Thanks to a dear friend, I was able to enjoy Paris 66 Bistro late in 2012. There are a great many things to like about the place, and nearly nothing to complain about. The night we were there it was perfect, and in my one stop back there to pick up pastries they were a bit backed up and alas could not fill my order. No worries though, onto the review. I normally don't comment upon a single dining experience BUT I have read some of the comments below and felt it only fair to weigh in for the owners/chef's sake. It is a quite charming little place, with a lot more tables inside than you think are possible from the outside. It is not a bit loud though, and appears all in the world like a quaint Paris Bistro. For me, the key elements of the experience were: Food: Was extremely happy with the Steak Frites. Perfectly done, I must admit it was better than the version that I actually had in Paris. Everything was solid and spot on, the macaroons are to die for. Service: Absolutely rock solid the night we were there for dinner. No complaints and even though our server had an injured thumb, you would not know it by here ability to open our wine and otherwise provide a high level of service (sadly something I see less often here in Pittsburgh). Drink: Wine list was pretty solid and rather fairly priced. Again, one dinner is no real judge but I will be back to update. Wildcard: The bakery is a stunning addition and as noted above, macaroons are worth the price of admission. You will not be sorry that you went. read more

I loved so many things about this hidden gem for brunch: Nearly all of the wait staff speaks French. Pretty impressive for a city not known for a French population. If you speak French, do use it! This aspect livened the atmosphere and made it all the more fun. Savory buckwheat crepe: La Champs de Mars had delicious smoked salmon. I'd recommend ordering a side of l'epinard (spinach) to go with it. Each bite I assembled some crepe with a sliver of salmon and a dollop of spinach--divine. The crepe itself was not amazing, but altogether it was something else. And the macaroons are phenomenal. I had the White Chocolate with Basil, and from now on I'm a basil-dessert fan. The entire quarter-sized pastry was beautifully crafted with fresh ingredients--you can taste it it's so fresh. Plus the environment just ties everything together--language, art, people. It all makes me want to go to France so much! read more

Excellent food. Wonderful, attentive waitstaff. Some of the clientele that were dining here tonight? pretentious snobs. I could do without them. Otherwise, I will certainly be back again. Try the skate! read more

It is overpriced and the food is OK. The ambience is a little dark and that is the only OK part for good date scene

Truly outstanding. Few places can transport you to another mental location when you're there. This is one of them. I couldn't believe we were in the city. I was quiet, and filled with tons of beautiful knick knacks and french items. The service was very nice - a young french girl. I recognized many of the items on the menu but some were unfamiliar. I didn't request a translation but I sensed she would have given me accurate descriptions of the items, had I asked. I got the croque Madame, which was excellent. The manager stopped by, and he was a true pleasure to talk with. Overall this place was a real winner. Great food and service in a nearly unbelievable atmosphere. A place perfect for romantic dinner!! I would highly recommend this location. read more

So this text I sent to my BF pretty much sums up my experience: "I cheated on you and went to Paris 66 for brunch. I am experiencing an omelet epiphany. This is the best omelet I have ever had and I don't know why. It's just salmon, spinach, and Swiss cheese but it's incredibly good. It must have something to do with how the ingredients were prepared and how the omelet was cooked. I cannot replicate this dish." I've been here several times and the food has always been excellent, interesting, and worth the calories. They also have a great wine list. **Do not come here if you're tight on time! This is a casual little French cafe with a tiny kitchen that prepares all dishes from scratch when ordered. Nothing is prepackaged or frozen; therefore, it takes more time for the entrees to arrive than it does at most restaurants. As long as you are expecting this, you will probably have a great experience (besides, it's an excellent excuse to have an extra glass of wine). read more

Stumbled into this place, thinking it'd be an order-crepes-at-the-counter-type joint, but then we walked in and felt like we'd stumbled into Paris! Even our waitress spoke perfect French. The place definitely has its charm. The food was alright, but didn't hit the spot with me. I had the La Bastille galette, and wasn't a fan either of the consistency of the filling, nor the texture of the crepe. Maybe this is authentic French. I wouldn't know. I will give credit where credit is due though: the creme brûlée was fantastic. Wonderful caramelized top and light, not-too-sweet interior. Final word: Go here more for cute ambiance and the creme brûlée. The food is give or take. read more

