Hôtel Costes Restaurant

While in Paris with my friends visited Costes Resturant. we loved the atmosphere and the over all vibes of the place, which is areal Parisian. The staff were nice and helpful and the service was great. The food came fresh and tasty. As for the prices, it is considered bit high.

This place has a lot of hype and the atmosphere is super cozy. A real Parisian experience. The servers though are a bit nonchalant and the food was ordinary. If you want the Paris atmospheric experience this is a great place, but if you’re solely looking for a good food experience I would look elsewhere.

Absolutely not up to standard! Extremely rude and poor service. Water was not poured at all. Wine poured ONCE during the whole dinner. The waiter tried to clear our plates while we were still eating but never bothered to pour wine or water. And at the end the waiter told us she didn’t have any money to give back so she forced me to give the change as a tip. Completely UNACCEPTABLE.

Amazing atmosphere—classy and elegant…. And sexy I guess. Came here for dinner, and all I can say is the la sole was absolutely delicious, served in a perfectly balanced sauce. Unfortunately, the service was a disaster—our waiter seemed completely out of it. She forgot to order our main dish, removed our silverware before the food even arrived, and overall, it was just a mess. That said, we still had a great night out. It’s pricey, but worth indulging in once in a while!

Great vibe and food, but have to give them 1 star because I think it’s crazy in this day and age, you are allowed to smoke in what is basically an in door restaurant. To be forced to breathe in toxic air while having an enjoyable, and expensive meal is just rude. Only in France would this be acceptable. Why should my health suffer? Not good enough.

If I could give a zero I would, went through hell and back to call and make a reservation at 9 A.M., they refused to give any sort of sms or email confirmation which was suspicious but once we arrived we waited in the line for 20 minutes to get to the front to be told we didn’t make a reservation and they didn’t have our name down. Either means they’re hiring incompetent staff which is more than likely the issue or they just discriminate against who they please. Spent 20 minutes discussing with the people at the front who were extremely rude, unprofessional, unwelcoming and finally got seated after arguing over who was right(customers always right). Portions are laughable and so is the staff. Heard a few stories that they only hire models which might be why the staff is extremely incompetent and stuck up but beware. Your experience will more than likely be ruined by the staff or portions. Maybe they need to focus a little less about what the staff looks like and more on their qualifications. I have never seen a worker at a restaurant who makes less throughout the whole night then a single drink costs be so rude and unprofessional. As per all the other reviews you guys more than likely won’t respond but our experience was absolutely pathetic and based on the other guests we talked to they said the same. They need to get rid of every staff member and humble them. These workers need to focus more of booking gigs then discriminating against people who can actually afford to dine at this establishment.

my favorite Parisian table, I go there whenever I want to eat outside. They have the best ceviche in town!

And there is Costes restaurant.. A celebrity magnet situated in the heart of the city of chic. Equal parts iconic and slightly freaky, Costes has morphed into an international meetup and hookup hotspot—a “stepping out” destination for those ready to don their heels (and Botox) for a night drenched in opulence. But let’s skip the clichés about how overrated, overpriced, and underwhelming the food and wine list are. Instead, let’s get straight to their so-called “famous” cheesecake. For the love of all things sweet, I cannot fathom the hype. Maybe if you’ve never had a cheesecake in your life, you might find it passable. But trust me, do yourself a favor and avoid this culinary catastrophe. After a very forgettable dinner, which itself was a painful exercise in mediocrity, we waited about 20 minutes for a server to reappear and ask if we wanted coffee or dessert. We decided to take their cheesecake to go. Big mistake. Another 20 minutes later, our “dessert” arrived at the table in a laughably oversized brown container. At this point, even McDonald’s could claim a more refined approach to takeout packaging. For €18, you’d think they’d at least present this so-called famous dessert with some dignity. But alas, no such luck. Fast forward to getting home, filled with anticipation to finally try this microscopic dessert. One bite, and we were done. Spitting it out, we couldn’t decide what was worse—the odd, almost sour taste of what I can only assume was expired Philadelphia cream cheese or the raw cookie dough crust that crumbled with granulated sugar crunching between our teeth. Absolutely inedible. Sure, I get it. Instagrammers have turned Costes into the place to be in Paris. If you’re all about the “see and be seen” scene or scheming your way through the city’s over-the-top party circuit, then sure, why not pay them a visit. But if you’re looking for a proper meal—or a cheesecake that doesn’t double as a culinary crime—do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. Cheers to better choices!
