Took about an hour for our entrees to come and had to flag our waiter down to get him to pay attention to us except for the times when he came over to tell us he screwed something up (which happened more than once) in which case he HOVERED after. Also, at the end, they were apparently out of the dessert I ordered, so instead of coming back to me to discuss other options, he brought two other desserts out that I would never have ordered. Who does business like this? Will not be back. There are much better places in the neighborhood.

Our first time at Paris Commune was a delight. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was delicious. The decor is worth mentioning - very nice. A restaurant worth a return visit, esp. with the $25 prix fixe till 7PM!

the food and the waiters are yummy

Friend of mine had gone to dinner here a week ago and raved about this place and so we followed her recommendation for my birthday dinner. The atmosphere is nice and the menu is enticing...nice twist on classic french bistro...atleast it reads like that. Though our server was polite, he was not very attentive to our table. We ordered our steaks medium and medium/well and received blood red centers; mine was still moo'ing. The Frites came plain; no cheese or truffle oil as described. It seemed as though aliens had abducted the real staff and replaced them with the cook from Sizzler and a substitute wait staff.

I am surprised by the reviews below because I always have a nice time at this place. The atmosphere is really fantastic with romantic lighting. My experience with the staff is that they're friendly but not in your face. It's been a little while since I've had a proper dinner here, but dessert is always great. And the wine selection is quite adequate.

I just came back from brunch, and am still in awe of how delicious the food was and how I've never been to Paris Commune before now... The warm gingerbread and the homemade whipped cream was incredible, our omelettes were light, fluffy and the cheese in mine was perfectly melted; The side of bacon was perfectly crispy and the french fries that came with our dish were just right. The service was excellent and super attentive to our needs - and in fact, when the gingerbread came out and was a little on the overcooked side, we got a new order fresh from the oven without any issues - and the table next to us, who had already eaten their gingerbread but also felt it was a bit stale, received a new order as well. I would definitely go to Paris Commune again and will recommend it highly for brunch next time someone's looking for a good place to eat.

Your hard-earned money and precious leisure time is better invested in other, better restaurants in the same neighborhood. Why, my beef-entree-trying-to-pass as steak frites (about $32) was not cooked properly and served to me medium-well and was not hot (I had specifically asked for "Rare") the accompanying fries were too greasy and needed to be drained more or at least patted down with a dry papertowel. My beautiful date's duck confit entree (about $29) was no better than the excellent $7 quarter chicken meal at a certain bbq chain. There must've been a shortage of true duck meat that evening: the duck leg looked more like half a canary's. True, I have seen larger poultry portions on a NYC pigeon. Overall, I felt a bit embarrassed in front of my date by the whole presentation and meal. But no one even bothered to stop by to see if everything was all right. We ended up turning our plates in to the busboy after only 3 or 4 bites. We both took only few tastes and tried to "go with it" to make the best of our supper together. It was at that point I just had to express my dislike for the entire meal. Thank God the busboy took the plates away as I personally just couldn't stand looking at them anymore. Someone on staff must have taken at least some care as we were at least comp'd with a bottle of basic red wine. But the invoice for this lame-o supper was a bitter pill to take. Well, I guess the location and overall setting maintains some appeal. For now, I can only recommend the bar and downstairs wine bar. Paris Commune has quite a lot of work to do: I just can't see how much lower the food quality can possibly descend at this point. It is indicative of an organization that no longer cares about the dining experience. At least I got clean cutlery. I say, under current economic conditions, do invest your money elsewhere!