Bistro fare at 5-star Michelin prices. I would love to give Paris 66 a higher rating, but the outrageous prices preclude that. My partner and I went there for lunch. If you look on the website, there is practically no difference between the lunch and dinner menus in terms of selection or prices. Nor are there any type of "lunch" specials. So not wanting to fill up too much at lunch we both ordered the crepes. I got the Paris 66 (ham, egg, cheese,etc) and my partner the salmon. Both were very delicious. But in no universe should a crepe cost $18! In Paris it is no where near this expensive for crepes at any table service restaurant. The price for our two crepes, tap water to drink and one macaron for desert with tip was close to $50! Perusing the wine list was equally crazy. Only a few selections under $50 and those were in the $45-$50 range. Paris 66 would be outstanding if it followed through as a true bistro and not totally price gauge the customers. Start by offering some true lunch offerings, and not charging a totally ridiculous price for crepes. And if you want to charge these high prices, follow through and be like a Michelin starred restaurant and provide the matching service, white table clothes, etc. This place could be so much better. read more

I will be recommending Paris 66 to all of my friends! Such delicious food and curbside service was great! I will be back soon! :)

Where to start ? I absolutely love and crave soufflés since having them at Paris restaurant in Vegas every time I go as well as anytime I visit other large cities. I have found other decent French places in Pittsburgh area but no soufflé. So i was most excited about this, though was a little skeptical after everything else , and the fact there was no warning to order this dessert ahead of time. They served my Grand Marnier soufflé with an awesome presentation ( though odd given soufflé is known to be super delicate) by pouring the alcohol on fire over it - i was so excited until i took a bite and realized they basically served me what tasted like fancy ice cream and def not a legit soufflé. I ordered the Coq au Vin- somehow the chicken tasted dry while the carrots were undercooked to point I couldn't cut them with my fork. Also , our service was less than desirable. I don't often write negative reviews but I was so shocked after being mislead, in my opinion, by all the raving reviews and awards. Maybe it was a bad night but I don't get the hype. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet! My husband and I fell in love with this bistro before we were engaged, and it is still our go-to for date nights and impromptu meals. The staff is delightful and helpful (and they never tease us for butchering French pronunciations). The interior is charming, well-appointed, and always gives me the itch to book a trip abroad. And oh my goodness - the food is delicious!! We never pass up mussels, but we would also give high marks to their steak, fish, and Nutella crepes. This is by far our favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh and we would plead with anyone to support them during these unprecedented and unfair times. They are doing everything they can to keep diners safe, while keeping the dining experience intact. Bravo Paris 66! You are a gem. read more

Romantic and authentic for a price. My experience at Paris 66 Bistro was good but, because the cost for a three course meal was around $40 a plate, I'm going to rate this restaurant with a MUCH more stringent rubric. The atmosphere feels very much like a french bistro. It's romantic and quiet but some of the decorations were a little too much. There are a lot of antique photographs that but made me feel like I was in a b-list horror movie. Luckily the dishes were beautiful enough to cover this. The food was good but not spectacular. I was most pleased with our cheese plate appetizer and macaroon dessert. The veal medallions I ordered were incredibly bland and the white wine sauce seemed a touch too bitter next to a pile of asparagus. Good service and fresh ingredients made this out to be an A-OK experience, though I would recommend skipping the main course. read more

Not worth it for the price. Food is bland, overpriced, and service leaves a lot to be desired. Atmosphere is good for a date spot but East liberty has several other places I'd recommend before coming here. read more

In a great part of Pittsburgh, this East Liberty restaurant is run by a French couple (French is spoken in the open kitchen). I've been for brunch, where I've sat on the heated patio and enjoyed their buckwheat crepes. Good French food for reasonable prices in a great atmosphere. What's not to like? read more

Three oddities stood out for lunch: 1. Out of 20+ people, my friend and the waiter were the only two guys in the place. 2. The wait staff stayed in overdrive; perfect service, and I'm not sure I've seen wait staff do so much without ever seeming hurried. 3. The food here is superior to most of what I munched on visiting Paris. Great soup of the day (mushroom), an enormous salad that didn't cut quality, and amazing savory crepes. Will go back anytime I drive by and don't see a line. read more

