwiches were still frozen ! I asked for it to be heated they were still ice cold . The vanilla lattes were not balanced. What has happened?! I was so disappointed I had a spa trip to get too so I couldn't go back and hand the frozen foods back . The eggs were thick and needed more time I don't get what happened but it looks like the recipe for it has changed . The chocolate croissant I ordered was stale and hard to consume . What has happened ? I intend on disputing the charge it was terrible ! read more

If everything at Bouchon was a good as their butter, then it would be 5 stars. I made a reservation for a friend's Birthday as far in advance as I could. I'm a fan of Top Chef, and have wanted to go to one of Thomas Keller's restaurants. The restaurant is a French bistro, and is lovely inside, however, the tables are quite packed in. It was quite loud when we arrived. I think if there a couple loud tables, everyone has to be louder, and the acoustics in the restaurant are not great. We had trouble hearing our server. We were disappointed in the service for a Michelin star restaurant. There were several times where we felt that we had to wave him down. It should not be difficult to pay the bill at a high quality restaurant. The menu was focused, with all the traditional favorites. I had one of their specials to start, a lobster dish that was fantastic. They also have bread they bring to the table, with their butter. We thought the bread was fine, not as good as expected with their own bakery, and as strange as it sounds, the butter helped make up for it. The rest of the meal, steaks, fries, and truffle potatoes, was very good. However, besides the mashed potatoes, which were stand out, I have had equally good elsewhere. I do not regret trying Bouchon, but did not find it Michelin star level. read more

Love love love every time I go to about Bouchon and the Yountville location is no different. Gorgeous location and chic French style bistro decor. Our server was very attentive and it was packed since it was a Saturday morning. We specifically asked for a corner booth and they were able to accommodate for us thankfully. I felt like the customers at nearby tables were staring plenty and I didn't enjoy that part. For appetizers we had the pate and the escargot. Both so amazing. For mains, we split the wagyu steak and the mussels. Both were great as well. We were stuffed by the end and had all of our fries leftover. The cocktails were so delicious as well, the mezcal based one was our fav. read more

Bouchon - Escargots la Bourguignonne and pate - French Near Me - Yountville, California

DELICIOUS! This was on my friend's bucket list but I waited a little too long to make reservations. About a month in advance there was one reso left for the night I wanted and it was at 5:30pm, but that was fine for us. They were PACKED when we got there, but they had a table all ready for us. It's a little cramped, I had to shimmy between tables to get to my seat, but it was doable. There were three of us and we shared everything we ordered. I knew I had to have the chicken liver mousse, I'd highly recommend that! We shared the boudin noir, none of us had ever tried blood sausage and when I first cut into it I was a little nervous when I saw the texture but it was DELICIOUS! Even my picky friend had a few bites and enjoyed it. Last we had the boeuf bourguignon, very good, but nothing I'd be dying to try again. read more

Came here once with a friend and another time with my father after a Broadway and Vine show. The first time I went was for my friend's birthday. We ordered three things being the steak tartare, the salmon, and the steak frites. Honestly, all were wonderful but they were all nothing to write home about. The plus side was that while we were full and the staff were kind enough to offer us a birthday dessert that we declined, they gave us a chocolate bar to celebrate my friend with. The gesture was incredibly sweet and beyond what I would have thought they would do. The second time with my father, I found the experience to be a lot better. We came in late on a busy weekend night. Although we were late and had no reservations (and were not able to make any), they quickly found us a table outside where we had an incredible table and the funniest and personable server. We started with the caviar service and it was incredibly done. All the detail that went into the accoutrements was evident and even as we demolished certain aspects of it, the server and the waitstaff were quick to replenish what we vacuumed up with our mouths. For dinner, we got the poulet roti and the mussels. Both were incredible and worth returning for in the future. Although my first experience felt bland in flavor and service, the second appearance I made persuaded me that I shall return in the near future. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised to see a prix fix menu for some sort of restaurant week, or restaurant month, promotion. $65 for an app and a main which was not bad of a deal. So I had the salmon tartare and the steak frites. The bread was warm. The salmon was great and the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. Service was good, waiter filled our water glasses often. Ambiance was nice, feels like a bistro in Paris. read more

