   Food and service were really great. We got the carnita bowl and baked eggs.

   The food and the service were great. Our server Jake was very accommodating. My only problem was that I had to pay for an expensive dinner twice. Open table had charged my card earlier the day of our dinner which I thought was strange, so it was surprising when we received the check and the dinner was on there again. I was reassured that this was a hold on my card that would be processed and returned, however I felt this was very unprofessional and strange to charge twice for dinner and return one at a later date.

   Went for the valentine’s menu. The steak was unevenly cooked, it was well on the outer fringe but bloody in the middle. It was served with some cream or gravy that turned pink with the blood. The salad and desert were ok, but overall the meal was very disappointing for a set menu night. Which is a surprise because I have been a patron of Ben Paris for years (hooked by the duck leg confit), so I expected much better. Needless to say my date was not very impressed.

   This was probably one of the worst dining experiences I've had in ages. At the price of $85 per person: Salad - wilted/sad looking with uncooked "croutons" that seemed to have been forgotten to go into the oven. Scallop Risotto - no, it wasn't. The rice pilaf was dry, not risoto. And it was swimming in some canned tomato sauce with 4 little, insanely over cooked rubber scallops. Chocolate cake - took it home and didn't eat it. We had to go order food to take home, so we didn't want to spend any more time there. It's not usual that I actually wish I could ask for a full refund, but I would for this experience. The service was mixed - the guy running the food was angry to be there, but our server was chatty.

   Service was very bad. Only 1 waiter, cocktails came about 10 minutes after appetizers were already brought out, waiter said the bar was backed up after we had to ask for an update. The lamb pasta dish was lukewarm and the noodles were still hard, needed more cooking time. I will not be recommending nor coming back.

   Expertly made cocktails raise Ben Paris a notch above the rest! The kitchen really delivers the goods, also!

   Servers are all very nice. Food is ok. The avocado toast is not so fresh. Omelette is dry. Pancake and truffle fries are very good.

   We finished our food before we got the mimosas we ordered. Then we realized the server forgot to put in the order for our mimosas. I wish the food wasn’t so dry. Other servers asked us how everything was and we Mentioned that we still don’t have our drinks and they Would just leave to get them and never Come back. We finally got them after 30 minuets