We were here for the marathon. We had to eat food and get downtown to see the finish. We explained we had exactly 16 minutes and they rose to the occasion. THE BREAKFAST CREPE WAS AMAZING, served quickly, super helpful and friendly staff. The only regret I have is that I can't come back. There were no down sides to this place for brunch. read more

We came in during graduation week and I was a little surprised that there was so many available time on the OpenTable app. When we came, the restaurant was almost empty. Which was a huge surprise since every other restaurants were booked up at least a week before because of graduation week. When we came, it took forever for the waiter to come and take our order. and when he took the order it takes 45 minutes for the main course to come out, 30 minutes for the appetizer to come out, and it took 20 minutes for the desserts to come out. The only time that service was quick was when they give us the check. We ordered the snail for appetizer and a salad, both were subpar especially the snail, doesn't have any flavor whatsoever to it. And the lamb shank which the waiter recommended to us was soft, however there are not much taste to it, and it doesn't have that special juicy taste that lamb usually has. The only high point of our meal was the crème brûlée, which was very delicious. Everything from service to food was very disappointing, especially for that price point, the restaurant doesn't look particularly fancy either, I honestly think it's because they think they can charge more because it's French food. I have even gotten irritated towards the end because it took us 3 hours to finish our meal when it absolutely does not have to be that long. After 20 minuted of waiting, I walked up to the front to see the waiter chatting with some guests that are not yet seated, while our desert plates were just laid out on the counter. Mind you these are all premade, they literally just left it there for 20m for no reason, while we were tired and sleepy from jet lag. Not a good experience and I will never come back again. read more

Amazing experience each time we eat here. Great food, great service. We have had pretty much everything on the menu. The frites are amazing. The foie de veau is a personal favorite, and the wine list is fantastic. read more

Every time I go I'm floored. The daily quiche is always amazingly fluffy, and if you ever see the brussel sprout soup on the menu, make sure you get it. I think it's more like $$$ than $$ so be prepared on that end. So worth it though. read more

I visited Paris 66 for restaurant week because the menu was such a good deal. The onion soup was actually my favorite thing from the menu and should not be missed. I'v been to Paris so the food didn't quite match up to the escargot I've had but I would return again. Make sure you grab a seat on the back patio- it's heated in the winter and has great ambiance. read more

We came in for a simple macaron and they immediately demanded our reservation name, and when we asked for 1-2 macarons the cashier started to say something, presumably yes what flavors, before the other man interjected very rudely and said "only 6 or 12," twice. The menu clearly offers a price for each and they refused us an item on their menu and refused to serve. I don't see how a restaurant that was fairly empty and wasn't doing much refused us our food. read more

We had a terrible experience here. Terrible server. Kept dropping things. Took order, served first course, but obviously did not follow up with entree. Waited 40 minutes of more, approached manager for help. Very rude- good food takes time , he says. Have never been back. Who needs attitude when hoping to have an enjoyable evening out? Such rudeness- treating guests as a nuisance read more

This is a little piece of France right here in Pittsburgh. The chef uses tons of clever tricks to reproduce French classic dishes and an amazing bread imported straight from France! If you want a quick lunch, don't miss their buckwheat crepes otherwise enjoy a full course menu and ask for a wine pairing, you won't be desappointed. read more

My kids took me to dinner for my birthday. The staff was so friendly and gracious. Shortly before we arrived, my son's girlfriend broke the clasp on her necklace and asked if they had a pair of pliers so she could fix it. Instead, our waiter made time to fix it himself. Dinner is served at a leisurely pace. We spent over two hours in the restaurant. Yet we had just enough attention from the waiter that we were neither rushed nor abandoned. We did wonder where our check was, but the waiter told us that their policy is to allow the diners to signal the end of their stay. So when you're ready to leave, get the attention of your server. We shared an appetizer, chicken over puff pastry, and loved it. I could have made a meal of that. I had duck - delicious! My kids were all happy with their meals too. The waiter overheard my kids mention my birthday and brought my dessert with a candle and a message written in chocolate. I would definitely go back again. read more

