    Our table wasn’t ready at the time of our reservation. We waited for more than 30 minutes. Then we ordered & it took way over an hour for our food to arrive. We had to ask for bread because we were so hungry. At this point it was alteady past 10:00 PM. The food was mediocre.

    Madame, Nous vous remercions sincèrement d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre ressenti, même si nous regrettons vivement que votre expérience n’ait pas été pleinement satisfaisante. Nous tenons toutefois à préciser que votre réservation a été effectuée seulement quelques heures avant votre arrivée et que nous vous avons installés immédiatement. Vous avez par ailleurs exprimé le souhait d’être installés à l’intérieur afin de bénéficier de la climatisation, ce qui a nécessité quelques ajustements supplémentaires. Nous sommes navrés que le délai de service ait été plus long que prévu et que la qualité de nos plats n’ait pas répondu à vos attentes. Soyez assuré(e) que vos remarques ont été transmises à notre équipe afin d’éviter que cela ne se reproduise. Nous espérons sincèrement avoir l’honneur de vous recevoir à nouveau et de pouvoir vous offrir une expérience pleinement satisfaisante. L’équipe du côté saint germain

    Our waiter was superb. Despite a crowded restaurant, he handled everything very well and got everyone's order correctly. The food was terrific, probably the best meal we've had in our week at in Paris. And the ambiance is lovely at this restaurant. Highly recommended

    We sat outside on patio and enjoyed the ambience of a lovely Paris evening! Wonderful service and the food was delicious.

    9.5/10

    I chose this restaurant based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. Casual ambiance with excellent food. The French onion soup was superb as was the duck entree…really enjoyable. The escargot was just okay but my other options more than made up for that. I don’t usually write reviews and there are so many options in the area. Nevertheless, so glad I came.

    The food was amazing with generous portions. The service was very good and the server was delightful. The restaurant is quaint and prices are reasonable for the high quality of the food. I would dine here again. The French onion soup was yummy.

    5/10

    We were a multi-generational family of 7- 5 adults and 2 children 9 and 11. The server was very thoughtful in bringing the kids' meals when the first courses were served, however we'd been clear as to one of the kids wanting a cheeseburger with nothing but meat, cheese and bun and it was served with a sauce on the bun. The other order was for a hamburger with no cheese or sauce and it was served with cheese. He took them both back to re-do the order. After that the service was extremely slow. My husband and ordered the pasta with scallops and the dish was very cheesy and bland. Cheese had not been mentioned on the menu. The other 3 adults were pleased with their cheeseburgers, so all was not lost!

    It is an ordinary place with standard food and low level ambience. the servis was very poor due to limited staff.

    food was good, service was slow, waiter disappeared after food finally served, the indoor ventilation brought in cigarette smoke from outside.

    Côté Saint-GermainOwner

Your comments are very valuable to us, and we’ll address these concerns with our team to improve. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a better experience next time!

    Small, cozy place. Excellent Camembert starter. Chicken fricasse also quite good. Maigret cooked just right. Nice wine choices, service is good despite being busy.

    2.5/10

    The waiter was helpful and friendly on arrival. However, he did not get our order right, the food was cold and flavourless when it arrived and we did not get what we had asked for. It was not well-cooked and the whole experience was very disappointing. We should have trusted our instinct and left before ordering.

    Côté Saint-GermainOwner

    We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had. It’s upsetting to hear that we did not meet your expectations, especially in terms of the order accuracy and food quality. This is certainly not the standard we aim to uphold. Your feedback is important to us, and we will address these issues with our team to ensure better service and food quality in the future. We truly hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a much better experience next time.

    Great place, good food, very nice service personnel. It was a soccer night with the French team playing which made it a crazy busy place- which was fun but also kind of not what we wanted. But that’s more our fault. Highly recommended!

    Côté Saint-GermainOwner

    Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the food and our service. We completely understand that the busy atmosphere during the soccer night wasn’t exactly what you were hoping for, but we’re glad you still had a good time. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for a more relaxed visit next time!

    Seemed like an ordinary place, empty inside with loud music & only spot outside was on a table in the rain on a busy road. We went elsewhere.

    The food was excellent. I really enjoyed the Ceasar salad. I would like to try the goat cheese and honey salad next time. Our Waitress was tremendous - she was personable, knowledgeable and made sure we were taken care of. Finally, great semi-cooked chocolate cake and coffee finished us off properly!

    The tall guy that serves is soooo awesome and he makes your day!! Risotto with shrimps, perfect flavor, so overcooked shrimps tho, try to cook them less they were hard as rocks. The guy that is in the bar, please don't cut the bread with hands without gloves after touching cocktails, money, and everything. Overall good experience. Atmosphere cozy.

    5.5/10

    Spur of the moment choice but we were very hungry and it had good enough reviews we thought… but the food was below average - overcooked entrecôte, cold bernaise, the stew was barely warm…. But the server was very attentive and polite. It was a Sunday evening so perhaps the actual chef was off duty?

    Our first dinner in Paris. We made the reservations weeks before- based on reviews. Cozy table on the sidewalk- with smokers all around. Charcuterie board was all meat, we expected cheese, nuts, grapes? Our meals (chicken and sea bass) were ok- nothing outstanding or memorable. Sonja was attentive and friendly server. Seems to be favored by neighborhood men who sat out front and chatted.

    Should have known why it was easy to get same day reservations. could not understand how prior rave reviews were given except it ownership changed hands, or they were fake reviews.

    Although the ambiance wasn't what we were expecting, both the food and especially our server were far better than our expectations. A great example of how one person can elevate the entire experience.

    Great little spot in St. Germain. Food was delicious, service was great and the atmosphere is quintessential French! Try the octopus, you will not be disappointed!
