The place is beautiful. The service is geared to foreign tourists and the classic bistro food is “iffy”. The oyster bar is good but on the side of expensive. The wine list is limited and again, no bargain. I would avoid if the purpose is to have a real Parisien experience .

Could have improved on customer service. Felt like we were rushed & waiter was abrupt…we didn’t understand the concept of lunch & dinner menus. We would have ordered more if we did

It was a great dinner, we were a group of 8, they gave us a small private place so we had a great time and shared talks

Seafood especially oysters are fresh and large size with reasonable price. Main course is perfect taste especially scallop with white wine sauce and French Onion soup. Desserts, we choose Mille - feuille which is very delicious and crispy. Next time must come again. This trip I went two times.

Ben the Maitre D was friendly funny and welcoming to us even though we were n’t French. I’m commenting because of some the previous negative reviews from tourists. The service was excellent and we were not rushed at all . They honored my request for a table by the window which was perfect . The starters and dessert portions were very large and easily shared. Highly recommend the Burrata . The duck confit was especially good and Mille Feuills We had a wonderful evening the only disadvantage was that there was no prix fix menu so the bill was pretty high

We had a waitress and atmosphere. My husband had the beef filet with peppercorn sauce which was excellent!

I should have known better than to go to a restaurant across the street from a massive (American brand) hotel. The food was fine, but not great. Definitely not worth the high ratings I found on Trip Advisor. Service was excellent, though the place was pretty empty at the time I dined.

Excellent experience and very delicious food. Menu and prices were slightly different than what was shown online. Plan on stopping by again this trip for more of the tasty oysters.

Pretty poor service as we came in a little earlier. We were seated at a poor table while nobody else was there.
