Bon Mot

We had a great experience! The restaurant had a chill dim lit vibe. The food was delicious.. the oysters were nice and buttery! And the drinks were carefully crafted and just a delight! The service was great.

Came here previously a few years ago and remember being impressed with the food! However, my most recent time coming, we were told the kitchen was out of an appetizer we had ordered as well as two out of four possible entree options. We ended up ordering the pork belly lettuce wrap appetizer. The lettuce was sad and shrunken and the pork belly was dry. We were really looking forward to trying the short ribs as well but after an hour of waiting, were informed they were out of this item. We then settled for pork chops, but had to wait another hour for them to come out. We had originally planned to have dessert here too but after 2 hours of waiting, we decided to skip dessert. If asked a year ago, I would recommend this restaurant but now I am less inclined

9/10 for cocktails, 9/10 for ambiance, and 2/5 for food. Overall would come back for cocktails not sure about the food. I came for dinner on a weeknight and they only had a set menu available for dinner. The meal consisted of starter plates, palette refresher, some entrees, and a dessert. The starters were okay, the scallops, steak, and halibut were overcooked, and desserts were underwhelming. Perhaps I came on an off day (Christmas Eve) or my expectations were higher but food didn't really seem worth it. Service was great though, just wished my food was better

My wife really wanted to come here for awhile and thought it would be a great date for Valentine's Day. We were mistaken.First off, consider this place a "bar first", and "restaurant second". The ambiance of the bar is more focused when you first walk in. The feel of the table set-up feel like an after-thought.We got a relatively late reservation and while I was ecstatic at the time, I didn't realize until we were seated that it was also "last call". The place closed closer to midnight, so I didn't realize my reservation aligned with their last call and their kitchen staff were rushing to go home. And it was hard not to notice given the lack of attention we were given.On top of that, many of their popular items were sold out.The food itself were okay? The octopus dish had a very nice and zesty sauce, but it was mostly onion slices and 2 small pieces of octopus. The swordfish was not bad. The mushroom risotto.....felt like buffet quality, if that makes sense. Wouldn't hurt to add something with either kick or protein?The price of the food itself isn't high enough to hurt your wallet, but depending on the dish you order, the "value" is very questionable.One of our dishes was some mussels in a tomato-based sauce. They didn't give us the bread pieces it would normally come with. My wife noticed on Yelp it was supposed to via a photo. We called it out with a waitress and she graciously brought it out with an apology knowing it was late.I honestly wanted to pay my check without tipping if not for the final waitress. But given how little were paid attention to, I thought it would've been okay to leave without paying at all. The drinks were okay. I imagine if we tried other drinks, we may have been impressed, as would you. But that is overshadowed by the lack of overall attention we received, as well as the food itself despite some decent efforts in the dishes' presentation.We would not go back. Unless I wanted a drink. But I'd rather go elsewhere for that too. It's a cheap Korean version of Tanto.

Long overdue review of where I had my birthday celebration last year. A group of us had reservations for a Friday evening and after we were seated, we began to order drinks. My favorite of the night was probably their Berry Fresh, which was made with vodka, elderflower, lychee, lemon, tonic, and blackberries. Bon Mot is what you would consider a Korean, Asian fusion type of restaurant. The interior is decorated nicely enough(dark theme) and they're actually connected to the lobby of the Residence Inn hotel next door.This group loves to order as many of the items on the menu as and go family style. I would say the Skirt Steak and Fries were probably my favorites. Otherwise, nothing else stood out for me.Our waiter obliged us with our many many requests, especially as there were 2 kids in our party. Overall, a fun place for larger groups and conveniently located in a plaza with many other food and drink options as well.

FOOD: 3SERVICE: 2AMBIANCE: 4VALUE: 2We got together with friends to have a pre-Christmas dinner. Surprisingly, we were able to secure a 5:45PM reservation on a Friday night for 6. We ordered a few appetizers to share:KFC - Korean Fried Cauliflower, deep fried cauliflower served with sweet chili sauce. Crunchy, but all you can taste is the sauce. Maitake Fritters - green bean tossed in sweet & sour sauce. Mistakenly ordered this thinking it was Maitake mushrooms. Nothing outstanding, the green beans were a little soft. Steamed Xiu Mai - not what you think! More like meat balls, a little strange and unexpected. Spicy Cucumber salad - crunchy cucumber and spicy sauce, taste as expected. We had the Seafood Paella to share as our main course. It was served lukewarm warm, with a decent balance of spices, but the rice (not sure if it was Spanish rice) was a little soft. Overall, the food was decent, but not really consistent. The appetizers did not arrive at the same time or even at all (octopus never came). The same with the entrees and they all arrived luke warm bordering on cool. Service was more inconsistent than the food! On top of that, the restaurant charges a 5% service fee and a 20% mandatory tip. The service and food quality cannot justify the cost of this meal. If it wasn't for our friends, this would have been a waste of money.

