Pascal's On Ponce, Coral Gables FL

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.

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

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.

Been here countless times.
Always enjoyable & content.
Miami spice menus great!

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.

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.

I don’t understand why this restaurant has any good reviews. It’s clear this was a good restaurant once, but the owner/chefs have gotten lazy. This bears no resemblance to quality French food. It’s sloppy and poorly made. Pascal’s is priced high and presented low. Shame on them.

One of the best french restaurants i have visited, indeed a classic place with an excellent service and exquisite food

We went to Pascals at the outbreak of COVID and enjoyed it a great deal. We vowed to go back when we felt safe in doing so. We returned last night and were seated right away. We ordered three apps, wine, and a main. We got the apps about a half hour after we ordered - not great, but should have been sooner. Two were wonderful, one was inedible. We then waited another 45 for our main after our dishes had been cleared. After 45 minutes, we asked our waiter where our food was. We were informed that the order had not been put in but it would come out soon. After another 15 minutes, we decided to cancel and pay for what we had eaten. The chef then proceeded to come out of the kitchen, start yelling at us, and threaten to charge us anyway. We stood our ground only to have the chef start yelling at us for a second time. We understand the difficulty of post COVID employment problems, but poor communication by an ample wait staff and the actions of the chef left a horrible impression on us. We wanted to support them. We will not return.

Way over priced for the quality of food and not to mention the time it took and the lack of customer service. We paid $480 and we were completely unsatisfied and hungry after paying that for basic food. Nothing French in this restaurant.the service was not only slow but poor. Save your time and especially your money and don’t go.

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.

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.

Best French restaurant in Miami! Perfect from start to finish. The foi gras was particularly amazing. Definitely recommend

My wife and I had dinner last night as an early celebration of our wedding anniversary expecting a great experience as we’ve had in the past, unfortunately this did not happen because of chef Pascal’s arrogance.
My wife ordered the special of sea scallops and as soon as she tasted the mollusks she immediately detected a whiff of ammonia which I confirmed as well. She told the staff. The plate was returned almost untouched. She was not offered a replacement dish.
Upon receiving the check, the scallop special was included in the bill. My wife requested to speak to chef Pascal who refused, stating that he was very busy.
This attitude is totally unacceptable and arrogant.
We were expecting, as repeat patrons, to be offered at least a replacement course or removing this item from the check which is commonly done in all restaurants.
Well, we will not visit this restaurant anymore.
Dissatisfied and disappointed customers.

I came here for valentines last night w my husband - we've been here a few other times include two other valentines days. Typically they are great. Yesterday however was a terrible experience. They intentionally overbooked - that's what we were told. Because of that, they were extremely behind. Our reservation was at 7: 15 but we didn't get a text that the table was ready UNTIL 9PM! We only know because we received a text. We had left about a half hour prior. And honestly they couldn't have cared less about us. They allowed another couple to be seated ahead of a few couples that were waiting including my husband and I. Again, didn't apologize, try to explain or anything. The front guy Jose didn't come from a place of empathy but said "woa is me - people are just upset" and actually said it was the same runaround last year. So they didn't learn from their mistakes but chose to treat people the same way. So everyone knows we had this reservation in place for a month prior. The worst part is no caring by the restaurant, no apology. We did not end up eating dinner here last night. I honestly love the food here but am so insulted and disappointed how we were treated. I don't think anyone who works or owns this restaurant would want to be treated this way yet they have no trouble treating others like dirt.
