We had a great time here celebrating our anniversary. While the food alone should warrant 5 stars, it was the wait staff that brought the overall score down from perfect. First, let me share what was done well. The selection of appetizers was almost overwhelming with small bites like the taste of caviar that is served on blinis with a creamy goat cheese and chilled vodka. The caviar was creamy with the mildest fish flavor. The vodka was perfectky chilled. We also had smoked salmon on cucumber with capers, it was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. Next we enjoyed soup, she had the de jour, an asparagus soup with lump crab. I had the french onion, which was loaded with crustinis and covered in grueyere and baked to golden pefection. For the main course, we had the lobster tail broiled in a butter bath with braised short ribs. The short rib was roasted to nelty perfection with a thick crust and juicy pink center. We also ordered the fillet with foie gras torchon and a burgundy reduction. This steak was perhaps the best I've had, with a complexity and depth of flavor with a perfect mouthfeel. I enjoyed every bite, even the portion I had wrapped up to go the following day. We enjoyed wine and beer and even split a brandy ice to top it all off. Every moment we spent at Paris 7th was wonderful until it was time to go. From the moment we asked for the check till we left took almost 40 minutes, which we remained patient for. The main issue we took with our server besides the long waits between seeing him, was that he offered us a champagne toast for our celebratory night but then completely forgot us, it wasn't much but it felt disingenuous. I supose I shouldnt have shorted the tip, but 12.5% is how I complain that the service fell short, which is common.
