Went to Cafe de Paris last night. We really liked the food (the smoked salmon appetizer was fantastic, by the way!). We've spent quite a bit of time in France and were very impressed that the food was very typically French, not "Americanized" French. I felt like I was in a French person's home for dinner - quite authentic. The service, however, was just ok. The waitress was not just slow (I can appreciate that as a wonderful French characteristic), the problem was more in her attitude. She was not friendly at all. When new patrons came in to the restaurant, she almost had the air of being bothered by them, rather than appreciative of them coming. I'm sure the Chef/Owner in the kitchen would not have liked what he saw when a crowd of 6 came in and she made setting a table for them seem like a lot of trouble. Normally, I would understand that but there was a large open table next to us already set. Why she didn't seat them there we have no idea. I will certainly return, but hope there is another person serving that day. The place would have seemed a lot "warmer" had the waitress not been so icy. Pros: Food Cons: Service

This is a wonderful little restaurant. It is clean, cozy, very comfortable seats, nice views of the ferry area from almost all seats. I found the server very friendly and attentive. If there is sometime's a little wait,it appears to be because this is a two-person run restaurant, and almost everything is made to order. I was there for lunch today, so we only sampled the lunch menu. The soups and crepes are superb, possibly the best crepes in Seattle. I had a beef bourguignon crepe, and the beef was tender, succulent and perfectly cooked; the sauce was delicious, just spicy enough to enliven the beefy flavor of the gravy. . The cream of leek soup was, again, one of the best I've had, again, because of that balance between taste polarities. Desserts leave that balance for the side of richness - my companion had a sort of flan - creme brule? - that was swimming in syrup and topped with large mound of whipped cream. This will be one of our ten favorite local restaurants - along with T&T for Chinese, Matsu Sushi for Japanese, Chaiyo for Thai, the Tacos Guayamas on 196th St in Lynnwood for Mexican, and the Caspian Grill in the U District for Persian.

Perhaps we have high expectations of a French restaurant, but we were a little disappointed by the food here and the ambience left a bit to be desired. Please note this is not a "budget" restaurant as noted by Citysearch (not under $20 a person). Pros: Free parking Cons: Decor, ambience

March 2007 My family made reservations at Cafe de Paris, a restaurant family and friends have frequented for years. The female manager provided the worst service we have experienced in years. The food was good however, the female manager/waitress was very rude, provided poor service and complained about how she hurt her leg while distracted trying to take our order. I asked her to have the owner call me. A week later I never received a call finally when I got through to the owner he said he never received the message and did not seem to care about the service even after I tried to explain our experience. He asked me ?what I want him to do about it?. He said he was busy and there was no reason to call me back. With such poor service, I will never visit this restaurant again. Pros: good food Cons: Experienced poor service from mgr & owner
