Our 30th anniversary dinner at Le Papillon was absolutely wonderful. The romantic ambiance, delicious food, and impeccable service made it a night to remember. We're so grateful to the staff for making our celebration special. Highly recommend!!

One of the best fine dining experiences in the Bay Area. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, along with an impressive wine list and decent cocktails. Friendly and efficient service. Parking can be an issue, though, since the parking lot is small and located at a busy intersection.

This is an interesting French dining experience. All the dishes are creative and beautiful. The combination of flavors is amazing. They have complementary small snack in between. We chose 4 courses for $140. The service was extremely professional. It’s interesting fine dining experience

Excellent food and service. Comfortable atmosphere. The steak was perfectly cooked and the sides complemented it really well. The wine list has good selections and reasonably priced.

Exceptional foods and service. I like how quiet and warm ambience at this restaurant. We were very happy from our dining experience here celebrating our anniversary. The only thing that I was a bit disappointed was the deserts, it tasted stale to me.

Service was great, but food ...really awful, no wonder they are not a Michelin star restaurant, food is either overcooked and or wayyy too much sodium. come on, this is worse than my husband's cooking... do better!!! you are charging $200 per person, food should not be so nasty! Warning*** do not get dessert!! do not get dessert here!! we had 12 people in 2 table, we tried all of the desserts.. do not get the desserts!!! the only thing that was okay, was the souffle. if you want good food, just go to Gary danko or something, not here. I left with great disappointment.

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.
