| - Made a re-debut at this place with my Jamie M. in late August to show her just how good Bouchon takes care of you. We made an appointment and this time had a coupon for 25% off which was amazing.
My advice is to make a reservation, not because of a wait time, but because, its a great feeling to sit in the corner tables, and not in the middle, simply because its just more comfortable. They, of course, start bringing you the bread I mentioned in my last review. One nuance I noticed was the bread man was very serious about his table-setting, table-clearing and general discourse in the provision of services. He'd bring bread and have this focused look on his face. I'm always watching people working in restaurants to figure out what their work environment is like. He seemed tense and even perturbed when the main waiter brought us bread but didn't put it on the correct side of our place mats. He gave him a condescending glance after he cleared crumbs from the table with a little metal scooper object. Haha! Co-worker drama at a high end restaurant! But only because he wanted things to be perfect, and I respect the level of artistry put into anything in this life.
We had oysters and after I had a fish plate and she had something I can't remember. The surroundings, the service and beating the rush made this another unforgettable experience. Thanks to the coupon, it felt like our tip was comped, so you can probably see how much it might have costed with a 25% coupon. So worth it.
