Review summary

Auguste in Paris offers modern French cuisine, generally praised for high food quality, beautiful presentation, and excellent seafood and desserts. Guests appreciate the cozy, intimate atmosphere and the sommelier's knowledgeable wine pairings. However, experiences vary significantly regarding service, with some reporting unfriendly staff, slow pacing, or ignoring specific needs like hearing impairments. Negative reviews also highlight issues with lunch pricing transparency, unexpected supplements, and occasional cooking errors, such as undercooked duck. While many find the value reasonable for the quality, others feel the cost does not justify inconsistent service or operational lapses.
