Bon Ami French Bistro - Canandaigua (NY)

5 /5 Courtney Hill: My first time in Canandaigua, for work, I came in for dinner and ate at the bar by myself. All the staff were super friendly and attentive. Fabulous drinks and amazing food. The escargot were perfect and the duck was just like butter. The bread pudding was so good, I got one to go for my husband.

5 /5 Heather Leblond: What a gem! One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The service was on point — attentive but never intrusive. I had the lamb chops, which were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My sister had the Linguine Picante and loved it. We finished with the crème brûlée, which looked almost too good to eat and tasted amazing. Highly recommend checking this place out.

5 /5 Dr. Johannes Dietrich: This is a truly special place to eat. Great service, cozy location, and spectacular food. French onion soup was the best weve ever had. Goat cheese frites were out of this world. Everything else matched. Well done in every way! We cant wait to return

5 /5 Nicole C: My husband and I were in Canandaigua for a work-related trip. We were fortunate enough to get reservations at Bon Ami. The ambiance was absolutely lovely. The soup of the day was clam chowder, and it was one of the best clam chowders Ive ever had outside of the New England area. We received welcomed recommendations on the food and wine pairings. The sauces on my husbands lamb and on my duck entrees were just perfect. There were several occasions where the staff checked up on us to ensure that the food and drink was satisfactory. We cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

5 /5 leostation Fact: Party of 5, appetizers ordered were octopus (a special). It was decent, tender but Ive had a better prepared dish. Needed more char though the potatoes underneath were perfect. The entrees were the star of the show: two orders of shrimp with vodka sauce and the chef and waiter were accommodating enough to allow us to add chicken. Ive never had a better vodka sauce. Amazing. One of our party had the chicken gorgonzola, loved it. The other two dishes were the salmon risotto and the scallops. Both top of the line. Ive eaten all over the world and those dishes were among the best. I would say the bread provided was almost unnecessary. Small and not impressive. But the service, owner, ambience and main dinners were as good as it gets. Ill be returning soon. Update: visited again and was outstanding once more. Bouillabaisse was amazing but I really want to amend my previous critique of the bread: it was wonderful this time. They added garlic, rosemary seasoning which was delightful. So good!
