Went for Sunday brunch. Had to wait about 1/2 an hour for a table but well worth the wait. Had the biegniets (sp?) and the croque madam. Fantastic food and really knowledgeable service. Highly recommend Bouchon for breakfast/brunch.

Dinner was absolutely fantastic. We ordered the steak frites, with the steak done medium well. Often steaks cooked medium well can be tough and dry, but this one was unbelievably tender and moist. The french fries are too die for. For dessert we ordered the lemon tart, which was easily the best I had had since being in Paris.

This will be a tradition for every trip to Vegas from now on.

I am a Las Vegas local and Bouchon is my absolute favorite restaurant in town. We probaby dine there once a month.

The food is very French, but isn’t too “weird” for normal palates. Be sure to check the specials written on the chalkboard each day. Fabulous pastries for dessert as well. Very nice fresh seafood bar and good wine list.

The decor is a charming French bistro. The dark woods combined with tile is really pretty. There is also outside dining. I think the dress code should be called business casual. Women’s don’t need a dress and men don’t need a jacket or suit. I think a collared shirt and skirt and blouse is fine attire. The atmostphere is not snooty at all.

The service is always superb, with most of the waitstaff having a history with chef Thomas Keller. On our most recent visit, our divine waiter had worked at the French Laundry in California for 14 years.

This restaurant isn’t too expensive, either. A couple can eat very well with a glass of wine, salad or appetizer each, entree and 2 desserts for under $100.

My favorite menu items are the carrot soup (in season) and the salmon with leeks. Oh, and make sure you try the macaroni and cheese, made with rich goat cheese and sheep’s milk—it is macaroni made in Heaven!

Dinner was a bit of a disappointment. Dishes were excessively complex, and the parts didn’t always seem to fit together. The fish in the dish I had was downright boring in flavor, yet the accompanying sauce and meat did nothing to bring out the flavors nor added to the overall dish. Service was great. The setting is magnificent. This is a bistro, not a restaurant. Do not go here for the great dining experience.

Definitely the best place in Vegas for an upscale breakfast. Service was outstanding (as it always is at the Venetian.) and the food was incredible. Brioche french toast was to die for!! Wonderful place.
