"Thomas Keller’s now classic French bistro that originally opened in Yountville, Napa Valley, continues to capture hearts from its high-ceilinged Venetian dining room. For dinner, indulge in a seafood tower of fresh oysters, poached shrimp, and mussels, or get a traditional caviar service with Regiis Ova caviar and traditional accouterments. Keller’s spot-on bistro dishes will always deliver, including his famed roast chicken served with bacon lardons and chicken jus. Salmon rillettes are another Keller favorite that every first-time should order here. From Thursday through the weekend, brunch is another reason to come to Bouchon, where crab eggs benedict and grilled wagyu rib-eye with eggs come with all the elegance of Paris, but inside a Vegas mega-resort. —Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Know before you go: Leave room for dessert, like classic creme caramel or chocolate mousse." - Matthew Kang
