"This place serves great foods, wide range of wines (I took my wine since I had an excellent wine, though), great service. Very cozy and romantic. It's a bit expensive side, but I would go many more times."

"We dine here for years, Excellent and consistent service, food and atmosphere. Look for the specials, they are always a great option. Pascal's has always a great option from the wine list. My duck was cooked for perfection, taste was great. My wife had the fish special and loved it. Dessert options were also amazing. It remains the best french restaurant. a must go. Will keep coming back."

"We had a party of three everyone commented on how they enjoyed their food choices. For dinner we chose a bottle of Sancerre choice of two; $50 or $75. Appetizers were the crab cakes, escargot and foie gris and all we're excellent. Main courses of poached salmon, the lamb dish (made up of a chop, lamb shank and spicy lamb sausage and the chicken specie were chosen none disappointed. Desert I order the chocolate soufflé. It takes 20 minutes so I ordered along with main course. It was fabulous, the others had Baked Alaska and the crème brûlée neither disappointed. Meal cost $300 (including tax excluding tip) but that would not deter me from returning, in fact I will return. Friendly, knowledgable and attentive staff added to enjoyable meal."

"Pascal's On Ponce used to be one of my favorites in Miami. Not any more. An overcooked filet, and a waiter who seemed not to know the difference between good service and being obnoxious, together with prior recent unsatisfactory experiences, have made this one my last and final visit to this restaurant."
Dined on 2/20/2014
"Outstanding, creative and beautifully presented food worthy of Michelin rated restaurants. Service is gracious, classy and very attentive but not intrusive. Monday nights are corkage free, making them particularly appealing. It's not an inexpensive place, but if you're into refined high cuisine, then you get your money's worth and more."

"We were celebrating our oanniversary and this was the perfect choice. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was exceptional. We are wondering why we hadn't tried Pascal's before. We will definitely be returning and plan to be regular patrons. Our server, Alfonso, was wonderful. We had a truly romantic evening with incredible food. Definitely try the soufflés."

"Ambiance is lacking but quality of food makes up for it. always have the souffle desert. Prices have increased over last few years and are a little above the quality. Service is very good."

"Best French food, by far, in all South Florida... Le soufflé est fantastique!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
"This was our second experience at Pascal's and it was as fine as the first. They had us on the computer and so were able to seat us at the same table as before. That's attention to detail! Food was great. Flavorful and perfectly seasoned and how can you miss with that wine list! Our server, Alfonso, was helpful, charming and attentive. We highly recommend this restaurant and will be back... many, many times."

"My girlfriend and I tried to show up on time, but the traffic was horrible. We called and the host was kind and said, "everyone is late as well, so just get here when you can". When we got there, it was a bit hectic and some people were upset, but the host remained as calm as he could and tried to get everyone seated as quickly as possible. It took us a long time to get seated, but we can only blame ourselves. Also, we were not the only one that were late so it had a domino effect on the rest of the reservations. Once seated, the waiter promptly came over, took our order. The food came in a timely manner and was delicious. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good romantic atmosphere, as well as good food."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We arrived early, and though pascal's is small, we were welcomed at the bar to await our table. We had a very nice dining experience, and we'll be back."

"Valentines day 2014. Quality food, a little pricy but unforgettable taste.!!! I wish more space between tables.... Too many tables in few square feet..."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"I had reservations for valentines day... But so did the line of over 10 people that stretched to the outside of the restaurant. We arrived on time to be seated 20-30 minutes late. When we were seated, it was right next to another couple. Our tables were separated by less than an inch really. Luckily the two couples we sat next to were class acts, but it would really be nice to have some privacy, especially when the reservations were made a month ahead. The plates ranged from good to excellent, all around good eating. Servings were quite modest. For the price, I would most likely try elsewhere for the next special occasion."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"My wife and I had given up on going out on Valentines day-- one bad experience after another with tables jammed together, overwhelmed kitchens, etc. But we got a reservation early at Pascals. They had a big night, but they handled it beautifully."

"We try to make a time for Pascal's every time we are in Coral Gables. The restaurant has never let us down. The food is prepared in the kitchen by a very capable owner chef and his staff. The service is top notch and the ambience is comfortable. Very difficult to find fault."

"My friend and I have been visiting Miami and the Keys to celebrate my birthday. We have had wonderful meals during the trip but Pascal's was the BEST! Everyone was so attentive, the food Fantastic and our waiter was AWESOME!!! I would highly recommend."

