Cafe Pastis - North Miami

I had been two times already in this place. Service is super good, food is super yummy and price is pretty decent. This French restaurant is very cozy… Is better if you make a reservation. Outside sitting is great but if you don’t have a reservation and you are lucky to find a table inside, it can be pretty uncomfortable because usually the only tables available will be just right in the middle where they walk to go to pick up the orders and stuff. they have decent wines at a good price.

The food is delicious, but caveat emptor Buyer Beware! My wife and I have eaten here three times. We love the casual, French bistro ambiance and the wait staff are attentive and friendly. The menu is varied and we 've never been disappointed with a dish. All good, so far. However, the second time we ate here, I noticed the bill seemed higher than expected. When I looked closer, I found that we had been charged about $30 extra, because an extra dish had been added to the bill. When I pointed this out, the wait staff promptly fixed it. I figured it was an accident. Recently, we had dinner and I noticed the same high bill again. When I examined the check (they 're handwritten and a challenge to decipher) I discovered we had been charged for two extra glasses of wine. The manager/owner passed by and I pointed out the discrepancy. He checked with the waiter, apologized, canceled the first credit card charge, and rang us up again. BUT the new bill still did not add up mathematically. The waiter a very friendly guy compared it to the menu. The subtotal numbers were correct, but the total was $9 over what the food and tax should have been. Less than our original overcharge, but still wrong. Coincidence? It 's either sloppy accounting or a way to overcharge customers who don 't pay attention or don 't want to dispute an extra charge of $25 or $30. We are disillusioned with Café Pastis and will not be returning.

Excellent food. V tasty, not expensive. This is the confit de canard and the tart tatin. Other reviews say service is bad if you do not speak French learning French. The place is authentic and no, the French are not Americans and possessed with service. Relax, enjoy the great food and wine!

The food was delicious! The French onion soup was fantastic, and the cream was wonderful. My friend ordered the pear cake but decided to swap it for the cream crumble, which was also great. The service was excellent.

Braised duck with cowardly sauce was amazing! normally they order duck when it is cooked crispy, so it tried anyway and was glad that I did. I had the pear salad for appetizer and cream brule with surprise skyberry inside for desert. have visited a series of times and tried different escapes each time and enjoyed everyone. a great place to celebrate or just to enjoy a night.
