First off the service was amazing. Our waiter made fantastic suggestions and joked around with us. He made the meal just that much better.
I honestly adored the way they bring out the fresh baguette and simply place it on the table. I've never been to France but in my vision of a small cafe, this how they would do it.
They had introduced a new menu about a week before we arrived, probably gearing up for fall, which doesn't show it's face around Vegas.
While we waited to be seated we watched the chef's prepare the raw bar. It was amazing to watch how much lobster flew out of this place.
Naturally , after seeing everyone else indulging in the raw bar we ordered oysters. Unfortunately they did not impress us.
We also ordered the olives, they were completely amazing. Do yourself a favor and order them.
My parents ordered a salad- Salade Frisée aux Lardons et Oeuf Poch
frisée lettuce, fines herbs, bacon lardons, a soft poached hen egg & toasted brioche. I was utterly jealous. This looked and sounded amazing. This made me wish I went back to eating meat for the night.
My mom and I both intended on ordering the gnocchi. I sat back and wondered what the hell we were doing at Bouchon eating gnocchi, so at the last minute and with the encouragement of our waiter we changed our minds.
I ordered the mussels and frites and was promptly told that if I was going to eat seafood I needed to get the trout. My response? Really trout? I grew up eating trout, ok here goes nothing. It was amazing. I just can't eat a lot of fish because I'm not used to eating it, but I'm happy I tried it. It made me appreciate trout in a new light.
My mom ordered Poulet Rôti, roasted chicken with quince,charred radicchio & truffle emulsion. She was very happy she ordered this dish. The chicken just melted in your mouth, well according to her. This dish also made me wish I ate meat.
My dad decided to order to appetizers as his entree because he couldn't choose between them and nothing stood out too much as an entree. Veau Braisé en Crépinette, braised veal tail with forest mushrooms, soft polenta & sherry vinaigrette. And Confit de Canard, duck leg confit, French green lentils, matignon of root vegetables & red wine duck jus. Once again I cannot comment because I do not eat meat.
I think the fact that I expected so much because all I heard about was Bouchon it did not live up to my expectations. It was really good, but nothing about it really knocked my socks off especially for the price.
If I were in Vegas I would try Bouchon for brunch, but I don't think I'd ever go back for dinner.
