Bouchon is one of those places that everyone hypes up and says is amazing but sometimes its not that great.
Came here for dinner because we watched Phantom of the Opera and there was a coupon to 25% off Bouchon. We decided to eat here before heading to the airport. We started off with a salad it was decent but it was a heirloom tomato salad. They dont joke around with the tomatoes because it had some big ones in there.
As for entrees the best one was the day boat scallops. It was so tender and not at all overcooked. It also didn't smell like the ocean so that was good. My other sister tried the steak, she said it was decent but not the best steak ever. I opted for the fish of the day, i forgot what it was, But i can say it was pretty decent. There was a good amount of flavor but its not as if i wouldnt be able to make it at home.
The most disappointing part was dessert. The server said it was a apple tartine on a puff pastry. WRONG, when we got it, it was an apple tartine on a shortbread. We were pretty disappointed because we thought it was coming with the puff pastry. We didn't complain about it and just ate it because we were in a hurry. The apples were soft, tender, sweet and cinnamony! i really liked it but the shortbread was so hard to get through we just ate everything but that.
I'd maybe consider coming back here but maybe not for dinner? I would possibly try for brunch and see how it is.
