Took my mom here for her 77th birthday and was so happy it was still decorated for Christmas, what a beautiful sight! The food and drinks were amazing and the cost for 4 of us was reasonable! Would definitely come back to Papillon Bistro and Bar when I visit NYC!

We LOVED The Harold. One of us had the French onion soup, and burger with truffle fries. The French onion soup was amazing and looked like it belonged in a French cookbook. The burger was great, but not something you can really eat as is unless you smush it down or deconstruct it. The truffle fries were yummy. The other of us had the cobb salad with chicken, and it was so great! The servers were fun and happy. We loved everything about this restaurant and will definitely be going back.

Vibes are cozy and upscale. The food was delicious, unfortunately some of the cocktails were a bit off/not to our liking, but the wine choices were fantastic and the waiter was quick to make a swap. The team at Jeans made my birthday party extra special with a champagne toast at the end of the night! Thanks all - can't wait to come back!
