We had a fantastic experience at Le Bilboquet and honestly walked away wondering why there are so many negative reviews. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding, and they treated us like regulars and made us feel genuinely welcomed. They even gave us a beautiful table in the courtyard, which set the tone for a great night. The food was excellent across the board. The chicken was a standout--and the desserts were just as impressive. Everything felt well-executed and thoughtfully presented. I'll admit, we were a bit hesitant to go given some of the negative reviews, but I'm really glad we decided to give it a shot. It completely exceeded expectations. We'll definitely be adding Le Bilboquet to our regular Saturday night date night rotation. read more

Service was exceptional and the food quality and presentation was excellent. Looking forward to returning in the fall.

Not sure why there are such low reviews. I love coming to Le Bilboquet! We celebrated a double birthday here and definitely made some incredible memories having dinner here. The ambience takes me back to France and the Mediterranean. Everyone is always dressed nicely and its not too loud inside. We made a reservation a few weeks in advance and were seated immediately. The service was quick and easy. All of the staff are so kind. The Cajun Chicken is just so incredible. I love it and have to have it every time. We also got the vegetarian crepe. It had a nice smokey flavor to it and the crepe is made with chickpea flour. For starters we got the bread basket, artichoke, and the tomato salad. All so delicious in their own way! Overall, love this spot. Don't let the bad reviews fool you! read more

Le Bilboquet hits different -- bougie but with serious flavor. The Cajun poulet? Don't let the fancy name fool you -- it's straight fire. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, with crispy fries that honestly deserve their own spotlight. I've had it three times and still dream about it. The seafood tower is next level -- oysters, lobster, shrimp, all super fresh and ice cold like they just pulled it out of the ocean five minutes ago. Yes, it's a scene. Yes, you'll probably spot someone in sunglasses indoors. But the food slaps, the service is tight, and the vibe is French Riviera meets South Beach flex. read more

Amazing food and service!! Great ambiance and loved everything we ordered for lunch. Will be back!!

I thought it was great but I just came for a light bite and cocktails. All of the staff members were attentive and helpful, and everyone looked like models. I didn't have any service issues at all like previous reviewers did but I wasn't there for dinner. It's a very cool and stylish vibe with a pleasant ambience inside and outside. A bit minimalistic but I'm a pleasing aesthetic way. It's very expensive but I think most places like this in the heart of Palm Beach are so not much of a surprise. read more

Had dinner at Le Bilboquet and everything hit the spot. We sat outside on a beautiful night, which made the whole experience even better. Started with the tuna crudo--super fresh and light--then had the salmon and the prime New York steak frites. Both were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Finished off with the profiteroles for dessert--light, crisp, and the perfect sweet ending. Great atmosphere, great service. Solid pick for a nice night out. read more

Le Bilboquet is a beautiful restaurant with great decor, and warm friendly service... but the food was sadly lacking. I tried a new appetizer which was their pate, it was uninspired and plated in the most sad way... thankfully I was able to move on to the chicken which was a tad salty, but pretty decent....its a place for a good cocktail and to be seen, but definitely not tasted. Le Bil-meh-quet it is... come for a drink.. dont stay for the food. read more

I came here for my birthday dinner because I love the Le Bilboquet in Atlanta. However, I was not impressed by the Palm Beach location. The restaurant was extremely muggy inside -- felt like the air conditioning was broken, but when we asked, our waitress said it was working just fine. The service was disappointing -- our waitress was nice, but was very inattentive; I ended up pouring wine for the table. The food was good, but the dishes are overpriced. The Les Moules Marinières et Frites were very good, and the Le Poulet Cajun was also pretty good. The Le Vacherin for dessert was very disappointing -- the entire dessert was rock hard. On the plus side, there is complimentary valet. read more

Just had dinner there this evening for the first time What a disappointment Waiter had no idea what he was talking about Had lamb chops He said 4-5. Only 2 came. Asked for Med rare came out well done. So thin no meat Never apologized after I told him Needed extra gravy. Huge disappointment for so much money read more

Loved this restaurant, food was amazing and overall atmosphere very nice I love French cuisine and will be back read more

