Dined at Bouchon less than one week of its opening. My twin sister is a like-minded foodie and made reservations from the Bay Area when word first got out they were accepting reservations. The service was superb, the Point Reyes oysters and butternut squash soup marvelous. However, the kitchen was heavy with the salt on both the Bibb lettuce salad with herbs and the fish special, a pan seared skate wing; had to send both back.

The desserts were sublime--floating island, lemon tart, and pot de creme. The coffee was some of the best I've ever tasted. It's roasted special for Bouchon Beverly Hills (each of the Bouchon restaurants have distinct purveyors for their coffees and house wines).

The dining room is lovely, high ceilings, beautiful fixtures, and traditional black and white tiled floors. Even the bathrooms are wonderfully appointed.

In spite of the missteps with the over-salting the food, I would still recommend and will return.
