Review Summary

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 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!

Going back soon!

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.

We enjoyed the atmosphere & overall decor with beautiful gothic inspired sofa (which we loooove 🖤), real oil lamps & quirky portraits of animals wearing a ruff. The menu was equally lovely. Oysters prepared 5 different ways, Tuna Tataki & much more that we'll have to return to try as well as those delicious cocktails.