Why I'll go back: An atmosphere of Palm Beach trendy infused with NYC and European energy makes for a great dinner experience You HAVE to order: One of the soups - there is at least one hot and one cold "soup du jour." We've had three different ones and they were all absolutely delicious. Tony's Tip: Request a table inside. The courtyard is nice, but the scene is inside, and with Palm Beach's somewhat unpredictable weather, you want to avoid getting caught in a flash downpour (we've seen it on our last two visits). We've been to Le Bil three times for dinner (and once more a cocktail at the bar). The restaurant itself is not actually that big, but the electricity of the place is unrivaled in Palm Beach. This last visit was definitely our best: the food was phenomenal, service was professional and energetic, and drinks, apps, and entrees were spaced perfectly. Seriously, we've enjoyed practically everything we've ordered. Appetizer standouts for us are the Crab Avocado salad, Burrata (with snap peas!), and the soups. For entrees, I had the Veal Citron this latest time and it was tender with a robust and flavorful broth. My wife has had the lobster curry dish the last two visits - safe to say she's addicted now! The single misstep I've had here was a steak that was cooked medium well when I had requested medium rare. Maybe it was written down wrong, or delivered to the wrong table. Shame on me for not checking it and requesting a "do over" (I think I was tired and too hungry to wait another 15-20 minutes). To be candid, from cocktails to entrees, prices here are as high as you'll find anywhere on the island. But you're in Palm Beach, and places like Le Bil know they have to "bring it" or they won't survive. So despite what might be a hefty bill, you'll love the whole experience and leave knowing you did dinner right! read more

Tucked away in a cute little alley is this gem. We went on a Saturday 15 minutes before our reservation and were seated immediately. We sat outside as it was really beautiful out. Our waiter remembered my boyfriend from his previous visit which was really great customer service. We had a few ideas of what we wanted to eat but still and for recommendations. He knew the menu well and gave great suggestions. The food was served promptly and it was great! We split the crab salad and skirt steak, for a side we ordered mashed potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection. We also got an off menu wine that really s3sled the deal and made this a fantastic lunch. The best part about the staff was that at one point sitting outside became unbearable due to the heat. We were swiftly taken inside without any issue or feeling of being a burden. Perfect for a small brunch, but looking forward to coming back for dinner. read more

Went here for a birthday date night and was not disappointed. The ambience is classy and we were seated at a larger circular booth which allowed for a more intimate setting. The waitstaff was professional and extremely attentive. We both got the chicken which was delicious. I will say the menu seemed slightly overpriced but the portions were big which was reassuring. Drinks were good but the drink menu seemed to also be overpriced. Overall experience 8.3. Would recommend for a special occasion night in west palm. read more

The restaurant was beautiful and had an elevated vibe. For a French spot I expected to see escargot and the like. Unfortunately not on the menu. Food was good, but not worth the high price value. Wine felt overpriced with a tremendous markup ($190 for Belle Glos, a $40 retail bottle). I don't know, I left wanting more. read more

Really loved the food. Surprised by the low reviews because 2 lovers of French food went and thought it was good. Service was fine. Only downside was sitting inside versus outside. read more

Late night table for me and my colleague that wanted sweets and for me craving savory night cap. We were surprised the restaurant had space for us and when we sat we were pleasantly surprised that we could still order food. Cocktail was delicious, and they even offered a NA pairing for my colleagues dessert choice. I had the cioppino and a delicious wine selected by our waiter. Ambiance is lovely, lots of fun was had that night and every table around us was having a blast. Definitely a place to be and to be seen if you're in PB. read more

Great Ambiance; disappointing food and service. We've been regulars at Le Bilboquet for years. The ambiance is always great. Sadly, the food and service have gone down hill, while prices have risen. It's no longer the fine dining experience we had come to expect. This evening our waiter was perfunctory at best. He took away our bread plates without asking if we wanted bread. Twice he brought dirty dishes. Mostly he was just absent. The NY strip steak was mediocre at best. Not thick, not particular juicy or tasty. The fries were over cooked. The Lobster bisque was tasty but the lobster was scant. The Lobster au Curry was tasty but it had even less lobster. Perhaps 1/4 of a tail. Sadly. This time the whole experience was disappointing. read more

