Only giving 3 stars because of the good service and friendly waitstaff. As someone that loves French cuisine and has been to France, specifically Paris numerous times, I found myself very disappointed in the food here. The steak with bone marrow had little to no flavor, luckily the fries were good. The lobster bisque was very fishy and smelled like it went bad. My sister and father couldn't eat it after trying it. We felt bad sending it back, so we didn't say anything to the server. The Caesar salad came with hard boiled eggs and shredded chicken. Didn't have a whole lot of flavor either, and the dressing tasted like mayo. Not a fan of this restaurant. You can find much better options, and I highly recommend doing your research before booking a reservation at restaurants near the Eiffel tour.

Great food and wonderful service. Our first French food in Paris and everyone enjoyed it!    Our waiter was super friendly!

The food is quite good, even if the scallops were horribly overpriced for the tiny portion and the steak was similarly tiny. The spinach salad was literally spinach and dressing but it was so tasty that I wasn't even offended! The bread was *delicious*. 

The service is brisk and attentive. The restaurant is oddly long and decor is somewhat sterile, but it works! We liked it.

The location was convenient for us, and the street it's on made for a charming walk after dinner.

Usually I don't leave negative feedback but this time it was necessary to help others, especially Americans, do not get into such a bad experience!
My wife and I read reviews on yelp for this place and walked for good hour to have dinner. Instead we got into weird "welcoming" situations. They refused to sit us because all the tables are for 4 people and we had a party of 2 only!
The owner of this restaurant is very rude. Same his staff. Don't go there. If you are in the area, right around the corner is a nice tasty and friendly place named "Le Champ de Mars"! We end up there and had really good food and service!

Don't waste your time to come to this place. We checked reviews and walk for couple of miles to try this food. Half empty place. They refused to sit 2 people because they have tables for 4 people only available. Ridiculous

This is must stop. We put ourselves in our server's hands and had an incredible meal. My escargot was hands down the best I've ever eaten. My wife had the 3 course prix fixe. The starter was a "salad " of celery root noodles with a citrus dressing and poached egg. Wow!  This is primarily a local bistro. Go. Keep an open mind. Enjoy.

Came to dinner here at 8PM on a Monday night while traveling in Paris. We didn't have a reservation but got seated outside at a high top table right away once we arrived even though the place was very busy. Super cute bistro on a quiet street near the Eiffel Tower with a very nice/relaxed ambiance. Our waiter was really friendly and gave us very useful information about the daily specials. He was very patient with our broken French and even taught us a few words. For drinks, we got a small pitcher of white wine that was around 2 glasses per person that we split between two. The wine was good quality, smooth, and refreshing. For food we ordered:

Appetizer of the day: the daily special happened to be a delicious roasted eggplant with some tomato, pesto, and burrata. The eggplant was roasted perfectly, had really tender flesh and a very crispy skin. The cool, creamy burrata on top was perfect and balanced the dish well. 

Cod fillet in bouillabaisse sauce: this dish was very good! Came in a hot casserole (hence why this place is called "Cocotte" as mostly all dishes come in these stone bowls), and had flaky and tender cod with vegetables (peppers, peas, potatoes) in a tomato/paprika/fish sauce. 

Entree of the day: on Mondays they have a special veal stew (Axoa de veau) which my boyfriend ordered and really enjoyed. It had a tomato sauce that was very flavorful and some potatoes that also came in a hot casserole. The veal was cut in small tender pieces that were lean. The portion size was very nice. Super warm, comforting special and on Mondays it is only 20 euro!

Chocolate mousse: please order this, you will not regret it. The mousse was smooth, creamy, and light. It was topped with this homemade granola topping and some chocolate crumbles. Very nice flavor, not too sweet. One of the best mousses I have had. 

Highly highly recommend this place! It was a wonderful culinary start to our stay in Paris. They had many options for main dishes and the space was really nice. Service was also super friendly and pleasant. Look forward to coming back again in another occasion to try more of their delicious dishes.

A reservation is a must here ... very popular.

We were greeted nicely and were seated at the entrance. The menu is small but the choices are perfect.

We started we razor clams in a tomato sauce that was delicious ... we then ordered black squid, a chicken and potato plate, baked salmon and a risotto ... and wow, wow ... everything was excellent. 

The service was friendly and everyone spoke great English and a menu in English was also provided. 

The wine list is small but packs a punch ...

dinner for 4 with wine, 4 mains and 2 desserts was 225 Euros ... well worth it ...

All I gotta say is I loved my pigeon platter .  It was cooked medium rare and it came out delicious.  Tender and reminded me of a cross between beef and chicken .  The fluid saucey sauce that it came with was balanced very well and it was not salty one bit.  The accompanying veggies dressed it up well.   

The foie gras is duck and it's in pate form .  For me personally I'm not a big fan of the pate form but I did find the beauty in this form.  It reminded me of melted butter if you do it right. 

The scallops was minimal but def packed a punch.  The scallops here was fresh and prepared fine dining.  Shout out to the Chefs 

I'm glad I took a dive into this place because the food was good 

The reviews from prior threw me off.   Yes I agree the host can do better with the seating arrangements but heck I came here for the food 

Service was good and punctual.  Refilled water and brought out the bread.  Waiter also gave some recommendations  and explained their chef dinner specials 

Overall food was good as they have two managements working.  One in the front and one in the kitchen making sure everything comes out as it should. 
Thank you for dinner

One of our best meals in Paris!  Wonderful, welcoming staff with excellent service. You can tell they really pride themselves on their quality of food and service, which makes all the difference. 

We stopped in for a lunch and ordered the half caesar salad and sea scallops with spinach to share. Both were fantastic and so incredibly fresh. The Caesar had perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs and thinly sliced chicken in it with nice, small, flavorful croutons. The dressing was perfect and you can tell it was homemade. I love that they weren't skimpy with the dressing. Sometimes restaurants only give you a little but this salad was dressed to perfection. 

Really enjoyed the small, close-nit ambiance. They offer bar seating and also high top table seating. 

Wish I could pack this restaurant with me because I would definitely be a regular!
