    We were staying across the street at the Libertel, so it was very tempting to just cross the street…read moreand dine. This is a very popular spot in a busy area so if you're wanting to eat here on a weekend you better have reservations or you'll definitely be stuck in a long queue. The atmosphere is lively but not crazy and the food is excellent. We split the prime rib cooked Medium (which results in Med Rare in Paris) . It was wonderful and the included potatoes were crispy yet fluffy and nicely seasoned. We finished with the panacota which was very creamy and rich. The service was excellent as well. Bon appetit!

    was recommended Pink Mamma by 2 of my friends. I'd say it's a tourist spot but I love the area it's…read morein, I was staying a 5 min walk away so it was perfect. I'm not sure how much locals love this place but the food was great. I made a last minute reservation day of and was able to snag a table. It gets booked up, I ended up staying at the bar because my friend couldn't make it. The hostess was sweet and gave me the option between table or bar either way. I had 2 rounds of their passion fruit (pornstar) martini and it was perfect. Not too sweet. I had the carbonara, cacio e pepe hybrid pasta and I loved it! The flavor was there and I paired it with their salami plate. Next time, I'll come back to try the truffle pasta. I loved the decor. When you walk in, it says not a strip club ln the ground. They have plenty of seating arrangements but I came closer to when they were ending service.

    Not sure how to rate here. I'll ponder as I write…read more Let's start with the good. And when I say "good," I mean GREAT. The food here is magnificent. Top shelf. Every single thing we ate (and there were many things) was mind-blowingly delicious. There were cocktails (and mocktails!): a Last Word (Monkey 47 gin, Green Chartreuse, Luxardo, lime) for him and a Golden Pear mocktail for me. Both were outstanding and we each had two. We had the Beefy Bravas--a mille feuille potato topped with beef tartare and caviar--the Tobiko Crab Salad, and the Thai Salad (with seared toro, it's easily the best Thai papaya salad I've ever had). All were bonkers awesome. For our meat course, the husband got the Wagyu Picanha (all evidence points to it being a remarkable piece of beef) and I got the veal filet. The veal was one of the tenderest, most delicious pieces of meat I've ever eaten. The haricots beets we got as a side were crisp and sweet, and the pommes purées were otherworldly (complimentary). This is where the good part stops. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fine. But it was HOT. It is unusually hot in Paris this week but it was stifling inside the restaurant. But we could have dealt with that (the food was that good). The really disappointing part, however, was the service. We waited 20 minutes for anyone to ask if we wanted drinks (the restaurant was not crowded) and another 25 for someone to ask if we wanted to order. For context, a couple who arrived 10-15 minutes after us got a bottle of wine and their first course before the server--the same server for both tables--ever came to take our order. And it was like that throughout the meal. It's a shame, too, because the meal was exceptional otherwise. The service was bad enough that we won't return.
