A Gem of A French Restaurant!

by informedcustomer

This was my first visit after nearly three years. If I was impressed then, I was simply delighted this time around. The charcuterie and calamari appetizers were outstanding. For entrees we had the Pork Loin & Risotto, the Duck Confit & gnocchi, and Lamb Shanks & Gratin; happily sharing these excellent and generously-portioned dishes amongst ourselves. Service was prompt and friendly, the wines well-selected and affordable. I love the warm and comfortable feel of Pastis. We came on a Sunday night and it was quiet; although I suspect the opposite on Saturdays. Pastis has made my list. I will certainly be back.

• Pros: Food, Ambience, Service, Wine List
• Cons: None

You never know what you will get!!

I live around the corner from Pasti's, I have eaten there atleast 10 times. I have had the most amazing meals and I have had some awful meals there. I have had the best and the worst service there. Needless to say I have a love/hate relationship with this resturant. Pasti's is very inconsistant, you should definitly try but you never know what you will get!!!

• Pros: When they are good they are great!!
• Cons: When they are bad, it is really bad!!

Delicious French food and friendly service

by lcp1981

I have been going to Pastis for several years and have always highly enjoyed what I've ordered. Their brunch, lunch, and dinner options are all great, with a nice wine selection. The servers are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Request a table on the porch upstairs, if available, to enjoy the quaint view of historic Roswell.

Not a good place to eat. When you want second rate eating at this place is great.

Yummy French Food!

by laura_atlanta

Needed to locate a restaurant at the last minute that was open on Sundays. I got very lucky on picking this for our group of six. The restaurant & area had a lot of character (downtown Roswell location). The food & service were impeccable. Good selection on the menu and in addition a few specials to pick. Our group enjoyed the food & service so much that we made a second trip back a short time later.

• Pros: Food, Service
• Cons: A little noisy

Spacious French restaurant serves as a lively meeting spot in historic Roswell.

The Scene
Sitting snug between the art galleries and antiques shops of old Roswell, Pastis is a deceptively large space that's sophisticated and stately rather than Provencal cottage cute. Downstairs houses a full bar and piano. Upstairs, lofty ceilings and hardwood floors keep the noise level high. Popular with large chatty groups, families and middle-age singles, Pastis also occasionally plays host to French-class field trips.

The Food
Look for Middle Eastern and Asian touches in a dinner menu built around bistro classics like pommes frites and mushrooms in pastry. Tasty roasted duck rests rare on a bed of curried lentils surrounded by a spiced carrot confit. A pear tart topped with surprisingly sweet five-spice ice cream outshines a more traditional dessert of vanilla ice cream and bland chocolate sauce atop puff pastry. The restaurant's namesake liqueur--flavored with anise and tempered with just a bit of water--makes an excellent pre- or post-dinner drink.

Lovely romantic setting, ok food

by aqualuna

If you are used to Outback & Chili's, this place is heaven, but for those of us who have lived in France, they have not quite hit the mark.

I had an asiago cheese salad with a giant slab of cheese of over the salad that was a bit dried out, chewy and oily showing it had obviously been pre-made. Flavor was good, though, and the dressing was great. The mussels came in a creamy tomato sauce that reminded me of a spiced up Campbell's; I much prefer a lovely garlic parsley butter.

The best part of the meal were the rolls~wonderful, whole grain and white, crusty and warm.

• Pros: Elegant, nice lighting, GREAT bread

Local Treasure

by pvisf

Pastis is a great restaurant for people bored of chains.

Food consists of French and European staples that are consistant and well prepared. Daily specials are usually some of the best.

Get a seat on the balacony for an impressive view.

• Pros: Quaint, Good food, Nice view
• Cons: parking

Canton Street Jewel

by erinbehan_citysearch

A spot on the upstairs porch, overlooking the street, is the perfect place to linger over dinner. Service has always been pleasant and prompt, and the food a cut above (in both creativity and taste) other area restaurants. Taken out of town friends here several times and have never been disappointed.
