    My first visit to La Grande Boucherie was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the hostess greeted us warmly, wished me a happy birthday, and escorted us to a gorgeous balcony table with a stunning view of the restaurant. The service was impeccable, and the food and drinks were nothing short of spectacular. To start, we enjoyed the wagyu carpaccio and French onion soup (both were exceptional). For our entrées, we ordered the Filet De Boeuf and the Boucherie Burger, each cooked to perfection. To top off the evening, we got crème brûlée, complete with a candle to celebrate my birthday. The thoughtful details and incredible dining experience made this a night to remember! :)

    Cuisine delicious. Waitstaff very good. Decibel level fairly good, though as older patron, level could be even lower for easier conversation. Current maitre d’ hard working and efficient. Dined previously during soft opening and maitre d at that time exuberant and outstanding!!!
