Wonderful dining experience as always! It was Christmas Eve so glitches forgiven.

So sorry Cindy! We're always "shooting" for perfect, but our first Christmas Eve was a bit more of an adventure than we expected... especially with the new dynamic of OpenTable. I hope the extra portion of sea bass helped satisfy your husband. After this many years, you're pretty much family. Love you both! Happy New Year! Michele

Made Christmas Eve reservations, and the 3 of us were very excited to try this place for the first time. We arrived about 15-20 min early, but seated right away by the hostess. It was busy, but I didn’t get the impression overwhelmingly so. There seemed to be lots of staff and empty tables off and on throughout the night. Our waitress was very inattentive. We waited 25 min for waters and then another 10 before she came back with water and took our orders. It was another hour before appetizers started to come out. We’d ordered two bowls of soup, charcuterie and escargot. Soup came another 30 minutes after the first two items. We are two hours in now and no entrees. Meanwhile our waitress is barely present, never checks on us, nor offers to pour more wine, nothing. Despite serving tables on both sides of us. Entrees arrive, and they’re fine; nothing we were blown away by. Overall the food was okay, but forgettable. And for a $350+ bill it just wasn’t worth it for lackluster service.

Other than the misunderstanding about coursing your dinner, it sounds like your evening went perfectly. We are a traditional European restaurant. Your meal is delivered in courses, with the next course being "fired" when all guests put their utensils down. While your server may have seemed "inattentive", I assure you she was watching and waiting for the last person to finish before "firing" your next course. In fact, her lack of intrusive service is exactly what I would expect out of a true professional. We do our best to "read the table" and didn't recognize you were anxious to move the meal along faster. I was personally watching over your table and didn't recognize any impatience. Please ask questions when their is a disconnect. Happy New Year Michele Bacquet, Owner

We loved dining here for Christmas Eve! The food and service was spectacular, and the atmosphere so festive. I was also surprised (delightedly so) that Bacquet’s offers non-alcoholic wine options— even sparkling wine with alc removed! So considerate. Merci bien et à très bientôt— We will be back!

We were greeted at check in and my coat was hung up for me, then shown to our table by a friendly and cheerful staff member. Once seated we received prompt and friendly service and were offered to taste wines that we were interested in ordering. The food was presented beautifully with generous proportions and was fresh and tasty. The service was excellent and the server was knowledgable. It was costly, but we knew that going in. Overall a satisfying and pleasant experience.

Lamb rack and Duck were outstanding and perfectly paired with a Burgundy as always. Pork/Shrimp dish sauce was too spicy and overwhelmed the Burgundy. My mistake as the menu mentioned it was spicy. Best place in the valley in my opinion but I won’t try the pork dish again unless Franck changes it which I expect he will once he hears. Perhaps because Franck wasn’t there? The French onion soup was to die for as always.
Bacquet's RestaurantResponded on December 15, 2024
Mark, You are so, so correct! Franck was out of the kitchen that day due to an injury. We had gotten feedback after service that the Pork & Gambas was being prepared with far too much Creole seasoning. We did full kitchen training the next morning. I invite you to come back and try it again, when made correctly! Happy to hear the rest of your evening was perfect! Michele Bacquet Owner & Chef's Wife
