What Colin Goldstein likes about Le Papillon:
Perhaps the best upscale restaurant in the south bay. The food and service were absolutely top notch. Best of all, it wasn 't a stuffy atmosphere. I dare you to resist the dessert platter (see pictures). View all feedback. What Kaja Czarnecki doesn't like about Le Papillon:
The tasting menu is not worth $160. Cod is fishy and the sauce doesn’t match it. Same problem with the abalone. The alcohol in cream made the dessert taste bitter. The appetizer is great though. View all feedback.
