So talented. A MUST go! He's truly keeping the (my) Craft alive.

They didn't have any vegetarian dishes on the menu , but customized and made one for me - it was a little bit of everything like mushrooms , baked potatoes with seasoning , couscous and some seasonal veggies that was top notch!

Pretty good spot for a to go lunch but they aren't too good on the side orders so you basically end up with a plate of chicken and French fries.

Excellent French pastries!!! Cute decorations, each table have a stem of red rose In a vase. My boyfriend had a croissant and he absolutely love it! It was flaky and a hint of sweetness but not too much.

I was excited to find Pascal's again. I had visited the Newport location and enjoyed the food and macarons. I was not as pleased with this visit. I ordered the nicoise salad which was removed from the cold display case in a plastic to-go container and given to the kitchen. The salad was then brought out to me on a plate. The tuna was a large oblong slice with green dressing spread on top, not appetizing. And there were no green beans as mentioned on the menu. I expected a fresh and flavorful salad. What I got was a very mediocre salad. And to make matters worse, I ordered a few macarons which were dry and crumbly. Very disappointing.

finally was able to come to this place for lunch. the business hour is meant for people who work around the area. anyways, this place is as people reviewed. good food and nice atmosphere. I ordered the salmon salad and the salmon was very tender and nice. the smoked panini is also good. definitely recommend to stop by this place if you are in the area.

Love their salads!! Super charming and convenient. I haven't tried them for dinner yet but my boss says it is a great place for a glass of wine and relaxing dinner. It is on my list!

I have yet to go for breakfast or lunch, but we went for the dinner experience and had a stunning meal. There are only seven tables for the dinner service and Chef Pascal came out between courses several times to talk with all the diners which was a lovely touch. The food was as good as I've had in some of the top restaurants in New York, LA or Chicago and some of his flavor combinations were ones I hadn't tried before. Case in point was the bone marrow and escargot pairing which I simply can't wait to try again. An absolute must to consider for a special occasion meal.

I've been coming to Pascals for a little over 3 years now and am never disappointed! The soups are amazing and dairy free paired with a 1/2 panini and tropical iced tea is one of my favorite lunches. On top of the food the service is great! Gabi always goes above and beyond by remembering little details to make my visit even more enjoyable. Like remembering my 3 year old likes to drink the soup from an espresso cup and to hide my coffee horseshoe cookie separately so I don't have to share it with her Other favorites are the Coquette, quiche, fries (so good fried with rosemary), short rib sliders and the farm fresh tomatoes to purchase!
Enjoyed their Bastille Day dinner celebration and was really looking forward to it. Pascal is truly a gem and should be treasured for the rare find it is in our neck of the woods. There are many reviews of the food already on-line, so suffice to say the food was delicious and well presented. My sincere compliments to the Chef and staff. But a note to management. Organize! The pace of the three course meal was stunningly slow. Over two hours. We were seated on the 'bistro' side of the restaurant, next to the bathrooms, and the noise level was deafening. Only two tables of four shared our little space and were literally shouting at each other. This is not a direct criticism of the restaurant, as they can't control their guests exuberance, just one aspect that made the evening less than optimal. With our three course meal, we chose the $30 'wine pairing' option. Turns out "wine pairing" just means ask for red or white and they'll bring it to you. No mention of what we were drinking or why. Half way through the first course, and no wine, I went to the counter to ask that it be delivered. Forks and knives were removed and never replaced. Had to search for a fork for the second course. Dessert/cheese course was served and I literally sampled the items using my butter knife. The server was engaging and enthusiastic, but really could have used some help. All this said, the meal was amazing with VERY generous portions. However, it seems that planning a single seating event may have overwhelmed the staff. We'll certainly be back, but on a weeknight, and hopefully enjoy the ambiance of the dining room.

Pasquals is a very quaint, and wonderful true to french cusine. Gaby is an asset to your restaurant. Everytime we have come, she always has a smile on her face and the service she perfoms to her customers is delighful, and under very busy circumstaces remains patient and always again with a smile on her face. From very loyal customers, Tess and Tom Lai 7-7-18

One of my favorite places to go for breakfast. But... yesterday I had lunch there. I had the chicken with mustard sauce. OMG! I wanted to lick the plate, the sauce was so good.

We have been experiencing this wonderful dining experience since he opened the original place. Every meal has been fabulous. There is no place I can recommend more highly.

Whenever we want to celebrate a special occasion, we go to Pascal. There is no other place where we enjoy the experience of sharing an intimate meal with a supremely talented Chef. Our unhurried meals with an attentive, knowledgeable and caring staff exceeds our finest Parisian dining experiences. And personal interaction with Chef is priceless. If I could grant six stars, I would. ******
