Nice place but a bit overrated – It was an ok experience. Nice place, decent service, alright food but everything was just so so. Not the superior service or terrific food I expected, especially for the cost. I wouldn't recommend it and I probably wouldn't go back unless it was for a dinner for someone else. That's not to say anything went wrong while we were there. I just wasn't that impressed.

Bar none, my favorite restaurant in the bay area – Excellent food. Excellent service. Great ambience. Great selection (wild meats/wild birds/steak/fish/pasta). Their tasting menus are amazing. It's pricey - but you are getting your money's worth.

Excellent Food, Wine & Service – I celebrated my birthday there with some friends. Eventhough expensive, I feel it was worth every penny. The tasting menu came with so much food to try & so much fine wine. Wonderful professional service. A great place for a special event.

Great, but keep in mind "Proper Attire" – Everything was great, value would be average for a nice/good restaurant, two course dinner without drinks for a couple cost about $100. Great for groups, very accomodating.

Good Food, High Prices – Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Le Papillon. I had the tasting menu; my boyfriend had the Pepper Seared Filet of Beef with Brandy Demi-Glace (my bf loved it) and the soup of the day--curry soup (too strong for me, but my boyfriend enjoyed it). Food-wise, we enjoyed it very much, leaving the restaurant stuffed. Service-wise, we had reservations, but were not seated until 30 minutes later. During out wait, however, we were served bite-sized appetizers, which were quite tasteful. After trying those,... read more

What can I say? – Just perfect! I know you have been around a long time, but I never visited until I saw you on citysearch. And was I glad to dine with you. From the presentation to the dessert wine, I was so impressed. My wife and I had a perfect 30th anniversary and I am so glad Le Papillon was there to impress us. Thanks!

Elegant, stuffy but delicious – The food is excellent. The servers are efficient and professional. The ambience is elegant but too stuffy for us Californians, who want to enjoy the exquisite French cuisine without dressing up. The price is quite steep but we should expect to spend more at an elegant French restaurant.