"My wife and I wanted a nice evening! We deciding to make reservations as Pascals. The attention to detail and the food was incredible. An explosion of culinary flavors bursting in your palate. We had the desgustation menu with the wine pairing. It was fabulous. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to celebrate an anniversary of just want a fantastic restaurant to dine."

"Great specials on our dining experience. I tried the Scallops with braised ribs which was absolutely fantastic!!!"
Dined on 1/17/2014
"Wish there was a little bit more ambience. They say dress is business casual, but on Friday and Saturday nights maybe the lights could be turned down a little? Our waiter, Alfonso, was outstanding"
Dined on 1/10/2014
"lunch prix fixe is a good value. Excellent duck pate but mussels, surprisingly, were not quite fresh. Nothing worse than spongy mussels. Had this a few years ago and they were fantastic then. Will try dinner some time and will comment then."
Dined on 1/8/2014
"All our dishes were excellent, and service was extremely friendly and efficient. Only criticism we have is the bread: tasteless white, not worthy of Pascal's. We'd suggest including whole wheat and focaccia offerings. The food here is expensive, and we only go on special occasions, but it is delicious and worth the money."
Dined on 1/3/2014
"We went to this restaurant for the new year, as we are french our level about food is very hight and the food is delicious, a nice mix of french/american food. It is not a cheap restaurant but we had no problem about the bill as we knew that already . I recommended that place !"

"Made a reservation and we did not regret it. Once again, Pascals was amazing. Food was delicious!! Service was very good!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
"Dining at Pascal's is consistently a treat. The cuisine is classic French and reliably good. The service is unobtrusive yet immediate and thoughtful. It is a small place with only 8 or so tables inside, and a few outside on the sidewalk, so on nights when they are full it can be a little noisy, but even so it's a dream for small groups and tete-a-tetes where you want to be able to talk."
Dined on 12/30/2013
"We try to make sure we get to Pascal's every time we are in Miami and this time we had a superb meal that was better than ever. We have always loved the food here and the service is also outstanding. We all had the tasting menu and loved every course!"

"Was there Christmas eve for 3rd year in a row. Very nice place. My wife's Salmon was not done to her liking and by the time it came back I had almost finished my dinner. My filet was very dry. So overall it was a pleasant evening but the food was not great."
Dined on 12/24/2013
"Ponce de Leon came to Florida to fid the fountain of youth, never did, but if he come back to tth he street named after him, he will find one of the top places in Miami area. We had one night layover between planes and of all the choice for a foodie, we came back to Pascals for its great food and service. I may have come just for the parmesan soufflé, but my wife's green bean salad was great. I had scallops, she grouper and we loved our dinner-and would recommend it highly."
Dined on 12/14/2013
"Our favorite restaurant. The food is always excellent. The souffle is better than the best restaurants in Paris. The special matinis on the weekend are also excellent . It is the best quality for food in Miami. The Service is very attentive. We have enjoyed every meal we have had there."
Dined on 12/7/2013
"One of our fav's…delightful service from the beginning…the welcome, pouring the wines, explaining the specials, giving us time to order and properly spacing the orders. The Aussie lamb chops, Bouillabaisse, Salmon were wonderful and cooked perfectly…beet salad, special…other first courses/appetizers were very good too. Souffles for dessert….and after 2 1/2 hours, we all left with a return visit promise. They really deserve the high Zagat rating and other notable reviews!! One of the best service oriented restaurants in Miami!!"
Dined on 11/30/2013
"All four of us had the "French Spice" menu: lobster bisque was very good; pappardelle also very good; blanquette de veau had good taste but was tough; mussels were good but not exceptional. Desserts were excellent. However, service was cold (as opposed to warm or inviting), not very attentive, and inefficient -- consistently serving dishes to the wrong persons; we had to ask for the special menu as though the restaurant was avoiding offering it, and thereafter it seemed as though service was extremely unenthusiastic. This was not our first time at Pascal's -- previous visits were very good and with excellent service -- but unfortunately after this experience it is somewhat doubtful we will return."

"service and food were outstanding. A little pricey but worth it for a special occasion. So glad we went. our new favorite when we go to miami."

"we tried this restaurant for our anniversary dinner and it was wonderful! We ordered the tasting menu with wines and were pleased throughout the whole dining experience. Service was outstanding, food was amazing, and we had a somewhat private table that was beautifully set. Thank you for a wonderful evening!"
