    This charming French restaurant is fabulously authentic. Bread, onion soup, mussels, are “best on earth”…it’s all just so damned good. The dishes will transport you to France, the sauces are over the top. Inside is cozy and warm. Sit cafe style outside with candle light, you might be in Paris.

    We always enjoyed coming to this restaurant it’s always consistent. My lamb chops this time were brought out to me late and were raw. It had to be sent back. But they made me a brand new order. Desserts were sooo good! We will return as we always do!

    This is the most delightful, authentic, privately owned French restaurant where the food is exceptional, the service is wonderful, and the ambience offers that touch of French charm. This is our restaurant of choice for lunch and dinner. On this occasion we enjoyed the most delicious dinner in the outdoor setting, We will be back very soon Thank you

    We have been regular customers of the Paris Bistro and we return because of consistency of the menu. However our last visit where we brought friends was not up to the usual. The foie gras was dry and white. Not foie gras?. The beef bourganione tasted like it had been reheated and not freshly cooked. The escargot and mussels were OK. It may have been a one time disappointing experience, but it might be while before we return.
