Initial Thoughts: "Ohh I love how you can see the kitchen grill from the dining area"

Reality Check: They microwaved my rotisserie chicken - not cute. The steak I had was decent, though badly needed flavor. 

Food here is OK - and I suppose for the food/value ratio its decent. 

Service was wildly unprofessional, where the dining area was playing vulgar music. Maybe its because it was towards the end of the night, or maybe the manager on duty was out? Its a totally nice time to eat with families while also hearing about thug life...right?

My friends and I dined at this chain restaurant located at Rue de Rome our first night in Paris. The waitress immediately new we were Americans and gave us the English version menu.

I was famished so I ordered salmon accompanied with a béarnaise sauce,
ratatouille and gratin de macaroni. The salmon was tender and flaky, the ratatouille was a perfect balance of vegetables and tomato sauce and the macaroni was nice and cheesy. I liked the fact that you could have as many sides as you wanted with certain entrees. I decided to save room for my dessert. I had the mousse au chocolat, this was smooth and chocolatey with a dollop of whipped cream. I nice light dessert to end a perfect meal.

Although my meal was delicious the service wasn't the greatest. It took forever for the waitstaff to take our orders and bring our checks. The price was right and I'd definitely would go back.

Loved this place. Most awesome hamburgers we have eaten in a long time, whether in the United States for anywhere else. They serve the best mojito in the world.

Service is decent and our waiter was good but the food cannot dig this place out of this massive hole. Everything was average until the main entrees showed up. It was beyond bad. Roast chicken was so dry I would not even feed it to a dog for fear that it would choke. Duck breast was rare but still so super tough. Only thing tougher than the duck was the crap steak. The 2 best parts of the meal was the free bread and leaving.

Nice little place! Good food, friendly service, decent prices and they speak English!

Good food/price ratio. You get a main course with fries for under 20 euros. I had the duck breast, which tasted nice and it was cooked perfectly! Staff is very friendly and can speak English :-) the interior wasn't that appealing, at first we didn't think much of it, but we were pleasantly surprised. Three stars well deserved!

Stumbled upon this place while walking from our hotel to the main shopping area at champ élysées.  Awesome service received from the staff and they spoke English and offered an English menu.  Thank you for your professionalism and hospitality.  Will return again :)
