    I came on a Wednesday night 30 mins after opening with no reservation, so I didn't expect for there to be a table available. The restaurant was indeed busy when I arrived, and yet I was seated right away! I was given a seat next to the restroom, so perhaps a reservation would've allowed for a better seat. Nonetheless, I was given equal attention by the kind server as other guests, whom were a healthy mix of Parisians (like the person who recommended the restaurant to me). I received bread prior to the meal that I didn't try given that I was saving room for the main course. I ordered the famed " Filet de Bœuf au Poivre de Sarawak avec frites maison ". Given how busy the place was, I was very surprised when I was served within what felt like 10 minutes. Whenever I order steak, I always leave the cook of the meat up to the chef. I was right to have done so: it was cooked beautifully! I was pleasantly surprised by how soft it was without it being so rare. The sauce was yummy, and definitely peppery. Maybe too peppery? Yet again, this was also my first steak au poivre, so I'd take my opinion on that with a grain of salt. The fries were thicker than what I've had in other establishments, but were still enjoyable and went well with the sauce. Nonetheless, I cleared the plates. Although I wasn't being rushed, I was in and out within one hour of being seated (which is golden for a New Yorker like myself). All in all, I had a lovely experience, and see why it is so popular!

    So on my 2nd trip to Paris (7 years since my first visit) my wife and I were able to get a walk-in seating. I had been looking forward to coming back since my first time because of a tomato salad I had there the first time. It was life changing. But they changed it and it wasn't nearly as good this time. It had no cucumbers or onions this time. And it had dollops of olive tapenade on it. I don't like olives so I maneuvered around those. But it just did not taste like i remembered. We both got the steak - frites for our mains and that was fine. I have to mention that the frites were the best I had on the trip. 1/2 inch batons that were perfectly crisp and fluffy interior and great flavor. I suspect they were fried in duck fact or tallow. It put any fries I've had in the US to shame. We cancelled our soufflé for dessert because we were just too full. I've attached pics of the 2017 version and the current 2024 version of the tomato salad.

    Very good food and service. The creamy poivre sauce with the steak was amazing. Save room for the soufflé! The servers were friendly, attentive, helpful and very efficient. Pro tip- you have to call for reservations, but they do save a few tables for walk-ins on the patio if you get there at opening time (7:30PM usually) first come first served. The patio has a nice ambiance and I think was better than inside since it was a nice evening. Also, don't ask for an English menu as they don't have them. First timers just get the steak. Or use google translate, or the server will help you with a selection. They don't take Amex so plan for that.

    My lovely bride and I were first in line at noon on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. We didn't have reservations, but we were lucky. We had the absolute best steak au poivre and steak frites ever. For dessert my bride had the ile flottante and I enjoyed the Crème Caramel. The desserts are generously portioned and incredibly delicious. Service is prompt, pleasant, and professional. Highly recommended!