My friends have been recommending that I try this place and I recently did. The reservation was easy but I felt like they didn't really pay attention to my dietary restrictions notes I added in the reservations. I was impressed with the drink menu as it has unique cocktails that I haven't seen before such as pandan whiskey old fashion and an ube cocktail. My bf loved the ube drink. I took a sip since it does have dairy in it. Oh and for those wondering the lychee cocktail has evaporated milk in it so it's not dairy free. Bummer. The yuzu one was very refreshing though! The grilled octopus was good and nice and tender. I loved the purée paired with this. Not pictured was the tekbokki which we had to send back because the rice cake was not cooked through. The table behind us did the same thing. Once they remade it, it was the correct texture. The highlight of my meal ( well my bf's meal) was the pork tenderloin. I got to try some and for someone who usually doesn't eat pork, I loved it. It was so tender and juicy and wasn't gamey. The onions crust on top had a sweet crunch to it. It was amazing. I got the snapper catch of the day and it was cooked perfectly. Not a fan of the kimchi fried rice though since I've had better but I wasn't too upset with it. Overall a great dining experience and good food and vibes.

We came here as part of the Amex gold benefit.Shared plates:Kimchi dumplings: 3/5 this came with 6 dumplings. It was light and flavorful but small / minimal filling. I could have easily eaten double if had the opportunity! Rosé Tteokbokki: 4/5 our family loved this dish! Quantity was quite a bit and given the cold weather outside this dish was the perfect warm comfort food and flavor profile. The tteokbokki was chewy. We loved the flavors. Entrees:Fall spicy garlic noodle: 3/5 we were expecting a kick given "spicy" was in the name but the dish had a slight sweetness albeit not overwhelming. I liked the crispy tofu and eggplant mixture. Noodles were chewy with a layer of garlic + butter. For an entree the portion is quite small. We came as a family of 4 adults with the intention to share all the dishes.Chicken La Zi Ji: 2.5/5 flavor was smokey but that's about it. It wasn't a memorable dish outside of this. This dish came with a side of rice.Ambiance: 5/5 it's nice and clean inside Staff: 5/5 super friendly!Overall I would rate our time here as 3/5. For the price point the quantity and flavor fell short.

This was my first time eating here and I was pleasantly happy with my overall experience dining here. We wanted to take my mom out to celebrate her birthday, and I stumbled upon this place because it seemed like a good middle point for my sister and her husband since they live in Morgan Hill. I made a reservation in advance, and it wasn't really needed since it was empty, but always good to make one, just in case.The location is not bad. There is ample parking spaces, mostly in the parking garage behind the restaurant and hotel. If it gets busy, you can walk around while waiting, so you don't get bored. They do have an interesting (in a good way) playlist lol.It's a Korean-French fusion cuisine, which I thought was really nice. We got a salad to share and it was refreshing! The lemon added a nice citrus tang to round out the entire dish. I ordered the short rib and it was very delicious! It was very tender, fall off the bone, and the ssamjang that came with it cut through the fattiness, which I loved. It wasn't a heavy dish, and the greens were cooked well. The broccolini had a nice crunch to it, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth. (I would have taken pictures, but we were really hungry lol).One thing is that their lunch menu is more of a brunch style menu. That's not a bad thing. However, it would be nice to see more lunch-style foods, but that's just my preference. Overall, I would come back again. Perhaps during dinner since their menu at dinner seems to have more variety.

Classy, laid-back ambiance with an impressive, sleek looking bar connected to the local Residence Inn Hotel. Bestie and I dined in last August. Reservations available but they can easily accommodate walk ins during non-peak hours.They have a good variety of cocktails!Drinks:*Yuzu Merry Me-- light, fruity, and slightly sweetened*Berry Fresh-- fruity and tartBoth were so refreshing!Eats:K.F.C. - Korean Fried CauliflowerRosé TteokbokkiKalbi Skirt SteakSweet and tangy crisp cauliflower. Savory saucy tteokbokki with fish cake and plump rice cakes. Juicy medium well cooked skirt steak with hints of sweet bbq flavor, potato & green veggie accompaniment. Even the water carafe made us feel all fancy! It was shaped like a rectangular liquor bottle. Service was quick but friendly. They'll gladly give recommendations for drinks if you ask. Nice place to unwind with friends or even a date.Restrooms are a short walk away in the hotel.
