Editorial Review for Pierrot Bistrot Francais – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Perhaps the city's most authentic bistro, Pierrot welcomes patrons to its exposed-brick dining room to catch up over plates of escargots, pâté and foie gras. Beacon Hill couples and off-duty doctors make the short walk to rub elbows, literally (space is at a premium). The restaurant's efficient staff consists almost entirely of French natives, and a soundtrack of chanson tunes plus a mostly French wine list all add to the charm.
The Food
With a menu of classic bistro fare (pig's feet salad, steak tartare, creme caramel), all served in a straightforward style, Pierrot satisfies expats and diners who pine for a return visit to Paris. Portions are exceptionally large--a starter of briny steamed mussels is large enough for two, while entrees like savory beef Burgundy and rich chicken cordon bleu beckon for doggie bags. Few can resist a sweet finish, courtesy of creamy homemade chocolate mousse or sinful profiteroles.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkCarafes of house wine are of decent quality and provide a much better bargain that the wine list's full bottles.
When to GoGuests looking to enjoy their meal in peace should consider coming in for lunch, when the room is rarely full and quiet conversation is more likely to be accommodated.

pierrot is our favorite restaurant- we have been going there since it opened 4 years ago, so when we had a special birthday to celebrate we asked pierre and sam if we could make a party there for about 50 people on a sunday afternoon. The party was today and it was absolutely fabulous!!!- the food , the ambience, the service and working with sam, pierre and their staff was truly a wonderful experience- They did everything to make the party the huge success it was- and we have been receiving phone calls since we got home telling us how great it was We always highly recommentd pierrot for a wonderful dining experience, and now we are delighted to recommend it just as highly for a superb function-
Pros: ambience, service food- all excellent

I went last month for my birthday and I was really looking for a good dessert . The entree was ok ...still I was expecting something way better . The worse came with the dessert which was supposed to be a " chocolate souffle" ; I don't even know how to describe the thing .....kind of white and like an old chewing gum texture . I think that we keept eating it just to guess what it was !!!!! And NO chocolate at all ! I wish we could have talk to someone but we were so desperate that we just left . Plus it's way too expensive .Never again !!!!!
Pros: maybe the bread
Cons: food
