The service and food is always 10 out of 10! The raviolis as appetizer are a perfect start. The tough part is sharing! This gem is the best!
The French onion soup and the bread they give you was phenomenal. I would come back just for those two items. The entrees were also good. My only Comment is this is a long dining experience, don't come if you are in a rush.
So we went here to celebrate 9 years of my brother's and Sil wedding anniversary. It's our first time and was worth it. Always make a reservation ahead of time. Ambiance is very romantic, solemn, average noise and informal. 5/5. All of the staff are very pleasant, apologetic, polite and they don't rush you. 6/5. As a very small, independent business that has been open for over 30+ years. You have to be discreet, polite but vibe is casual. You have to be enjoying yourself but not be boisterous of your conversations. Food and menu is special at that night. The appetizers and main course entrees are spectacular. We ordered the following: Escargot with parsley garlic sauce - 5/5. Very garlicky, easy to chew and eat. Provencal grilled frog legs -5/5 - very good and perfectly grilled. Taste like chicken. Seafood wellington - Not the best! 2.8/5. Roasted duck breast with peaches, roasted vegetables - perfectly cooked. I loved it! Simple but refined in taste. 5/5. Beef wellington - my brother said it was way off, and shortcut to cook it fast like 35 minutes. Not good like 2.9/5. He said the sauce was missing something. Desserts are homemade. The manager comped us 2 desserts for the long wait times. We came here hungry! They were serving a banquet at the other private function room. They said they didn't expect it. However they were busy on a Saturday. First time. We might be going back to try again to celebrate my brother and sil's wedding anniversary. We give them another chance! Restrooms are clean. A lot of famous people throughout the ages.
Wonderful atmosphere, super delucious food, amazing serverwe had no idea this restaurant is so close to us. Will be repeat customers for sure. We had the Crispy Brussel Sprouts (a must), French Onion soup (so good), Beef Wellington (we decided we didn't wanna share our dish this time & glad we could enjoy our fill of this delicious tender fillet) portions were quite large, but we had to have Creme Brûlée & the Cheesescake for dessert & so glad we did!
Phenomenal dining experience!! Great food and service. Bread was soft and good, almost like a Dutch crunch. Calamari appetizer was a little small but was excellent with the lobster bisque. Lobster ravioli were like dumplings filled with chunks of lobster meat and covered with lobster bisque as a sauce. Caesar salad was great, definitely could tell dressing was fresh and made in house. Beef short rib was great. Scallops were cooked to perfection. Petrale sole, fish special was excellent. All food was just fantastic. The server was on point and kept us informed, even though the kitchen got backed up. Everything was otherwise excellent.
Amazing food, and atmosphere! Pricey, but worth it. Recommend lobster, ravioli, and the chicken cordon bleu.
Me and my wife celebrated our wedding anniversary at Papillon. We booked our dinner online and made our reservation at 5:30 am. They have ample parking space and you'll not miss the big sign in front of their restaurant. Once we checked in, we were immediately seated at our table. The place is nostalgic and the ambiance is quiet and pleasant for a romantic dinner. Since they just opened, we saw only a few patrons. The menu has a lot of options and this place is very famous for its steak, fillet mignon, classic beef Wellington, ribeye, rack of lamb, short ribs, salmon, etc. All of the items from their menu are highly recommendable. For starters, we ordered their crispy tempura calamari and their house salad. We also had their Blue Paradise Margarita and Tequila Sunrise. For our main course, we ordered the Grilled ANGUS RIBEYE in Marinade of Olive Oil, Roasted Peppers, Basil, and Roasted Garlic Puree, served with Sautéed Garlic Mushrooms and Grilled ATLANTIC SALMON with Hero Potato Puree, Warm Spinach, and Cranberry Reduction. While waiting for our orders, we were served with their warm bread. The calamari was fresh and good. The salad was just served right and the dressing was good. The margarita and Tequiela were the perfect alcohol for the night. And finally, the main course was perfect. The ribeye was soft and tender and the Salmon was fresh and delicious. The portions were huge and were cooked the way we wanted. The meal was so huge that we didn't have any more space for desserts. However, when they found out that we were celebrating our anniversary, they presented us with a nice piece of cake with all the trimmings around a plate with an anniversary message. They were so thoughtful and made our anniversary special. The owner, Charlie, approached our table and greeted us on our anniversary. He told us the story of how the restaurant started and how long they've been in the business. With the great service they provided and the excellent food they provided, I would see them prospering for another decade. This was not our first time celebrating our anniversary here and we see ourselves celebrating more anniversary at this place.
We had a great time there, good food, great service, friendly staffs and good vibe. We ordered appetizers escargots, mushroom ravioli and frog legs, all were great except the frog legs was a bit soggy. For entrée, we had Chicken Cordon Bleu, it was very flavorful with crab sauce. Their house salad was awesome with green apple and walnut. We wrapped up our day with the special dessert liquored cherries with vanilla ice cream. It's a pleasant meal.
