Had a great family dinner here last Friday night. Service was pleasant and attentive. The ambiance is red and red but done well in a French bistro feel. Appetizers were excellent especially the onion tart and brie - served differently than the usual American way. Dinners were great from steaks to fish. Gratuity was added in - not mentioned- and I added a big tip on top of that, so I am a bit disappointed in that. Hence, 4 stars not 5. Otherwise, a great evening. read more

Being a tourist on the road, it's so comforting to find a great spot to settle in, feel welcomed, and have a great meal. This was the place. The weather was beautiful for a lunch on the back patio. The service was casual but friendly. The food was great. We had the duck confit and the trout special. Would return! read more

On a day where every other restaurant in town was packed. The brasserie was empty. And no line to get in. Hard pass.

Ate dinner here on Friday 6/14. Not from the area and had seen a recommendation. I was greeted immediately by the owner; explained I was by myself and seated promptly. Food was excellent; service attentive. Nice mix in the menu as well as wines. I had the duck special; duck breast on to op an orange sauce served with haricot vert and mashed sweet potatoes . Delicious . Since it was 96 degrees out opted for the cold cucumber soup which was a nice touch. Desserts are very good !!! Crème brûlée! Restaurant is in an old house and has a nice ambiance . Service was great! read more

First of all, you cannot beat these prices. Everything was so affordable. Secondly, I have not had escargot as good as it was here in a long time. They were big, flavorful, and came with lots of garlic sauce to pair nicely with the bread. Our waiter was great, super attentive and patient. We got the steak au poivre, escargots, spatzle Mac n cheese, and the espagnole mussels. The Mac n cheese does get a little dry with time and could use a little boost of flavor and the mussels could use more wine and be less sweet, but this is me being picky. Everything all in all was delicious - the steak was so good I couldn't stop eating it even though I was so full!! The music was great and the quaint, intimate ambience added to the experience. read more

Cute brasserie in Cold Spring. Menu was an interesting mix of French bistro classics, together with other European classics. I love mussels and they had tons of options to choose from. Opted for the Espagnola version which came with chorizo. This was really good. The cassoulet was big and generous. Came with some duck, sausage etc. really good. It's hard to come by a great cassoulet but theirs was phenomenal. Overall the dishes were great value for money. Ambience was cute. Service was great. Definitely worth coming to if you're in.

What a cute little gem in Cold Spring! It looks tiny from the outside but they actually have lots of indoor seating and an adorable back patio/garden. We've been there twice now. The mussels are good, albeit small, and they have 5 different broths to choose from. My husband ordered the cassoulet which was unbelievable. We shared the most yummy escargot to start. Dessert and wine is also good! read more

Lunched here with my daughter and her boyfriend. We sat outside on the deck. It was lovely. The restaurant was very busy but all the folks we had contact with were friendly and happy. We started with the 3 cheese appetizer. The cheeses and bread were wonderful! I had the French martini. It was delicious! My meal was the lamb burger. It was as good as it sounded when it jumped off the menu at me. Jack had the steak sandwich which he thoroughly enjoyed. My daughter had the French onion soup with the Le Bouchon salad. She loved both. Recommend you try this place! read more

I come here almost every time I come to Cold Spring. Good is consistently very good. Service and atmosphere is nice.

We haven't been here in years but were pleasantly surprised at the spacious outdoor space in the back, the excellent service and very delicious food. Highly recommend! read more

Disappointing spot. The complimentary sourdough bread they serve before your food was perfect to whet your appetite. We enjoyed it so much we ended up getting four baskets! ...before we realized there was mold on it... So unfortunately, there ended up being two baskets of bread that had mold on it. That ended up killing the excitement for the food that we were waiting for. The goat cheese tart was decent. It was sharp and tangy. I didn't like that the accompanying greens was also very vinegary. The flavor felt overwhelming. The cassoulet was good. It had an abundant amount of beans and sausages. The Mac and cheese was the most unsatisfactory dish because it was so bland. It felt like there was no salt or seasoning. read more

