    First Time to this lovely intimate restaurant and we were wowed! I love white crisp table cloths and intimate ambiance. Great service from Jennifer. We had the foie gras and warm brie salad to start. Melt in your mouth delicious and beautiful presentation. Pork parmesan and pork Marco Polo did not disappoint. Shared creme brûlée for perfect ending. Look forward to going back soon. Very civilized and upscale experience.

    Another exceptional evening and dinner at Paris Bistrot. Wonderful service by Pierre and JC's dinners were memorable. Pork Tenderloin "Marco Polo" was tender and delicious. My husband's cassoulet was another "winner".

    We love Paris Bistro and have come here for 13 years the restaurant was packed and the servers were overwhelmed our reservation was for 6:30 and our meals did not arrive until 8:30. Our waiter large male did not bring my wine when the others received theirs and when I asked him he said I didn’t order it that I just asked him about the specials but we all knew I did order it. I’m easy no big deal. I also ordered the $10 Port at the dessert order was placed and he forgot that too which I didn’t get billed for since I was driving probably a good thing.

    Delightful restaurant. Great food, service and value. The salad Nicoise is excellent. But, the Moules Provençal are the best I’ve ever had. The broth is fantastic! Highly recommended! Just make sure that you make a reservation.

    The two special entrees that we ordered were only fair. The duck was very fatty & the sauce was runny without much taste. The filet was not as tender as we have experienced before. Our waitress was good & which made the experience better, but we will not return to the establishment.

    We arrived at 11:30. The waiter gave us lots of time to order. I had the special, which was a quiche with Brie , mushroom and bacon. It was excellent. We were not rushed and I was pleased as I was with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. She had the croissant breakfast special which she also enjoyed. Plates were a perfect size !
