Last night, my girlfriends and I visited Parts of Paris for dinner. Initially, we were having such a great time, enjoying the drinks, food, and each other's company. However, about 30 minutes into our meal, the owner approached our table and shushed us. It was shocking and completely uncalled for, especially considering the lively atmosphere of the restaurant. Upon reflection, it became apparent that we were the only brown-skinned patrons in the establishment. It's disheartening to think that we may have been targeted because of our race. Discrimination has no place in any establishment, and it's deeply disappointing to have experienced it here. I hope the management takes steps to ensure that all patrons are treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their race or ethnicity.

This is the perfect spot to start and end a Safety Harbor third Friday night. The overall vibe is fancy casual. If you’re expecting things like scraping crumbs or exchanging silverware between courses, you won’t find it here. But the food is solid, you’ll step out into the middle of Main Street after dinner, and it’s the best late night bar downtown.The escargot was delicious, but don’t send away your bread service when it comes, cause the crostinis that came with it were stale. The ribs appetizer was full of flavor and fell off the bone.I’m a sucker for a duck confit with orange marmalade, so when I saw a Gran Marnier duck on the menu I HAD to try it, and it lived up to everything I was hoping it would be. The cognac gave it a sweetness upfront and warm aftertaste that warmed my soul.The salmon with cream sauce on lentils was super light before a night out, but didn’t leave me wishing I got a heavier dish for more flavor. It had an addictive quality that makes you keep coming back for bites, even if you’re stuffed.We returned after a walk down Main Street for dessert and I had one of the best crème brûlées I’ve had in a long time. The custard was SO thick and rich, complemented perfectly by their creamy espresso martini. If you’re looking for a fruity tart dessert instead, the crepe Suzette with a French 75 will cool you down on a hot summer night.

Our server was fantastic. Very kind and helpful. Very good food, too. This restaurant is a unique experience that I don’t think you can find anywhere else in the Tampa Bay Area.

Business must be good. Stood at the front of the business by the menu’s for 10 minutes and although we saw at least 2 people that worked there, they not so much as acknowledged us. We were invisible. We never put negative reviews out there but it was pretty pathetic that we were not even acknowledged as a potential customer. We are in our early 60’s, and were cleaned up to go out for supper. Owned our own business so we know how to treat customers.

Ate at bar. Excellent service; bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly. Great jazz music curated by the owner. Everything was good but the duck co.nfit was a bit on the dry side. We had a wonderful night there.

Less than stellar experience tonight. Escargots were burnt so we sent back. Second round was very good. Side green salads were fresh and tasty. Filets tasted good, but were cold and dry. Seems they were fired early and held while escargots appetizer was repaired. Bernaise sauce was terrible. Solid and congealed with no true flavor. Replaced with peppercorn sauce which was good. Also, Open Table menu shows more offerings than actual menu presented... this needs to be fixed.

The food was ok. We ordered French onion soup and it came to our table black. The cheese was obviously burnt and for such a high end restaurant to deliver it to our table in that condition was outrageous. My salmon was a little over cooked. We also had the escargot and duck confit which was fine. The waiter was very friendly and apologetic for what had happened. As a result he bought us one dessert.
Took my wife here for our wedding Anniversary as she is French and I know missing classics from her own country. We ended up ordering 6 appetizers and 2 main plates as the food was so good! Highly recommend the lamb chops and duck, they were prepared so well! Service was great and the restaurant has tons of charm. We will be back again soon!

After hours drinks! Martinis are among the best. Great small plates and late night specials. Always a great choice for a romantic meal. Need reservations.
