Bouillon Bilk is a perfect example of why I use Yelp. I never would have found this place otherwise. It's a French restaurant hole-in-the-wall located in a not-so-nice neighborhood but it is a hidden gem. Everything else on the street was closed but when we walked into this place on a weeknight it was packed.
Somehow we were seated quickly and given menus. The menu was extremely short which allowed the waitress to go through each item individually and describe what they were. We asked if they could recommend a couple of bottles of wine and she advised us to wait until we had ordered our food so that she could pair the wine with what we ordered.
I got the venison which was a first for me. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. The wine that she paired with it was an excellent selection. Later in the evening we wanted a second bottle and they actually sent over the person responsible for selecting all of the restaurant's wine. His knowledge was unbelievable as he not only told us about the flavors of the different options, he also gave us a really interesting history of the different wine makers.
We stayed for dessert and shared a cheese platter and a carrot cake. Both were excellent. I would definitely return here again.
