   Wow, what a remarkable improvement from my previous visits to the iconic Pascal on Ponce! In the past, the food was good, but the atmosphere always left me feeling that the restaurant might close soon. To my surprise, a miracle happened: Executive Chef Alberto Pastor took over and spearheaded an incredible transformation. He revamped the decor, menu, and even the staff’s spirit. This time, the food was exceptional. We had the pleasure of speaking with the chef, who graciously invited us to try croquettes we hadn’t ordered and offered us a glass of wine. I’m thrilled to see Chef Pastor’s influence at Pascal, making it a vibrant addition to Coral Gables.

   We had not been there since the change of ownership and didn’t know what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised by the change! We each had an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Everything was absolutely amazing! The French side and Spanish were both delicious. The service was also very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Overall we were impressed. The only negative was that it was very hot in the restaurant. I had to step out (on a hot and humid Miami evening) to cool off.

   # Review for Restaurant Pascal **5/5 Stars - A Culinary Renaissance Under Chef Alberto Pastor** Restaurant Pascal has always been a respected establishment under Chef Pascal Oudin's French culinary direction, but the recent evolution under new owner and Chef Alberto Pastor has elevated this dining experience to extraordinary heights. The integration of Spanish cuisine alongside the traditional French offerings creates a magnificent fusion that surprises and delights with each course. Chef Pastor has masterfully expanded the menu while maintaining the beloved classics that made Pascal a local staple. The result is nothing short of spectacular—a perfect marriage of two exquisite culinary traditions. What truly distinguishes Restaurant Pascal is Chef Pastor's hands-on approach. His attention to detail is evident in every dish, and his willingness to accommodate special requests demonstrates his genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. He frequently visits tables, ensuring each diner's experience meets his exacting standards for high-end cuisine. The intimate, cozy atmosphere complements the exceptional food perfectly. The service staff, particularly Gustavo and Jolene, deserve special recognition. Their efficiency is matched only by their warmth and genuine desire to create a memorable dining experience. They strike that perfect balance of attentiveness without intrusion, making even first-time visitors feel like valued regulars. Whether you're a longtime patron of Pascal or discovering it for the first time under Chef Pastor's direction, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable gastronomic journey. The combination of innovative Spanish influences, beloved French classics, personalized attention, and impeccable service makes Restaurant Pascal an absolute must-visit dining destination.

   We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The menu offers a fantastic selection of French and Spanish cuisine, and we tried several dishes from both — every single one was extraordinary. Congratulations to Chef Alberto and the entire team for their outstanding work. We’ll definitely be back soon!

   Food was outstanding. Noise level was loud making conversation difficult. Service was average, needed to ask for top off on wine glasses on more than one occasion

   We had so much fun! It has a very lively atmosphere and delicious food. We absolutely loved everything! We had the specials. The octopus and croquettes were the standout appetizers. The chef was there and he was so kind. Don't forget to order the soufflé! We also had the cheesecake which was also outstanding! Wines were delicious and incredibly reasonably priced.
