Relais Louis XIII, Paris

We went on the recommendation of our Hotel's concierge. We had the menu degustation since only one of us drinks alcohol and there were only two fairly ordinary half bottles on the list and the menu came with appropriate wines. Unfortunately, the sauces were inadequately reduced, there was a rather odd lobster and foie gras ravioli; and the mainfish course, turbot, was both tasteless and over-cooked. Overall, we were surprised that the restaurant had two rosettes from Michelin.

Great food, great service, but half the customers were wearing jeans! Not what we are used to with Michelin-starred restaurants. This restaurant should enforce a dress code.

This place has it all--terrible food, rude service, high prices. One of us ordered lamb, but what arrived was unrecognizable. Another ordered tuna, which looked liked overcooked shoe. How did Relais Louis XIII make it into the Red Guide?

I liked everything about this place! The food was amazing and the service was great! I can't wait to come back and try something new.
