Description

BAUME restaurant was created with the premise of combining the modern with the ancient. The name Baume was chosen because it represents something which is scientifically classic but gastronomically modern. It fits Chef Bruno Chemel's concept by being something originally French but which is now used universally. The dining room Morewas designed with an emphasis on clarity and tranquility. Baume restaurant was built with a focus on Quality, Honesty, and a Respect for Nature. These philosophies carry from the attitude of the staff to the food itself. Our menu is built with a consideration for digestion and moderation influenced by macrobiotic cooking. With this in mind, we've prepared a small focused wine list to accent the food without overwhelming it. It is French Cuisine Moderne with a Zen Touch.

The food is excellent, especially the 62 degree egg, caviar with parsnip puree, filet mignon. We had plenty of wine with the petit pairing, and it was delightful. You could also share the full … Read full review
  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Jonathan A. at Yelp User Review2/2/2013Baume has so much going for it. Outstanding, precise and elegant service. Distinctive modern decor. Beautiful presentation of the food. Even the dinnerware reflects careful selection and excellent taste. So, why only three stars? The problem, alas, is the food. Nearly every dish missed the mark, and almost … Read full review
  • Rating: 5.0 out of 5"by Dave N. at Yelp User Review1/26/2013Very class, as one would expect from a restaurant with two Michelin stars! Very contemporary decor, with eight tables in the entire restaurant. There's only one menu really, the tasting menu. It's nine courses (and then some), and they list the ingredients for the day in the menu, so parties can accommodate … Read full review
  • Rating: 1.0 out of 5"by Michelle D. at Yelp User Review1/20/2013We have eaten at some amazing and expensive restaurants so the price wouldn't have bothered us so much if the food was memorable and divine, but that wasn't the case. We had maybe two courses that were good, a few courses that were okay, mostly mediocre and then there was the suckling pig which … Read full review
