  Great customer service. The drinks are made great and the food is mediocre. However the staff was so professional and attentive that it made the dining experience and food that much better.

  GREAT SERVICE, DELICIOUS FOOD.
  
  This trip i had two meals - one lunch, and one dinner at the brasserie as i could not go too far given the strikes in Paris.  I also had two breakfasts at the hotel, upstairs where they normally have a fancy 2 michelin star restaurant at nights.
  
  Brasserie - Fantastic.  Both times at the Brasserie, Elisa served me as last year. Highly attentive and professional.  
  
  French onion soup fabulous and different from most places.
  Steak tartar, a must.
  Cheese plate, lovely.
  Desserts, fabulous.
  Everything good.
  
  Looking forward to my next trip in a few months.

  Modern twist on the traditional Parisian brasserie next to Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. Food was delicious and good service made a very enjoyable dinner.

  Worst meal I have ever had in Paris.  Perhaps the worst dining experience I have ever had in my life.  I write this in the hopes that no one else has to have the same experience I have had.
  
  I am a vegetarian.  When making the reservation, IN FRENCH by a FRENCH speaking person, they asked if they had vegetarian options, which they said yes to.  When confirming the reservation, she double checked if they did.  They, again, said yes.
  
  We arrive and, of course, there are no vegetarian options.  That's okay, I understand that a lot of people in Europe think that vegetarians eat fish.  I am easy: I will order a salad verte, pomme frites, and just veggies for dinner.  This is what a male waiter suggested.
  
  Of course, he ended up not being our waiter.  I had someone order for me in French because I was having a rough day in general (not sleeping, American election came in, hadn't eaten since morning, etc...) to make sure we got it right.  Speaking enough French, I specified to the waitress "juste salad verte".  
  
  Well, they dimmed the lights in the restaraunt to make it more intimate.  The one great thing about this place: the ambiance.  The place has been remodeled and is full of mirrors making the place seem bigger than it is.  I almost felt transported back into the 1920s, however, that's about where the magic ended.
  
  I saw what looked to be frites and a salad going to another table and was pretty excited to eat, seeing that the frites a la carte looked so good.  
  
  My salad verte arrived with everyone else's entrees and was just plopped down in front of me with no explanation of what it was (and by someone who didn't know who's food was who's).  That's fine, I read before on Yelp that the service here was not so great.  However, something striked me as odd: they took someone else's salad and examined it, then put it back down on the table.
  
  My salad consisted of butter lettuce, but the more I ate the more I realized that something was wrong.  One, there was no dressing on the lettuce.  Two, it was very bitter.  The salad had what appeared to be beets, onions, and cucumber.  The cucumber was so bitter and I couldn't figure out why.  I tried a beet, and yes, it was a beet.  So I took a nice big bite and realized the onions weren't onions, and couldn't figure out what it was.
  
  Yes, they accidentally gave me tartare.  As someone who is a vegetarian, this was a horrible experience.  I was in such a horrible mood that I couldn't even stop to tell them they had given me the wrong meal (we were at a business dinner and I didn't want to make a scene).  What's worse is that they realized they had given me a tartare and whispered about it with each other when they took my plate.  No apology was offered.
  
  My vegetables had sand in them and I left the night very hungry.  It may seem dumb to others, but I went to the bathroom and cried.  My day was bad but this was the straw that broke the camels back.  I cannot believe that a dining experience could make me feel this bad, but it did.  Not only was I served the wrong thing, but I also just felt disrespected by the staff who paid no mind to making our table feel great and instead focussed on a large party next to us.
  
  TO THE MAN WHO GOT MY SALAD VERTE:  I am sorry that you ended up with my salad verte, but to be honest, it was also the most unappetizing plate of tartare I have ever seen in my life, and you dodged a bullet with this one.  I hope my salad tasted good.

  Worst service we have had in Paris . Waited 1 hour 20 minutes for main course. And watery soup was 18 Euros!
