Enjoyed our dinner -- while escargots were very small and overpriced taste was good. Had the BEST LAMB CHOPS i have had in years -- half rode were 4 good size lambchiops with two good sides. wine was fairy prices and good selection for house wines. We have been here 2-3 times and food is consistent and good service!

My husband and I ate at Cafe Des Beaux Arts for the first time last night. I had heard from friends that the food was really good- they weren't kidding! I had chicken raviolis, and the filling and the sauce were outstanding. My husband had Aglia e Olio- chicken dish with spinach- and it too was spectacular. The service was spot on, and I felt right at home. Also the wine was priced fairly- we appreciate that!

Great Mother's Day Prix fixe menu - 3 courses for $36.95. We had cold soups to begin and egg dishes for our entrees. All were very good. Crepes were the perfect dessert course. Setting is very Parisian. Post Covid service can be spotty.

Came in for Mother's day brunch - food was 3x more expensive than their regular menu with nothing more added. The food was average at best, but mostly disappointing. The service was slow. $70 for eggs bene, quiche, one mimosa is highway robbery

A friend & I had Mother’s Day brunch there. We each ordered frittata, which sounded delicious, and we each had a glass of wine. Our frittatas were thin, greasy and un flavorful and it was served with greasy fried potatoes. I have never had such an unappetizing meal. I didn’t know that it was possible to ruin a frittata! We got absolutely minimal service. We will not return to this restaurant — so disappointing!

The Lake Superior whitefish was really bad! I expected that it would be good as it was a feature on the menu. You could tell it sat under the lights to dry out even more. Wow I should have sent it back! Additionally, the raw bacon wrap on the beans was not good. Other than that, never order the white fish on the menu ever again.

Another great meal at this fun restaurant. Special swordfish - Mediterranean style with artichokes and olives was terrific. Linguine with clams was great as always. The service is professional and friendly. Gives you the feeling your in Paris.

Don’t think we will go back. The owners are very nice but the food just so so Very slow service but I respect the fact all restaurants are short handed. The Caesar salad was bland the liver was good but vegetables not so good. The onion soup could have been better. Definitely the prices have gone up but prices everywhere have gone up. Anyway don’t think we will return.

I had requested a table for 4 with chairs on all four sides. Unfortunately it was just between the bar, and staff doing service were constantly banging into our chairs. It was so stuffy, and noisy, only when we almost we're the last ones there, it was finally quiet, and cooler. Not a perfect night out friends we had not seen for 5 years.
