    Kumamoto oysters
    Jo C.

    We were able to make last minute reservations on Rest for Bouchon for lunch. They have about 10 parking stalls next to the restaurant or you can easily park across the street in the other parking lot. Service here is Top notch everyone was very professional and friendly. Its an amazing touch that our server spoke French. Great place for families, girls dining or date place. Interior seating is a little tight because it was busy but a great place to people watch. They had 3 types of oysters on special and we got the Kumamotos. They were delicious and fresh. We also had the steak frites and escargot, and cream brulee for dessert. Everything was delicious the steak was cooked perfectly and served with a generous portion of fries. The escargot has a pastry top and it was delicious as well perfect amount of garlic and butter. Overall great dining experience in Yountville.

    Totally worth the hype. Love the bustling atmosphere at dinner service, people seemed to really enjoy themselves. I think the wine helps. Loved the bistro classics. Service was efficient and friendly, and a little no nonsense which I liked. We had: Cheese plate - Excellent. We had this as an appetizer because why not Steak frites - Freakin delicious Mussels - Get this! Mussels were super soft and tender. They know what they're doing

    Wonderful Brunch for Mothers Day! The Food was Magnificent and Artfully done as Always. The Service was Impeccable and the Ambiance Perfect. Always a Great Experience Thank you

    Baguette
    Stacy S.

    I'm so sad about our experience at Bouchon. Being a Thomas Keller restaurant with pricing that clearly reflects this, our expectations were high. The wine by the glass list was pretty small, which is shocking for being Napa adjacent. The shrimp and baguette were the best bites of the night. The baguette was fresh and soft and the shrimp were clearly high quality. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal fell flat. The gnudi lacked flavor and the steak was just ok. I never mind dropping money on great dinner, but to walk out with a 500 dollar bill and such an underwhelming experience was sad. Not to mention, the restaurant was SO hot. My husband and I repeatedly mentioned how hot we were, needing to step outside more than once to cool down. The net of It is that with the Thomas Keller name at these prices the expectations were much higher.

    Must order the steak.

    It's been over a decade since I rated Bouchon but rest assured not a year passes that I don't find myself drawn to this Yountville classic. Talk about the test of time. The kitchen continues to deliver consistently great food and the flavors are always spot on. The salmon Rillettes is my goto with a glass of bubbles or an expertly made cocktail. The steak frites never disappoints (but they have cut down the amount of fries they serve at least that's what my pics over the years show). What I most enjoy is the incredible staff, they are the special seasoning and why I return. Thank you for all you do to make our meal and time so much fun.

    The decor is charming and intimate. The noise level sharply increases as the restaurant fills. The food is good but not sure it's commiserate with the steep prices.

    Bouchon has lived up to the hype ! We visited Bouchon on a Saturday night (make reservations weeks in advance!) I made note that it was our anniversary on the reservation and also that I had a nut allergy. We were quickly seated when we got to the restaurant and was also given a card and complimentary champagne which was nice. It is definitely very crowded inside and you are right next to the people around you - but overall didn't affect my experience too much, except when I had to use the restroom. We were quickly greeted by our server who noted that I had a nut allergy and already alerted the kitchen. This small gesture meant so much to me and I was taken aback that he read the notes (since I usually need to remind the server while ordering my food). We went straight to ordering the main appetizers since they gave us bread and I wanted to save room for dessert:) I ordered the steak & frites and my bf ordered the scallops dish (special menu item). They both came out quickly and were so tasty! The fries were crispy and the steak was so tender and the butter on top was seasoned perfectly. The scallops were also tasty, cooked well and the sauce was perfectly paired. Our waters were always filled and the employees ensured that we were taken care of throughout the night. For dessert we got 3 of the 4 items. The desserts came out quickly as well and were all delicious! I highly recommend the profiteroles that came with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce - a perfect way to end a meal! Overall, I would love to come back and dine at Bouchon for my special occasions as I felt so taken care of and the food was so delicious !

    Call it birthday luck, but my friend and I were able to get a table on a packed night and had a wonderful meal. The Joly Select oysters were some of the best I've had, and the rosé of Pinot Noir by the glass paired perfectly. The rainbow trout was beautifully done, and the escargot was buttery and fresh. The only thing I'd order differently next time is the steak frites. It was fine, but everything else stood out more, and I'd go for the mussels instead. The room is lively with beautiful wood interiors and can get a bit loud, but it didn't take away from the experience. I'll definitely be back, and I'd love to make this a birthday tradition.

