Very good choice for my birthday. Servers were excellent. Old friendKeelie is there also, veery nice. Food, the special Pressed Duck 5 course $ 125 per person, vry good. Middle course superb along with great amuse and salad. Got to full for main course duck slices...all done perfectly. Generally a superb evening, but very expensive. I did buy a very expensive Burgundy from their list and. paid $b 75.00 corkage for my 1994 Bollinger RD champagne. It was atreat. Thered burgundy wa good, not great. It is an excellent restauant. We'll try the regular menu soon and their new place Selene in January...supposed t be more high end tasting menus. a very successful event.

Excellent elevated French cuisine. Beautiful space, friendly servers. A touch on the pricey side but the level of food is above par for the area. One complaint would be drink prices - cocktails and wines by the glass all start high, and their bottle list is great but very little that is entry level. Still, if you don't blink at the cost this is top notch.

Another excellent experience at pasjoli! The parisian gnocchi was unreal - absolutely stole the show after several delicious courses that preceded it.

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.
