Bouchon Bistro, Yountville CA

An elegant brasserie respecting all the codes of a true French one, excellent food, great service and majestic atmosphere!

We stopped at a bakery shop and got takeout. It reminded me of when I traveled to Paris. The balance between each material is well thought out, and the fit is very good.

On the wish-list for five years, today I visit. Very impressed pastry, croissants tres bien

Second time coming here with my beloved wife. The food menu would change from time to time. Portions may appear small but I am telling you it will fill you up. Food are savory and for the price with a Michelin badge to back it up its very reasonable. Don’t forget to try the bakery as well. Go order online while your waiting for your food. Once your done in the resto walk next door and grab your pastry to go. You don’t have to fall in line. Menu with photos online guys efficiency in managing our precious time.

Most of the food was great. The deviled eggs, steak frites, french onion soup, and profiteroles were great. The creme brulee was burned and not redeemable.
The service was sub par, edit: beyond sub par - we were told the specials after we ordered. We had to ask to order food, the drinks we ordered took forever. We had reservations, we were seated and then asked to move to a different table. We complied with being moved after being seated, but even after that, the service was terrible. I wanted to love the experience at bouchon, but it was terrible. We had a hard time getting someone to take our order. We went 40 minutes between being seated and being able to flag someone down to take our drink and apps order.
The atmosphere was crowded and loud. The location needs some acoustic tile and some attention to acoustics.

The perfect French bistro that is not in France. The delicious food, busy atmosphere, and good service will bring us back the next time we go to Napa valley.

Food prepared to our expectations. Delicious and filling. Friendly, accommodating, and attentive service staff. It's a bit noisy atmosphere, but not terrible.

While planning for our Napa vacation, we knew we had to check out Bouchon in nearby Yountville. We made reservations a few weeks in advance without seeing a menu at all. Based on recommendations from others and the wonderful things we heard, we were eager to give it a try. The atmosphere, food, wine, and service were exceptional. Highly recommend.

Great spot for lunch, we really enjoyed almost everything we got here. Their mussels are a bit different from what we are used for (their sauce is more wine based vs cream based that we love), so it was a bit of an adjustment for us, but everything else was very tasty! I especially felt in love with their snails, those are truly otherworldly.

I love Yountville.
I've been to Bouchon in Las Vegas so I gave this one a try but it was louder and less tasty for some reason.
A lady from the table next to us said the exact opposite and said this place is better and quieter than Vegas Bouchon so idk what is correct haha
Food was too salty for us but their poached pear dessert was really good

Great food and ambiance for lunch and anytime. Reservations recommended. Worth the price if you like French cooking.

I had a salad Lyonnaise and steak frites. Excellent! The steak was very tender and flavorful and accompanied with crisp truffle fries. We also picked up some pastries and cookies at the bakery. Delightful!

Exceptional food and service, exactly what you'd expect from a TK restaurant. Seating is a bit tight given the size of restaurant. Also atmosphere is definitely closer to casual, at least during lunchtime. Highly recommend.

AMAZING food! Their complimentary bread and butter is the best around, and it’s served on the table like an authentic french restaurant. Everything served was a cacophony of flavors, from the green beans, to the gnocchi. Their mashed potatoes in particular are the definition of melt in your mouth, a must order! The service was very amiable and the restaurant ambiance was very cute and cozy. Great area around it with plenty of marketplaces and bakeries! Also close walking distance from Hotel Yountville.

First course (haricots vert and tomato salad) was superb. Main course (steak fries) was good, but some fries were soggy and steak was lukewarm (the pat of butter on top wouldn't even melt). Expected more based on past experience and the prices.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bouchon by chef Thomas Keller, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The food was simply outstanding, with each dish expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The chef's culinary skills were truly remarkable, leaving me in awe of their talent. Moreover, the customer service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made us feel like valued guests. Lastly, the ambiance of the restaurant was enchanting, with a beautifully curated design that created a warm and inviting atmosphere. From the elegant decor to the soft lighting, every detail was thoughtfully considered. Overall, Buchon Bistro is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

Little bang for your buck! Had Lyonesse salad and escargots which where ok, pate small and overwhelmed by strong mustard, very dissapointed with the lamb which was formed meat like in a sausage

I wasn't going to write a review but after still thinking about it much of this week I felt compelled. The way in which one of to the wait staff spoke to my mom and I on Saturday evening really took my breath away, and not in a good way. It was apparent they had an important ($$$) table outside that was their priority. I cant express how disappointing this experience was and how hurt I felt walking away from this restaurant.

Pretty rough, to be honest. We were one of the last seatings (8: 30). Place was packed when we got there, so took a while to get our drink orders. Fine.

The 45 min wait from apps to entrees was inexcusable. Apps were good (french onion soup) but it's got a pound of cheese on it, pretty hard to botch. The server claimed the kitchen initially overcooked the steak frites. When they finally arrived they were RARE (ordered medium rare). Edible, but barely.

Upon clearing the table, the server managed to drop ketchup onto one of our parties dresses.

They rightly comped the apps, but this is a skip. Michelin star be gone!
