3/10Service was awful. Only way of speaking to a waiter was to get up yourself and find them.

6/10The restaurant and the setting nearby Eiffel tower was really nice. It was also nice to watch the ferries to arrive to the harbour. The staff in general was really nice and polite - but we were not very lucky with our waiter. He was not "rude" as such, but quite ignorant and did not give us one single smile :( ... Maybe he just had a bad day...

3.5/10Waiter was nice , our wine glasses were different than everyone else's and we had ordered bottled wine not by the glass. Our glassware were tiny. We were not offered water and had to request it. The food came out minus one of our guests meals, the food was cold and overcooked. Our food was taken back to be remade, missing meal arrived simultaneously. When food came back they had just reheated it, which made the overcooked fish even worse, the steak was inedible and unable to cut. Pretty view but not a place I would recommend for food at all.

2.5/10Service was definitely not good. I guess i expected a more friendly environment but it was not. My waiter was pleasant but our service was bad, when we arrived the security guard had a really bad attitude, the host didn't see my reservation because he was only paying attention to the previous cancelled one when it clearly showed the upcoming one that i was there for. So all of that started the bad service and eventually when it got to the service they forgot to cook a plate for my father in law so he had to wait like 20 mins. Overall, i wouldn't return to this restaurant. The view from inside the boat is not the best. Also... the food was bland. I went to other restaurants around Paris that had better food. In all honesty, you are paying for "the view" not the food. I would recommend you go somewhere where you actually enjoy the food and service.

We went for drinks and stayed for supper. The bistro burger was perfect and so were the drinks. Five stars for food , ambience and our waiter!

8.5/10The location, ambiance and food were all amazing. The service was pretty poor, we asked for jug of water 3 times during our meal and despite jugs being delivered to both tables either side of ours, that and a drink of Oringina just never arrived! Really reasonable price given it's location so didn't complain.

6/10Only good for drinks and a view. Steak was bland and hard. Cesar salad was drowning in dressing.

2/10Such a tourist trap. Service was terrible and indifferent. Food was mediocre - not hot, not cooked properly. My wife was ill within 1 hour of eating there.

10/10We instantly got welcomed and seated. Had the option to sit outside, which we did! Right infront of the Eiffel Tower. Got constant service and served beautiful food. 10/10 Experience for us! Thanks :)

6/10If you’re visiting the Eiffel Tower and looking for a convenient place nearby to grab a bite and a glass of wine, Le Bistro Parisien is a solid option. Located just steps from the tower, right by the river and the boat tour docks, it offers a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower—especially in the evening. We made an 8pm reservation and were seated promptly. The outdoor seating is quite tight, with tables very close together, so don’t expect much privacy or space. The menu is fairly limited, with only a handful of options. We ordered the salmon but were told substitutions (like swapping zucchini for mashed potatoes) weren’t possible. The burger and fries were fine, and the kids’ chicken breast and pasta with cheese sauce were okay, though our kids didn’t love them. Service was a bit slow—understandably so, as it looked like there was only one waiter handling all the outdoor tables. As for drinks, the mojito and Moscow mule were just average- presentation and flavor could be better.

6.5/10The view was amazing with the table right next to the Eiffel Tower. Can’t be beat! However, the salmon portion was so tiny and the chicken on my wife’s Cesar salad was dry and hard. I guess you pay for the view.

6/10We chose this restaurant because it was near the Eiffel Tower and you may have a great view of it depending on where you sit Also because it was very conveniently located steps away from our Seine river cruise. The service was good but the food was not. We ordered grilled octopus that was tiny slices sitting on a curry-flavored chickpea puree. Not my favorite flavor and so little octopus. When the steak came, we couldn’t cut into it. It just wasn’t a good piece of meat so we actually sent it back and asked for a burger instead. The burger was good (I added salt) but the chopped meat seemed to fall apart in the dish. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this place for anything more than a drink.

6/10
Everything was great except for the food. For a kids meal why give an entire chicken breast to a child? It’s not cut up or anything. For the price that could be better. The flavor just lacked for me on the salmon. Please include ice with the water especially when it’s 85 degrees outside. It’s small things that matter. Genuine hospitality goes a long way.

7.5/10
I took my mom here to celebrate her 79th birthday with a view of the Eiffel Tower. It was an amazing experience! The food was average, our dishes didn't arrive at the same time and the appetizers came after we were eating our main course, but the birthday experience provided by our waiter was top notch! I mentioned it was her birthday to the host when we arrived and after our dinner our very sweet waiter brought her dessert, with a sparkling candle, singing happy birthday and the best part... he timed the end of the happy birthday with the start of the sparkling lights of the tower. It was incredible and beautiful!! The quality of the food weights heavily on this rating, which is a bit of a shame in our case because the service was much more significant in our experience. This was my mom's first (and possibly only) visit to Paris and that's a memory we'll both forever cherish. Thank you so much!

6.5/10Manager was kind, attentive and reserved the best table for us, from where we had a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. However, the waiters were slow and worked in a tired and unmotivated manner. The table was never cleared, and the dessert never arrived. It was our daughter's birthday, and we wanted to sing happy birthday, but we ended up eating dessert in a hurry and standing up (they didn't even charge us), because the dinner table hadn't been cleared. It took 45 minutes between finishing the main course and them bringing the desert, and they never cleared the plates! The food was mediocre, and the kids' burger was tiny. Pay for the ambiance and the view and the manager big smile. These aspects alone made it worth it.

2/10I was not able to make my reservation. One person in our group was unable to walk the steps to get to the restaurant. That should be mention that there is no elevator to get down to the platform. The US does a better job of making things accessible.
