You did not provide accurate drop-off instructions when booking with The Fork. We were dropped off close to Musée D’Orsay but the boat was actually 3 bridges further down. Rather stressful to arrive on time. I thought I had booked on the larger boat but we were on the smaller, one level dining boat. We had a nice time but you need to work on the booking information.

Le Calife is a small and elegant boat full of character. The dining experience is intimate and cosy. Paris by boat is an incredible site - a night tour is definitely preferred to a day one as you will be enchanted by the lights. The food was of a very high standard, something you would expect from a top restaurant. All in all it was a very memorable and delightful experience.
6.5
A little odd. Abrasive wait staff. Food was not bad. Smell of diesel fuel. Not sure I'd recommend.

This was a great experience. The food wine and service were of a very high standard, the portions perfectly acceptable for three course meal and of good quality.. The cruise was lovely on a beautiful summers evening and was further improved after dark with the city of Paris all lit up. All aspects of the evening were great and would highly recommend for lovers of top end dining.

We saw this boat dinner cruise experience featured on The Frenchies’ YouTube vlogs and had to try this experience. This once in a lifetime experience was superb and magical since we celebrated our daughter’s 15th birthday with this amazing dinner! From the moment we stepped on the Calife, we were greeted with excellent hospitality and positive energy. The starters, dinner, wine and desserts were to die for. Highly recommend this beautiful experience for anyone looking for a fine dining experience in the heart of the Seine river. This once in a lifetime adventure will be stored in our core memories forever.

I read many poor reviews of Seine dinner cruises. Not being able to see the scenery or the food was bad were just a few. These reviews couldn’t be more wrong!! The Califfe cruise was wonderful. Food was excellent, service was fantastic and words can’t describe the scenery! We some great people on the cruise and had a great time. I would highly recommend Califfe cruises!!

We never found the destination/pier for the cruise. Therefore, I cannot give a good rating, based on the fact I prepaid.

We booked the Calife for Easter Sunday 2025. It was amazing and our best meal in Paris! It was such a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday away from home. Our food was absolutely amazing, and the service was exceptional! I highly recommend.

The meal was excellent, our server Tabussam was so kind & helpful, & the timing & view of the entire boat ride was excellent. Thank you, Le Calife, for an unforgettable 1st night in Paris!!! I would do this again!

We were not impressed with the food at all. And felt the wait staff was very unpleasant.
7.0
We had read a lot of great reviews but our experience was below average. Food is ok, the welcome drink is just pure sugar. The decorations are a bit tacky. The one think that was impressive was how one server (I missed getting her name) managed to serve 42 guests all by her self and was fantastic. She should get an award. The guy behind the bar was not very good in English and very non communicative, why would you not out someone who is good in English on the boat when 100% of the people are tourists. I would not do this again, one can get a nice meal for this price and I would do a guided boat tour specifically.

Wonderful food and great experience!

The boat did not leave the dock due to the water level being too high, however, the entire experience was still well worth it. The food was next level, and the service was great. The ambience of the boat being on the Seine was still beautiful despite the boat not leaving the dock. Highly recommend. I will also note that they refunded us the deposit directly onto our dinner bill (due to the boat not sailing), which we thought was appropriate and was a well received gesture.

If you want an evening dinning trip, you must book a month or two in advance. We could only do a lunchtime cruize/meal at noon. It was a three hour lunch date. Service was great. Food was ok, above par . The starter was great. Main course was a bit salty. I've had better in New Orleans. Views were excellent. Out next time in Paris we will book an evening dinner. Nice time, not rushed at all. Maitre d was great.
