French Bistro Tartare

Review Summary

Across the reviews, Le Tire-Bouchon is described as a stylish French bistro with a warm, sometimes lively atmosphere and generally attentive service, though experiences vary from excellent to disappointing. Some meals shine with mussels in white wine, salmon tartare, duck and snails, generous portions and a thoughtful wine program, and guests praise friendly staff and a handwritten menu. Others report slow service, long gaps between courses, overcrowding, a hot terrace, and inconsistent kitchen execution such as over-salted mains, an overcooked trout, or a bavette that falls short. Pricing is mixed: wine is reasonably priced or a good value with private imports, yet some entrées and additions feel pricey for the quality. Several guests recount group meals where the seating and service were positive, while a few mention management inconsistencies and occasional staff turnover affecting the experience. Overall, Le Tire-Bouchon remains a popular, convivial spot with solid dishes and a notable wine program, but reviewers urge improvements in seasoning, timing, and consistency to elevate the dining experience.View restaurant profile