See all

I've had consistently wonderful experiences at this restaurant and can confidently categorize it as one of my favorite go to places in Pittsburgh. I am partial towards French cuisine, and feel like I've been transported to the heart of Paris when I walk into this place. As soon as you walk in, you greeted by native French restauranteurs that welcome you to your table. I've had several things on this menu now including the mushroom soup (with just a touch of cream, you've reached umami in the truest sense), the coq au vin (perfectly tenderized chicken that cuts away like butter, cooked in a decadent savory sauce), the rainbow trout (seasoned just right with parsley, butter and lemon as to not over power the delicate and already tasty fish) and finally the sea bass (two filets of fish accompanied by rice and seasoned mix of red and green peppers). All the dishes I've tried are fantastic, but my favorite has to be the Moules Frites. The Marienere rendition, with mussels seeped in a broth of white wine, shallots, and parsley, and according to my dad who travelled the world working in the restaurant business his whole life, is exactly the way you are supposed to prepare it. Top off this fantastic meal with one of their fabulous desserts including chocolate mousse (a truly decadent and rich treat), pear and almond tart (light and refreshing) or the grand mariner soufflé if you are feeling bold. Final comment, the main waiter that I've had the pleasure of having each time I've gone is fantastic, professional, humorous, and has the best accent! read more

Although I've read a few less than raving reviews about Paris 66, all I can think is that these folks don't appreciate authentic French cuisine. We've been regulars at Paris 66 since they opened, and the reason we keep coming back is due to the consistent freshness, quality and presentation of their dishes, the atmosphere, their wine selection and, without question, the best service in town. Paris 66 is the closest you will find to a European dining experience in the city. Trust me read more

Group of 6 went to dinner on Friday night. We ended up spending 3 hours and over $850 on a meal that was just mediocre. The pacing of the meal was terrible as we waited forever to just get some bread and have the waiter take our orders. All of the patrons at the surrounding tables came and went and yet we still did not receive our entrées. When they finally arrived some were lukewarm. Certainly not worth the time nor the money spent. read more

Food and atmosphere is amazing here and the staff was supper helpful. Went for brunch and I'm sure dinner would be amazing as well. Worth the prices read more

This is not French, but American French. And if you don't like cheese, you will see the hell:(

Celebrated my wedding anniversary with my wife and we had an amazing time. The food was great, service was great, environment was great. I made reservations online, which was very easy, and we were seated without having to wait. The food was delicious and we were glad to be advised by our waiter on food and wine choices. My wife and I came here in the last, before we got married, and had a similar amazing time- would definitely return. read more

