Le Papillon

A friend talked about this place for almost six months before we decided to go and check it out. It is fine dining experience and they received a Michelin star. Food was amazing. If I could make one suggestion, especially if you decide to have a meal here. Order something that you’ve never tried or experienced, because everything just tasted so refined and excellent in execution. My only disappointment is disappointment to myself for choosing safe choices/bets when deciding on the courses. I’ve never had a more flavorful soup in my life. Unless you have a sweet tooth, you should skip the dessert. It was good, but not phenomenal like the main courses. I’m definitely contemplating whether or not to bring my family here as a celebratory meal. It’s expensive, but worth every cent. 10/10 would recommend.

Very nice dinner experience. I have been to this restaurant before the pandemic. This is the first visit after reopening. Food and service are still excellent just as expected even not a Michelin star restaurant. I ordered the more flexible four course dinner menu, no matter the presentation, taste , portion are just right. Plus the 2012 Abreu Rothwell Hyde, what a nice dinning experience. If you order the same wine, make sure to have the server to decant wine for about an hour, that should bring out the full potential of the wine. In my opinion, for such a good food, good wine with reasonable price tab, this is a hidden germ in the city. I sure will come again and again. Update 09/21/23 Second visit in 5 months. I bought my own Paso Robles Chateau Margene 2016 CAB this time. Ready to drink right after open, so good to pair with the food. I tried the tasting menu this time. Again ... food and service are excellent as expected. Very fresh alaskan spot prawn, with a touch of caviar, you sure can tell that is perfect match. Maryland soft shell crab is an interesting fusion attempt, but tasted beyond my expectation. Chestnut cappelletti chicken blow my mind away with the first bite, so tender with complex favour. Loin of veal is as good as any top steak house in the bayarea. Of course, soufflé grand mariner is a must have every single visit and you will never be disappointed. What a nice dinning experience after very stressful work. I will be back.

We had a great experience at la papillon. We visited LA papillon for my wife's birthday and their service was great. We had many complimentary special bites from the chef that tasted great. We had the 3 course and 4 course meals. 4 course meal was really heavy thinking back. We had their beef tenderloin and roasted duck for main course and it tasted great! For the proce, I think food could have been better. The ambience and the service is top notch and a great place for celebration. This place also requires good attire, so dress up!

I recently dined at La Papillon in San Jose, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The restaurant's elegant ambiance sets the perfect mood for a fine dining outing. For appetizers, I highly recommend trying their exquisite selection; they set the tone for the rest of the meal. The lobster and sea bass dishes were undoubtedly the stars of the night - cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The soup choices were equally impressive, offering a delightful burst of taste with every spoonful. The service was impeccable, with a friendly and attentive server who ensured that fresh, clean utensils were brought for every new course. The attention to detail in this regard added an extra touch of class to the meal. While La Papillon undoubtedly offers a top-notch dining experience, it's essential to be prepared for the higher price tag that accompanies such quality. Keep in mind that it may be a little bit expensive, but the overall experience is well worth it for special occasions or when you're looking to indulge. If you're looking for an upscale culinary journey with impeccable service, La Papillon is the place to be. Just be ready to splurge a bit for an unforgettable dining experience.
