"TL;DR Food is nothing but average: too much garlic and overcooked. Service is average and nothing better. I got to get this out of the way first, out server was SO ANNOYING. Every single time he came up to our table, he would ask us if we were celebrating something. Every time we'd say no. Every time he kept asking. It clearly shows inattentiveness. We ordered a bunch of dishes. We ordered oysters Rockefeller, escargot and frog legs for starters. The oysters were very good, but the escargot and frog legs had WAY too much garlic. I'm typing this hours later and still have the taste of garlic in my mouth from these two freaking dishes. You literally couldn't taste anything but garlic. Many of us subbed the house salad for our entree for the onion soup. The onion soup is very good here as many have pointed out. I can confirm that it is very good. I got the salmon, and the rest of the people in my party got the rack of lamb, halibut and chicken cordon Bleu. The salmon was okay. The cranberry topping you could barely taste. As a result the salmon was quite bland and it was also slightly overcooked. The mashed potatoes were decent: they were silky smooth. The rack of lab was clearly way over cooked from the photos. It was definitely medium well instead of medium rare. The portion size was good, but it definitely wasn't salted enough and tasted a little gamey, when I tried it. I was told the halibut was good, but the chicken cordon Bleu wasn't worth finishing. We threw all our leftovers away as we didn't think anything was worthwhile saving."

This was an extremely well chosen location for a farewell dinner. Much appreciate the staff, their attention to detail and the especially that farewell plate for dessert.Some might say it's pricey but I say you get what you pay for. I am not hungry in my belly or in my soul tonight.

Staff were outstanding!! Loved the escargot and Oyster Rockefeller. The Chocolate Mousse with cake desert was fantastic and was the highlight of the meal. Great beer selection and cocktails.I hope a Happy Hour menu is added. Wheelchair accessibility: Not easy to find Handicapped entrance.

We have been to Papillon many times over the last seventeen years. Celebrating my birthday at the restaurant with son-in-law and daughter was an outstanding experience and beyond expectation. Superbly cooked and presented Haddock, Ducking, Salad and Onion Soup. The staff were attentive and professional. Surprised when a birthday plate was presented that was beautifully created and inscribed. An evening to remember View menu

The food is super delicious and the service is amazingly great!!! Seldom you experienced an owner to take time to talk to customers but Charlie did! He prepared the super delicious strawberry flambé!!! His son was our server and he didn’t rushed us, he gives us time to decide what to order. I’ve noticed most of the customers are like Friends that they’ve known for long. The atmosphere is very serene and homey. This is a restaurant to go to for any occasion or celebrating a special occasion that turns an ordinary day to an extraordinary!!!