Kay had been wanting to hit Paris 66 since her birthday passed, so I belatedly took her there last weekend. Before I pile deserved praises onto the food, I will mention a few problems I had that add up to one deducted star. 1) The tables are too small. 2) The seating is cramped. I can dig communal dining, but this was uncomfortable. The folks on either side of us were literally bumping into me as were the servers. 3) For such an upmarket restaurant, I found it slightly tacky that instead of having a soda fountain, Paris 66 brings diners plastic bottles of whatever soft drink they request. My Sprite container looked terribly out of place on the table, so much so that it almost made me wish I had requested water instead. 4) We were unfortunately seated next to a party of very rude, intrusive, old, monied women who kept interrupting our "intimate" meal to complain about the restaurant. These big-haired, red-lipsticked, leopard-printed hags, who could have come straight from central casting (file under 'in-laws' or 'rich, elderly country club snobs'), were offended that we were served before them despite the fact that we arrived before they did and literally and openly felt that they mattered more than us. After all, they were "regulars" and their husbands were "important." One of them stared at me during our entire meal while occasionally whispering to her companion and pointing her long. bony finger at me. When I smiled at her, she scowled. Did she know who I was and dislike me for my politics? After all, I did get a very real Scaife family vibe from the ladies, but I digress... Nevertheless, Paris 66's food, while not inexpensive, was flawless to my palate. Going all-out, we ordered two appetizers: Beef Carpaccio and Fried Artichokes. The shaved meat of the carpaccio was tiled ornately onto the cold plate and was garnished with a basic vinaigrette-dressed salad that clarified the taste buds with its snap. Carpaccio is a bit tricky to consume considering how everything adheres to the eating surface, but the fresh, uncooked proteins made the work worthwhile. I'd always wanted to try this ever since I saw it made on the TV program "Great Chefs," but the piece never showed how a diner is supposed to approach it. Let's just say my butterknife proved useful. The artichokes were facile, breaded, hot fat joy. The large, brawny, fleshy artichokes were steamed sublimely beneath what was a crunchy, almost sweet coating. A serving of greens topped with a creamy dressing embellished the plate and proved refreshing. Bewildered as to what my entree would be, I instantly jumped on one of the specials of the night in Seafood Bouillabaisse as did Kay. I know, we ordered the same dish! That doesn't happen often. The bowl was deceptively deep and comprised a very ample serving of an ambrosial stew that hid a menagerie of marine creatures. Shrimp, swordfish, mussels, clams, crab, baby scallops, and Neptune knows what else all bobbed up and down in the murky, yellow brew. Every single morsel (my favorite being the fall-apart nuggets of swordfish) was perfection in terms of taste as well as texture and was everything seafood should be. Once I came to the sorrowful realization that the pieces of meat were no more, I eagerly downed the empty broth like a thirsty viking and used the bread to sop up the remainder. Again, feeling frisky, we went with 3 desserts, each one triumphant in its own way. An artful strawberry tart was first, a marscarpone cake was second, and a hazelnut cake made for the finale. I relished the hazelnut the most as the moist cake obscured large hazelnuts that were akin to cereal box-prizes. The mascarpone cake was angelic and lighter than helium in every way, its subtle sweetness rewarding slow...easy consumption. The strawberry tart was blessed with an Art Deco spirit that almost prevented us from eating it for fear of destroying its design, but once we broke it down, we found that its beauty was more than skin deep. Speaking of skin, a sugary fruit "roll-up" was its hide and held a milky, buttery filling underneath that itself held a vibrant, ripened strawberry. Ryan, our waiter, indicated that he was in the prime of his career by providing keen service and displaying Olympian-level social acrobatics and patience even with customers who were less than friendly or polite (I'm talking about the party on the OTHER side of us who didn't thank Ryan for a single thing and ignored him even as he was trying to serve them their dinners. I suppose the phrase 'Money doesn't buy you class' applies.). As we left, he gushingly approached us and asked us which dessert we liked best. I felt as if this young man's heart's desire is to make customers happy, and we did indeed leave happy despite our encounters with the wealthy and uncouth. P.S. Kay will have to tell you about the macaroons. She took home a dozen or so. Yup. Having a girlfriend is costly, but...she's worth it. read more

I had dinner here last night with a friend. I haven't been here for a while, too many new places to try I guess. I had forgotten how terrific this restaurant is! We both started with the French onion soup, it is truly the best in the city! It's rich and so full of flavor, truly delicious! We also had the mussels with blue cheese and another wow! The sauce is amazing and the mussels were tender and plentiful. The fries are also top notch! If you are looking for a delightful French experience, you will not be disappointed. It's charming, warm, with exceptional service and delicious food! It was like a sweet night in Paris! read more

Fantastic restaurant! The food was delicious, (I highly recommend the Crème Brûlée) and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

I've been living in Pittsburgh for about 8 years and have enjoyed sampling the great food that has been springing up in the city. I am typically a very understanding and forgiving person when it comes to mishaps while dining out, but I had an experience at Paris 66 that was so terrible I could not help but sign up for a Yelp account and share my experience. I apologize in advance for the length of this review, but I had to fit my entire story. To be fair, I waited to write this review until the day after visiting when my emotions have settled. As a lover of French food, I've eaten at this place a couple times and wished to share it with my girlfriend who had not been there before so we decided to go for restaurant week. We were seated for our reservation on time, and wine was brought promptly. I thought this was going to be a great night out. Unfortunately, we then sat for 40 minutes before receiving even bread, at which point, I was furious since no one had stopped by our table in this duration. All would have been forgiven with a simple apology and update on our food. Finally the bread came (without an apology) and shortly thereafter our appetizers. Unbelieveable - my date's escargot was cold. At this point, I thought it was time to talk to the manager. After waiting for him for another 10 minutes, the manager or owner or whomever was in charge came to our table. As politely as I could muster, I explained the situation - his response, "Well just don't tip your waiter well. It's his fault." WOW! Regardless of who's "fault" it was, I could not believe the arrogance of the manager in not even offering an apology, let alone something standard like a free drink. An apology would've been enough to stay, but we told the waiter what his manager said about him, cancelled the remainder of our order, and asked for the check. On top of it all, our table was on the back patio that was covered and heated nicely for the winter; however, my seat was right next to a cloth covering that served as the back door. The cold winter breeze that crept through the cloth door had me shivering by the end of my time there. In reading the previous reviews, this was sadly not the first time there was such a long wait for service and such poor hospitality by the manager. Needless to say, I will never go back to this restaurant or recommend it to anyone. For the price and quality of the food, there are so many better restaurants that deserve your business within the immediate area. read more

