    The Shrimp,scallop and risotto dish was delish! The service was very friendly but slow. Perhaps they were just short staffed that night. Will try again!

    This was our first visit here. We were seated immediately at the exact time of our reservation, had a nice pub table outside on a nice evening, and the food was delicious and the service was prompt and attentive. We were there on Taco Tuesday, so the discounts made the meal a very good value. We will be back.

    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.
