It looked very comfortable, just like a diner in the US. The place was hopping - it is very popular and had lots of seating. Our server was on her second day, back from 7 years in Quebec. She was very nice and made sure we got our big glass of ice with our water. We did not know the portion sizes the first time so we both ordered our own burgers. I got the hot and spicy, which the menu said had peppers on it, and my mom got the avocado cheeseburger. I got mine with just salad on the side, but my mom got half salad and half fries for no extra charge. A tiny thing of cole slaw also came with it. My burger did not have any hot peppers on it but instead some electric red sauce...and it was not very spicy. However, the meat was soooo flavorful and juicy. We ordered the burgers medium because from our experience, the French tend to overcook meat, but this came out a bit rarer than expected. We still enjoyed it more than the previous meat we had eaten. It was truly massive and we could not finish the whole thing. We returned towards the end of the week visit and split a cheeseburger the second time. The staff was once again friendly and efficient. This time we ordered the burger medium-well, and while tasty it was a bit dry. Oh well, it was still good! We also got a side of onion rings which were nothing special. This is a really great atmosphere and there is free wifi (you have to get the password from the staff). Though there were tons of people waiting for a table (and I am talking all times of night - we ate once closer to 7 PM and once closer to 10 PM), but the French never rush a meal. Our server told us to hang out, use the wifi and consider ordering a dessert "in a while." So turning the tables over for people is not a priority - very different philosophy than in the US. This is a fun place to go and if you have kids, they would love it too.

Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

They were good, but they weren't the kind of sandwiches that make you stop after the first bite and think, this is amazing. I honestly don't understand the hype. After waiting in line, I expected something truly memorable, but it turned out to be just a good sandwich, nothing more. If you happen to pass by when there's little or no queue, it's worth trying. But if there's a long line, I'd skip it and head to one of the many other excellent sandwich shops in Paris. For me, the wait simply wasn't justified.

We all got French onion soup to begin with - it was good, a bit overloaded on cheese though to my liking. But the liquid itself was tasty. I had duck confit as my main course, and it was delicious.

I had a taste and it was really, really, really bad. I don't know whose wild idea was that, but this completely ruined the dish. Honestly, if this would be my order, this would be a 3 or maybe even two star review. Good service. No recommendation here. It is Paris. There are other choices.

I read the Yelp reviews and the supposed fusion of French and Indonesian whet my appetite immediately. I usually stay away from "hotel restaurants" but decided to give it a try this time around. We were welcomed with a small basked of shrimp/fish crackers served with some sort of spicy tomato dip which tasted really good. For starters, I had the sambal (spicy shrimp paste) shrimp which was heavenly. The marinated shrimp was grilled to perfection and drizzled with some awesome sauce. My dinner date had the foie gras (why, of course) and the combination of figs, foie gras and toasted baguette slices really set the tone for the entire meal....or so I thought. Both our main course was cod fish in curry (there was a catchier name, I swear) with sticky rice. My heart sank as soon as I had the first bite of the fish. After killing it in the appetizers, I had such high hopes for the fish but the dish turned out to be as bland as plan rice - it was lukewarm, tasteless, spiceless and wasn't too good. I requested for the aforementioned spicy tomato dip in hopes that it would make the dish better but unfortunately, it did not. Ultimately, my dining experience was marred by the main course, and somewhat lack of service. Disappointing :(
