From the moment we walked in, there was no exciting ambiance or unique character to the restaurant. While the staff was very kind and welcoming — everyone had a great attitude — the food itself was extremely underwhelming. We ordered the deviled eggs and chicken livers to start. The deviled eggs tasted like something my grandmother might make at home — very basic and not elevated at all. The chicken livers were actually good, but still not particularly memorable. The first few courses overall were simple, uninspired, and frankly disappointing — especially for a restaurant boasting a Michelin star. My husband chose the duck set menu, and again, the first courses were basic and lacked any real creativity or excitement. For a nearly $500 bill, and based on our experience dining at many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, this meal fell far below expectations. Overall, while the service was lovely, the food did not live up to the hype. Save your money and choose somewhere else.

Went for Dunsmoor PJ & friends dinner. Great service, seated at high table top. Excellent mix of dishes from chefs Brian and Dave, great to see chef Manny too from Dunsmoor. Looking forward to next experiences. Carolina gold rice + lamb dish = A+. Thank you chef Brian and chef Dave, thanks to Hayley our server.

The server had no clue about this dishes. Totally surprising at a resturant like this where the chef has worked so hard to build creations that are unique and amazing.

This was an excellent restaurant that delivered in all phases: friendly and attentive service (helping my mom with a broken foot to feel welcome); A+ french cuisine (from the bread and butter to the pressed duck, and an incredible array of desserts - soufflé omg); and ambiance (such a great room!). With all that is good at Pasjoli, we shall (and must) return!

Nothing was bad but nothing was great either! We order whthe pressed duck but it was not pressed in front of us— which supposed to be the impressive part of ithe dish. All the dishes were ok. The lobster / Shrimp thing tasted like it was made days before and re-heated! The staff was lovely but seriously for that kind of money, I was expecting to be wowed but all I was wowed about was the final bill! It’s not worth what they are charging!
