"We have dined many evenings and food is consistently outstanding. The Chef specials are always inventive and unexpected but never disappoint. A true gem for Paris, the kind of restaurant we would normally drive out of town for! The atmosphere is gorgeous yet welcoming, the sort of place you can’t wait to return to again and again. And the staff are so knowledgeable and friendly!"

"Celebrating our 29th anniversary a bit early. Food was wonderful. Had NY strip and hubby had filet mignon. Drinks were also on point had the heart of Texas and tequila de pomme. Will absolutely be back soon."

"WOW! I went in prepared for opening weekend chaos, long waits, bad service, mediocre food. But in reality we barely waited for our appetizers, and as we finished, they brought out our entree. The food was beautiful. A lot of care was put into presentation, something we don't see at other Paris restaurants. The staff were extremely attentive, and the ambiance was on point. While it's a little pricey, this is a situation where it's worth it. Will definitely be back regularly!"

"AMAZING! The food was spot on. Our server Paige was the sweetest and loved Matt taking the time to chat with us. The shaved Parmesan! The croutons! I thought the salad was my favorite part until I had the filet."

"Had a great filet and salmon dinner. Server Kenna was great and fun. Other servers stopped by for fun conversations. Side of Augratin potatoes was an extra delight. Drinks were a great start along with bacon wrapped shrimp. To finish with a scoop of chocolate ice cream and chocolate cream brûlée. Recommend stopping by when in Paris Tx. Thanks from your Oklahoma customers."