    This is a classic - if you come to Napa/Yountville! They start with the bread and home made butter - it just hits the spot! The gnocchi is so yummy and decadent! The salmon tartare was ok - the saffron mussels were very yummy. We didn't have enough space in our yummy left for dessert :) The servers were very friendly and attentive. The ambiance is very cozy. Always good to get reservations.

    My wife and I were excited to return to Bouchon after our last visit over a year ago. Service was amazing, ambiance is "french" crowded and the food lived up to the hype. We requested a patio table with a heater nearby so it was perfect. Loved the Chicken, mussels, and salad. Chardonnay selection was full of high end wines. We choose the Kistler and at $195 it was one of the least expensive chardonnay choices. Bread and butter - YUM!

    Alexis H.

    This is one of our favorite stops when we visit the Napa Valley. Everything here is delicious but our favorites and definite recommendations would be the almond croissant, Kouign-amann, oh-oh (their take on a Ho-Ho but WAY better), and a traditional baguette. If there is a line, just be patient because the cafe is small but the staff are fast. Such a nice little treat before wine tasting! Also, get a baguette and keep it in the car to snack on while wine tasting! You'll thank me later!

    Moules au Safran ($45)
    Jane W.

    I had a lovely lunch at Bouchon with my parents. While not all the dishes we tried were exemplary, some were truly standout. The meal began with some warm, complimentary bread, accompanied by butter and mustard. We then ordered the Laitue ($18; bibb lettuce, garden herbs, house vinaigrette), ouefs mimosa ($8.50; four deviled eggs), soupe a l'oignon ($26; caramelized sweet onions with beef jus, country bread, and comte cheese), moules au safran ($45; Maine bouchot mussels steamed with white wine, Dijon mustard, and saffron, served with French fries), Gnocchi a la Parisienne ($29; sauteed gnocchi with winter vegetables), and a side of haricots verts ($12). The mussels were the star of the show - amazingly tender and flavorful (in fact, they're the best I've ever had). I also loved the Laitue salad - very simple, but the lettuce was very soft and the vinaigrette was delicious. My least favorite dish was probably the gnocchi; it was still well done, but the gnocchi was a little too mushy for my liking. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant was intimate and cozy but bustling. There is a free parking lot adjacent to the restaurant, and we were lucky enough to find a spot. However, spots were quite limited, and you may end up circling the area a bit before you find parking. Overall recommend a visit!

    Crème brulee
    Camila Y.

    This place is good, but you definitely need a reservation. It's pretty packed and small inside, which is probably why walk-ins only get bar seating. There's patio seating, but in the winter it gets cold but they have heaters. They give complimentary bread to start off with. Mussels and onion soup were my favorite. The mussel broth was especially good. The size of the clams in the seafood section were kind of small but still sweet. The beef tartare was just okay. The crème brûlée with vanilla bean custard was great, not too sweet but still creamy and a good caramelized top. Bouchon Bakery is also next door so you can get some pastries or bread there. Overall, good food and a nice experience, just be sure to make a reservation.

    Does this Bouchon Bistro have that foie gras terrine? I can't see it on the menu in the Bouchon Bistro in Yountville.

    They did not have it when I went there a few months ago.

    Are dogs allowed in the outdoor seating area?

    Yes! It's a bit tight but when we were with our Shiba, almost every outdoor seating had a dog.

    Can you accommodate a lunch celebration (wife's 60th Birthday and 35th Wedding Anniversary) of 20 guests? Do you have a private area for this celebration? Menu choices? I posted an inquiry on the website since 4/14 and no response.

    I'd call Thomas Keller Restaurant Group # in Yountville, CA

    I have a vegetarian friend coming with me. Are there any good options for this person?

    Yes, Bouchon has seafood and salad options. I'd call or email Bouchon to see what they're offering.

    Do they have walk in for lunch at the bar? Or does every seat accounted for via rsvp?

    Is the Tartare de Saumon made from fresh or smoked salmon?

    Fresh Salmon!

    Does anyone have a picture of the wine list by the bottle?

    Available on their website!

    Are online reservations released on a weekly basis? I don't see any availability starting the 2nd week of November and on.

    We were just there last night for an amazing dinner and asked them about November... they are currently re-working the seating configurations but will load reservations soon they said.

    When will you reopen?

    They are open both indoor and outdoor.

    Will brunch be available New Year's Day?

    They are taking reservations via Opentable for New Year's Day at brunch time (1PM).

    How much is corkage?

    $35

    Is there a kids menu?

    I’m not sure— I do not believe so

    They're out of reservations this Sunday 11am- what are the chances of getting a table for 5 just walking in? How long the average wait for this time?

