Reviews La Boucherie

The restaurant is located on 71st floor of the Intercontinental Hotel. It is part of the Wilshire Grand Center and is the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. As one can expect, the views are phenomenal. There is valet parking at the hotel. We made reservations ahead of time and arrived a few minutes early. Our table was already ready and we were seated quickly. The ambiance and decor are elegant, while still being comfortable. It was fun to see the conversation chairs in the bar area. They are vintage 3 seat chairs which were used in the past for a couple and their chaperone. Our server was excellent and was very familiar with the menu and answered our questions. The menus are backlit. It's pretty awesome. Eliminates people shining their phone flashlights everywhere for a less cringe experience. Started with lobster bisque because it was a cold and rainy day. Very nice bisque that arrives with a skewer of lobster. If I had to find a fault, a touch under seasoned. For mains we split the 32oz Australian Wagyu Tomahawk and added on the A5 Wagyu Striploin. The quality and flavor of the steaks was stellar. On par with Wolfgang's Cut. A5 Wagyu Striploin came out perfect. 32oz Tomahawk was slightly above medium rare, but the meat is so tender it didn't worry us. It's a thick cut so likely just residual heat cooking. The steaks arrived with two salts and two mustards. Pink salt, lava salt, a yellow horseradish mustard, and a purple grape mustard. All were excellent. This was the first time I have ever eaten steak with mustard. It is good. Older reviews mention a steak guy, a mustard guy, and maybe even a steak knife guy. None of that was offered and might no longer be available. Perhaps it ended due to the pandemic? We didn't ask. Garlic-roasted seasonal forest mushrooms and a roasted vegetable medley were enjoyed for sides. Both were excellent. We also tried three sauces. Three-pepper cognac, Au Poivre, and Bernaise. Au Poivre was my favorite, bernaise for my wife. While all were good, we kept gravitating back to the mustards and salts. We would likely cut back on sauces for the next meal. No dessert due to being completely stuffed. Yes, it is an expensive meal, but the quality of food and the level of service you receive are worth it.

This is absolutely the best food, service, and overall dining experience I've ever had in my life. Every item was plated and cooked to perfection. The french onion soup was amazing, the Japanese waygu was even better. The charcuterie and cheese was above and beyond in the flavors. Speaking of flavor, the three pepper sauce, and the grape incorporated mustard enhanced the flavors of the whole meal. Our servers were polite, returned frequently, and answered any questions we had. My wife and I will absolutely be flying back to L.A, if for nothing else, to eat here again. Thank you Carlos for the amazing experience!

It’s located on the 71st floor of the interContinental in downtown Los Angeles. Absolutely stunning views from most angles in the restaurant. Food and service was excellent! Not a steak girl - don’t even red meats. Went for Father's Day bc the men all love steak and family swears the Tomahawk and US waygu steak was amazing! I had the cod-esculent. Omg! Even the bathroom had a great view and I loved the décor. Bathroom was a huge highlight. Once you’ve finished your dinner, you can take your receipt and go up to the lounge area which was very nice vibe with good music. Gosh! Can’t recall what floor that was. I think 77th

Tricky getting a window table but if you book early they can accommodate, besides the stunning LA views, the charged spanish octopus was the highlight of the night for me. Staff is very attentive and knowledgeable, great spot to celebrate a special occasion.

This place is a wonderful place to eat. The service is fantastic and the food is very good. There is every type of wine you might want and spirits with the best view in LA. For every food item you get there is a variety of mustard, knifes, etc to pair with it. I would recommend saving room for desert as well. It's a high price but if you're celebrating, this is a great place to do it.

Excellent service. Beautiful view. Very comprehensive wine list. I could be wrong but maybe the food is better prepared when dining in a smaller group of two or four. I went in larger group of 12 this week and the steak was a little off. Overall it was still a very good dining experience.

Visited again in Jan 2023: I was disappointed that their steak knife presentation and mustard selections were discontinued. The wine list was also extremely limited due to supply issues. The fine dining experience definitely suffered... The food was still excellent but it just puts this establishment on the same level as 71 Above which might arguably have better views and a more exotic and creative menu which is not limited by the term "steakhouse" Previous review: Amazing fine dining experience. Vast selection of cuts and types of steak with great wines. If you enjoy fine dining and chop houses, this is second to none. The options for enhancing the flavors of steak are nearly countless. From a wide selection of mustards to exotic salts and various sauces, your taste buds will be dancing. You even get to select from special steak knives. The service was also excellent. The servers work well as a team and the sommelier was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the aged filet mignon, truffle mustard, and the flaming chocolate dessert.
