    Negroni & Lemoncello martini
    Tonya K.

    We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at this local gem! Our first time here and we were greeted and served with care. The sophisticated and romantic venue added to the quality of the experience. Don't be fooled by the casual exterior. Our cocktails of the Negroni and Lemoncello Martini were delicious with more than a couple that sought my eye due to the intriguing ingredients. We opted for the 4 combo Amuse bouche and were delighted with the quality & flavor of all 4. Mt favorite was the salmon atop the cucumber. Menu included French classics such as their unique take on beef Bourguignon and duck a l'orange. Both items were tender, moist, and delicious with flavor enhancing sides. The brussel sprouts with a light smoky suck fat flavor was top notch. We also enjoyed being greeted by the chef table side. It was a perfect date night for us. We were too full for dessert but the options were intriguing and I can't wait to try our next time. My palate awaits!

    Duck and fries
    Jeff K.

    one of the major reasons we came here was that we missed getting duck confit after our recent trip to Paris. I made a reservation, and when we got there we were seated fairly quickly. The parking lot was a bit crowded, but luckily we found parking right across the street. i was going to get the steak and fries, but we tried it so many times in paris i wanted to get something else. So i ended up getting quail and short rib (which was part of their daily special) and the wife wanted to get duck confit. I also got a side of fries, but it was overkill, since my wife's dish already came with fries. Both the main entrees were delicious and highly recommended. We also got a small salad foie gras to share before our main entree... both recommended. They also provide bread and better before the food, which is nice. I think if you end up getting french onion soup, it'll go perfectly with the bread. the ambiance of this place is very nice. When you walk in, there is a interesting hall way to for people to wait. On the other side of the kinda see through wall is the actual dining room. Everyone dining the night we went was dressed up. (no shorts or t shirts) some even wore suits/blazers. will come back if i'm craving french food.

    Always a super great spot for date night and yummy French gastronomique cuisine and the wine selection keeps getting better. The foie gras torchon (not cooked) is one of our star favourites, one of the only places you can get it the traditionally French way

    Roquefort meatballs (special appetizer) - distinct blue-cheese flavor
    Kristina W.

    4 stars because of the elegant ambiance & great service. They really treat you like royalties here. The staff greet you immediately, the manager stopped by to ensure everything was good. Then they left you alone during meal to enjoy your time (which was nice), but they were on stand by if you need them. This is a pricey, formal venue (baseball cap is NOT allowed). The food was good, but not spectacular, definitely not as flavorful as we expected. Portions were reasonable, enough for 1 person with average appetite. The meal started with complimentary bread & whipped butter. Roquefort meatballs appetizer came in Nicely-decorated 5 medium-sized meatballs - had distinct blue-cheese flavor. Hubby got Coq Au Vin Blanc (half chicken), with mildly-thickened brothy sauce over fettuccine pasta - tasty. I got the Iceland cod, creamy, very-mildly-seasoned melt-in-your-mouth fish. The complimentary small plate of potato au gratin was a nice surprise, it was creamy & mildly seasoned. Overall, a nice venue for a dress-up dinner date, but we were not too impressed with the flavors.

    An Epic Find! Food: Food was amazing. The menu is French themed and honestly right on point. The Dover Sole is flown in from France and the scallops from Cape Cod. This place had the best French food I've had in Texas. Service: The staff is great, friendly and approachable. Our waiter Joshua made great recommendations and was knowledgable on the history.He really made the experience better. Ambiance: Do not be fooled by the exterior. Think of a speak easy but as a restaurant. Looks like a basic strip mall exterior until you walk inside. Everything was well designed and had a upscale touch. I highly recommend stopping here for a great dinner.

    Not a stretch at all to consider this the finest dining experience in Fort Worth, likely in all of Texas, and I'd hold it up to any other restaurant I've gone in US. Wow, artfully prepared French cooking where even some baby heirloom carrots can be elevated into something extraordinary. Classic French dishes abound on the menu, but don't get too committed until the daily special blackboard is presented to your table. Picking out what to eat here is very difficult, it's all fresh and exquisitely prepared. Every time I bring new folks to try Paris 7th, they always give a "Oh My God" when tasting each dish. The food is just that extraordinary. Michelin star quality in my opinion. Classic dishes such as Dover Sole are presented alongside a clever Ossetra caviar appetizer paired with a super cold local Fort Worth brewed vodka. Fresh fishes and scallops are always available and save room for a Grand Marnier soufflé The wine service is also extraordinary. Huge selection of beautiful French wines ranging from classic Bordeaux's and Burgundy's to lessor known Sancerre and Mersault's. Let Chris Salvador guide you. He always has a delightful wine he's discovered that is perfect for any course of the menu. Service is nothing short of ultra-refined and knowledgeable and the food is well paced. Everything is just perfect. On the weekends, reservations are a must, but I like going during the week when reservations will guarantee you a table, but you can stretch out your meal and really enjoy everything about the place. Tables are well placed to allow conversation even during the busy weekend dinner service. All white tablecloths and little touches like wood Peugeot salt and pepper shakers create an authentic French Country vibe. If you a wondering what true 5-star food, service, and ambiance are like, you have to go, whether it's a special occasion or you just want to reward yourself for another week of life.

