| - My recent meal at Bouchon was mostly excellent, with great food and table service. My party started with cocktails, which were both subtly flavored and high quality, as expected. After a brief designated waiting period (the restaurant was half-empty), we were seated and attended to by our very good waiter. The menu here is traditional french, and we opted for a variety of dishes, ranging from simple trout amandine to luxurious steak diane (the special). We paired our food with a Cru Beaujolais recommended by our waiter (it was very good). The food was also quite good, although nothing blew me away.
Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal, and especially so with the table service. However, I'm not sure the experience added up to the outlay, which came to a cool hundred per head. For that kind of cash, I expect the ultimate, and Bouchon fell just shy of my favorite fine dining experiences for some reason.