We stopped in for Valentine's Day dinner. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was delightful and was very helpful with our dinner selections. The wine list is well rounded and should provide something for everyone. Once our entrees arrived we were pleasantly surprised, my GF had the filet And I had the scallops. I honestly can't recall the last time I had a filet that tender & tasty. The deserts were equally pleasing. So you're probably wondering why only 4 stars. Well, for two people to eat with a few drinks expect to spend $300 or more. Had the prices been a bit more reasonable then Paris 66 gets the 5th *. I encourage everyone to explore this place but be prepared to pay up. The food, chef and staff are all excellent and deserve praise for what I feel is a complete package. read more

Really? Putting a French facade on mediocre, overpriced food doesn't make it good. I had a small piece of very dry quiche that was $10-12. Dessert crepe was okay but overpriced, and service was pretty average. The smattering of token French phrases from the cooks and wait staff comes across as a little too "theme restaurant", too - made me feel like I was in an upscale version of Whistlin' Willy's Pizza Gulch from South Park. read more

We went here Friday night and had fairly high expectations for Paris 66. I was looking forward to a decent crepe! We were immediately greeted by one of the owners in the cramped entry. She advised that our wait would be approximately 30 minutes, although she mentioned that she hadn't been in the back for awhile and didn't know what was going on back there. She did take our phone number and said she would called us. Great! We wandered around nearby businesses. Fine. We went back 30 minutes later, being very optimistic. When we arrived, we saw that our position on their notepad, (yes, they have a very sophisticated way of tracking their wait list), had not changed. So, either no one had come in since we were last there, or they had been seating customers as they came in. We were told by a different host that our wait would be just 30 minutes. When we explained that we were told that 30 minutes ago, she became flustered and said we would be seated as soon as possible. So, this time, we decided to wait in the cramped entry next to the glass display case looking at yummy food. Now let me say, they have made great use of the space in these very confined quarters. The kitchen is right inside the front door, (you can see crepes being made outside thru the front window), the chef and cooks are bursting with energy, working at a hectic pace to prepare the orders. They are warm and friendly and greet all the customer. A cash register is also located here, along with the dessert case. Tables are small and packed close together. Walls have a weathered finish, the lighting thru out is ambient, the fixtures are beautiful, all the walls are covered with old fashioned posters, post cards are under glass on the tables. Very nice. The exterior and interior finishes are very, very nice. We were offered a dining room table or a table on the patio. We happily took the patio, the fresh air was very nice after waiting by the kitchen. Not a lot to look at outside, but it's very relaxing there. We got a nice table in the corner next to large pot of flowers. Service was sub par. Our server waffled between her fake accent and Yinzer girl. Okay. We were not offered a beverage. She wasn't well rehearsed on the menu, except to say "we are out of that" twice. We also noticed that she struggled to open the wine of customers that BYOB'ed. Another thing that seemed odd was, mid way thru our dinner, one of the owners came busting out the back door with a table. She placed it in the middle of the patio, a server came out with a high chair, they moved it around a couple times and then customers came outside packing their own meals and then stood around and then decided to find their own chairs. Kinda strange. I ordered La St Germain, a buckwheat crepe with ham & swiss served with a small side salad. I thought it was a bit tough and dry and couldn't eat more than 1/2 of it. Also, it was contained very little ham or swiss, however the salad was nice. BJ had Paris-Brest, a salad served with scallops, shrimp, mussels and pesto. The scallops, (only 2) were well prepared, the shrimp (4) were tiny but well seasoned and the mussels (4) were over cooked and very tough. It was supposed to be served with bread, but none found it's way to our table. BJ also had the carrot & vanilla soup, which was nice. I so wanted a crepe for dessert, but after the savory crepe, I was afraid to try one of the sweets. Instead, we shared an apple tart. It was perfect, served with a bit of creme anglaise. The crust was very flaky, the apples were perfect. Our server gave us spoons to eat the tart, so that was a struggle. I'm sure Paris 66 will do well in Pittsburgh and I wish them well. However, I was not at all impressed with our experience. read more

