    Service was fantastic. We had the escargot and salmon (special) for appetizers. Coq au Vin and Duck Confit for our mains. Bread pudding for dessert. All were very good! It was a little pricey but nothing crazy.

    This charming French restaurant is fabulously authentic. Bread, onion soup, mussels, are “best on earth”…it’s all just so damned good. The dishes will transport you to France, the sauces are over the top. Inside is cozy and warm. Sit cafe style outside with candle light, you might be in Paris.

    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.
