I was excited to try one of the growing selection of French restaurants in the Greater Cleveland area. Beautiful setting, reasonably attentive service, but the Ceasar salad was soaked in mediocre dressing with no trace of anchovy, and the croutons were drenched to the point of being soft.
Despite the waiter encouraging us that the beef stroganoff was the new staff favorite, the perfectly spiced sauce on top of quality beef with al dente egg noodles was marred by the 40 minute wait for the dish which was served lukewarm at best, and definitely not hot. We waited too long for the dish to send it back, I don't know how they managed to bring it out to us barely lukewarm, but that's what happened. I hate to say it, but it was a fairly disappointing first visit.
I will try it again , (and of course we didn't short the wait staff on their tip because it was clearly the kitchen's problem).
Perhaps this is just a matter of working out the kinks in a new place. I'm going to give it a couple of months and then try it again hoping that they've worked out these kinks because it looks like it will be an excellent venue, once they can manage to serve hot food in a reasonable period of time. The wait staff did their best, but if the kitchen doesn't have it together , the wait staff can't make up for it.

I have been here many times since opening and I am blown away everytime I try something new. From my first visit the food, service, and atmosphere have always been incredible. The ambiance is a classy casual. I would go everyday for the French onion soup alone. The happy hour is one of my favorites. Also a good late night spot to stop for a bite.
Cannot recommend this place more

Disappointing. My wife and I have been to Paris several times and had high hopes, but had a host of errors presented that will keep us from returning, other than perhaps cocktails and the bread service. My wife was served medium-well steak frites when medium-rare had been requested. When the steak was replaced, it was flopped on the plate in a manner not quite to the level of Outback. Not what you expect for more than $50. My trout was similarly overcooked. I often emphasize to a server how I would like my fish cooked, but thought that it would not be necessary here. Sadly and greatly mistaken. My haricot verts were not something that had been cooked fresh for my order, but had clearly been sitting around a while, getting limp and damp. It was not a busy evening, and we could see the cooks standing around, so it is really just a lack of skill or a lack of care at work. Not again for us.

The menu has changed since I last went, so what i wanted to order was not on the menu. They basically took half the menu and made it different weeknight specials. Loved the grand bread service and French onion soup is a flavor bomb. Steak was overcooked and my piece was extra fatty, even for a ribeye, which was disappointing because it was a premium price, thus the 4 stars. Server was good, but I couldn't hear her over the bartenders shaking drinks as we were the closest table to the bar. Seems weird as we were only a 4 top, but I asked her to repeat, and still couldn't hear her. Other than that, she was good as she took a drink off our bill because it wasn't made correctly. If you like Pistachio, the Pistachio cake was to die for. If I go back, it will be for happy hour, because what I wanted to order is on the happy hour menu.

Entree was sea bass and it was a generous portion and perfectly cooked. My wedge salad was a wilted mess the romaine was drenched in blue cheese dressing- almost inedible. At 6 pm two entrees were sold out leaving less choices. The bread board with cheese and meat was a very nice extra. Our waitress forgot our friends drink order after being reminded twice. No one picked up our dirty salad dishes or the bread board when the entrees arrived so we had to make a pile and push them to the side. Overall tho. It wasnt exceptional in any way, I would give this another try. Very casual atmosphere. Room was hot and there were a lot of flies.

Two happy hours nightly Monday through Thursday. Food is excellent. I'd like to give 5 stars for service, as it may have not been a reflection on the restaurant but rather people showing up with out reservations, another server would have helped the servers who were working. I went on a busy Thursday night on a warm sunny day so that there were patrons inside and outside on the patio.

Absolutely loved our time here! We had the filet and the sea bass with bread service. We also had the cheesecake for dessert. This place did not disappoint! Just incredible. We’ll be back soon!
So disappointed by the multiple mistakes they made. 1. The onion soup was served without the cheese on top. My husband asked our server if the cheese was missed. Our server seemed very puzzled until we showed him an onion soup photo in Google that their restaurant served before. Then he picked the soup back to the kitchen to fix it. It was so surprising that the server and the one who sent out the soup did not know what a onion soup supposed to look like. 2. When the soup was back, the server spilled some soup out of the bowl. As everyone knows, the onion soup is boiling hot, we are thankful that he didn't spill the whole bowl. It is extremely dangerous if the server is not confident to handle the extreme hot dish. 3. The server didn't ask my husband how the veal should be cooked when taking order. After awhile, my husband remembered he missed specfying it and told the server the veal should be cooked as medium rare. He said yes, but finally the dish came out as well done. 4. The server checked with us extremely briefly to see if the food is ok because only husband heard his question and I didn't. 5. The server suggested if I share the main course with my daughter, they can help split the dish. Finally the dish come without splitting.
Also, with the extremely loud environment, packed seats and inconsistent food quality (the veal and mashed potato are very average), I would not recommend this restaurant as we deserve better while we are paying this price point of food.
I wish the training of the restaurant can be improved in the future in order to provide better service to the customers.

Great dining experience. Unexpected luxury in Lakewood. Their Old Fashions are amazing! Only downside was the time it took for the meal to arrive.
