Great bruschetta and entrees were good. Small dining room with a glass wall, intended to be for the view I’m assuming, but only sound in the dining room was everyone trying to talk over each other. Hard to have a conversation at our own table. Other than that, it was a good experience.

The food is amazing! Wouldn’t seat us because all guests hadn’t arrived! Made us go into bar downstairs which we weren’t interested in that. Then when our guests arrived asked us to wait downstairs till someone came to get us. Went upstairs anyway and the restaurant was empty! So why couldn’t we sit and have a cocktail in the restaurant and order an appetizer?? We wanted to be served when we arrived on time! Take care of the customers that show up on time! One of our guests owns a high end restaurant in Miami and was shocked the way they handled things! Customers come first!

Hi Ms. Caldwell, I'm sorry you do not agree with our policy. However it is there for several reasons. There are too many reasons to list on here but to make it short and sweet, it is very important for the flow of the restaurant and to make sure all of our customers have a great visit. What I did not know until after you left, was how you abused a member of our staff. I had to hear it from two other individuals because the young lady you were speaking down to was not willing to come forth on her own. We appreciate your review, however you are not welcomed back to our establishment.

Hands down best dining experience we have had since moving to the Northshore a couple years ago. Both service and food were outstanding. Bruschetta was super fresh and prepared perfectly for my taste. The beef tips over risotto is now on my list of top 5 Tastiest Items I’ve Ever Eaten. Everything on the menu sounded so wonderful it will be hard to pick something different next time…and there will definitely be a next time. Our server made the perfect meal even more enjoyable. Attentive but never over bearing. Warm and gracious. Thank you to the whole team for a beautiful evening. You definitely have a gem in Old Mandeville. We are looking forward to our next visit!

This was my first time going to this restaurant. The staff was very warm, attentive, and inclined to anticipate their diner’s needs. I ordered the duck confit with Brussels sprouts — which was amazing! I also ordered a cappuccino after dinner which was much better than a lot of coffee shops I’ve been to. All around it was amazing service, delicious food, and a great location. I’ll be coming back very soon!

Papillon’s is a delightful restaurant near the Mandeville Trailhead, and many of the music events. The food, staff, and total dining experience are too good to miss. Dr. Joseph F. O’Neil Mandeville, Louisiana
