Nice cute street seating, watermelon special was great, really like their Greek salads. Brunch was more average but still a good place.

I felt like we were in Paris for the night. Very cute and authentic French restaurant with especially good seafood! We had a small baby with us and they were so nice about it

Good food. Seafood risotto was excellent. Beef bourgingon was good, not great. Excellent espresso martini. Prices are very moderate.

I have many fond memories of this restaurant, as my father was a cook here. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is consistently delicious, and the staff are exceptionally kind. I’m truly grateful for the memories this place holds, and I look forward to visiting again one day. Thank you for creating such a special experience.

I was surprised to see that one can still find a restaurant (Pascalou) in the City that offers excellent food and service at very reasonable prices. I had mussels in white wine sauce, lobster ravioli, and Grand Marnier soufflé. They were all delicious. Portion sizes are huge. Four of us had apéritifs and shared a bottle of lovely French wine. Including a generous and well deserved tip we paid just over $100 per person. I recommend you stay in the main floor, upstairs is a bit too tight.

I stopped by today in the rain for what I thought would be a quick bite. The lunch turned out to be one of the best I have ever had, and I lived many years in Paris. The carrot soup was incredible and a simple croque madam was sublime.

front door is open, so if you dine in first floor, there can be a cigarette smell. but expect that, everything is good.

Food was fantastic but they’ve gotta hire more people for dinner service cuz service was slow and it wasn’t the servers fault.

Small French theme restaurant with decent price. My appetizer is mango pear and prosciutto is pathetic. The presentation is so bad , I can do it myself at home, they cut fruit in big slices and place on top of a bed of lettuce, prosciutto on top. No sauce no nothing, and it wasnt cheap, $20ish, “Bro i can do it myself at home better than this”. But I love the main entrees duck breast and lamb chop, well seasoned, tender with amazing sauce. I like the Italian red wine too. Our raspberry melba is great, fun texture.

Review: We had an incredibly shocking experience at Pascalou on February 7th at 5:30 PM. Upon arrival, the staff first claimed they couldn’t find our reservation, then suddenly changed their story, saying there was a "mistake" and our reservation was actually for 6:30 PM. Despite this mix-up on their end, they told us that since we were "too early," we could only have a table for one hour (5:30–6:30 PM) because they had "so many people" coming—yet the restaurant was nearly empty, with only one occupied table.

When we questioned the reasoning, they dismissively said, "You don’t need more than an hour for drinks anyway," and "the longer you talk, the more time we were wasting from the reservation". At that point, we decided to leave.

I have never encountered such rude and unprofessional staff. Their attitude was dismissive and condescending, and the lack of basic customer service was appalling.
