    We celebrated my birthday here. We arrived 15 mins before our reservation time , waiting outside…read morein line for another 15-20 mins. Once we were sat the service worked a bit slow, but everyone was friendly and kind. The ambiance was vibrant. Cool. Not too loud. Not too bright. We ordered the prosciutto appetizer, burrata, focaccia , mamargherita pizza , truffle pasta and the bolognese pasta, tiramisu, and pistachio gelato. Everything was delicious. The focaccia through us off a little but . But it was good.

From the host who greeted me and accommodated my slight tardiness on my reservation, to the server who took my order. The vibes here are immaculate. It's very aesthetic. I would've preferred to be on the 4th floor but the 3rd floor was unique and pretty on its own. The bar was particularly eye catching. I was also very amused by my fish shaped water bottle. Regarding the food, it was really tasty. I was starving this day, and greedily ate the whole thing. The pizza had good flavor and you could taste the fresh ingredients. It was a little floppy as it was thin crust. Unfortunately they didn't cut the slices, so I had to do it myself. Not sure if that's intentional or not. The limoncello was especially refreshing on that hot day. Please note, I did have to request ice for my water. Evidently in Europe most restaurants don't provide ice freely like in the US. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food, the allure of the restaurant, & the customer service. I highly recommend.

    Le Relais de l'Entrecôte is one of those classic Paris experiences that's absolutely worth trying…read more Conveniently located near Saint-Germain-des-Prés, it's an easy stop while exploring the Left Bank, although be prepared to queue. We waited about 20 to 30 minutes, but the line moved steadily and was well managed. The restaurant has a warm, lively Parisian bistro atmosphere. It's busy, energetic, and tables are close together, which adds to the authentic charm. The menu couldn't be simpler. They only serve a green salad with walnuts, steak, and unlimited fries with their famous secret sauce. Everything was delicious. The salad was fresh, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce really is as good as everyone says. I also loved that they automatically bring a second serving of steak and fries. Don't skip dessert. The profiteroles were absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end the meal. Considering the quality of the food, the generous portions with the second serving, and the iconic experience, I thought it offered good value for Paris. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the city.

    I'm going to be the party pooper here but the food was horrible. The line was a bit long at 10pm…read morebut it moved quickly. I didn't mind the wait if the food was good, but it wasn't the case for me. The mustard dressing salad was ok but the steak was so dry and I could eat only 3 slices. The waitress was very nice. She encouraged me to eat more but I just couldn't. I told her that I would skip the second plate. She actually packed the leftover for me but the food which didn't taste good then wouldn't taste good later, either. I had a bite of the steak later but I still didn't like it. The wine also tasted like water. We just laughed how bad everything was. This place is popular among tourists and I fell for it. Anyway I thought I should share my experience.
