The food was AMAZING, the Croque Madame delicious, Ladies Who Lunch salad was super size and stellar, Spanish octopus so flavorful! Our server was really great and cheerful.

Listening to MC Hammer and Billy Idol whilst I try to enjoy a Parisian lunch just didn't set the right atmosphere at all. A little French Cafe music please!