Some nights you stumble into magic. You don't plan it. You don't deserve it. But there it is, served up like the last course of a meal you didn't know you were hungry for. We rolled into Yountville later than expected. Delayed flights, a rental car that felt like it ran on regret, and a hotel across the street where we tossed our bags and set out into the night. Half-starved, a little road-worn, and just looking for something to make the trip feel worthwhile. Then we saw it. Bouchon. Buzzing. Alive. Lights warm and golden, spilling out onto the sidewalk like an invitation. The place was packed, the air humming with conversation and clinking glasses. And somehow, like the universe held the door open, there were two empty seats at the bar. We took them without asking. Front and center. The sweet spot. Behind the bar, it was chaos dressed as choreography. Bartenders slicing citrus, pouring with precision, building cocktails like architects. Plates flew past, garnished within an inch of their lives. The room crackled. We started with a bottle of red. I couldn't tell you the varietal. The bartender said it was the best value on the list. He spoke with conviction, and he was right. French. Balanced. Bigger than it had any right to be. It opened the door to the night. Then came the bread. Still warm from the oven, crusty, comforting. Bread and wine can carry a night on their own, but then came the knockout punch. The Bouchon escargot. Snails swimming in garlicky butter, crowned with a puff pastry so delicate it flaked like ash. We've had escargot in Paris, in Nice, in back-alley bistros in Bordeaux. This beat them all. It was decadent, loud, unapologetically French in the best possible way. We didn't need entrées. It was late, and we were there for the moment. But the truffle fries.. those we couldn't resist. Earthy, crisp, addictive. They didn't just pair with the wine, they danced with it. Oysters and smoked trout passed by like minor characters in a story we'll come back to finish. Tonight was about the bar. The energy. The accidental perfection of it all. If you ever find yourself at Bouchon, do yourself a favor.. sit at the bar. Don't wait for the white linen and candlelight. Take the heartbeat of the place, right there in the middle of it all. Watch the show. Feel the rhythm. Be part of something. We'll be back. With time to spare and an appetite to match. But some nights, the unexpected ones, live longest. This was one of those. Not just a chef's kiss. A love letter to the power of a perfect night. read more

I have to admit, I was disappointed. Bouchon was on my bucket list of restaurants to check out due to Thomas Keller's brilliance. The restaurant was located right around the block from where we were staying at Maison Fleurie, so it was a two-minute walk to enjoy what the hype was about for Bouchon. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. The acoustics were loud to near deafening within the interior dining room. The clientele was quite obnoxious seated around us, and the service was slower than I anticipated, when we waited a bit for our main entrees. Sure the house-made butter for the freshly made bread and pistachio was nice to nosh while we reviewed our menu that represented a vintage newspaper similar to what you saw in early 20th century Paris -- which I admit was cool, it was challenging to get the server's attention for more drinks and to order our meal. While the cocktails from the bar were great such as the bee's knees and salade lyonnaise was magical, the steak frites was so chewy, I had a hard time swallowing it. The Gigot D'Agneau was also underwhelming between the chewiness and not tasting as flavorful as I anticipated. Maybe it was an off night for Bouchon, but I was expecting a lot more, especially with Keller's reputation in Yountville with all of his restaurant. Outside of the French Laundry, Bouchon was supposed to be gold standard with its centrally placed location in town. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. read more

This was my second time here. I had Thursday 7:45 PM dinner reservations for 2. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated. Nothing has changed, tables still jammed together. Besides that, I still love the feel and look of this restaurant. Complementary bread and butter were placed on our table. Shawna was our server, nice and friendly. We ordered cocktails while deciding what to order. Not being super hungry, we ordered the Escargot, Onion Soup and we were able to share a Steak Frites. The soup and escargot were excellent. My friends steak was cooked perfectly to his request. mine was extremely rare. I sent it back to be cooked more, obviously having to wait. Finally it came back cooked perfectly. My friend an I though both agreed, it was not the best cut of beef, very hard to cut and tough. Both cuts of meat had a lot of silverskin throughout and at this caliber of a restaurant... it's a disappointment. Atmosphere: you felt like you were actually in France in a Bistro. Service: good. Food: good. read more

Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from, but I absolutely loved my time at Bouchon. We ordered the chilled corn soup, salmon tartare, petit plateau and steak frites for my boyfriend. The chill corn soup is some of the best I have ever had, tastes similar to Japanese corn pottage. Petit Plateau was amazing, all the shellfish was so fresh loved the Kusshi Oysters and mussels. Smoked Salmon was great as well. The oat cappuccino is some of the best I have had in the US. Service was amazing, celebrated our anniversary here and they gave us a cute little card. read more

I've been wanting to try Thomas Keller's Bouchon for a few years now. I had a friend visiting from out of town a couple of months ago and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go. Shortly after dining at Bouchon, I dined at Thomas Keller's famous French Laundry and the two restaurants really can't compare. Bouchon was a bit tight inside, they even had to pull out the table just for my friend to squeeze into the bench seating. We were seated near the door, and it was heavy traffic behind my chair that one of their staff members even accidentally bumped my head. I know he didn't do it on purpose, but that just shows how cramped it is in there. Upon seating they served bread and butter, but what was awkward was that it wasn't even served on a plate. They just placed the bread on a table. You would think for the price you pay, it would at least come with plates to use. We ordered the Escargots de Bourgogne $19, this was actually great and I loved the pastry baked on top. For my entree I ordered the Steak Frites $54, this was alright, made pretty standard, but it didn't stick out in my mind. For dessert we got the Cherry Pistachio Ice Cream Sundae, we both didn't really like this and regretted ordering it. Overall, our experience was just alright. I think I had higher expectations for Bouchon since it's affiliated with Thomas Keller. My suggestion is to go to French Laundry instead for a better dining experience. read more

