    Two interesting young guys making really interesting and unique food. Menu is limited and simple , but very tasty, fresh designed around local availability . Portions are on the small side, but I felt the value was good.. when we were there. I thought they should have one bread offering to sop up the yummy Everett juices . It was very quiet but our theater and event nights. I understand it’s very packed and probably loud. Get a reservation.

    Ben Paris has a great happy hour! Excellent food and drink options. The most  important part about this review is that our server was the only dedicated server in the restaurant that night. He worked extremely hard to serve all of his customers. He did a great job and was extremely personable. Also our complimentary drinks and appetizer because of a canceled reservation on the restaurant’s part was fulfilled with grace. We enjoyed a lovely glass of Abeja Merlot and an excellent focaccia bread.  Try this place out!! I would make a reservation as this is tourist season and the restaurant was quite full at 6 PM.
