Cool space with lots of mirrors and a 2nd floor balcony. Our waiters were awesome I wish I took a photo of the Afro on one of the guys who was singing to every song that came on 

Uneven food and a couple dishes needed some work on presentation. My burrata was absolutely luscious and my fish was perfect. I would skip the cheese plate completely

More awesomeness in Paris. First, I give 5, yes 5 stars even though... I'll explain in a minute the "even though". The menu is what you might expect from a French bistro. Smaller portions, but reasonably priced. I ordered the crispy pork belly - as you should! 

But first, the bartender has a scotch on the shelf called Aultmore Darkness - it's only a 6 year but it's fantastic. Give it a shot. You'll make an immediate friend of the bartender. Also, he really took care of me. The olives, the bread and butter, and the espresso were all fabulous. Also, I asked the bar tender to recommend a good wine pairing with my pork. He did, I trusted him completely and it was fantastic. The chocolate cake for dessert. Period. 

Back to my "even though", the pork belly was fantastic, really fantastic, but it was not hot. The whole entree was luke warm. Maybe it was because it was 1°C out, I'm not sure. Other reviewers complained of warm food as well. Who knows. I did not send it back. It was still fabulous. 

The restaurant and bar are beautiful btw. Great atmosphere.

I feel bad giving "Les Chouettes" only 3 stars.
Our party of 4 recently had dinner there.
The venue is absolutely stunning, made up of 3 different levels.
Not sure if we got unlucky, but both the food and the service left a sour taste in our mouths.
-1 appetizer was brought twice to our table
-I ordered the steak filet, which was perfectly cooked but had no taste
-they did not have any meat cutting knife
-a friend ordered the lamb dish, it was barely warm when it got to our table so we had to send it back

On the plus side, we ordered a good bottle of wine (Chateau du Plessis 2007) and it was reasonably priced.

Our waiter was friendly, perhaps too friendly as he used French slang words a lot.

Had a lunch here on a cozy Sunday in Paris. Finding a great place to dine on a Sunday can be a bit of a challenge in Paris on a Sunday, as half the restaurants in the city are closed, so this was a great pick! 

The space is stunning and has a great energy. It's lively and relaxed at the same time with a huge skylight and tons of natural light pouring in. 

The menu was not huge but had a nice selection of fish and meat dishes. We ordered a started to share and two mains. Service was painfully slow. The macaroni gratin was fantastic to start and really unique with mushrooms. The salmon entree was ok and artfully presented  and pork was dry and on a bed of salty beans with prosciutto. 

Paris Brest for dessert was sublime. Even though service suffered I would return as I loved the atmosphere and the food was decent.

Total snobs.  Not tourist friendly, and impossible to make a reservation.  Attempted to go here 4 times, which looked half empty.  The same host would not simply make a reservation for us.  My hotel tried making one for us to be placed on hold and hung up on.  Even the hotel concierge called them snobs.  

This restaurant looks beautiful which gave them an extra star and I would have liked to try it, but the service needs to get over themselves.  It's just food, and I'm sure if you came to my hometown of New York, you would not want to be treated this way.

Great intérieur, great cocktails, and delicious appetizers. Unfortunately our experience was tarnished by the bad service. The waiter kept forgetting to bring our drinks and waters, and when he did bring them it was one at a time. He would take a drink order from one person and forget to ask the rest of the table if they wanted something. 
I will go back to this place because it's such a treat in the heart of the Haute Marais neighborhood, but I'm really hoping for a more professional service next time.

Great decor, disappointing food and service. The menus were off, the one in English different from the one in French. The 2 menus had different prices for the same items. It took the server three tries to finally give us the correct menus. Then the food when it finally came: The parsnip soup was tasty but served lukewarm. The tiger prawns were served so lightly grilled that the interiors were raw and had to be sent back. We were seated near the bar which was a focal point of the room. Unfortunately the barmaid seemed tense and was banging things around. The manager was in the house but the service details were unfortunately not under control.

Lovely decor, horrible maitre d', mediocre drink options- that's how I would sum up this place. We went in for some drinks late afternoon, around 5:30 on a Sunday. The manager there told us it was "complet" and told us to sit at the bar. Mind you, there were only like 5 people downstairs and just a few people upstairs (it was pretty obvious the place was less than half-full!!!)
We asked if we could sit upstairs (and no, we didn't speak English but in fluent French (well, my companion did)) so I don't think it was even the sort of obnoxious service you get for "looking like tourists.") He kept saying it was fully booked for dinner (starting around 20:00). We told him it is 17:30 now and we are just going to have drinks and will not stay till dinner time. But still no.
The seating at the bar wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for all the stuff that was piled on top there. I was ready to just give up and sit there, but really, there wasn't even room to place my handbag on the counter top! And there were some dusty pieces of god knows what. After seeing me pushing around some stuff there just so I could sit, the manager finally relented and let us up to the third floor (or in French, the second floor). The waitress up there was actually quite friendly but by then we were not in a good mood from all the hassling we had to do downstairs. What's more is that there are not many wine options or tea options (I had a quick look at the food menu and it didn't look all that appealing either.) honestly, I don't understand what the big fuss about this place is. Yes, it's pretty with its Eiffel style and some impressive tiles (I think the only good thing I got out of the experience was a nice pic of my feet and the tiles), but putting up with horrible service (horrible even by Paris standards) and mediocre food and drink options just ruined everything. There are many other pretty places in Paris that don't come with a side of bad service. Will not be back.

Nice day, attractive outdoor setting, ideal place for lunch, just down the street from our flat. No staff in sight. Went inside and established contact with a waiter, told him (in French) we were 2 for lunch, outside, OK?

Waiter turned up eventually outside with drinks for the only other customers out there. After taking his time to set out the drinks, then decided to clear an empty table. Very slowly. He didn't look in our direction, or acknowledge our presence in any way, despite having spoken to us inside. What a *****. 

We have spent a lot of time in Paris, and in many other areas of France and have frequently tried to  contradict the universal opinion foreigners have of the French as arrogant and rude, because we have usually found the opposite. After this experience we might have to reconsider.

Beautiful ambience right in the middle of the Marais. Met a friend here after many years. Had wine at the upstairs bar with a couple of appetizers. Great place for people watching and also for quick service!