This is my first review on Yelp. My wife has been encouraging me to join her in reviewing the places that we go so here goes nothing. My wife refers to me as The H... So I will refer to her as "My Lady" So my lady and I went to Paris 66 on Friday the 15th of August. We were celebrating restaurant week and my lady actually let me pick a restaurant for us to go to. So I picked here. I've never been in a French restaurant before so I wanted to try it out. When we pulled up to the restaurant we saw there was a sign for valid parking for only $3. That was great so we used their valid service. We had reservations so we were seated right away. So far so good. But then we just waited and waited for some service. I was pretty sure who our waiter was going to be. He sounded like a nice guy and he was knowledgeable about the menu and other things. I over heard him at a few other tables. Finally after 10 minutes he came to us. By then we were ready to order and we knew what we wanted to drink. So he took our drink order only and went to make it. We waited probably another 10 minutes for him to come back. I was thirsty and we had no water either. I hinted to my lady that this may be more like a European Restaurant which is slower and you just have to be patient and enjoy yourself and talk! So we tried that. He came back with our drinks and then took our order. Since it was restaurant week there for a few different choices selected from the chef that was part of the menu. My lady and I wanted to try that and not the menu. So my lady starts to order first. She wanted the Boeuf Bourguignon but the waiter said he wouldn't order that if he was her. He didn't really think it was a good choice on the menu. He wanted us to order from their main menu it seemed. So then the other choice was Salmon and he said he's not a big fan of Salmon but he does really like this one. Weird but she went with the Salmon. I told him I'll risk it and go with the Boeuf anyways! So time goes by and we still haven't received our bread. It took about 30 minutes to get some bread. My lady ordered some Escargot. It was delicious but it took another 15 minutes to get here. We both ordered goat cheese salads and we probably didn't get those until after an hour since we sat down. I liked our waiter but I'm not sure if it was his fault or not. He kind of reminded us of Jessie Pinkerman on Breaking Bad if you're a fan of the show! Anyways the salad was good it just took too long to come. Finally our main entree came. We waited an hour in a half for our main entrée. There was another family sitting next to us that got their a little while after we did they were experiencing the same problems. No drinks, no bread, really slow service. So my Boeuf tasted really good. It just was a really small plate for $35. I was still hungry. So would we ever come again? Probably not. I really liked the atmosphere. The food was really good but too pricey for the amount of food that you get. Even with that I would return but we won't be returning because it took us two in half hours to have dinner there. It made us tired. My lady and I are not in our 20's anymore so this drawn out dinner closed out an early night for the Nelson's. read more

Bad service on a slow Sunday afternoon? Not professional! The food didn't hit the right spot too. At the end, we were also given the wrong bill! I am sure the French wouldnt have been pleased with your sloppy service. Avoid. read more

Very disappointed after hearing about this place from friends and seeing the online reviews. My wife's entree was wrong -- TWICE. First, the wrong main dish was delivered, and the correct entree arrived with soup not salad. To make matters worse, the quiche crust was doughy across the entire bottom, and the "ham" was VERY fatty bacon. The response from the waiter? A shrugged sorry and "do you want a side salad?" When the hostess came by, she, too, shrugged a "sorry" and grinned a bit sheepishly. I finally asked for the manager. When she arrived, she thanked us for the feedback and offered a free dessert. I wasn't asking to have my butt kissed or get free food, but in any PROFESSIONAL restaurant, the server would have immediately offered to take the quiche off the bill. Very poor service. I had the monkfish. Never had it before. The server said that is was "light and flaky." Mine was dense and rubbery. There are too many other good restaurants in Pittsburgh for me to bother with this place again. Ugh. Oh, and the french greetings and exclamations -- "C'est magnifique?" -- are a bit much. The affectations were annoying. Just give me good, friendly and honest service. read more
