We went for Thanksgiving, and were thankful we did. My husband had the traditional turkey dinner, and I had the filet mignon. Both were excellent, as was the service. The best part was the chocolate lava cake for dessert. It was so delicious!

We visited on a Wednesday for $8 martini. We ordered items that we had ordered previously, burrata salad, fig and pig pizza and the bread but this time with whipped ricotta. Everything was delicious and we have leftovers. The martini was spot on as well. We asked to be seated in the rear as it is a much quieter area which made for a vey pleasant dinner. Our server Marissa was delightful. We will be back!

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.
