   Always a favorite. Authentically French. And those desserts, always a high note to finish a nice experience

   My experience was not good. I read other reviews and saw it has bad score but decided give a chance. I had French onion soup and was surprised that it was not tasty, onion was undercook and it was not like a single dish , it was like just broth with onion. I’ve tried French onion soup before so I can compare with others. The second issue - they have iron chairs over there and when we came in for the dinner - the chairs were so cold il, it was hard to sit comfortably on them. We asked to give as a blanket or something but they didn’t have anything.

   The service was very good. The food, however, is incredibly mediocre. Everything tasted like it was pre-cooked and then reheated. Worst was the chocolate croissant - decent pastry layers but way too ‘oily’ and overcooked. For $6.50 a pastry, expected much better. Had high hopes based on the reviews.

   The overall experience was pretty uncomfortable. The waitress had a serious bone to pick with everyone. She couldn't get through her initial schpeal because she was so annoyed with a crying child. Then she was condescending about people not knowing the difference between sparkling rose vs champagne rose. She later offended a couple so much that they left before even ordering. The sirloin was good, but not worth $52. The duck was over cooked for both people and doesn't come with any sides - like 1/2 a baby carrot and 1/2 of a single cherry. When we expressed that the duck was unseasoned and asked for additional sauce, the waitress was put out and told us that we are supposed to be tasting just straight duck... no seasoning. She then brought out a plate of desserts without any explanation and just expected us to select something. It was really an unfortunate and uncomfortable experience. They weren't even remotely busy for a Saturday night and we felt really rushed. The service was bad bad bad.

   I came here on Valentine’s day evening with my partner and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! First of all, the ambiance of the restaurant and the service from the staff was impeccable, all staff was attentive to guests and very accommodating for any of our needs. Secondly, the pre fixed menu and wine pairings for the night were absolutely perfect in every way. The journey that the menu takes your pallet through is beautiful and the presentation was impressive as well. We had a spectacular evening and will certainly be back in the future!

   Worst Valentines Day experience. Don’t recommend to anyone.

   Cepae L’Experience Paris - BellevueResponded on February 20, 2023According to your feedback, "I booked a valentines day experience and the experience I had is like a Thanksgiving experience because 5 couples were sharing the dining table." Turns out you booked the "community table": though we ensured there were more space than a regular day between diners, when you book a spot at the "community table", you should expect to seat at a community table. We would recommend booking earlier next time to secure a regular table.

    The food is classic French, executed well. We had six courses - amuse, appetizer, soup, main, cheese, dessert. They were excellent, excepting that the braised lamb appetizer was a little bland, and the cheeses overwhelmed by four massive bread slices (a very nice pain de campagne, however). The wine pairing was excellent. The dishes, however, arrived ice cold under the food. Consequently the food arrived at the table already cooling. The soup, in particular, was only warm and not hot. And the room itself was cold - probably because the outside weather was near freezing, but it did detract from the experience. Julien, the owner and host, moved through the room as we ate, serving wine and chatting with guests. The wait staff were equally attentive. Overall, a very good experience with only minor complaints. Would recommend.

    One of the worst dining experiences I have had in our area. Food took forever to arrive and was sparse to say the most. Very tiny portions. Place is seriously understaffed by servers and service was really strained. Do not go here. Not a satisfying dining experience.

    Their NYE special “experience” dinner was by far the worst food I’ve ever had. For starters, their ambience was like an interrogation room with light shining on your face. I asked to have them turned off but they couldn’t do it. I ordered a wine pairing and many of the wines came either before or after the food they paired with. The “experience” lasted for over three hours with 30-45 minutes wait between each dish. When I asked why it was taking so long, the waitress made the laughable excuse that it was for us to “enjoy our company”. When the food finally arrived, they were minuscule and tasted terrible. All the “food” were lukewarm, flavorless, and tasted like they were microwaved. Only the dessert was good out of the entire meal. It seemed like they tried to mimic haute foods but failed miserably. They neither had the experience nor the care to make decent foods. They called it a “night in Paris” but it was more like a night in Pyongyang.

