    We arrived at 11:30. The waiter gave us lots of time to order. I had the special, which was a quiche with Brie , mushroom and bacon. It was excellent. We were not rushed and I was pleased as I was with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. She had the croissant breakfast special which she also enjoyed. Plates were a perfect size !

    Excellent experience. Filet w/ Cognac sauce entree was excellent. My wife got the pork parmesan and that was also delicious. We got a bottle of wine and 4 starters and the bill was less than $150. Delicious and good value!!

    Our dining experience at Paris Bistrot was superb. I had White Fish Florentine & my husband had Cod Nicoise. Not to be missed! We came so my husband could have the escargot and they too did not disappoint. The service, the ambiance are just like being in France. Thanks for a great evening.

    Last night's dinner with friends was exceptional! From the ambience to the service to the food, everyone had a wonderful time! Our friends who were there for the first time said they will definitely return, as we will too! (We go there often for Sunday Brunch but hadn't been there for dinner in a long time!)

    We had four different dishes and all were very good - fish florentine, fish marseillaise, duck, and beef bourguignon. Some of the best meals we have had in this area. Service was efficient and unobtrusive, and the restaurant was full but not too noisy. This is the way you want to have a nice dinner out with friends.
