    Everything is fresh and so flavorful. The miso salmon is delicious and the garlic butter prawns. We enjoyed the steak and pork as well. You can’t miss their dumplings. Try the mousse trio as a finale! You will never be disappointed here.

    First time at this location. We are wine club members and had the opportunity to be waited on by two very good employees in training, one at the wine counter and the other at our table. Both were very knowledgeable and very helpful. We will definitely return to this location again soon for fantastic wine and food!

    Living In suburban NYC most of my life and working in NYC for 40+ years I know good American-version Italian food. This is really really authentic, large portions, with wonderful attentive service. Glad we only live 7 minutes away. We will be back often.

    Sublime weather had us dining outside. We were both adventurous so we tried something we hadn’t at this restaurant: the eggplant appetizer and the beef bourguignon. Both were superb! While I missed having the truffle risotto, the eggplant was hearty, and both portions large enough to make a lovely leftover lunch. We of course started with the escargot which is the best in town. Eat local and enjoy a really superb meal at Mademoiselle Paris.
