Le Bouchon

My partner and I had a delicious dinner at Le Bouchon! The restaurant was crowded, but we were seated quickly. The servers were extremely attentive and kind despite how busy it was. We loved the salad, steak entrees (medium steak au poivre and medium well filet mignon pommier were cooked perfectly), and crème brûlée we ordered, as well as the restaurant’s ambiance. The food also came out quickly. Highly recommend if you’re in Cold Spring!

A Monday night dinner. Moderately busy. Nice cozy atmosphere. The patio is definitely nicer with the little fountain. Staff were nice and polite with good suggestions. We ordered Escargot Parisian, Mushroom Soup, Steak Tartare, Canard Confit and Brussel Sprouts. The food was okay. I found the Tartare more of a sour pepper flavor over others I tried with wasabi. And the Canard Confit which was duck a slight dry. The Escargot, Mushroom Soup and Brussel Sprout were much better. Nice experience.

Here’s a simple and honest review in your tone: --- Le Bouchon had decent food, but the service could definitely use some improvement. It wasn’t bad, just not as attentive or smooth as you'd hope for. Might give it another try, but probably not in a rush to go back.

Salmon was pretty good, no complaints. The potato leek soup was pretty good too. The bread was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside +1. Edit: just realized that they charged a service charge, so in total we tipped 40%…

A Hidden Gem in Cold Spring, NY: Le Bouchon Brasserie Dining at Le Bouchon Brasserie was truly an excellent experience. The Crust Pepper Steak was the star of the show—perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The mushroom ravioli felt like a warm, comforting hug, and the butter escargot was absolutely delicious. The octopus spread and the watermelon salad added a fresh and creative touch to the meal. The back patio is charming and inviting—an ideal spot for a relaxing afternoon. I’d suggest adding a bit of soft French music to enhance the ambiance even more. The waitstaff offered top-notch service, very attentive and welcoming. One area of improvement would be the table linens and ensuring the silverware is spotless—a small detail that could take the experience to the next level. D
