    We really enjoyed Papille Gustative! The vegan risotto was delicious. The only recommendation I’d give to the restaurant is to create more of the outside ambiance inside. The live music outside was really nice, but the music inside didn’t really suite the vibe and the lights were really bright. All being said, we’ll absolutely return as the service was delightful and the food was delicious.

    Always enjoyable - the food presentation, the use of locally sourced ingredients and farm to table emphasis. And did I say truly delicious!

    Unfortunately even tho I booked a table and kept getting reminders from Open Table, when I went to eat, the restaurant was closed! I don’t know if that is the restaurant’s fault or Open Table’s reservation system or both. But it was very disappointing! This is the second time I booked and the restaurant was closed.

    I ordered a Thanksgiving dinner for two people and pre-Paid it. After we were seated, it took a long time to get a server. No water on the table, had to ask for everything, including our starter and when that came, half of the order was not put on the table so they went back and brought it. When it came time for our main course of two salmon meals, they said they were out of salmon. We are vegetarian, so we substituted fettuccine that came to the table ice cold. Dessert was fine. The main waiter said that the owner was comping us the meal, including the Hungarian wine that he kept refilling. Something was really wrong, and we were not notified about what it was. Somehow, I suspect the chef did not show up. It was a laughable memory, but not a good one food wise. Wish they had been honest with us. Will wait and see if they credited my credit card for about $165.