Epic fail.... Once a staple on Worth, I understand why they've dropped to 3 starts. Stopped in for a late lunch. Todays service was slow and underwhelming, water glasses ignored. Way too long for order to be taken. Sangria and lobster bisque to start. Mains of the house specialty Cajun chicken and I wanted the Cobb, with a protein swap of lobster instead of the chicken and I eagerly told waitress that any up charge is understood and most welcome. Since their house salad is a whole lobster shelled, a top greens, I did not expect a problem. Waitress came back and said nope. Manager came over and said nope. Why? Just charge me the house salad price (or more) and make it an eggless Cobb? Nope. No changes to the menu. Ok. Ate the soup, wife had the chicken and we left. Ah, on a side note, when you serve fries as a side to your house specialty, bring ketchup in a ramekin... would have asked for some, but the waitress wasn't coming back to our table. One waitress for the entire restaurant??? Won't be coming back. With La Goulue around the corner, which was our first choice, unfortunately they close at 2, better choices are not far away. read more

This used to be a high end restaurant in Palm Beach with a strict dress code. Not anymore. Last night we moved tables twice to get away from the drunk Brooklynites in cut off jeans and flip flops screaming "more shots!" On our second more, we went outside where the women were wearing cut off jeans and the men in muscle shirts. Super informal. WAY overpriced wine list, and not your typical three times the bottle price, SIX times the price. A $50 white wine for $300 is too much. The food sucked. The atmosphere sucked. The customers were wretchedly dressed. WILL NOT BE BACK! read more

Beautiful restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating and also the option to have drinks and appetizers at the bar. The ambiance and service are great. The spicy Margaritas are delicious. The only reason I am not giving them 5 stars, my last visit I went for lunch and ordered the Palm Beach salad with shrimp and crabmeat, which I do not recommend. It was $46, and I was fine with the price, but what was served was ridiculous; the salad was mostly tomatoes and hard-boiled eggs and maybe 1 1/2oz of crabmeat and 1 1/2oz of shrimp. I had invited a client and did not want to make an issue of it, otherwise, I would have sent it back, but I was very disappointed that the restaurant would serve that and put a customer in such a situation. read more

Went there last month... the salmon tartar special was inedible (prepared so poorly -- the gray underskin was visible on most pieces and it looked like it was hacked, not sliced) and the mussels were simply ok. I love the atmosphere in season but in the summer time, when there weren't lots of people, mediocre (and expensive) food is hard to forget. I give it a 5/10 (food and cocktails). I probably will try again when season starts. Service was excellent though. read more

Cajun chicken was really good. We got the foie gras terrine as appetizer and the burrata. The foie gras had a lot of fat around it and the brioche came cold. The burrata was simply flavorless. The Cajun chicken, their special tasted good. The French fries that came with it were good as well. I got their saint germain drink that was really bad and tasted watered down. For dessert we got tarte tatin and ice cream cake. Ice cream cake was good, the tarte tatin wasn't. I would give this place a 3.5 read more

Had an early reservation and called several times to try to get a table inside. They could not guarantee it but thankfully we were seated inside. The server was very attentive and told us he could not take our order till we were ready with the whole order. He said the chef was busy and wanted all courses ordered at once. The octopus was perfectly tender and delicious. We also ordered the endive and Roquefort salad - perfect amount to share. As an entree we shared the veal. Everything was good but the standout dish was the octopus - I would give that 4 stars They did have a good selection for French wines but their prices are double what they are worth. Overall I would give the restaurant a 3.5 stars read more

My friend and I dined here for a Saturday late lunch. We ordered a bunch of apps to munch on, smoked salmon, caviar(super buttery and delicious), shrimp cocktail(great quality jumbo shrimp), I believe the last app we ordered was an avocado and crab dish. I can not find a menu online to double check. For an entree, I had the lobster roll which was extremely rubbery and did not taste at all like fresh, real lobster meat. It was actually the worst lobster roll I have ever had. The appetizers were all great however, the ice melted so quickly that the caviar was placed on top of that water was in the caviar, and after pointing this out to the waitress she did absolutely nothing about it. That I found to be unacceptable. read more

Absolutely never come to this restaurant! We were barely finished with our dinner with wine glasses still full and we were told they needed to flip the table because there were 10 year-olds that were waiting! We had not ordered our coffee. Unacceptable and unbelievable level of rudeness! We have never been treated so rudely at a restaurant - especially considering our bill was over $600.00. Stay far away from this restaurant! read more

