How many times have you been able to have a romantic dinner with a newborn in tow? For us, until now, the answer was none. We decided last minute to take a mini-vacation to Newport for our 5 year wedding anniversary (July 3). The baby is still too young to be left behind with a babysitter, so we brought her... more

Although they've been there fourteen years, we were delighted to discover Restaurant Bouchard on our recent Newport visit. What a find! Wonderful traditional French cuisine and fabulous service - we were presented with complimentary glasses of champagne when our waiter found out we were celebrating our anniversary. Dinner was leisurely with time to savor our meals and enjoy our conversation.... more

We recently visited Newport for the Memorial Day weekend and decided to not only stay, but, dine at Bouchard's, a combination inn and restaurant. The meal, service and ambiance were outstanding. From the initial bread to the Grand Marnier souflee, and everything in-between we were impressed and delighted. This is a premier French restaurant and we would highly recommend it... more

My friends and I dine at Bouchard's every time we visit Newport. We have never had a bad dinner nor has anyone in the restaurant been rude to us. We love that we can take our time enjoying their wonderful food and not have someone take the appetizer away and serve the entree immediately following. The appetizer that we have... more

Atmosphere was nice. Medium sized restaurant with a front and back room, and small cozy side lounge. Worst part of the meal was the initial bread. Hard and too chewy. Fortunately everything else was much better. Escargot appetizer was delicious served in a light cream sauce with toast pieces. Restuffed lobster with scallops and lobster meat with cheese was very... more

This restaurant should be named "Snob". The whole environment and wait staff was so rude and made us feel like we should be lucky to be dining in there restaurant. I have never met an owner of a restaurant that actually makes customers feel that way. Also, the food is not even that great our meal was ice cold by... more

Absolutely fabulous meal! My husband & I spent 3 nights in Newport & our last night there we had our best meal at Bouchards. We had been disappointed the previous 2 nights at other well-known, recommeded restaurants in Newport & a bit wary of being burnt again. But happily we were not disappointed. The service was wonderful - friendly, but... more

We had the most terrible experience staying and dining at the Bouchard Restaurant and Inn. The owner's wife has no sense of what it takes to service her customers, me and my fiance were treated with no respect. It felt like we should be thankful to her for staying and dining there in the first place. Poor service has completely... more

I have been meaning to take my husband to a good French restaurant for a long time. And when I read the reviews of Chef Bouchard and his sauces, I knew I had to go. The service was outstanding as well as the food. We started the meal with the Chef's House pate. The flavor was good although I thought... more
