    After waiting an hour and a half for our reserved table we didn't feel comfortable staying for dinner especially after seeing a hair on one of the two napkins. This experience was especially disappointing because I was planning on proposing to my partner during the evening. The only constructive feedback I have for this restaurant is to set time limits on tables for special nights like tonight to ensure patrons can get their tables in a timely manor.

    Terrible experience. They tend to overbook reservations, so be prepared to wait until they figure out where to seat you, probably near the kitchen or in the middle of the hall. The service is awful, and the food is not at the level of their price tag. Keep looking; there are way better places to dine in Coral Gables.

    I don’t give reviews but this warranted it. Party of 3. We all ordered chicken. It came raw. We sent back. It came raw again for 1 of us. Minimal apology. No compensation. I ordered a cappuccino to enjoy with my soufflé and it came after I finished because the assistant waiter reminded our waiter. Just sad in every way today. Hard to justify going back.

    The food was bland and the service was bad. This place is not what it used to be. We asked to speak to the manager and he never came. Very disappointed especially since it was our anniversary. We will never be going there again. Sad because it was one of our favorite places.

    Me and my husband decided to dine at Pascal’s this evening. Hoping to enjoy dinner at a fine dining, French establishment, we were left disappointed and shocked. The evening started with us deciding on the four course tasting menu, accompanied with the wine pairing. The service started off great, but as the restaurant got busier, it was noticeably getting worse. The wine pairings came out after the entrees were presented, not presenting each dish properly with the accompanying wine. These factors did not bother us at first until the end of our meal. At the beginning of the meal we requested the cheese plate to follow the dessert an additional cost of $10. When we received our soufflé and wine pairing, after waiting over 30 minutes, and it was not worth the wait. The soufflé was drenched with coco powder that was over powering, it was not good. We requested the bill and noticed the cheese plate was added, even though we did not receive it. After the bad experience with the dessert we were no longer hungry and asked for the cheese plate to be removed. Another server returns to our table with the cheese plate we requested to have removed, we told them to bring it back. Our waitress returns and informs us the chef has told her that she has to charge us and we can take it home. Me and my husband were left speechless, excuse me? She then indicated to us it is not her fault she is just doing her job. The audacity of a restaurant owner to charge a $10 plate after their servers never brought it out and we are forced to pay for it? After paying over $300 for the tasting and pairing, to think it is proper service of a fine dining restaurant to charge the customer for a cheese plate ha. What a joke this restaurant is, I will never recommend or speak of this restaurant again. Remember, it is the customer who keeps the restaurant in business. Uphold yourselves to a better standard, so disappointing.

    My go to French restaurant these days. I love Pascal’s, the quality, delicacy and flavor of the food is just top of the line. They have a great selection of wines (of course!) to pair with your meals, great ambiance and just pure quality. Sadly the terrace is closed, but you can still have an amazing experience. My recommendation is to order the French staple dishes, you will not regret it.

    Many times in this restaurant. I came last Thursday Aug, 3rd, 2023 and I was disappointed with the main 2 desserts they made which are “Traditional Bittersweet Chocolate Souffle With Chocolate Ganache” and “The grand marnier Soufflé” were absolutely a mess. We never received an apologies from the chef about it. We told it to the staff and and I think that in this kind of restaurant it cannot happen. Next day, I will tell the chef that he tastes the dessert on my face. I hope that chef Pascal takes into account comments like mine, which are only about good food and service and it is only what I ask for.

    My husband and I recently dined at Pascal's on Ponce and it was truly and unforgettable experience. The meal was perfectly prepared and served, the service was impeccable, the ambience is the epitome of understated elegance. Pascal's on Ponce is a gem in Coral Gables!

    I had dinner with my family and had a pleasant time with the service, ambiance and wine. The price on the menu has increased in most choices by almost $4 when compared to their website (online) menu. We ordered the lamb rack and it came with just 2 pieces, which was a little disappointing considering the price on it ($51), and the duck confit was over the dry aspect. We had a very delightful experience with the foie fras as our appetizer. The decoration of the restaurant is plain and a little "cold" looking. Frequently vacationing in France has set my standards for the French cuisine experience high. Thank you

    I'll just say this. Everyone at the table agreed it was the best meal we have ever had. Elegant, classy and just awesome. The wait staff is beyond attentive, the menu is amazing and the words can't do the desserts justice. Worth every penny

    I love French food and this came up in my recent search and had a healthy 4.4 rating so I'm of course in. Everything started well, table was ready when promised inside and with a nice view. The place looked presentable and I proceeded to order a bottle of wine. Tasted fine and started sipping as we looked at the menu. The menu sounds great with fanciful description partly in French. I should have know by the amuse bouche which was some kind of stale crouton that the food here wasn't going to be great. But I'm hungry and adventurous so lets do this. Price for a bowl of mushroom soup which was ok was $21.00 so I figured this place is bringing it and so it was ordered with the foie gras as appetizers. The entrees were just not very good, escargot stuffed filet was overdone. It was also on the dry side too. Presentation was nice but couldn't overcome the lack of flavor other wise. Duck confit was just not good at all, tasted old and also overdone. This is a classic that you just have to get right if you want to call yourself a French restaurant. Finally we had the Baked Alaska which we were split on, but I thought it was very good, and frankly I don't know any other place in Miami that has it so I would definitely come for desert. The last negative thing to say here was a there was an uninvited "guest" that I watched crawl up the wall and walk across the ceiling before falling about 6 feet from our table. Maybe it came in from the outside but just based on how the meal went overall I just had to laugh. It pains me to write all this because the staff seemed very nice and the service was actually very good. But for $300 for two people I wont be back to see if things improve.

    I had such a lovely experience here for my Birthday. We did the 5 course pairing, and everything was absolutely delicious. The lamb was cooked and crusted to perfection. I truly appreciate the service and attentiveness of the staff. I look forward to coming back on my next trip.

    Fantastic place. I've been to this restaurant several times now and the food is amazing. Everything my partner and I have tried is spot on, cooked perfectly and impeccably. During our various visits, we've tried the steak, the soup, the cheese souffle, the chocolate souffle, the chicken with truffle, the lamb, the fois gras, the cheese platter, the tasting menu--all excellent. Service is very attentive as well. They are there when needed without hovering. All in all, a very good experience every time. BTW, my spouse loves margaritas and he says Pascal's has one of the best ones in Miami. Recommend wholeheartedly and will go back for sure.

    We first tried Pascals in 2018 loved it then as much as we did last night. There is lots of great food in Coral Gables but finding relaxed, attentive perfect wine service as Pascals does is much more difficult. All of our dishes were very yummy. Looking forward to our next visit
