  This was our first place of dining in Paris. We were quickly seated and our server was attentive to us.
  
  The food came pretty quick. I wanted to get a drink of sprite. They said they had a drink called limonade. I said ok, i'll take that.
  
  It was amazing.
  
  I had a margarita pizza, the wife had some beef. We ordered crème brûlée  for dessert.
  
  She enjoyed it, I enjoyed it. It was a soft crust and the ambience was nice.
  
  The desert left a little to be desired in comparison to the other desserts we've had but it still is a nice place to go.

  I was not impressed.
  
  I came with a friend while I was visiting Paris. I am an adventurous eater and love a good wine. I was so excited to be back in Paris where the food is as great as the people watching.
  
  My previous experience in Paris was fantastic. The people were friendly and I had so much fun. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
  
  I totally understand that I'm not a native French speaker and my French is pretty terrible but I do try to speak the language. Patience goes a long way - this waiter had none. My friend and I walked up to have a table for two. The man could legit not be bothered with us. We got a table and he had someone else serve us. Now my friend has been living in Paris for about eight months and his French is decent. We were ready to order wine and the other person also, could not be bothered. We ordered wine and a pizza. That pizza took what may have been a three star review to two stars. Like, it was pretty awful. I seriously think I just ate bread with a couple tomatoes on top.
  
  Overall, I've been far better places in Paris so this is not the one for me.

  worst restaurant in the world. The food is disgusting, the prices are a big joke, the staff is horrible... several cases of verbal and physical violence by the staff have been identified ! to avoid ! close this restaurant !!!! You can have a much better experience in Paris. Trust me.

  My Mom and I came here to have a drink and a bite while waiting to check into our hotel.
  Ines took such great care of us. She was a doll. I had the burger and fries and my Mom had a pizza. Both were delicious! I appreciate the little things, like I could tell the ketchup and mayonnaise were fresh out of the cooler. (Yeah, I like to dip my fries in mayonnaise; like my father used to do) And my draft Guinness was ice cold.
  We stopped back by a couple days later and Ines came out to greet us with a kiss on the cheeks.
  Tonight was our last night in Paris so we went by for one last drink and Clément took care of us. He was just as attentive and lovely.
  I will miss Paris and this wonderful place.

  This lovely establishment broke a two-year fast from Paris, and we remembered here why we love the city so much:
  
  1. KIR. No one makes it at home. I can't understand why. It's the perfect pre-dinner cocktail: not too sweet, not too strong, just enough to heighten the appetite.
  
  2. Salads. It may seem strange to talk about salad in the land of double-cream cheese and stewed beef, but after too much processed food on the plane (stupid Americans = can't turn anything down) we wanted something light and fresh, and we all ordered salads: piles of gorgeous, fresh greens, dressed ever so lightly in the standard mustard vinaigrette and topped with an array of well-chosen ingredients. My husband's came with creamy cheese and country ham; our friend's with shrimp, grapefruit and tomato; and mine with chèvre toasts and nuts. It was a lovely, satisfying meal, perfect for a re-introduction to French cuisine.
  
  3.  Service: our waiter was skilled in the art of being helpful but not chummy. His gentle humor and deference to our choice of language (we love French but are still beginners) are the norm here.
  
  4. Ambience: No wonder the word is French in origin! Even a humble corner cafe like this one boasted huge windows and the hum of steady and lively conversation. I didn't mind the soundtrack of American pop, but would have preferred just the voices; thankfully, they kept it low.
  
  5. Time: granted, I only visit Paris while on vacation, but even so I feel there is more room to breathe here than anywhere else. We didn't feel a bit rushed when ordering, eating, paying or leaving. "Comme vous voulez," as they say here: as you like. Such a nice way to live.
