"This would have been an Excellent review, if not for the Maitre d'. The food and table service were great and the atmosphere was vibrant. It was our wedding anniversary dinner, planned and booked one month in advance. We were excited as we traveled from Texas to experience Napa Valley and have our dinner at Bouchon. When we checked in, the Maître d' looked around and immediately placed us in the bar area and not the dining room (with table cloths She didn't even ask us if we wanted to wait for a table, which we would have. No, she just sat us in the bar area. This is not what I would call good service! I expect much better from a Thomas Keller restaurant! I'm sorry to report this, but the restaurant needs to know. Again, the wait staff was great and the food excellent."
