Classic haute French cuisine at its best in a beautiful setting inside the Marais. One of my favourite restaurants in Paris and hope will never lose its three Michelin stars because the guide tends to penalize classic cuisine in favour of anything “creative”. Here the portions are generous, the presentation classic, and execution is perfect. Service is traditional. A great culinary experience.

Bonjour!
I‘m writing to you regarding dinner experience last night.
Aside from the food, the service was very disappointing last night. Since we were sitting next to real flowers, I understand there could be bugs. Throughout the meal, a bug flew around the table,bugging us around the whole time, and eventually sitting on the rim of my wine glass. However, when I informed the server, he just waved my wine glass to flick the bug away and went straight back to work. There was no change of glass or apology. I’m not sure that was the proper way of service of the three-starred restaurant. My partner changed his water glass because it smelled fishy, but the new glass still smelled fishy. I visited some of Michelin restaurants in different countries and even in Paris, but this kind of service and response was shocking for me. I believe a three-star restaurant is not just a place to come for food, but a place to experience the overall service and atmosphere. I don't know how far my reviews will go or the service team will listen, but I'm writing this because I hope it will help you run your restaurant in the future. I’m writing this long because I want other potential customers who will be visiting your restaurant from abroad to experience a better service.
Thank you for reading my comments so far.
Hope I can get a lot better experience next time I visit L'Ambroisie.

Dont get fool by the looks of the food.The food did not live up to the hype although the presentation of the food was nice only the scallops and lagoustine was ok not worth the price. The pigeon sauce was extremely salty. The service was ok not anything special not worth anything near one thousand euros. This restaurant summarize the whole michelin industry of being a big SCAM. Pairing of flavors is subpar especially the weird pairing of oysters and a earthy watercress sauce.

We were really looking forward to eating at L'Ambroisie however neither food nor service lived up to our expectations. The captans were patronizing and condescending - on one occasion the captain didn't like the way I cut foie gras, so he literally wrestled the silver wear out of my hands so he could cut it himself; multiple times, when asking how our dish was, he would say:"That's because I recommended it."
Food was also neither traditional French nor very creative. Simply boring.
I suspect, because we attended a dinner during the Olympic games, they assumed that we weren't the food connoisseurs  and could be treated as novices.

I had trouble finding a lot of information out about L'Ambroisie for English speakers/Americans. I found a few blogs and Reddit posts, but nothing solid, so I wanted to write down what to expect.

Treat this like gambling. The money is already spent. you will spend a few hundred Euro per person. That's just the name of the game. You'll enjoy it a lot better if you don't do the math while you eat.

Dress code. I went in November. Every guy had at least a sport coat, button down, nice slacks, and nice shoes. Every woman had a nice sweater or dress. I saw a few posts that said people sometimes show up dressed down, that was not my experience. Dress up, you're going to a nice dinner.

The restaurant was very quiet until all of the tables were sat and having conversations.

There is not an English menu and it changes sometimes. So be ready to ask some questions, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable with any questions we had.

Every course is expected to be an order for each. In America, we will share an appetizer or dessert, that's not the experience at L'Ambroisie. You both order an appetizer, you both order a cheese course, you both order a dessert.

When you enter, you will be asked if you have a reservation and if you have a coat, someone will take it. You'll then be shown your table where everyone will have their chair pulled out and pushed in for them.

L'Ambroisie does not do cocktails but has one of the most expansive wine lists I've ever seen. Use the sommelier, she was excellent. She knew what we had chosen for our mains and based off of the type of wine we said we normally drink, she picked a lovely bottle for us.

Come hungry. The starters are huge and could be mains on their own. You'll want a starter, you'll want a main, and you'll likely want the cheese course after dinner and dessert.

I had lobster, my partner has scallops in a nice curry sauce.

When you order the cheese course, a huge tray of some of the best cheeses will come to your table. You'll be visited by the cheese monger who will ask about preferences and suggest some cheeses and will cut it at the table for you.

Plan on taking your time. You're there for the full experience. You'll likely be eating for two hours. Overall, great experience.