    Taste of caviar
    Amber L.

    We had reservations here at 6:30 on a Tues night for my sons birthday. We appeared to be the first guests of the night. Throughout our dinner service more people did arrive. We all agree that the service was stellar. We do not drink alcohol and were offered two house specialty mock-tails in addition to any mock-tails we could request. We tried both specialty mock-tails and both were delicious. For our appetizers we ordered a taste of caviar, the tartare, and the foie gras tarchon from the chalkboard. All of our appetizers were divine. For the main course my son had the carré d'agneau (lamb), my husband had the magret et confit (duck), and I had the filet d'angus noir (tenderloin). We all three agreed that our entrees were disappointing! My son said his lamb was lacking the lamb flavor he was looking for. My husband said his magret was dry and the confit was salty. I was disappointed in the Bordelaise on my filet. It tasted like cheap gravy and ruined my steak for me. The scalloped potatoes that were provided for our table were the best dish in the table. We asked for a dessert menu and were provided one. The server gave us the menu and walked away. We looked over the menu and decided to skip dessert. Nothing jumped out at us. We overheard the assistant sever describing the desserts to the table next to us and regretted our decision to skip dessert. If the assistant would have been the one to deliver our dessert menu and gave us the descriptions he was giving to the other table we would have ordered dessert. Although the service was stellar we felt like the tempo in the restaurant was painfully slow. We understand fine dining and were not in a hurry. We took our time enjoying our drinks, then appetizers and finally our main course. However it seemed like we waited an extraordinary long length of time to have plates cleared and before the next course arrived. Even without dessert, we were in the restaurant for 2 hours.

    Striped bass
    Lynne S.

    It's not a special occasion for our family without a visit to Paris 7th. We did an early Valentine's meal with steak tartare, short ribs and striped bass. Lovely plating, delicious meal. Crème brûlée and oeufs a la neige with coffee for dessert. They are adding a private room to make better use of the former lounge area. Should be a great spot for groups dinners!

    The ambiance is so calm and romantic
    Amanda B.

    Have you ever wanted to hug a chef? These were my feelings after the first bite into our amazing night of spectacular entrees. The ambiance whisks you away from the normal day to day stresses! The sommelier, host and chef were top notch! We celebrated my college graduation here and it was total perfection.

    a glass of water and a small dessert
    Laurie F.

    I love French food and hubby booked this place for my birthday and it did not disappoint. We tried the caviar which was great, they had snails which were good and scallops flown daily from cape cod which were great too. For mains I had duck breast which was delicious and hubby had the beef bourguigon which was also fantastic. We had Delicious olives too and a soup of the day which was ok. I had the French 75 cocktail and he had an old fashioned both great and the ambience and service is lovely. We didn't have room for dessert even though they offered it for free for my birthday. We had a nice experience and want to try St emillion too

We spent about 2 hours enjoying the offerings of the restaurant. They advertise a minimum of $59 per guest, but unless you frugally navigate the menu and order water I would plan to spend $100-150 per diner to get the full experience . Location: the restaurant is in a very small cottage style "house", which was PERFECT. It had so much character and really was a unique dining experience. We loved the restaurant - and had zero issues with parking. Food (and wine): the food was very good and honestly you get a lot of it. We did French onion soup, scallops, tartare, steak frites, duck, the included salad, and two desserts. Everything was genuinely very well prepared. The only thing we did not enjoy were the scallops, they were seared on one side and honestly just seemed underdone - but we're not scallop experts by any means so take that with a grain of salt. Everything else was very very good. I would highly recommend the steak frites and the duck. We will 100% come back just for the food alone. We let our waitress and the wine expert guide us with a tailored wine paring with each grouping of our dishes. This experience was very well executed - and don't skip the wine room, take a look. Service: the service was good, not amazing. The staff to table ratio felt overwhelmingly in favor of the staff, but the service didn't necessarily directly reflect that. We were celebrating a birthday which was articulated in our reservation but unfortunately that was overlooked but happily accommodated when mentioned. This was prime time on a Saturday and we were in no hurry, so not really a major impact for us. Someone who was a stickler for perfect service on a rather expensive meal might say otherwise. Overall we had a great time, and will certainly be back. Thanks for providing Fort Worth with a taste of France!

We started with the complimentary bread, and the butter served with it was so delicious I wanted to buy some--unfortunately, they don't sell it. For appetizers, my husband ordered the French onion soup, and I chose the escargot. He thoroughly enjoyed the soup. The escargot was enjoyable, though not my personal favorite. I especially liked the foie gras pâté, which was rich, creamy, and flavorful. For the mains, my husband had the beef tenderloin with cognac-black peppercorn sauce and thin French fries. He said the steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was exceptional. I ordered the duck breast, which was tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For dessert, we shared the brandy ice, which was refreshing and similar to a smoothie, and I had the classic crème brûlée, which was a wonderful way to end the meal.

