What People Are Saying About Paris Cafe
The Owner
Paris Cafe
Owner
Rich in culture and history... In 1873, on the ground floor of the hotel bearing his name, an engaging entrepreneur named Henry Meyer constructed an elegant bar with polished woods and sparkling mirrors. He named it Paris Cafe. Seafood specialties include sauteed shrimp, a surf and turf special with broiled lobster and 6oz Filet Mignon in a garlic butter sauce and a full raw bar featuring fresh clams on the half-shell.

Excellent food, great service, perfect atmosphere
by rspatafora
I have been going to Paris Cafe for over a year now, since I moved into the Financial District last summer. I was surprised at some of the reviews I've read here. Either things have changed dramatically for the better, or I'm just extraordinarily lucky to always have a good experience there.
The service has always been excellent for us. (Annette is just about the nicest person alive.) The burgers are the best we've ever had. The fried calamari competes with just about any I've ever had at a seafood restaurant. The steaks are always thick and perfectly cooked. And the view of the Brooklyn Bridge is just the icing on the cake.
The service is fast, the prices are reasonable, and the place has a real neighborhood feeling that we like. I really can't recommend it highly enough.
- Pros: service, burgers, setting
- Cons: sometimes too hot!

Stale Nachos, inattentive staff
by GrapeApe78
Below average explains it. Food is not great and is pricey, most of the appetizers are $10 and you don't feel like you are getting much value from a bar serving traditional American style cuisine. Thumbs up for the ample amount of TV's surrounding the bars and the video games (love buck hunter). I have been here a handful of times and the service from the bartenders was way too slow. Ordered nachos once and they were stale as can be. Would rather go to Nelson Blue or even Jeremy's Ale house around the corner.
- Pros: TV's for sports, location is cool
- Cons: service, food not cheap and not great
