Bouchon 1314

You want to have a perfect dinner and a great atmosphere. This place is awesome. The staff is amazing and the food is very delicious. Love it.

The Rack of Lamb was one of the best I have had! We just bellied up to the Bar with locals and had a great time! The wait staff/​tender were very nice also… Really beautiful place in Oak Cliff! A must try

I gave a glowing review for Bouchon two months ago, but I had an awful experience there last night. Dinner took 2.5 hours. We had to get up and ask for everything — for our order to be taken, for our food to come out, for checks to be delivered, for the REST of the checks to be delivered, for our cash/​debit cards, etc. My girlfriend ordered a side of garden vegetables for $ 5 and was given and charged for the $ 18 risotto. She hates mushrooms, which the risotto is full of, but we’d been waiting so long she suffered through it rather than wait another hour for some veggies. Everyone agreed the food was good, but I doubt anyone in our group will come back any time soon.

Bouchon 1314 is my new favorite. The wine selection is amazing! We get the mussels every single time, and they are consistently wonderful. I had had both the lamb shank and rack of lamb, both were perfect, tender, and moist. My husband enjoys the pork tenderloin, and my father loves the steak. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Our waiter at this restaurant was awesome, however most of my experience was down hill from there. For appetizers were got calamari which tasted like it was from a sams club freezer, mussles which were ok, but certainly not stellar, and duck confit which was very good. Now, im being a little harsh, but when we order 45 dollars worth of appetizers, most of which were not nearly worth there price, THEN we dont get the extra bread i asked for when we ordered, im just not impressed
For an entrée i had the rack of lamb, others got fish or steaks. I ordered my rack very rare. While one piece came out rare, the other did not, it was medium well at best. Too late to return it, and im not a complainer so i didnt say anything, but for 35 dollars, i expect the best. The flavor was pretty good, but the pieces were very small, and overall not worth the cost. My friend who got the sea bass was happy, those with steaks seemed satisfied.
My crème brûlée was under bruleed and not very crème. Sort of rigid, and lacking in much flavor, sad
Overall, i would not return. For a table bill well over 200 dollars before drinks, the food was decent, but not impressive by any measure. Did not taste like a 50+ dollar meal

Our group experienced another great restaurant here in Oak Cliff. Nine of us came in on a Tuesday night for dinner. Limited self-​parking available in front of the restaurant. It was difficult to see the restaurant in the dark as the signage was not lit. The restaurant is an open space with high tin tiled ceilings and a medium-​sized and very well-​stocked bar area plenty of wines to choose from. Casual, jazzy music playing over the sound system. Service was prompt, attentive, and very considerate for our groups’ needs. Ambiance this Tuesday night was nice and subdued. Easy to carry on a conversation. The dinner menu had plenty of options from appetizers to desserts. My Caesar salad was very good especially considering they follow the classic recipe using anchovies and French bread croutons. My entrée was the pork tenderloin with a fantastically delicious sauce, fried onions, mashed potatoes, and perfectly cooked veggies. Everyone in our dinner group of nine cleaned their plates. Those who ordered the mussels appetizer were very pleased. Only dinner and brunch are served. No lunch. They are closed on Mondays. Many of us promised to come back and try other dishes and the brunch too. Great service, food, and relaxed atmosphere. No complaints.

What a lovely addition to Dallas dining ! I have been to Bouchon twice in the past month. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and it is low key. The wine prices are very good and the menu has options for everyone. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the lamb shank was melt in your mouth tender. I can’t wait to return!

I wanted to love this place since it’s right down the street. the have hey front door that looks like it’s the janitors door. I wanted the food to be good and it was Subpar… the pizza tasted like digorno and I spent $ 80 on three drinks and a charcuterie board not worth it. waitstaff look like they had been up for 3 days it was very unorganized and disappointing. sad

