    Reservation 8:30pm and was seated right away. Waiter warned us that with the holiday, that the kitchen and bar was really backed up and would take a while. Ordered right away. Beverages came right out but food came out at almost 10pm. Food was meh. Server checked in on us often and apologized non stop for the slow kitchen. We sat outside. Enjoyed the gorgeous night and time together and fortunately we weren’t starving so it didn’t cause any real distress. Was a good crowd. Valentine’s Day dinner but shocked the kitchen was so overwhelmed. If we had been hangry the experience would have ruined our date night. Not sure I’d go back for those reasons. But we had a great night nonetheless. 💓

    Great food and atmosphere as usual, it was Valentines Day, so a little hectic. Server was friendly and attentive, we asked for bread twice to server and once to busboy until it was finally served. Meal came and waitress asked for anytime else and we asked for butter for potatoes, but we never received it. Those things will not stop us from continuing to eat there though

    Paris Bistrot has never failed to please us. We have been several times and truly enjoyed it. It's one of very few "go to" restaurants. Went for Valentine's, and as expected, it was great. Reservations were managed perfectly.
