Pasjolie is an excellent prix-fixe restaurant with two menu choices each evening. There is a limited list of wines by the glass -- and they are expensive -- but it doesn't matter because the list is all excellent. This is an exceptionally good restaurant with innovative Michelin star-caliber food and elegant presentation. The service is attentive and efficient. My wife and I were trying to figure out if our investment income is sufficient to allow us to visit once a month; it was that good. In terms of value for price, it is definitely worth it.

We had a great experience at Pasjoli. Wonderful variety offered in the five course meal, with everything being delicious. The staff is well-informed and friendly, and it was so nice to be in a restaurant that didn't require shouting to be heard. Highly recommend!

The overall experience was good. The service was excellent. The breasts of duck were good, but the sauce accompanying was too cool, not sure why it was that way. The confit was particularly tasty, as was most of the meal. Value wise, not sure I’d go again for the cost.

We had the early menu which consisted of 3 courses. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The actual dishes that the food was served on were elegant and really added to the overall ambience. Our server was very nice and described each course in detail. Overall, definitely highly recommend.

I think they are on the wrong path here. They made the restaurant more casual but made the prix fix mandatory- this doesn’t make much sense. The duck is amazing, steak very good but the rest of the food seems like they are trying too hard to be inventive and failing. chicken weird like a layered mush, shrimp and lobster- supposed to be like a toast more like a crabcake that falls apart. scallop mouse app very creamy and heavy. I was very disappointed except for the chocolate soufflé which was excellent and the cheesecake.

no longer good... i have been to PasJoli multiple times since it opened; the food was great. last night: 2 fixed menu options only (no longer a la carte) - food was disappointing on all courses (with the exception of the cheesecake), service was sub-par. for a table of 4, our bill was $600+ the unanimous comment was that the cheesecake was the only good thing about the dinner.

Duck dinner was disappointing...first two courses were "meh"...third course (duck confit) was the highlight...overall, not worth the high price. Interestingly, the place was pretty busy for a Monday night. We did like our server Devon, who was friendly and professional!
