   Yummy food in a warm, casual environment. Perfect for catching up with a friend. The only thing we wished for was that their dessert case was filled with their wonderful desserts. When we went on Sunday, the case only had a few remaining options. Normally, they are filled with beautiful and delicate tarts, pavlovas, cream puffs and beautiful artisan breads and croissants.

   This was our second time having brunch here. We were sat at high top tables in the most uncomfortable chairs. The staff seemed really frazzled and overwhelmed. The food is good, last time we were here they were out of a lot of stuff. Don’t think it’s worth sitting down, but come in and pick up pastries to go! Delicious pastries!

   Bought the Valentine’s Day experience, and it was disappointing. We got there at 8:30 and there was a line of people. They didn’t check us in or even acknowledge us until 20 minutes later when the manager handed out drinks to people standing in line. Got seated at 9. The people working there looked apologetic. There were no decorations, not even a single rose on the table. Food was mediocre, even the desert was meh.

   We had a great experience this valentine’s, although they were running a little behind with their sitting, the atmosphere, the host and the server made up for it, the food was exquisite, and they even offered champagne while we waited to be seated. The host and waitress compensated with their excellent service! We will come back, perhaps, next time for brunch.

   First time ever dining at Capae L’Experience Paris and on Valentine’s Day. Very busy but everything was moving like a well oiled machine and the staff was perfect at making sure that all patrons were being cared for waiting for a seat and dining. The staff was friendly and professional and the food was amazing. Definitely won’t be my last time dining here.

   I was at their Valentine's Day event with my significant other. Restaurant was overbooked, people who booked indepedent tables were forced to sit at the bar or the communal table. While my experience at the bar was great, the communal table was poorly lit and placed couples far apart from each other while being placed close to other parties. The taste and the quality of the food was absolutely phenomenal. I enjoyed every single dish from their 4 course dinner. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the portion size. When I was here for their Valentine's Day event in 2023 I remember the portions being almost too big, so personally it was a big disappointment when we were left still hungry by the end of the meal. This was a sentiment shared by both my partner and myself and I hope to see them improve on this issue.

   Was seated at bar counter even though tables were empty and one table still empty by the time we left. Metal stools uncomfortable. Food good. Wine, at $18/glass, for a wine that retails for $10. More than usual markup.

   This was my first time at this restaurant, and although I appreciated the ambiance and French music, our service was very slow. We felt forgotten and ignored. I had to ask someone to take our order well after a good 20 min wait. They also kept forgetting to bring other things we requested. The food was good, but they definitely don’t rush to help you or even acknowledge you when you’re standing at the counter.
