I've been here for both brunch and dinner and given the financial means, I'll continue to go back.\n\nBrunch was absolutely delightful. I love the natural sunlight that bathes the restaurant and view looking out towards the Venezia pools. They have really good coffee, which is a staple in a brunch place. We ordered beignets with nutella and homemade blackberry jam. I ordered the Gravlax, a fresh and light DIY plate. While you can get this dish at a lot of other brunch places, it was really refreshing and I wanted something light since I didn't want to hate my life after a heavy brunch. \nSide note: I would highly recommend NOT ordering drinks for brunch. My mimosa was $12.50, average, and in retrospect not really worth it. Stick with the food people.\nSide side note: I couldn't find the infamous chicken & waffles on the menu. Unless I'm blind, it may be a special. Next time, I'll definitely ask.\n\nMy dinner experience was a few months back with a group of 8. Our server, bless his heart I can't remember his name, was outstanding and exceptionally professional, helpful, and informative. He was the epitome of what service in a restaurant owned by a James Beard award winning chef should be. The foie gras special was possibly the best I've ever had and still makes my mouth water thinking about it. I had the poulet roti. My chicken was juicy, moist, flavorful, and just wonderfully delicious.\n\nGo to Bouchon. Go for brunch. Go for date night. Go for a business dinner. Go alone. Just go."^^ .