Bouchon 1314 pops perfectly! Salads that provide a cacophony of flavors, perfectly grilled meats of such quality that they melt in your mouth, desserts worth the calories, an owner who will help you pair the perfect wine or beer with your meal, and an ambience that evokes casual and intimate elegance, Bouchon 1314 is a new star in the culinary constellations of Dallas.
With an art deco mural on one wall and the others showcasing the wine selection, Bouchon 1314’s ambience was warm and inviting. The din of many conversations with classic jazz as an undertone set the mood. The owner, Jean-​Michel Sakouhi, makes everyone feel special.
Caesar salad was perfection with a clearly traditional French house made dressing complete with anchovy garnish and homemade croutons. Beet and arugula salad combined the nuttiness of arugula and tanginess of goat cheese in vinaigrette with citrus undertones. Accompanying the arugula were 4 savory balls of fried goat cheese that exploded in the mouth with a moment of crispiness followed by a burst of soft, tangy goat cheese. I have found a new addiction.
It’s difficult to capture the incredible flavors of the entrees with words. The filet mignon, grilled perfectly by Chef Victor, all but melted in the mouth with the perfect amount of char outside and tenderness inside. The swordfish was equally lovely with char and flakiness. Delicious when eaten plain, the meats’ respective sauces elevated their counterparts to an ethereal level of savory succulence. The sides, asparagus, carrot, and potatoes au gratin, were perfect accompaniments for the perfectly portioned steak and swordfish. The au gratin was tender and firm at once and as flavorful as my mother-in-law’s (which is quite a compliment). The mushroom risotto was fresh, creamy and light and the sauce had just the perfect amount of rosemary and savory goodness.
Crème Brulee and flourless chocolate cake were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I cannot wait to try the chocolate mousse next time I’m ready for an evening sharing a splendid meal with good company when we’re in no hurry. Salut!

Great place to have brunch. The calamari is on point! They are actually open on Sunday’s from 10am-​3pm to tame your brunch needs! Wine prices by the bottle are the best you will ever see!

By far one of the best meals I’ve had in Dallas. We had the calamari and mussels and both were outstanding. I wish I could just bathe in the sauce we dipped the fried calamari in, it was that good. Also had the pork tenderloin and tiramisu for desert. Definitely plan on coming back for sure.

Wonderful hospitality and service. You will like this place! The wine prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, nice but not stuffy. They did a nice job with the room, but I do hope that the metal doors are only temporary.
The food will keep you coming back. The dishes are classic, with no hipster element at all. It’s very old school, but well done. It was nice to see entrees, fully composed, with a start and vegetable on each plate. Because of this and the wine prices, this place is a good value and should be perfect for the neighborhood.
We especially enjoyed the mussels, the Caesar salad, the calamari and the lamb shank. Heck, even the short rib burger was special. They do, however, need to get the frites crispy. We will certainly be back soon and often.

Dallas has needed a restaurant like this for a long time! It has an affable owner checking on the tables and welcoming guests.
We started off with the mussels. I am sure the type rotates by what is in season but these were Prince Edward Island mussels. They were cooked perfectly and were the tender type of mussels, not the small chewy kind. The portion was not huge which is preferable for an appetizer. The mussels came in a Provençal broth and came with plenty of yummy crusty bread to soak up the rest of the sauce. The only thing I would suggest here would be to put salt on the table. When eating the broth by itself, I would have liked to have added a little salt to it.
Next for me was the kale salad with blue cheese and pickled onions. The salad was warm so kale was tender. It also had bacon in it so made it a great combo with the blue cheese. My husband had the mixed green salad with Bouchon’s house dressing. It was a very good fresh salad with some vegetables in it as well.
I had the Manhattan steak from the regular menu, and my husband had the lamb shank special. My steak was slightly overcooked but had excellent flavor with the bone attached. It came with some cheesy gratin potatoes that were also good and some fresh asparagus that was cooked well. The lamb shank came on a bed of Israeli couscous with yellow squash and zucchini. It had rosemary and a sweetness to it that went well with the meat. The shank was super tender and fell off the bone.
For dessert, we went with the flourless chocolate cake. It was good but nothing extremely notable about it. The other two options were mousse and crème brûlée, neither of which appeal to me but know many others that love these.
And for the wine… oh the wine… wine is one of the main reasons to come here. The list is large with lots of the world represented (not just California) and excellently priced. The wines I know were at least 25% cheaper than other restaurants. You can also go look at the wine on the walls and not just look at the list itself. Great concept! I would come here just to hang out at the bar, order a cheese or charcuterie tray and drink a bottle of good wine or bubbly for a reasonable price.
The décor is pretty with dark wood and comfy chairs. Part of the room has beams on the ceiling which gives the décor a French feel. There is also a long, inviting bar. However, I think they only have wine and beer now. One thing I would suggest is putting little candles on the tables to warm up the glow of the room.
The location is also great. It is west of the crazy part of the Bishop Arts District. The strip where Bouchon is located looks like a cute little downtown area. Another great perk compared to the main part of Bishop Arts is that we easily found a parking place without having to valet!
No reservations taken so far. If you like an interactive, talkative server, ask for Patrick. He was a pleasure to be around!
Great food, wine, décor, and neighborhood. What else could one want? Highly recommend!

One of my new favorites. Approachable and affordable with classic French cooking styles I love. Wine is more than fairly priced! GEM.

Great French food. Great service. Reasonable prices. Welcome to the neighborhood Bouchon 1314!
