10/10 experience. The staff was outstanding and our sever, Ethan, made the entire experience so fun and enjoyable. He was so helpful in helping us pick out what we wanted based on what we told him we liked. The other severs and hostess were so kind and personable.

What a wonderful birthday experience! We were made to feel special from the moment we stepped in the door. Food was delicious, and portions generous. The lemon chicken was a delight! Despite booking late we were allocated a fabulous table, and the small treats for my partners birthday really was the cherry on top. A lovely experience on a cold and sunny day in Central Park! We’ll be back!

Katherin C was our waiter. She was so lovely and attentive and made our anniversary dinner so special. But her interactions with other table were just as wonderful as ours. What a wonderful employee you have. The food was outstanding and the venue stunning with all the greenery and lights. Definitely worth a visit. Food was priced very affordably as well.

Took my mom here for her 77th birthday and was so happy it was still decorated for Christmas, what a beautiful sight! The food and drinks were amazing and the cost for 4 of us was reasonable! Would definitely come back to Papillon Bistro and Bar when I visit NYC!
