Dining at Drouant was a truly remarkable experience. The food was at the expected level, perfectly crafted, delicious and tasty and with a wonderful presentation. The ambiance was as delightful as you could expect at any high level french restaurant, and even though in my opinion the tables are too close to each other, such is the french style. They have a remarkably extensive list of french wines, albeit surprisingly scarce of international ones, and a bit highly priced, approx 10-15% higher than other A-level establishments. The service was correct. I did expect a bit more enthusiasm upon the new year celebration, as it was nothing to write home about. Everything considered, it was a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Had a fantastic New Years Eve dinner with my wife. The Prix Fix was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality and portion sizes. They were very nice when we asked for our last course and the check quickly, as we were approaching the 3.5 hour mark of our 5 course dinner and wanted to be back at our hotel before midnight. An wonderful evening!

The food was very good. The service was not. We were not asked if we wanted a coffee and we got sick of waiting, asked for the bill and left. We also had to get our own coats because the person in charge of the cloakroom could not find them even though we handed in the ticket. It was our second visit and we returned as our previous experience was good.

All foreigners are put together in one segment room. Quality of the food, poor. It’s just prepared without love and attention. Taste is weak and wines are incorrect expensive. This was my 3 visit, definitely the last one. Not worthy to go here, a tourist trap.

We were very surprised by the quality and presentation of the food. Creative and full of flavor; however, we did think the price point was a bit elevated for a restaurant of this category. The staff was professional, but perhaps a bit disorganized, as we had seven different staff members servicing the table throughout the evening. This made it confusing as to whom we were supposed to be interacting with throughout the night. The restaurant decor was very nice inside and out, but a bit too loud for our taste.

The food had a great potential but was underperforming. Was served cold and "old" bernaise, The duck was served with only wings and ties, not breast and was undercooked, bloodred at the bone. The steaks was bloody even after specifying that we wanted medium rare. The service was friendly and knowledgeable by some but sloppy and unatending by others. Drouant is an institution and with the chef, who I think was not there that day, they should score better on some basics in food and service.

I went to this beautiful restaurant to celebrate my friend’s birthday in Paris I was surprised by their “service”. I had to ask for my yogurt order three times before I was finally told that they do not offer this item on a weekend. The setting was lovely and the food was really good.

The turbot meunière, the pâté en croûte and the coconut dessert were excellent, but the bread was stale. The service is a little inefficient, they move a lot but you still wait quite a bit.

Arrived at 2:15 for a 2:30 reservation. Was promptly seated. Waited 15 mins before order was taken, 45 mins later no food had arrived at the table. When we asked for the check to leave, they wheeled over the cheese cart. No, if cheese was ready 40 mins ago, why did we sit here? Paid for our wine and left.

This is a classic upscale brasserie with an excellent menu and wonderful, but overpriced wine list. It’s been there forever and it’s always worth the visit. It’s nice to find places that still do an authentic rum baba.

The food, while cooked well, lacked flavor. What a disappointment to be presented a beautiful dish only to find it tasting like water was added to the vegetables and seafood versus making a complimentary sauce or base. The service was like hummingbirds flying all around constantly fussing over us and not allowing us to have a conversation. Both were shocking for Paris considering this restaurant was recommended. The ambience was beautiful. Such a shame. Will never return.

We have dined at Drouant several times in the last few years, and we love it. The food is always extraordinary. We noticed this time, however, that the always impeccable service had been elevated a further notch. Table-side selection of cheeses, fish preparation, and an aperitif cart added a personal touch that we appreciated very much. Kudos and gratitude to the fine staff. We shall return!

Poorly coordinated staff made the experience very disappointing. They did not pay the expected attention and were not able to coordinate the meal. Even the bill was wrong in the end, trying to get paid for an extra main course. This is not what I expected for a Michelin associated restaurant.
