Food was okay..duck leg was..fine but barely had any sauce and was accompanied by ONE small fingerling potato cut in 4. Ridiculous. Server never checked in, didn’t tell us the specials, and the dude seating people was grumpy. I understand they were slammed in the kitchen but the whole experience wasn’t great. Took so long that everything was closed by the time we were done. Kinda soured the day a bit. Ambiance was nice though.

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%…

The house offers delicious snails and incredible bread—be sure to ask for them. The cheese plate and smoky asparagus are magical.

Le Bouchon has amazing food and friendly, attentive staff. Two waiters were helping us the night we came in, and both of them were welcoming and very kind.
Our food came out at a reasonable time! Onion soup wasn't very hot, but it was still yummy, with lots of cheese. Our chicken entrées were perfect. Great flavor, perfectly cooked chicken, and satisfying portion sizes. Our servers checked in on us multiple times and had lovely conversation with us, as well as other tables around.
Only complaint was the cleanliness of the restaurant. As soon as we sat at our table, I noticed an old mildewy smell. My hometown had a Goodwill with dusty couches and two weak points in the ceiling that always dripped when it rained. Le Bouchon smelled just like it. We sat at the booths and there were stains along the bottom and sides, and a thick layer of dust at the top where your head would be. The light fixtures were dirty and flickered every so often. The main thing that put me off was the bread basket. The bread was burnt black on one end. The napkin it was on had a brown stain. Most importantly, the basket itself was caked in dust. It was woven plastic and there was a layer of dust on each strand of plastic. Some of it was touching the bread.
The utensils were wrapped in napkins, but a server brought us spoons for the soup. My spoon had bits of something on it, and the plates they laid the utensils on looked old and dirty. No biggie. I wiped my utensils on my shirt and ate my food. But while we were eating, flies came and kept landing on our chicken. Not the restaurant's fault, but the old musty smell, the dust all around us, and the fly bouncing on my fork made me lose my appetite completely.
Try to go on a warm day so you can eat outside. The inside smells super musty to the point where every bite of food had a hint of mildew flavor whenever I breathed in, and the dust is everywhere. Staff is nice and food is good, but if I'm paying $90 for three apps and two meals, I would expect a clean dining room.

The waitstaff took fever to seat us and then were very rude. Must be a horrible place to work. We didn’t even eat and left.

I think the food tasted okay, but the wait was very long and my steak was overcooked. Even though I was given a $5 discount and the portion size was small, I don't think it was worth the price.

Amazing French place in downtown Cold Spring. About a 5 minute walk from the train. French fries with sauce was amazing, I forget what it’s called but it was great.
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.

Came here mid afternoon on a Monday, so it was quiet, which was nice. Food was amazing. My only complaint was the outside patio had a lot of bees. I tried to ignore them at first but they mobilized and kept flying around our heads and food and landing on our plates and glasses. Eventually we had to move to the front patio (we have a dog so couldn't be inside). The waiter was very accommodating, but again, it was so quiet with no one out front, that the transition was easy. We finished our meal (with only 1 bee lurking around). I wish they could resolve this problem, but overall a great place. Would return (but maybe will sit inside). The bangers and mash was banging.

Charming place at Cold Spring. Service is great, the staff is super friendly and helpful. The fried brie was SCRUMPTIOUS, but my main, steak tartare, was disappointing… It lacked yolk and some “acidity” (like relish/mustard) it tasted like a raw burger beef patty. Despite that, will be coming back as the overall experience was nice :)
