Expensive but worth it for a VERY special occasion! The wait staff was very nice and knowledgable BUT a little too many many people while we were being seated an getting organized. We did not need bead on the table 5 seconds after being seated etc. Could not pick a wine until we knew what we were having for dinner.

Le Papillon is our most favorite restaurant & always where we go on a special occasion. The food is always sumptuous, the wine list is wonderful and the service impeccable. We've sampled everything on the menu & like it all. The Grand Marnier soufflé is a wonderful finish to a fabulous dinner. Can't wait for our next visit.

From the lavender lemon drop cocktail to the treats delivered by the chef's amuse-bouche, from the first course to the last, it was absolutely delicious. Textures, sauces and flavors were absolutely in harmony. Presentation was also elegant. But even with all those qualities Papillon menu is not self-conscious The good taste is present in how they name their plates with simplicity. Always on my favorite list of restaurants.

We came here for special family gathering. We came in at 5:30pm when dinner starts. It was quiet and nice and comfortable. We were talking softly and enjoying the atmosphere. Appetizer was good, service was good. At about 6:30pm, there were 2 groups came, one 5 and another 10 people. People starts to talk loudly and suddenly it lost the upscale environment. We didn't expect a super quiet place, but definitely not group gathering and laughing cheering. The main course is okay. Good portion, and the quality is good, though not exceptional. But it's definitely good. The price is good also. Much cheaper than many other French restaurants. Worth it.

My girl loves to go out for fancy restaurant, and this is the one she loves and was very satified for her BD. All the foods were decorated beautiful, and the service are so nice. We did not expect that we could have a private room for our family and my daughter's BD flan cake cheering on this special day. We loves the France Wine, and my three kids really like the Deer Disk. We had a great night. Will definitely coming back for other occasions.

We have dined at this restaurant about 6 times over the past 2 years. The food is consistently creative and delicious. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is wonderful for visiting with a small group of friends. It can also be very romantic for celebrating a special occasion. This is possibly my favorite restaurant in Santa Clara County!

Wine pairings were outstanding and innovative. Courses included more cheese than I prefer, which is maybe a French thing.