    Sadly, very slim. They fill up for Sunday brunch usually weeks in advance. Getting a table for 5, even waiting, seems unlikely to me.

    How much was the shaved truffle on top of the dishes?

    I think I got a half order and it was $25 extra.

    Outside seating, courtyard or inside forSunday brunch?

    Inside if really hot. Otherwise outside is nice.

    We wholeheartedly agree with every positive comment in Brooke's previous reviews! She made our…read moreentire wedding day flow effortlessly from start to finish. We found Brooke by searching for wedding planners that had worked with our venue (Timber Cove Resort) before. Having worked there before, it was a huge plus that she already knew the coordinators and had cultivated relationships with trusted vendors who were familiar with the property. This insider knowledge made our planning process very smooth. We decided to go with the partial planning package, which fit our needs well. Early in the planning process, we'd spend time researching vendors on our own as well as ask Brooke for her recommendations, then reach out to the vendors on both of our lists. We found ourselves choosing her suggestions almost every time. Her industry experience and keen eye for quality vendors became obvious very quickly, yet she never made us feel pressured to go with any particular choice. She simply provided excellent options and let us make the decisions. Throughout the entire process, Brooke was incredibly mindful of our budget. In our very first meeting, she showed us a detailed budget from a previous wedding she did at our venue and walked us through each line item, pointing out areas where we might want to allocate more or less based on our priorities. This level of transparency and attention to detail immediately gave us confidence in her approach. Her communication style was exactly what we needed. We often sent her emails late at night, and Brooke would consistently respond first thing the next morning with clear, comprehensive answers. There was not a single time that she didn't address a concern in one of our emails, even when we sent her massive lists. She was also always proactive about letting us know when she'd be on vacation well in advance, allowing us to plan our questions and timeline accordingly. Brooke's flexibility was another standout quality. While our contract only covered the wedding day itself, we had planned a Welcome Dinner the night before and a Farewell Brunch the day after that we intended to handle ourselves. Unlike other planners we'd heard about from our friends who strictly limit their involvement to contracted days (which is understandable), Brooke was incredibly supportive when questions came up about these additional events. She went above and beyond by helping us order linens from the rental company and create layouts for these extra events. Not to say that future clients should expect this kind of support for non-contracted events by any means, but we were grateful for her willingness to lend a helping hand with the extra details that made our entire wedding weekend cohesive and stress-free. When our wedding day arrived, everything ran flawlessly! Even when we had a last-minute request to move our toasts indoors due to wind and chilly weather, Brooke handled it seamlessly without missing a beat. We can't imagine having planned our wedding without Brooke. Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for our vision made what could have been an overwhelming process both enjoyable and successful. We truly couldn't think of anything negative when she asked for our feedback after the wedding. We absolutely recommend her without reservation!

    I cannot imagine a more competent, experienced, professional, and kind wedding planner than Brooke…read moreGustafson of Orchard Avenue Events. She truly pulled out all the stops to create the most magical, heavenly day of my life! My husband and I were in awe and so impressed by her, especially since we are pretty detail oriented ourselves. Brooke is even more so, and genuinely cared that our wedding day was perfectly executed from start to finish. She is prompt when responding to emails and texts and is always on time. In addition, her extensive industry experience is obvious and came in handy time and time again as we navigated the complicated wedding planning process. It is important to note that she is also very kind, understanding, and hard working, so I never once felt uncomfortable asking her questions or for tasks to be done. Brooke knew how much I cared about the look and feel of our wedding being just right, and she completely blew me out of the water - so much so that I cried for the first time before walking down the aisle when she gave me a sneak peak of the reception hall. And on my wedding night, Brooke provided all of my bridesmaids flip flops and even went back to our hotel to grab the flats I left behind so that we could dance the night away! She is so special and a true artist. Without a doubt - there is no one else you should hire for your wedding planner - Brooke is the one! (Nicole and Nicholas Errico - Sonoma Golf Club - 6/3/23)

The wine is great, but is clear that Chandon is more interested in their club membership than the experience. The second we finished our tasting experience, the entire thing shifted from "taste our wine" to "buy into our wine club". It was a sudden, very jarring change. I have had better experiences with pushy time share sellers than Chandon salespeople. At least with them, I get a gift card, park tickets or a hotel stay. I got. Nothing from Chandon. Chamdon will always be my favorite wine, but for a sparkling experience, I am going to find another winery to visit or go attend a timeshare presentation where at least I get something for sitting through the annoying sales presentation.

They used to have a chocolate mouse crème brûlée that was to die for along with other very impressive selections.
