Le Bon Vieux Temps comes through in these reviews as a cozy, stylish spot with a Great Gatsby vibe where inventive cocktails and fresh seafood shine, from oysters to aguachile, with tapas that pair beautifully with the drinks; the decor is stunning, the ambiance intimate yet lively, and the service warm and attentive, making prices feel reasonable for the quality. Frequently described as a hidden gem, it invites return visits for evenings with shows or simply to soak in the welcoming atmosphere, with many praising bold drinks like the Smoke Manhattan and other creative cocktails alongside delicious food, while a few note desserts not quite matching the rest but not enough to dim the overall standout experience.

A Place That Feels Like Home - With Food That Warms the Soul & Cocktails That Steal the Show
There's something truly special about this restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease-the staff is warm, attentive, & genuinely kind. It's the kind of place where hospitality comes naturally, & you instantly feel like you're in good hands.
The food was absolutely delightful. I started with the beet carpaccio, which was fresh, vibrant, & beautifully balanced. The beef carpaccio followed-tender, flavorful, & simply perfect. But the highlight for me was the clam soup-rich, comforting, & clearly made with care.
& let me tell you about the cocktails-they're in a league of their own. Every one I tried was not only delicious but also unique & thoughtfully crafted. The flavors were bold & original, & the presentation was just stunning. Easily some of the best cocktails I've had anywhere.
My friends had the plates in the menú, & their feedback was pretty much the same. They were ecstatic with their drinks & food.
Every detail here is done with intention. It's more than just a meal-it's a whole experience. I left feeling full, happy, & already looking forward to the next visit.
A Hidden Gem - Impeccable Service & Next-Level Cocktails
I was genuinely impressed with this place. The staff was incredibly warm & efficient-service was lightning fast, & they made us feel welcome from the start.
As for the food, every bite was on point. The oysters were fresh & clean, the beat carpaccio felt so fresh & fit exactly for spring. I tried a few cocktails & was blown away. The azteque Epicee Cocktail was easily one of the best drinks I've had in a long time-bold, smooth, & just the right touch of drama. Also Le Hors-La-Loi was another standout-elegant, citrusy, & refreshing.
This place checks all the boxes-flawless drinks, delicious food, & top-tier service. Definitely adding it to my favorites list.
From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional-fast, friendly, & incredibly attentive. It's rare to find a place where every detail is handled so perfectly.
The cocktails were hands down the best I've ever had. I tried several, but the Smoke Manhattan stole the show-rich, smooth, & perfectly balanced. The Fleur & Agrume was also amazing, offering a refreshing & aromatic twist.
The food? Absolutely delicious. We started with oysters, which were fresh & beautifully presented, followed by a flavorful aguachile & an exquisite mushroom risotto that was rich, creamy, & deeply satisfying.
Everything-from the drinks to the dishes to the service-was top-notch. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended!
I hosted my husband's 40th birthday party at le bon vieux temps, & it was an unforgettable night! The staff was incredibly welcoming & made sure every detail was perfect, from custom cocktails to fantastic service. The drinks were expertly crafted, & the food was delicious - a real hit with all our guests.
The atmosphere was the perfect mix of lively & intimate, making it a great setting for celebrating such a special milestone. My husband had the best time, & everyone loved the experience. I can't recommend le bon vieux temps enough for anyone looking to host a memorable event!
Jack's Lune de Miel was a great cocktail. Excellent happy hour specials on drinks & oysters. Pleasant service. Gorgeous decor. I wish they would put more effort into promoting themselves as I only know about it because I walked by it.

I love the nostalgic décor, it really transports you back to the 1930s. It feels like you're in Chicago or New York, & you half-expect the mafia to walk in at any moment 😊😉. The Rockefeller & Tempura oysters are fantastic. The drinks are also amazing & delicious. The service is friendly.