Charming, retro French bistro with mediocre food. I had a nice, very rich onion tart to start, but the rest of the food was so-so, and the mussels I ordered were quite gritty. I ate a few and sent the rest back; the server took it off our bill, which I appreciated. My husband's steak was small and very over cooked. He asked for medium-rare and it wasn't at all pink. For what it's worth, I overheard a few tables around us also expressing disappointment with their orders. read more

Great bistro with outdoor patio and classic menu. Frisée salad was excellent, runny egg, crispy lardons, classic. Lamb burger was juicy, soft and served medium rare, another win. Glass of Cote de Rhône was solid, bottled beers a plenty to choose from. Friendly staff and modest wait for food make this a solid recommendation. read more

I'm not gonna say much except the experience was pretty mediocre at best. Server was good. The inside was pretty dated and I began noticing a few issues with cleanliness. There was dust literally everywhere! Glasses had dishwater stains on them. The biggest issue was flies all over the place! It was impossible to enjoy the food because my friend and I had kept swatting them every single minute! Now, the food was mediocre. Chicken was dry. The prices...absurd! More expensive than in Manhattan, smh read more

Good food. We tried the onion soup, which my boyfriend said it was pretty great (8/10). I tried the charcuterie plate which lacked cheese but overall delicious. The steak frites was also good. I wasn't a big fan of the mac and cheese. Great wine list and good martini. Service was quick but at one point once the mains were delivered they forgot about us for a bit. We sat outside, which was a bit chilly but a great time. It was funny to use the lanterns to read the menu. Super recommend to try it out after a hike. Great food and great service. read more

I came here on a busy Sunday with my husband and small child. The front entrance to the restaurant wasn't obvious, nor was it obvious where to wait to be seated (a sign could fix that). I kept misunderstanding the host's directions but rather than kindly correcting me, he kept making rude, snarky remarks in a very condescending way. One would think a host of a busy restaurant would know how to kindly deal with frazzled customers. While the outdoor seating was nice, food was fairly good, and our waiter was nice and attentive despite slow service, I still couldn't get over that initial interaction. We stayed because every other restaurant looked like it had a line, but won't be coming back. read more

We were hungry, and love French food. There was a short wait for tables, and then we were seated inside this charming restaurant. I was tempted by the lamb burger, but had the Croque Monsieur instead. It was a rather a different take--a piece of ham and a piece of cheese were on top of a large, eggy slice of bread. Interesting. Not the usual Croque Monsieur. My mother had goat cheese tartelettes, which she loved. My French fries, alas, did not make the cut. They were crispy, but oddly dry and tasteless. I saved lots of calories and carbs by not eating them. Service was pleasant and cheerful. It did take quite a long while to get our coffee, but when it arrived, it was from a fresh pot and delicious. We had to ask for more cream, but it arrived promptly. The vibe is bustling and European. The crowd seemed well-dressed and mostly young. read more

We pass by this area all the time to go hiking and heard about this cute little French restaurant so decided to try on a weekend. Did not make a reservation and was seated immediately. There were street parking outside and usually should not be an issue. The restaurant is small and cozy, tables are fairly close together, but doesn't feel too crowded. Our server was very nice and happy and was very helpful with the menu. We got a few classic French dishes like onion soup, foie gras, mac&cheese, etc. Everything turned out great. This is obviously not your 3 Michelin star French restaurant, more like an everyday family type French restaurant. We left the restaurant feeling satisfied and would definitely come again. Price-wise, it was very reasonable, only one of our dishes was over $20, you will definitely get great food for what you pay. read more

Poor service, poor environment. The waiter was literally trying to catch a bug before handling food. read more

The food was good. My complaint is completely about the service, or lack of service I experienced. As an older woman, I was totally ignored. Part of my order was missing. When I reminded two different waiters neither once came back with my drink. The table next to me made several requests and got all of their food, drinks and dessert in a very speedy fashion. No one refilled my warm glass of tap water ( it is 90 degrees outside) no one came to check on me and no one offered coffee or dessert. I think this is ageism at its worst. I was very pleasant to the wait staff and did not make a scene, although I was very angry and insulted. read more

