We were greeted at the downstairs door and quickly shown to our table by a hostess. There seemed to be a small army of helpful waitstaff on hand. Very professional, France-like service. The waitress explained a couple of menu items for us, discussed the wine list and even tolerated my fractured French. Items were served quickly and were very attractively prepared. An amuse-bouche was served alongside excellent French bread before the meal. The duck was an unusual presentation, and very good, cooked exactly right. There is a deluxe prix fixe menu for $89 pp which we did not try.
Dress code mentioned during the reservation process was "business casual." Apparently T-shirts and flip-flops qualify here as business casual, but I suppose it's WDW policy to not turn away any diner. Also, the use of paper place mats instead of cloths seems a little incongruous given the atmosphere. There were a few well-behaved children during our visit, and the noise level, while not quiet, was better than at most WDW restaurants.
Cost for two people -- two appetizers, two entrees, dessert and a bottle of wine, about $225. Thanks, WDW, for Tables in Wonderland!

My wife and I dined at Monsieur Paul, at Epcot, the new French restaurant. It was certainly an interesting (and disappointing) dining experience as much has changed from the previous "format". The tables were rearranged so that tables for 4, 6 or 8 were positioned along the windows. Tables for two were positioned along a row of tables at the rear wall of the restaurant. We were seated at one of these very tight tables literally sitting elbow to elbow with adjacent diners. Also, unfortunately, there were approximately 8 families with very young children (ages infant to about 3 yrs old) seated across from us. The children (I counted about 14 of them) were extremely noisy all evening. They were crying, yelling, banging on the table and more crying throughout. I complained to the maitre d and all he offered were his apologies. I requested to be seated elsewhere, which fell on "deaf ears",
We noticed a more casual ambience when we entered the restaurant. There are no more tablecloths, only paper place mats, no flowers or decorations. The menu does not reflect a casual ambience as all entrees "hovered" around $42. The menu offerings were brief as compared to previous. My wife and I selected the red snapper. The "snapper" was quite delicious, however, when you order snapper, that is all that is on the plate (a 4" x 4" square filet). The sauce that accompanied the snapper was quite good. The cost for two dinners, two small dinner salads, one glass of wine, one Perrier was $145.00 (no coffee, no dessert). The service was ok and not great. We could not hear our server, as the adjacent noise from the small children and overall noise in the restaurant made it impossible to carry on any kind of conversation.
Needless to say, we will not be returning to this restaurant.
Monsieur Paul needs to change their name to Monsieur NO NO!!!

I made my reservation for Bistro de Paris, and it was automatically changed to Monsieur Paul. We were seated quickly (by the window, which was nice) and the service was great. The prices are high, but the food was delicious. We had the scallops and my parents had the beef. i thought the best part of dinner was the orange souffle. It took some time to come out, which gave us time to chat and relax,and was excellent.
The only downfall was that if one of your party members needs an elevator, it only seats one person and takes what seems like an eternity to go up and down.

We visited Monsieur Paul about a week after it reopened. The food was great. The Homard du Maine a l'Armoricaine (lobster with bisque reduction) was amazing. We had the roasted duck breast for dinner. The duck was done beautifully with a hint of Asian spices. I highly recommend the warm chocolate and almond cake for dessert...it was a great ending to the meal.
The only downside to our dinner was the ambiance. Aside from some noisy children (it is Disney), Monsieur Paul dress code seems to have become more relaxed. We felt like we were in a more expensive quick service instead of a signature restaurant...not the ambiance we were hoping for for our anniversary dinner.
