    Dined at Midnight in Paris on Friday night on Cup weekend and found the restaurant unusually quiet. This did not affect the dining or service; in fact, both were exceptional. The additional bonus of dining in an art gallery made for a great atmosphere and the staff were very helpful and friendly. will be going back again with friends, highly recommended
