Fodor's Review:

This upscale restaurant showcases fine local wines, produce, and such regional specialties as fresh Pacific ahi tuna and organic pork chops. The mood is intimate and the wine selection huge.

Reviewed by Wedineoutalot from San Diego, California on 11/22/08
We went to Bouchon about a year ago and it was ok. So we decided to give it another try. This time the service was unprofessional, which was surprising considering the hype. Management was indifferent. We eventually decided that if we were going to spend $350 on a meal this was inappropriate. So we actually left and went next door to Olio e Limone where (as usual) we were treated like family and enjoyed a fabulous meal. I will never go to Bouchon again nor will I ever recommend it. There are so many other great places at this (or any) price point where they actually care about their customers. What a disappointment.
