   Ever since they changed owners, it's not the same. The restaurant used to have a complete bar selection, and now it only has wine and beer. The food was ok, but not great, especially for the price we paid.

   The Food and the service continúes to be superb. My only criticism was that they no longer offer hard liquor, but they do offer a good selection of reasonable priced international wines. New owners will probably introduce other items in the menu with some Basque/Catalan heritage. Looking forward to it!

   Food was great but they charge for sharing appetizers and desserts which is beyond my comprehension. They did not split the charged items either. The cheese sougfle is a must try and their beef tenderloin with foie gras is delicious.

   Pascal's had a change of ownership a couple of months ago. Fortunately, the kitchen staff (except Chef Pascal) and service staff are still there. The food was great as always, and the service was professional, responsive, and overall delivered a great experience. My only issue is that as the business changed ownership, it no longer has a full bar. We were told that it was done because of lack of demand for cocktails. Interestingly enough, we sat in between two couples, both of which are 20+ year Pascal's customers, and they also attempted to order cocktails and were told that things had changed. I realize that a full liquor license for a place as small as Pascal's is a significant expense, but unfortunately that will be a factor for me in deciding where to go going forward.

   This is my forever favorite restaurant. Chef Pascal recently sold it & we were skeptical. The food remains great. Chef Danny follows in the steps of Chef Pascal & continues to deliver quality dishes, especially the cheese souffle & filet mignon. However, many touches were missing. The walls were stripped of the artwork & the place feels bare. There were no fresh flowers on the tables; flowers they were replaced with generic touch lamps. The amuse bouche is no longer given & they ration the bread. You receive one piece of bread per person, which although delicious, was not enough. Of course, you can ask for more, but where is the breadbasket? Chef pascal would always prepare an off-menu pasta for our son what was so divine. It was simple buttered noodles with cheese, but it was so decadent. Unfortunately, this time it was tasteless. A huge draw of this restaurants were always the souffles. Now, the only souffle available is the Grand Marnier; chocolate & pistachio souffles are longer offered). Lastly, Pascal would always send petits fours gifted with dessert. Those are gone, too. These might seem like small details, but they were what made Pascal's on Ponce extraordinary. The food continues to be good & the service was fantastic, but the essence has changed. I hope the new owner realizes that these were the touches that drew faithful clients to Pascal's for years. Overall, excellent dining experience with delicious food & good service. We will continue to go but hope some of those fancy touches return because it made the place more special.