    Food was absolutely incredible- manager was really rude. They had the reservation wrong and then tried to make us squeeze into a 4 top with 5 people because “the system made a mistake and they don’t allow reservations of 5”. However, I made the reservation for 5 with no issue, confirmed it for 5 and showed up on time w 5 people. The servers were great- but the manager was rude, dismissive, unhelpful and ignored us and left her team to scramble and accommodate us. I felt bad for them that they have such terrible leadership. With all that said- I’d sit at a dumpster to eat those croissants again, so oh well

    Horrible service!!! Worst experience in Bellevue ever! We came in for my birthday breakfast and forgot our masks in the car. I didn’t want to go back to the car. Immediately when we walked in the server asked to put the mask on. I told her we don’t have any and if she can give me one I will wear it. She said they charge a dollar for each, which I think is ridiculously expensive but oh well whatever. Then she asked with a sarcasm “are you from King Country?” (Implying we should know better!!! I answered yes, she said “Hm, interesting “. That was very rude! We were sitting at our table for 25 min waiting to get an order! Same server came to take our order, so I got the feeling she was punishing us for walking in without a mask. She took our order and added that if we need to walk around the restaurant we need to put a mask back on! Ok, but not OK! We waited another half an hour for coffee and food. My espresso was barely room temperature, my husband’s latte was a little warmer. I had salmon and avocado egg Benedict, which was very good. My hubby had mister Croquet and it was ok. We also had some pastries to go. At the end of our dining the server stated AGAIN the when we leave we need to put masks on 🙄 So total 3 times!!! Really??? I just simply forgot one in the car, i did not refuse to wear it at the restaurant, I did not argue or made a scene. And this is how I’m being treated? This is unacceptable! I do not recommend this place and I would not go back. And yeah happy birthday to me

    The three of us have been there the week before for the first time so we decided to come back yesterday for brunch and we felt bad for the waitress because they were short staffed but the most disappointing point was the fact that one of my daughters didn’t get her food because the waitress had thought when my other daughter ordered for both of them we will “both get the same thing - eggs Benedict “ she assumed they were going to share an order so one of my daughters and myself ate our food when it came but my other daughter had to sit and wait until hers was ready and then she felt rushed so she couldn’t enjoy the experience eating all together. Our server felt bad about it and gave my daughter a croissant on the house to eat in the meantime but it still made the experience not so great. Not $74 well spent

    L'Experience Paris is my happy place! Two years in COVID quarantine and this is the perfect place to start to enjoy a bit of freedom. They make the best french toast on the Eastside, maybe anywhere around here. The pastries are the best and the service is friendly and perfect. Rachel is my server and she made the time just delightful, with every accommodation to personalize my enjoyment. I look forward to more times in my happy place...with dinner next on the menu!!! My best advice: enjoy life at L'Experience Paris and tell them I sent you! Cheers!!!

    We had a divine time at L'Experience Paris...one of my first times out since almost two years in COVID quarantine, and so worth it!!!From the first moment with our lovely server, Rachel, who made the time so welcoming and special to the final trip through the bakery for take home treats...it was a true treat. I had the yummy chocolate and hazelnut french toast which was the best I have ever had, and my friend had the excellent ham and cheese quiche, also good. I indulged in the choco-nut patisserie with an americano, my first ever, which was perfect. We both took home something to enjoy the next day: I got the kouign which is meant to be dense and chewey and carmely, which was perfect, and she got the pain de chocolate, also perfect. I look forward to returning soon and can recommend this lovely place highly! It is a pleasure to have such a sweet spot to call my special place!!!

    Either unstaffed, which didn't seem so since it wasn't busy, but service was really lacking. I noted that other tables needed service and had difficulty getting a server's attention. They also didn't seem to know what had already happened at a table.

    That Mimosa is fantastic especially if you are there for a dating or for the celebration. It brings the Romantic “experience” and is just great for escaping from the city atmosphere, which is fantastic, really! We were here for the brunch, and actually were there once before for the first try. We ordered Lime cake and that was fantastic as well. We got the croissant this time and unfortunately it was not warmed up. If it were warmed up, it could be very delicious, we just did not expect it was cold. We will be there again to take the warm croissant. I am very and super picky about the croissant simply because 20-ish years ago I had super delicious ones on the Swiss Airplane. I remembered texture and the crispy surface with the warm feeling, and always try to seek that experience. It was unfortunately we got a cold cross Issa the. I felt it could be the close one I had, but I could not justify due to the cold temperature. We will definitely return to check the warm and hot croissant. These two times, we both felt the coffee was just ok. This is a place for Mimosa and dessert definitely.