I came here for a birthday lunch with my husband and I was REALLY disappointed. Unfortunately I only give this place 2 stars and that's a " barely made it to 2' rating. When you think of Thomas Keller, some words come to mind are " excellence ", " inspirational " " spectacular  " and unfortunately Bouchon did not fit the bill on any of these. First let's talk about the ambiance. We got a really nice booth at the back but the place was so crowded! The inside is definitely VERY small and the tables are pretty close together. I know it's supposed to be modeled after a " French bistro " but man, you can barely get up without bumping into someone next to you. Also... SO MANY FLIES! I don't know what was happening there but we had SO many flies around us! It was reallyyyy annoying. The food: I can live with the ambiance being ok, as long as the food was great. But it wasn't. It was just... meh. We ordered the salmon tartare and it was just terrible. It lacked seasoning and I could barely eat it. Next we ate the fish and it was eatable but again, not great. I feel like their specialty is their steak and frites which we didn't have as it's pretty heavy and we were not that hungry. So that dish is definitely their classic. We also got a salad, that was meh again tolerable but not great. The best part of the meal was the peach cake for dessert. They even put a candle on it for my birthday which was really nice. Do note that the birthday cake is NOT complimentary and they will charge you for your dessert. Now the service... oh man that was also just awful. Our server barely came to talk to us but spend sooo much more time with the table next door as they were super drunk and kept ordering more bottles. And we were totally ignored. So not cool. So yeah thankfully we didn't splurge here but still for the experience it left a terrible impression especially since it's supposed to be Michelin star worthy. I would not make the trip specifically for this place as there are so many other better places to try in the area. read more

Another restaurant in Yountville that did not disappoint! I made a reservation on tock 2 days before, and I noticed a lot of open times. I believe you can make a reservation the same day if you wanted to. We came on a Monday for lunch and decided to sit outside since the weather was so nice. The patio area is not that big, but I didn't feel cramped and there were many open 2 and 4 seaters. Since they were known for their escargots, I decided to order that as an appetizer. The shell didn't come with it but instead the top was Bouchon Bakery puff pastry and the bottom were the snails. The parsley-garlic butter seasoning was delicious. The complementary bread was warm and the butter was out of the world. I also ordered the Steak Frites, Salmon Fume, Boudin Blanc. The steak was tender and the fries were crispy. I've never had an entire white sausage as a dish and it completely blew my mind, especially with the potato puree. I will definitely be back for another lunch or maybe even dinner. So glad I get to check off another restaurant on my Yountville list! read more

Some foods were great, some were pretty good, and one not good. The service was great. Our waiter was polite and attentive. 5 stars for service. The restaurant had a quaint feel, but it was pretty loud. I found it hard to hear my date at times. Anyways, food wise, we had the steak frites and mussel meals, plus onion soup. They served fresh bread which made my date very surprised at how good it was. Then, we had the onion soup which was fantastic as well. The main course was steak and mussels. The main dishes were cooked well, just a little salty. I was happy they made the steak medium rare correctly! We had truffle fries and spinach for the sides. The fries were nice and crispy with a light truffle flavor, a tad salty. The spinach was cooked nicely, but too salty. We considered telling the waiter, but decided not to bother the nice man. We were already full. read more

Bouchon - French Near Me - Yountville, California

Went here for a late birthday lunch. We were immediately greeted and seated. We came around 12:30pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't too crowded. The inside was cute and our server was super friendly and attentive. We ordered the steak tartare, steak frites, and salmon. They gave us complimentary freshly baked bread and butter. My friend loved the bread, but I found the bread to be a bit hard and it scratched up the roof of my mouth. Steak tartare (3.5/5): it was good, nothing special Saumon en Ecailles (4/5): salmon was perfectly cooked and the leeks in this dish were a wonderful addition Steak frites (4/5): steak was good, nothing special. The fries were really well done. We customized it to make them truffle fries. The server brought us out a birthday chocolate bar and it was pretty good too. Overall, Bouchon was a pleasant experience with solid food. It's a nice place to try at least once. read more

This was my first time in Yountville, California. I colleague recommended this place to try and it did not disappoint. This was my first time eating at a place like this. The service was excellent from the beginning to end. I was able to meet the top chef of the restaurant and he was super nice and caring to me and my colleagues. The food was excellent, everything was cooked very well and it was well seasoned. The scenario of this restaurant was very beautiful and this was really an experience everyone needs to experience. I definitely give this establishment a 5/5 rating in my book. Everything from the moment we got there and the moment we left the customer service was great and the food was even better. Do not get me started with the bakery they have right next door. I will 100% be back here and would recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more
