Very good drink and music. The only downside is that they charge 17% plus drink fees. Pleasant environment.

Place looks so nice inside but when you walk in, it smells like ketchup and looks like a warehouse.

This place looks so nice outside, but it's not inside. They got my order wrong after I waited a long time for the food. I would never go back to a place that smells like catch up.

So much fun and good food. We went in December and the decorations were beautiful. A spot I would go every year at that time.

Great after work spot in midtown with bomb appetizers. I love the calamari because I'm a fried food addict. If you need a spot for a happy hour, go here. The upstairs is really cool too.

Just like their drinks, this place is FIRE!!! Maria was behind the bar tonight. She is a great bartender and made my night so much fun. One could say, she really "fired" up my night . The atmosphere is so nice. It is a place you can take someone when you are still trying to figure out their taste preferences. They have a variety of wines, beers, cocktails, and old fashioned. The food is also reasonably priced so you won't break the bank. The Tuna Tartare was very good. After a careful analysis between the two old fashioned James Dean (sweet smoke) If you are slowly diving into the realm of old fashioned, this is perfect for you. With a much lighter kick with the same buzz, this is that "sweet emotion" you have been looking for. This drink will be your "TNT" and rock you like AC/DC. This drink comes ON FIRE. Literally! See my attached video to see for yourself. Humphrey Bogart (Smokey) This drink is a living interpretation of the song "Highway To Hell". You know this drink will rock your world with your very first sip. Powerful, full bodied... it's as if the drink can talk. What it said to me was "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane". And that drink rocked my world. I would highly recommend this spot to all my millennials out there. This place is more of a sophisticated drink spot. I will be back.

We had high expectations for this restaurant, but the food is very tasteless and the French influence is not appreciated, despite having beautiful facilities and French decoration, the price is not in line with the quality of the food, the drinks are delicious and the service is very efficient.

Had lunch with a gf @ upstairs bar and really enjoyed it. The bar tender was ? so pleasant and kind. He actually created the bar menu's (made into a butterfly with a sku) so cool. Check it out!

Came here after work with a friend during the holidays and it did not disappoint! Absolutely beautiful decor as soon as you step in.It's easier to get in and get a table for two mid week than on the weekend as it requires reservations during the holiday season.The server was amazing. And the food I just loved! They crisped the skin of the salmon just right! Never had it served like this before. It was paired well with the risotto. Loved my drinks as well.

I've been visiting this establishment since it was a Thai place over 15 years ago. The location is fantastic, the food is solid, the decor is great, but in reality, Papillion is really at its best as a spot to meet for an after work drink.

My absolute go to place in midtown. Charming and cozy. Great environment. Nice after work bar crowd. Lively, yet a perfect place for dining upstairs in the dining area where its quiet and intimate. Menu is basic but food is good. Service and staff are the best in the business. So friendly and accommodating.
