    I have been to Paris Bistrot several times and have never been disappointed. Excellent service combined with excellent French cooking. On my last visit I ordered the foie gras pate which was creamy melt-in-your-mouth fabulousness. Then I had the pork medallions with the Cognac cream sauce and scalloped potatoes. Again, another taste sensation.

    Another wonderful dining experience at Paris Bistrot on a delightfully busy Easter Sunday. Exceptional authentic French food (the owners originate from Paris), great wine, excellent service, and a wonderful ambience. This remains our favorite restaurant for dinner and lunch on a very regular basis. Merci

    This was the first time to visit Paris Bistro and it was a fantastic first impression! The service was impeccable and the food choices amazing. We will have to return to try the other options on the menu. The ambiance was what we would expect a bistro in Paris to look and feel like, congratulations. I look forward taking my entire family to experience the French cuisine soon.
