It was very busy, so it was a little loud for the older people in our group to be able to hear. However, very nice atmosphere and surroundings. Our overall experience was "good" based on the wait staff was good, but not exceptional. IE: the waitress spilled our over-filled drink on the table when she delivered it and didn't brink beverage napkin, we waited a too long for empty glasses or dishes to be cleared, etc. Not enough to deter us from coming back! The food was exceptional.

Sublime weather had us dining outside. We were both adventurous so we tried something we hadn’t at this restaurant: the eggplant appetizer and the beef bourguignon. Both were superb! While I missed having the truffle risotto, the eggplant was hearty, and both portions large enough to make a lovely leftover lunch. We of course started with the escargot which is the best in town. Eat local and enjoy a really superb meal at Mademoiselle Paris.
