The purpose of Miami Spice is to allow the public to sample your food so it would entice us to return to the restaurant at a later date. Unfortunately our experience was horrible. Our waiter was very slow. We sat and watched while another waitress had walked back and forth handling all of her tables with ease and offering our waiter’s tables water and bread. The icing on the cake was that my Miami Spice meal was over cooked and horrible. My wife’s sea bass was good but I wouldn’t recommend the overcooked lamb shoulder with a sauce thrown on top. Too bad. I had high hopes for Making this restaurant a regular on our list. Better French food elsewhere.

Probably the best desserts in Miami, the soufflés are to die for - rest of the menu is solid but really pricey, some of the portions could be bigger , like the duck, compared to their competition in town - great service and good wines.

The foie gras appetizer was like butter, so smooth and not a heavy flavor. Also the Gruyère cheese soufflé was heavenly. The French bread is warm and crispy. The main reason I love this restaurant is for the duck entree. I have not been able to find any other restaurant that compares to the duck served in Paris. The mushroom sauce it comes with is just delicious as well. Sides are small, that would be the only criticism.

We were here for Miami Spice. We had the cheese souffle as an added option with the seabass. Both were beautifully prepared and delicious. We also added the Grand Marnier souffle for dessert. I have been coming here for years (since the 90's) and Pascal has always been my favorite French restaurant in Miami

Not only was the restaurant crowded, the noise level was unbearable. You could not have a conversation with the person seated next to you it was so loud, and the tables were cramped. Our server had an attitude. The Miami Spice menu was NOT as advertised. The food was very good, but again the menu was changed, and the restaurant ran out of menu items. There were eight of us; none of us will return. There are other French restaurants with stellar food, better service, and a better attitude.

Classic French recipes, done very well. Not modern, but welcome. The tarte tatin was perfect. The mussels and cheese soufflé appetizers were excellent. Service was very good. Ambience is nondescript, not bad but not charming, either. Miami Spice menu was good but full of supplement charges, so value was medium

The restaurant is very nice. Food was excellent, the only suggestion I have is serve a bit more on your side entrees. I'm not sure if it was because I ordered from the Miami Spice menu, the Salmon was delicious, but the side that came with it was very little. The waitress was also very dry, not very friendly. Overall the place was nice.

Pascal‘s excellent reputation is well earned based on our experience there as first-timers. It is truly a fine dining establishment, and that is reflected in the pricing. But we found the food and service to be well worth it –– particularly as we took advantage of their Miami Spice menu. Everything was delicious, with the stars of the show being the starter and dessert soufflés (upcharges for both). Excellent wine list, as well.

We love Pascals for a special evening out. We’re never disappointed. Our server Ronnie was very attentive and personable. It was nice that the chef came out and asked about our meal. We had an appetizer of cheese soufflé, mains were beef tenderloin and duck confit. Dessert is always chocolate and Grand Marnier soufflés. One for each of us!

I don't go very often but, on every occasion, I had the best experience. Outstanding menu. The food perfect re: text and portion sizes. The service and background music (selection and volume) completed a great dinner. Classy restaurant for those that can appreciate the dedication and excellence of all responsible to make it so enjoyable.

A quick comment on the menu. My wife and I dined at Pascal's twice in the past 8 days. Both times, we received an e-mail from you and had checked the menu online. Both times, the posted menu was not the same as the dinner menu. Now, the meals were terrific, but in both cases, I saw an item that looked interesting, only to learn that it wasn't available that evening. There is a disconnect somewhere.

We had been there before and loved the food. Last night's dinner was once again excellent, except for the chocolate souffle. We found the souflle to be very dry and bland. It wasn't until we saw a souffle bing served at another table, that we realixed that our server (who was very slow), had never poured the chocolate syrup on our souffle. When we called her over and mentioned that to her, she started blaming the food runner (even though "she" was the one who had served our souffle). Her only solution was to offer to bring us the melted chocolate, even though we had already finished our souffle. needless to say, we passed on that offer. She never offered to remove he charge for the souffle from our bill. We're not sure if she was a new employee, but her service was mediocre at best, and closer to poor. We did not see a Manager on site to point this things out to him/her.

Pascal’s is a case study in what happens to a great chef who refuses to keep up with the times. The food quality is great, flavors are great, technique well executed. Presentation looks like a magazine from 1984. Paying top dollar for a room that desperately needs a makeover and outdated presentation will always result in what Pascal’s is. Empty. It’s a shame, because the food is very good. The service was lovely and heartfelt. But diners want more. I wish them well, but as two of only 4 diners on a Friday night I fear it may already be too late for them to make a change. Go here and taste this food before it inevitably closes. I truly hope they make the effort to modernize this place a bit because the food really is delicious.
