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

Every time I am in Paris, I try to have one dinner in this very nice restaurant with such a cool staff.

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

Unfortunately, we were able to make a reservation for 6:15 pm, while the restaurant didn't open until 7.

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.

Good was delicious but service was dreadful. Twice had to get up ask for service. Waited 20 minutes to ask for a drink….

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.

Great location for the Marriott hotel where we stayed and service was good . However the food was very average - nothing special and pricey for what it was. There are much nicer bistros in the area. Having said that the couple next to us had the seafood platter which looked really nice and they said it was Excellant.
