    We were looking for a unique restaurant close to I-75, for the drive home from St. Petersburg to Naples. How fortunate that we found Mademoiselle Paris. The escargot was some of the best we’ve had, and the duck breast was absolute perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, and made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Highly recommend.