We were greeted at the hostess stand and immediately felt appreciated and welcomed; also the decor in the dining area is beautiful. Our server was Koch (not sure of the spelling) and he was perfectly attentive. My bestie and I had a 3-hour brunch and he never made us feel rushed or a bother to him. As our appetizer, we ordered the shrimp cocktail. It was fresh, crisp, and delicious. My friend ordered the short rib breakfast entree (delicious), and I ordered the Margot Eggs Benedict with a side of hashbrowns. Unfortunately, my hollandaise was busted and the dish was cold. BUT NOT TO WORRY....management immediately came over, apologized and got me a fresh, hot, delicious replacement plate. That was such a minor blip it the road and did not "rain" on our great time.

As you can see from posted pics here on Yelp the restaurant is classy with a brasserie ambiance and vibe. We elected to be seated in one of the very comfortable booths across from the attractive bar with its red, upholstered swivel stools. My wife opted for a glass of Pinot Grigio and I a Sazerac. The Sazarac was OK, but overpowered in this pour by the bitters (and I'm one who loves both Angostura and Peychaud bitters. I drink them both straight whenever I have a slightly queasy stomach and enjoy them straight). For starters we shared a bowl of French onion soup which on this chilly early winter morning was a comforting and savory start to our brunch meal. My wife went with the eggs Benedict and I decided to try the Oeufs en Cocotte, a dish I encountered here for the first time ever. The eggs Benedict, my wife reports, was excellent. Perfectly poached eggs, large slices of a tender and flavorful ham over a croissant-like puff pastry that had been split and grilled to perfection in butter on the flat top, topped with a nicely done Hollandaise sauce. Happily for me, she left a half of the butter grilled pastry. It was divine. Likewise the Oeufs en Cocotte, eggs poached in a shallot cream sauce, was heavenly. Cannot wait to enjoy this again! Perfectly cooked eggs in a flavorful, steaming hot, shallot and cream sauce. So good.

    We have dined here on many occasions. The food has always been excellent, and the atmosphere is…read morecomfortable. The staff is welcoming with a smile! Today we had lunch and as always, it was delicious. Our server was delightful! Her name is Lupita and I always request a table in her section. (I have followed her from her previous job because she is good) Lupita is so welcoming and happy. Her smile and positive attitude is infectious! She will engage you as if she has known you for years! And this is one of the reasons I keep coming back. You will enjoy your dining experience, and, ask for Lupita!

    Family of five out running errands this past Sunday afternoon, we happened to drive by Mimi's and…read morethought it would be a neat idea to stop in for lunch. Mimi's was always one of my favorite places to eat back in the '90s and early 2000s, so I was feeling a little nostalgic. When we walked in, the restaurant was nearly empty. The service was subpar, the food was okay--but definitely not like I remembered it--and overall, it was clear that this once-popular chain has seen better days. Still, we left content enough and tipped well, understanding that this is an outdated chain that seems to be struggling, so we honestly didn't expect much. While we were there, I happened to glance into the kitchen area and saw a kid wearing an LA Dodgers hat and a food handler who appeared to be on her phone, speaking with our server, Eva, and showing her old pictures. What happened next, however, was something we definitely did not expect. Every single one of us became sick. First my wife, then the rest of us. Our group included five people--my wife and me, our 1-year-old, our 4-year-old, and my 80-year-old mother. We all ordered different meals, yet we all became extremely ill afterward. Yesterday, I was bedridden. Both of my young sons are sick. My mother has also been sick. If it were just my wife and me, I might be less upset--but when a 1-year-old, a 4-year-old, and an 80-year-old are involved, I am absolutely irate. I called the restaurant and spoke with Adrian. Unfortunately, I felt that he showed very little concern and immediately attempted to suggest that we could have gotten sick somewhere else, mentioning that they had not received other reports of health and safety issues "in a while." He eventually gave me the phone number for the district manager, Rager. I spoke with the district manager as well and, unfortunately, felt the same lack of concern. What really shocked me was that he essentially challenged me to contact the Fort Worth Health Department, stating that they would only come out and inspect the restaurant if they received an abundance of incoming complaints. Seriously? No refund was offered, so I asked for one--and it was denied. We're taking our 1-year-old to the doctor today. I am writing this review as a warning to others: please use caution and consider avoiding this location. I remember the days when Mimi's had long waits and the restaurant was packed. Those days are clearly gone. We plan to follow up with the Health Department and document everything. We also still have leftovers from our meals and intend to ask the appropriate authorities about whether they should be tested or examined as part of any investigation. This situation is still developing, but based on our family's experience, we will never be returning to Mimi's.