Enjoyed a nice lunch with my wife in the lovely outdoor garden in back. We started with the delicious Flamenkuche flatbread, a unique take on flatbread that we hadn't ever tasted before. It was delicious. My wife had the mussels and I had the lamb burger. Both were excellent. The wait staff was top notch! Looking forward to going back again. read more

There was a long time waiting outside so we decided to check this place out. There was a lot of people here so there was a nice white noise in the background. Service however, was really slow. I had to asked 3 times before the waiter finally got me my hot sauce. The Baked Brie basically tasted like a sandwich with ham, egg and cheese. French Onion Soup was my friends go to order but personally I couldn't understand the hype of it. There is a 3.75% non cash price. Their system does not take debit cards so you can either pay in cash or credit cards, heads up! read more

Came here because one of the reviews said they had the best French onion soup. Unfortunately I felt the opposite. This was one of the worst soups I've ever had. My local diner French onion soup is better and that's not saying much. I also got the arugula and goat cheese salad which was only ok. Nothing special. Service was also just meh. I think I'd skip this place if I go back read more

Everything! The food, service, ambiance. I make the trip by metro north twice a year for their roast chicken.

Cozy, laid back atmosphere. Food is all phenomenal. The duck confit was the crispiest I've ever come across!

Lovely little place in Cold Springs with a cute outdoor eating area We tried a few different muscle flavors which were pretty flavorless and the onion soup was good, don't get me wrong but it was pretty run of the mill Steak sandwiches also got a 3 out of 5 Service was pleasant, not rushed and not a bad place to lunch read more

Omg! We have been coming here since it opened, and this restaurant has never disappointed. Even my French relatives from Montreal thought it wonderful! Yesterday, we went there for my birthday lunch...midweek! My husband had the lobster and seafood special which was amazing, and I had the steak frites...cooked perfectly both! We both had a heft pour of wine, and for dessert, we had the cheesecake and the mousse. The presentation of the dishes and the restaurant's ambience brought us back to Paris or Montreal! We will continue to go to le bouchon. read more

I really wanted to like this place more, but it missed the mark in a few key ways. The interior is charming with red walls. There is also a little bit of outdoor seating on the porch area in the front, as well as a garden in the back. My friends and I sat indoors, as there was no available outdoor seating. For my dinner, I decided to order the Le Bouchon Steak Frite, and I asked for it to be cooked well done. The black iron flank steak came quite burnt, along with garlic butter on top. While I love my meat to be crisp, the steak was completely overdone, making it really dry and difficult to eat. The garlic butter also tasted off to me, somehow. I did enjoy the homemade fries, which were perfectly crunchy, full of potato goodness, and very addicting. Despite how my steak was made, I know that this restaurant can do better, because I was able to taste my friends' Steak Au Poivre, which was delicious! This particular steak was cooked medium, pepper crusted, pan seared, and coated with well seasoned, savory pepper cognac sauce. It was tender, juicy, succulent, with strong pepper taste. I was considering ordering this as well, which I would have been much happier with. The dessert special was Molten Chocolate Cake with vanilla ice cream. Of course I asked for chocolate ice cream instead. This came with fresh raspberries, as well as raspberry sauce underneath the cake, along with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. First of all, the scoop of chocolate ice cream was tiny. The cake was medium in size, and while it was moist with rich, chocolate flavor, there wasn't much molten filling. I found this to be truly disappointing. It made me upset that I spent $12 or more on dessert, when I should have just saved my money for ice cream at one of the shops nearby. Service was wonderful, until the end of the meal. Our waiter was so friendly, on top of it, and seemed to know the menu well. However, it took awhile to get the check and pay. As I was not satisfied with the food, I definitely would not return. read more

Nice little French spot in downtown Cold Springs - perfect to recharge after going on a hike! We ordered the Escargot ($16), the Lamb Burger ($24), the Steak Tartare ($26) and two bottles of white wine ($38 and $39). There are some tables out front and a backyard for outdoor seating (as well as inside). I think for the price of the food, the quality does not match. The Lamb Burger, which was good but comes with frozen fries, could have been priced at $5 cheaper for it to be fair. The Steak Tartare was supposed to be a main but felt more like an appetizer; same opinion as the burger - the dish was priced higher than it should have been for the quality and amount of food. Also not sure why they gave ketchup on the side of the steak tartare (we are in America after all haha). The escargot were snails from a can and disguised in a ton of butter/garlic/oil. The bottles of wine were also marked up - a $12.99 bottle on the menu for $38. We asked for more bread and the server forgot until I heard him remember 20 minutes later. Overall this spot was okay, but surprised our meal was $205 with tip for what we ate/drank. read more

