    Beautiful space. Each meal was excellent. The only slight criticism- lower the lights a tad, too bright.

    I thought the food had a lot of flavor. Our server was attentive and our dishes came out quickly. We went here prior to seeing a play at Paramount and it was a short walk.

    Always enjoy eating at Ben Paris. It can get hectic and sometimes they don't have enough wait staff. Last night was very good overall.

    Always great to hit a reliable lunch spot. Don't come for a quiet or business lunch, its loud and active. but food is great and quick to come out. All 3 people in my party were pleased with what we had.

    Came before a show with what should have been plenty of time beforehand. We ended up being quite rushed anyways. Fairly expensive restaurant, honestly expecting some very good food. Our waitress only talked to us one time? suggested the market fish which was fair, but I ordered the Lamb Sausage Tagliatelle which was straight up not good. Lot of money for such a mid to bad dish.

    Food was very good, especially the mussels. The kitchen was swamped so our table and some others had to wait quite a while between courses.

    My family and I went here to celebrate two birthdays. We had brought a cake to the restaurant ahead of time and had a reservation for dinner. We were seated promptly and all of the staff were very kind! When we ordered drinks, a couple of our cocktails came without main ingredients, and we were only notified they were out of them after we had brought it up to our waitress, who wasn’t aware either. She was very kind, but we were disappointed we had to pay full price for drinks missing the main selling points. When we were ready for our cake, the waitress came over to let us know about the cake cutting fee, which wasn’t expensive or out of the ordinary for a restaurant, but wasn’t brought up when we dropped the cake off. Overall, our experience was fine, but the lack of communication was disappointing.
    Ben ParisResponded on November 17, 2024
    Dear Sophia, Thank you for taking the time to leave your valuable feedback and review. We are so thankful for you and your family choosing to celebrate with us, and are glad to know that the experience as a whole was fine- but thoroughly apologize for the lack of communication. We are disappointed to hear that your experience was anything less than stellar. We would love to discuss this with you further, would you be willing to reach out to our Director of Food and Beverage Juan Lopez via messaging here on OpenTable? We look forward to connecting. We hope you will give us another opportunity to gain your trust and show you the outstanding service we normally provide; we’d be grateful for the opportunity to make a better impression. Sincerely, The Ben Paris team
