Papillon Bistro & Bar Reviews
After waiting hour and half and finding out 4-6 tour buses have a contract with you, that can go before the waiting,outside customers..I find this unfair practice. We could not even go to the bar, no one was allowed in, even after the 1130 opening time,until 1230, we left! Change your idea of maybe having reservations.
we were one of the first customers. our waiter only came to our table about 4 times. we told her the hot chocolate was not hot and flavorless. she did nothing about it. 2 meals came out like 15 min after we ordered. the other 2 like 40 min. we finished and had to ask other servers like 4 times for our check while our waiter just stood around. food was OK nothing special deserts were great.
This multi level French brasserie caught our eye by sheer luck! I love the beautiful entrance to the restaurant very colorful. They have a full bar service and a live opera on Saturday nights. Our server Jorge G. Was so helpful and engaging. I think he sensed it was our time here! We ordered the seared salmon and croque monsieur and truffle fries because why not!

Papillon Bistro & Bar is a popular midtown spot known for its stunning decor and lively atmosphere. The restaurant features fun decorations that change with the seasons, adding a unique touch to the dining experience. The menu offers a variety of options, including calamari, steak, and tuna tartare, with reasonably priced dishes. While some customers have found the food to be okay, the overall atmosphere and decorations are often praised. The bar is a highlight, with a great selection of drinks, including old fashioned cocktails. The bartenders are skilled and friendly, enhancing the experience. However, service can be inconsistent, with some guests reporting long waits and limited attention. The upstairs area remains a great spot to relax and socialize. Papillon Bistro & Bar continues to be a solid choice for happy hour or date night, appealing to those looking for something enjoyable.
