bouchon bistro - the venetian

for the last night of our trip to las vegas, we decided to havedinnerat thomas keller's bouchon in the venetian (not to be confused with bouchon in santa barbra, where i've also dined but is not related). having tried unsuccessfully (several times) to b

a very nice dinner. a couple weeks back a group of us spent a couple hours here for a very nicedinnerthat i appear to have forgotten about (could it be the multiple bottles of french wine... could be).
we started off with a shared appetizer of the petit plateau because everyone was in the mood for some seafood. while the raw was certainly fresh and tasty, the cooked lobster and shrimp were a bit overcooked and rubbery. as a dedicated salad, i had the coeurs de palmier ("hawaiian hearts of peach palm, field rhubarb & cippolini onions with spring onion ravigote") that was very tasty even though it did suffer a bit from the expected fussy construction and presentation. as a main, i had a special of scallops in a saffron bouillabaisse that was top notch. great distinct and fresh flavors with nothing being overpowering. for desert, shared an order of the dark chocolate mousse with burnt orange cream that i thought was a perfect end with a cup of coffee (though had a taste of the profiteroles that were, as expected, pretty darned good).
ultimately, this is a really great option if you like french themed high-end bistro seafood. nice that it's pretty casual (probably more so than you'd expect from the price point). just don't expect it to be cheap... it is not.

our breakfast hit the spot and was enough for us to start the day on a good note. the service was absolutely spectacular and the rich and robust coffee may have been my favorite part of the breakfast. the breakfast was good enough to where i would like to try out theirdinnermenu on a future visit. the venetian/palazzo complex has some very good restaurants and bouchon matched the quality that i have come to expect from all of their restaurants.

we haddinneron christmas eve here and only set menu was available. we ordered the grand plateau and my set was the salad, lobster and chocolate cake. food was really delicious, the poached lobster was one of the best dishes i have ever had, it was so fresh it was literally sweet. chocolate cake was outstanding too as it was not too sweet which i liked.

french bistro? hahanaha.....not even close....maybedinneris better, but breakfast came right out of a roadside diner. salty eggs benedict with ham from a package, not a chance it's in house made pork hocks, burned french beignets.....twice. manager was great and comped the donughts.....waffle was good and flavorful....but sorry need to do better. salad and potatoes were overly seasoned....wont be back....

everything was understated and elegant, considering this is located in vegas. the waitstaff was friendly and on point. i had eggs benedict and my husband had croque-madame - grilled ham and cheese topped with a fried egg and mornay sauce. both dishes were delicious. we wish that we had time to eatdinnerhere.

fabulous classic french food! excellent service and beautiful french bistro space! we ate breakfast there twice and it is divine. on the weekend we had the ‘american’ – which only an american could eat! started with an almond croissant with chocolate inside, then eggs with sausage and bacon, toast, freshly squeezed orange juice and good coffee. love love love!!! the attention to detail was superb, the food was delicious, and we will make it here for breakfast on our next and every trip to vegas. must try it fordinnernext time!

over hyped. went todinnerfelt like lunch food did not have wow factor.

not quite what i hoped for. in vegas for a few days and wanted some good food. bouchon was generally highly rated so we decided to give it a try. it is located on the 10th floor of the venetian. initially it was difficult to find but that is probably because we didn't pay attention. regardless, the interior is a slightly upscale bistro vibe- nothing extremely fancy. i started mydinnerwith a raspberry cocktail (grand cru) which was quite good. i wanted to try the sofrito clams appetizer but the others i was dining with were not interested so i settled for the onion soup. what a disappointment that was- very salty and run of the mill onion soup. i was excited to try the flatiron steak frites as my entree. the steak was pretty darn good but the fries were nothing more than fries i could get at any random fast food place. i mean really? no truffle oil or anything special to dress them up? that was a disappointment to me as i love good fries. dessert was creme brûlée and it was pretty good. the other diners with me agreed that the onion soup was worth forgetting and the creme brûlée was good. worth noting, one of the other diners had the salmon entree and really enjoyed it- cleaning her plate. our waiter was friendly and attentive. i was glad i tried bouchon but i certainly would not rush back and at this point i wouldn't really recommend it as a place one must try. maybe their brunch is better.dinnerentrees average around $30.

i was disappointed with bouchon when i was there fordinnerrecently. the tables for two people were ridiculously close together, and the restaurant wasn't full. there were other tables me and husband could have been seated at. the bone marrow appetizer was very small and the roast lamb was average. the waiters and staff were very good, but i can't recommend this restaurant to others.

amazing meal at bouchon. salmon rilletes was incredible, so much so i filled up on it. so i had the mussels and frites fordinnerand it was perfect. the frites were cooked perfectly, they literally melt in your mouth. this place lived up to the hype.

fantastic for breakfast. we had breakfast here two times on a recent visit to vegas and my wife and i both thought those two meals were some of the best we had the whole trip. i normally don't get too excited about breakfast food, but everything we had was incredibly good and the service was excellent. this restaurant is definitely on our list for adinnerthe next time we are in town.

nothing to rave about, but not bad. had the leg of lamb special and the wife ordered salmon back in august for our anniversary. service was excellent and the place was empty when we showed up (earlydinnerto catch phantom later). both meals were good, very hearty, and filling. we've had them before at different restaurants in different cities, and this time they were about average. dessert was nice, a warm chocolate cake filled with syrup coupled with ice cream. coffee was good too, sharp but effective. as locals we probably won't eat here again and won't recommend it to anyone looking for something amazing, but it's a decent place to sample if you like french food. bring your checkbook.

an excellent experience.. i had the pleasure of visiting bouchon at the venetian hotel, in las vegas. my wife and myself just loved the food there. we had an excellentdinnerwith four other friends my wife tried a wonderful clam dish which she just devoured. i had a roasted chicken plate that was delicious. i can still remember how it tasted. we will be returning real soon to bouchon to have another great dinner.

always good. i've eaten breakfast, brunch anddinnerhere and it has always been memorable.
