The baked goods are very good, but the prices reflect that. This is certainly a place for the tourists, but so are the other bakeries in Napa (Model Bakery!) Go there, enjoy the goods, spend some cash.

This is probably one of the best restaurant in Napa Valley. The service, cleanness and the ambiance was excellent. They have a pretty impressive wine menu with many fine Napa and French selections. The food presentation was on par with many high end restaurant with complex flavors. I will go again and highy recomend to friends.

When you are seated at these little tables that have to be pulled out in order for the person sitting on the inside to get in, your eyebrows raise a bit and you wonder if you haven't made a mistake in trying the trendy Bouchon Bistro. However, all fears are alleviated once the friendly and knowledgeable waitress promptly greets you... More

A trip through Yountville would not be complete without an afternoon coffee & dessert stop at Bouchon. My wife is such a fan -- she bought their cookbook to try an duplicate their desserts at home. It's a memorable experience -- especially chocolate ganache

My wife and I had dinner here our first night in Yountville. The place was packed , which is great, but ( like the bakery) Bouchon seemed to be more about the hype of eating there than the quality of the meal and service. I enjoyed my flat iron steak but my wife's gnocchi was not that great. The service... More

Had lunch with my extended family here on our last day in Northern California before we drove back to LA. We didn't have reservations and the place was full, but luckily a party cancelled and the gracious host was able to seat us. We ordered the pork belly, seafood crepe, gnocchi and gruyere mac n cheese for the children. Everything... More

Authentic decor, friendly staff and great food. This is not cheap but it's well worth the money. Ask for a table on the small patio.

The decor was lovely, the staff superb, and the meal was one of best I've had in my long life. The braised lamb shank with an excellent wine has become one of my fondest food moments. The only criticism would be the accoustics. As the restaurant got crowded it also became very noisy. But I would put up with the... More

My husband eats mussels wherever he can and the mussels here were the best he has ever had! Pretty sure angels were singing throughout the whole meal! This place is always packed for a good reason! Thank you Mr. Keller. Now can you just open up something in Tucson? :)
