We actually had lunch at the Le Jules Verne on the day of our departure back to the states. The food and service was fabulous and it was a wonderful way to end our trip - that fantastic view! And also, because we had the restaurant reservation, we did not have to wait in line to go up to the tower. Enjoy!

I am sure Jules Verne is very nice. We went to Alt. 95 after sightseeing for the day. I guess the maitre'd did not like my husband's blue jeans and golf shirt (I was in a black dress with black shoes) b/c we were seated in the corner with no view other than the metal construction of the Eiffel Tower. Make sure you get reservations and dress appropriately whatever you do!

We ate at Alt. 95 last year. The view was great...the food just ok...they do have a childrens menu...was NOT impressed with that at all. Course our kids favorite food is escargot and that was not on the kids menu. Anyway, the dinner was not expensive...but it was worth it to do the touristy thing and enjoy the nightime view. As far as dress...we saw everything...casual, jeans...all the way to suits. The casual dressers definitely looked out of place however.

We have had lunch at Jules Verne three times. Each time the service and food have been wonderful. <BR><BR>The problem is getting reservations. I have never been able to get dinner reservations even months ahead of time. So do book early if you plan to go. I don't think 6 months ahead is too soon.

We had dinner at Alt 95 last month because Jules Verne was closed for renovation. I was prepared for mediocre food and service and was pleasantly surprised by the opposite. We witnessed large groups being served "tour group food" and I'm sure their experience was not the same as ours. Three of us had dinner and dessert and a nice bottle of wine for $100. With the wonderful view, I thought it was a terrific value!

We are going to Paris in July. I tried to get a reservation at Jules Verne and was told they were booked till the end of July. A week later I decided to try and get a lunch reservation. This time I was pleased to receive a reply with a dinner confirmation. I'd go for it!

I am sure dinner at Jules Verne is fabulous, but I enjoyed the lunch there--it is still expensive, though. The nice thing about lunch is, you can see the city in clear daylight. Maybe you can save the romance and have dinner at Le Grand Vefour, where Napoleon courted Josephine.

I think the food and service of the Jules Verne is consistent with it's Michelin 1 star rating. The location and view however does take it's cost to a 3 star level.<BR>Cost for two with wine with the fixed price menu was about $180.<BR>I should note that you may eat as well but at much less cost at many places if you eat at Lunch and order the fixed price menus. Lucas Carlton for lunch was much better and about the same price as jules verne on our last visit to Paris.
