    I’ve been to Le Bouchon over 10+ within the last year - and this recent time, we did not enjoy majority of the dishes. Our all time favorite are the mussels and they were EXTREMELY salty this time - didn’t even want to finish the broth or dip our bread in it. Not sure if it’s a new recipe or kitchen has a heavy hand, but most of our food was too salty to eat. Will be giving it another shot next week but would love this feedback communicated with the kitchen.

    Nice, quiet even romantic vibes. Great spot for a date or just a cozy brunch with friends. Great service, typical American brunch menu with little unique twists here and there. I went with 2 friends and we got the scotch eggs to share and pancakes , French toast, and salmon meals. All looked good and tasted nice!

    We were excited to finally have the chance to eat at Jordyn’s. My boyfriend, my mother and I arrived for our 5:30 reservation and when we walked in, we had to stand in line waiting for the hostess to take ‘to go’ food orders. We stood probably about 10 minutes waiting. When it was our turn, the hostess was very nice and thanked us for our patience. While the restaurant itself isn’t very big, it is decorated nicely. When we arrived at our table, the first thing we noticed was the chairs had very short backs. My mother is 85 years old and I was concerned about her sitting in a chair that she could not lean back in. The chairs sit very low, and the tables are tall, so I felt like a kid in a highchair! I asked for one of the two empty booths, but was told those were for larger parties. Anyway, on to the service. Our server arrived fairly quickly after we were seated, but that was where the quickness ended. It took a LONG time for the food to come out, roughly 30-40 minutes. My boyfriend’s food didn’t come out for another 20 minutes. The saving grace…the food was really good! I had smothered pork chops with sweet potatoes and collard greens, my mother had fried chicken, sweet potatoes and collard greens, my boyfriend had smothered chicken, mac and cheese and broccolini. Everyone enjoyed their food. Be warned, there is 20% gratuity added to parties of TWO or more. Kayla, the food runner, was sweet as pie and kept checking on our food for us. So to sum it up, would we go back again? yes, but we agreed we would try a different time of day. OH, one more thing, it is BYOB, no liquor served! I do recommend this restaurant but I am hopeful they will smooth out the rough edges.

    The staff and food were both wonderful. We had the maple burger and a salad with salmon added and both were amazing! Nice atmosphere and the service was quick. Price was very reasonable as well. We ate there two days in a row.

    A truly special dining experience, every dish was incredible and the wine pairing suggestion was on point. I appreciated the close attention to detail with my food allergies and was able to get several dishes modified in a way that didn’t appear to compromise on flavor! It’s a beautiful and comfortable space as well.