Gorgeous dining room and bar area, lovely patio. We sat outside on a nice night after a few days of particularly bad weather. The manager remembered my dad and stepmom from a previous visit and stopped by to chat and make some recommendations which was very nice. The 4 of us shared a selection of meat and cheeses to start which was large with a nice variety. The wine list is extensive and very impressive - we had a very good Cote Rotie. For entrees we ordered swordfish, the Cajun chicken, mussels, and scallops; we also shared an order of the mushroom risotto which was incredible. Everything was perfectly cooked and the meal was nicely coursed out. For dessert we shared the profiteroles; a perfect dessert if you just want a little bit of something sweet. One minor drawback is that our server seemed to be a bit in the weeds, so to speak...took a bit to check back, have someone bring share plates, make sure everything made it to the table etc. Somewhat excusable because it's a very busy time of year and the restaurant was packed, but he seemed a little stressed. For example, we were trying to decide on a dessert to share and as we were asking for his opinion he turned away to see what was going on at another table. We also wanted to put in appetizers and then wait a bit to decide on our entrees and he said, "I need to take the full order at once. Our chef is...interesting." A more diplomatic way of handling the situation would be to say, "I need to take the whole order, but I'll give everyone another minute to decide and I can make sure that the kitchen will time it so you have enough time to enjoy each course." He did redeem himself by suggesting an excellent cocktail. I always say this, but I think it's very unfair to complain/ remove stars based on the price of the food. Yes le bilbo is expensive, but every restaurant on palm beach island is expensive! TLDR: the food is very good. Restaurant is beautiful. Get the risotto and the cajun chicken. Tequila cocktail is excellent. Wine list is great. read more

Le B is a very nice looking restaurant. I have been to a few times and I especially like the outside gardens and the staff is usually friendly. The food though is so overpriced for what you get. I had a $42 Salmon that was a tiny piece of fish, more an appetizer size and it didn't even taste good. Their famous Cajun Chicken is good but nothing special. The cocktail list is mostly $24 drinks. I get Palm Beach is expensive but at least give good size portions and make sure the dishes are prepared perfectly. To pay a fortune for a pedestrian meal is very disappointing. read more

One of the worst dining experiences I ever had. While I did not have to deal with the infamous "Martin" the hostess and rest of the waitstaff were clearly judgemental of my party, likely because we were college aged. I did not think anything of it and assumed it was just the posh nature of such an establishment. However, I soon realized my suspicions were true. After being seated, our waiter (I do jot know his name), took our initial orders. No issue. After our appetizer of a Charcuterie board arrived (the contents were not listed on the menu), I had a question about one of the items. The waiter had not checked on us since taking our order. Instead, Two very kind and hardworking ladies in pink polo shirts would continuously come to our table and fill our water at every moment. Since they were the only staff coming around, I asked one of them the question. They did not know the answer and said that they would ask someone else. No issue. The issue was when our waiter scolded the young lady for talking to us. I could not believe it. After his scolding, he came over and belittlingly told me what one of the contents were as if I were too stupid to belong there. When the food finally arrived, it was mediocre. I would not have an issue with it if it weren't for the price. It was the worst food I ever had when considering the price to quality ratio. I ordered the filet and I can guarantee that they put zero seasoning on it. Not even salt or pepper. I felt like a caveman eating meat. It made Outback look good. The waiter came back to check in on our meals, only to find that one of the members in my party's beef tartar was not right. I do not eat beef tartar, but according to those in my party who do, Le Bilboquet's Beef Tartar is weird. I cannot personally confirm nor deny this sentiment. The waiter then came back for a third and final time to issue the check, to which they actutool off the beef tartar. This was the only positive experience here, despite it resulting from a negative one. I'm pretty sure we gave a 0% or 10% tip, with the rest being handed to the young lady who was scolded by the waiter. She was the only one who treated us with kindness and made us feel welcomed. All in all, this restaurant ranks as my worst dining experience of all time. This restaurant does not produce excellent meals with new and exciting flavors. This restis merely a status symbol. I'd be shocked to hear that anyone comes here because the food is good. I guarantee the appeal of this place is to just say you are eating here. It's like the Dorsia of Palm Beach (Dorsia would probably has good food though). Do not come here! read more