Back after 5 years! Was driving down from a meeting and decided to take a detour, and I'm glad I did. I forgot how special this place is!! Met a delightful group of young women and talked about Poland and party balloons! What a wide ranging conversation. Jesse my waiter comes right over and I order a glass of Bordeaux. Wow really nice and smooth He recommends the pork pate. Which I just do good. Delicious in fact! With baby Gurkha pickles. Ummmmm For the entree I get the chicken cordon blue It's crispy moist and stuffed, of course, with delicious ham! Side ordered Brussels sprouts. Sautéed and amazing! What an amazing meal folks! I'm glad I remembered this place. Will be back soon! read more

Awesome place ! Amazing service, and delicious food. We were pleasantly surprised. We had a large party 6 people and ordered apps like escargot, pâté, French onion soup, leek soup, and the burrata salad with beets... Some entrees that were orders was the croque monsier, mussels, the special chicken leg, steak frites, and salad. I highly recommend eating here if you want good food, good service and a nice cozy ambiance. ** The only dish that I felt could have been better was the French onion soup. read more

The wait was long and we were continually being told that our table would be ready "shortly" or that the table was going to be reset because the customers were going to the restroom. Other than that, it was a good experience. The servers were quick to take our order and the food came in a reasonable time. I ordered the half roasted chicken and it was just delicious. It was moist and the sauce that it came with was divine. The escargot was very good as well. It would be best to return during off-peak hours. read more

The worst pulled chicken sandwich in history. Service was awesome. Lamb burger good. Mike is the man

I thought I was being punk'd with this service! I cancelled a high end restaurant reservation after reading the reviews for Brasserie Le Bouchon and having it across the street from our Bed & Breakfast. What a mistake. We walk in past a thick curtain and was told we can sit anywhere. We scan the menu and my wife would like a glass of Rose and I would like a French beer. 5 minutes go by and our waiter comes back and asked us what we'd like to drink? I said do you remember a glass of Rose and a French beer? 5 minutes go by and another waiter comes to our table, what would you like to drink?? I said what the hell and our drinks come to us two minutes later. I asked for a French Onion Soup, two lamb burgers and a pot of mussels. My wife asked if we can substitute the fries? Perhaps green beans? Not a problem ma'am. Now I'm hearing kitchen chatter, 20 year olds dropping F bombs as well as the loudest damn cordless phone?! The French Onion Soup? Pretty good, no complaints here as well as the mussels. My beer is glass is now empty but I'm not going to chase down the waiter. The burgers come out and they're loaded with French Fries. I laugh at this point. Now the green beans come out. My wife says to the waiter we didn't want all these fries! Not to worry ma'am, you won't be charged extra. Sure am thirsty for another beer! Our burgers? Raw in the middle. I'm done with this stupid ass place. My wife was a trooper, she grabbed one of the waiters and asked to have her burger reheated. They came back with a brand new, properly cooked lamb burger. One of the waiters looked at my plate, never asked about my burger or how about another drink? What am I, on the pay no mind list? Brasserie Le Douches? Never again. read more

My husband and I came here for lunch last weekend and had a very pleasant outdoor dining experience. It was a beautiful Saturday and the wait for a table was about 30-35 minutes. There is a garden in the back with some flowers and a fountain with tables spaced nicely apart. They are definitely trying to make the outdoor experience enjoyable. They have a few tables on their front porch, but I would hold out for the backyard dining, so people aren't constantly walking past you. We ordered the Steak au Poivre and the Wild Mushroom Ravioli. Both entrees were delicious French Fare. The meal was preceded with some complimentary bread and oil. Our servers were friendly and efficient. They were all wearing masks and tables were sanitized between guests. read more
