Cafe Paris offered excellent food at reasonable prices. Very comfortable and friendly atmosphere with a staff who cared that you had a great experience! A variety of foods was available to suit all tastes and the bakery is outstanding.
We visited twice. Once on 11/25 and again on 11/26. On the first visit, we oogled the pastries, but no one came forward to help us. Determined, we went back the next day, and we did receive a lemon tart and a tiramisu. The desserts were wonderful, but the help was surly, at best. The first person we asked for help very clearly told us that she was too busy counting change to help, and the next complained about the manner in which the store was run while getting our order. We were unable to pay with anything but a credit card because "there was no management on site." While the desserts were indeed tasty, the lack of help would keep me from going back.
I visited on Aug 9 and had the lobster ravioli. It was very good, but I was starving about 2 hours later since the portion was so small (there were maybe 10 ravioli that were about 1"sq).
The thing that really disturbed me though was the fact that one of the female servers (wears a flower in her hair) used the restroom and did not wash her hands. I know this because I went in right after her, the sink was bone dry. I am glad she was not my server, but I won't be back to this restaurant for this very reason.
